I feel lucky, Oh so Lucky

And why do I feel this way you may ask? Because, Friday when I called to see how much my check was, it was 200 something more than it was supposed to be. this put me on alert, so I went to check my statement, which I have to do online cus we are paperless. It showed that I had been given two checks, one for !!!. something and one for ??? something. the !!!! one had been pulled back and replaced with the ??? one. that is more than I bring home a week, so I had to find out why. well, I went to the person at work who would look into this and asked him to find out why they gave me 200 more than I normally bring home. Long story kinda short, he called, and they said they accidently took out that money from a previous check and so they are returning it to me. the extra cash is mine. woo hooo. that made me so happy. I would have noticed if they took out an extra 200, but if they say its mine, i am not asking any more.

yesterday, I got home and had to find the back for the quilt I made. linda wanted patriots fleece, since they no longer make the small helmets one in blue. so I went online and started my hunt. I went to the regular search places. I knew I could find it in a certain price range, it wasnt full blown football season yet. i went to ebay, where I found the best price on the red, but it was all 13.99 a yard there. so i went to another site and bam, there it was for 10.99 a yard and shipping was only 7 something. I was pretty proud of myself there.

While on my search, amber popped in to say hi. that is always a nice surprise. we talked about the trip to vegas which is coming up fast. i dont know how many of you ever go to the front page, but she put up a countdown. i love the pics she puts up. they are usually about something  to do with the trip. She is much more patient in searcing for pics and doing that creative stuff than I am. I wont even try to put a picture in these blog posts. its just to much work. Thanks Amber. I love those.

Then, to top off my day, i went to bed shortly after i got off line. i rubbed some lotion into my feetsies which sorta makes them feel better. its not as great as a pedi massage, but it works. I seem to be able to get to sleep if my feet dont hurt so much. DUH! Anyway, i opened my eyes a few times, but not really. when john came to bed i looked at the clock and fell back on the pillow. finally, i looked at the clock at 9. yes folks I typed 9 oclock. i slept all day and into the night. i am lucky to sleep 6 or 7 hours, no matter how tired i am. i slept about 10 hours yesterday. and do you know what that means. i felt really good all last night at work and here I am telling you all stuff, still feeling pretty good. im not gonna push my luck, i am going to try and get some more good sleep. oh, baby, it felt so good to wake up after all that sleep.

so that is the story of why i feel lucky. and happy. now im off to do something else. you all have a good day now.

    Chris' feet hurt him after a night standing on them too! He asks for a food rub. I have never done one and I am not about to start now.

  6. Ummmm Haley - I'll have to disagree on that one ;). I do seem to have walked into a very interesting conversation with Amber taking money from Lisa to not get a pedicure while Carol is getting ready to do Chris right.......

  9. By all means, come and do Chris feet!

    Chris has a corn on the bottom of his foot. He keeps putting it in my face and suggesting I take it out with my teeth! Are you up for that?

  11. Congratulations on your windfall money that they borrowed from you without interest. It's always a nice surprise to get "something extra" in your paycheck. When I can't sleep, I drink a shot of nighttime cold medicine (like NyQuil) - puts me out in less than 20 minutes.
