Vote! Vote! Vote!

Will you please vote for me?  I’d love to win the Zune.  Of course, if you must vote for another, I understand.  But if you voted for me, I’d be eternally grateful.  And I’d love you forever.  Like I do now.

Shameless, I know.

I’ll Do My Whining in the Rain*

It’s Wednesday morning, kids.  I looked outside my living room window and thankfully I did not see snow, even though it snowed again yesterday.  Actually, it was a mix of snow and freezing rain.  I nearly fell on my ass at the grocery store.  Well, in the parking lot, really.

This morning it’s raining, raining.  I can live with that.  It’s the cold weather that I’m not in the mood for.  Although, I am prepared for it.  Sort of.  Yesterday, we got our 35+, original-with-the-house-furnace replaced.  It runs like a dream.  On natural gas!  No more freakin’ oil tank to refill.  No more $1,000 heating bills.  We’ll be saving about $375 dollars this year.  I’m psyched.

I’m not so happy that I haven’t found a new winter jacket yet.  I just can’t see paying two arms and a leg for a nice winter coat.  When did I become so frugal?  Oh, yeah.  I remember now.  When the economy took a big shit and left American tax payers a $700 billion mess to clean up.  Thanks, Wall Street.  Thanks, Bankers.  Thanks a freakin’ lot.

I’ve been searching the ads, Kohl’s, Penney’s and Younkers, waiting for a Fabulous Coat Sale but nothing reasonably priced has been found.  I’m sure I’ll find something soon.  I hope.

Otherwise I’ll be one frozen mama when the dump trucks of snow fall in a few weeks.

Thankfully, Dawson is all decked out for winter.  He hasn’t grown much.  Last year’s coat and snow pants still fit.  He’ll need a new hat, though.  His head must have gotten bigger.   This might be why he’s so smart.  Big brain.  Haha.

Anyway, I’m off to do various things that need to get done.  Enjoy your Wednesday.

* A $15 Amazon gift certificate is up for grabs!  In the comments, name the song my blog title is similar to and you’ll be entered into the drawing.  Must give me the following information:  Song title and who sings it, your name and an e-mail address I can reach you at if you win.  I’ll give you a hint.  The singers of this song are related.  Contest ends midnight CST on Friday, November 28th.  Good luck!
