ok, so i felt so blessed lucky today that i bought a powerball ticket on the way home from the 'office' christmas party- by office i mean my work mates at trc- and we ate......all the stuff from the refrigerator and freezers that might not make it till 1/20/03- we had baked brie, steamed shrimp, sliced tenderloin (mostly rare) barbequed meatballs, among other things. there was also a big bowl of leftover coleslaw- but we look at this everyday, and nobody was really gunning to take any of that home.....i am on my way to a long-winters ....nap.......then i will test the newly installed water heater with a shower.......
