Huh??

You know you're old and uncool when.... your 21 year old son is excitedly telling you that he is thinking of buying led tail lights for his truck, and you have not a clue what he's talking about! I asked the obvious question, "What's wrong with the ones you've got?" He politely pointed out to me that that was NOT the point! It's something about the coolness factor or something. I dunno.

TMI

I can't believe that this time a year ago, we were deeply embroiled in planning Sarah's wedding! Time goes just way too fast! I was in on most of her decisions and choices. I think we did really well. I thought everything turned out great! Considering we were trying to keep the costs reasonable, we did fabulous. Sure, it would have been great to be able to afford fresh flowers everywhere for the decor, but it just was not in the budget! So, she ran most of her thoughts, ideas past me, and we have very similar taste, so there were almost no disagreements. The one thing she didn't run by me was her bridal lingerie, thank gawd! heh

Gift

I've mentioned on numerous occasions that I turn 50 next month *gag*. So hubby has been asking me repeatedly what I want for my birthday. First it was a DSL camera, and now I'm thinking more along the lines of jewelry, like a ring, or I've also been looking at luxury watches as well. I guess I better make a decision soon!

My Mom's TV died this weekend. It was fairly old, so no big deal. My brother went and bought her a brand new 32" plasma TV. She's thrilled with it! I'm sure she's enjoying the extra space in her living room too! Tomorrow she is going to call the local cable company and get a high definition cable box installed. Then she's going to decide if she wants a plasma lift console or not.

Do you have any luck when it comes to winning things? I sure don't! One time I won a really nice hockey bag at my son's tournament. Another time I won the 50/50 prize at one of his games. For all the money I spent over the years on hockey, I don't think I came out even on that deal. This year I bought a ticket for the Oilers raffle, and I won $100. That's pretty much the biggest prize I've won. How lame is that!? Guess that means I likely won't be winning the draw for Dick's Sporting Goods coupons!
