How crazy can I possibly be?

     Yesterday was a rather long & eventful day..first off we went to early service at our church, the adult choir did their Christmas program. We then went to the church that my girls have choir at, & oh was is a sight to see...well hear..oh whatever it was beautiful..all the different choirs performed the orchestra, band, the hand-bell ringers, the kids of all ages sang...it was beautiful.

Then along with all the other idiots in our area we went to Candy Cane Cash....it is where you receive tickets for patronizing different merchants from the weekend after Thanksgiving until a certain weekend in December....well it was yesterday.They draw tickets to give away money with the grand prize drawing being $10,000.....well it was gorgeous when we first go out there yesterday, in fact I was thinking geeze it is hot  in this sweater, I should have warn short sleeves........but then here comes the clouds & the wind...and MORE WIND...and the COLD...freezer yourself to the bone COLD......and the radio announcer even said hey, did somebody turn on the air conditioner?......I wanted to leave, but I was torn...I wanted the $10,000 too.....well we started venturing to the car after the second to the last drawing...slowly....we needed to get up & move around & warm up but we still wanted that $....we ended up running into hubby's grandmother on our way to the car...was she NUTS for being out here in this weather???  I know I was...but ya know what people won't do for some money !

so we didn't end up winning any money...and I always vow never to go back again...until Thanksgiving comes around & the grocery stores, restaurants, banks..etc.. start giving out tickets again....and then I think to myself  it only takes one ticket to win...and my kids beg to go because well...you know they are kids & they don't mind freezing to death outside while eating enough sand to choke a horse....so until next year..

Then we rushed back to our church WITH the heater on full blast I may add..trying to get the feeling back in our bodies....oh my ...my fingers were hurting so bad..

So we got back to our church for the children's Christmas program...which was fun to see as always and after that we had a church potluck Christmas dinner...so I didn't have to cook dinner ...which made me a happy camper.

Then we came home and watched the end of surviver to see Bob win....I wanted Sugar to win, but she didn't.
