I WON! I WON! :)

I actually had a relaxing weekend! One that actually felt like it lasted longer than normal. I didn't do much on Saturday. I did a little cleaning, but for the most part I hung out and watched lots of Grey's Anatomy. Jacob got home around 6:00. I sure was glad to see that boy! Yesterday was filled with even more relaxing. Loved it.

This morning I won a radio contest! The station I listen to does it every morning. It's called, "Smarter Than Genevieve". You have to answer 5 general knowledge trivia questions. The guy reads the questions while she's out of the room. Then she comes back in and answers them. If you get more than her then you win. She's only lost 6 or 7 times since November! I'm always yelling answers at the radio, but have never phoned in because I always figured I'd go blank under pressure, but I rocked it and got 4 out of 5. I blanked on the first one, but got the other 4!

For some reason when he said they'd take the first caller I decided I'd dial and see what happened. I expected a busy signal, but it started ringing. I couldn't believe it when he said I was caller 1!

See how many of these you can get right.

1. Which star is closest to Earth
2. What candy bar commercial was Betty White in last year?
3. HNZ is the stock symbol for which company?
4. What chain of restaurants has the slogan, "Down on the Farm"
5. What is the name of the Cajun food made with rice and various other ingredients such as meat, seafood  and vegetables?

I totally guessed on 3 and 4 but I had a good hunch. When he told me I got 4 out of 5 I was pretty psyched! Anyway, I ended up winning a 1 hour massage in Springfield! I was in the best mood ever after I won that! Usually they only do 30 minutes massages, so I got extra lucky.

Now we're just waiting for the big snowstorm to blow through. The ice started around noon. I left work at 3:40 and this was my windshield pre-scraping.


I've heard we'll get about an inch to an inch and a half of ice and depending on what radio station or news station you listen to anywhere from 4-16 inches. LOL! I'm guessing it'll be somewhere in the middle of that. Jacob got out of school at 2 today and I'm guessing they'll call school tonight. Why wait til morning when everyone knows it's going to snow? Unfortunately for me, unless the power goes out at work I'll still have to go. There are only 5 of us who live in town, which means we always have to go in. Sucky for us! I'll probably end up getting called in early too. Boo to that! I want a snow day too! Oh well.

Time to go chow down on some leftover chili and storm snacks. Haha! I totally went to Dollar General for batteries and came out with snackage too. Then some House with the hubby and The Bachelor (not with the hubby!) Heidi and I have a texting date during the show. Here's hoping for no power outages! (Unless it's at my work!)

  2. That ice was something else! I remember when we had it I went to the parking lot and almost fell a few times! It was awful scrapping the ice off! I would rather have snow any day - looks like it will happen...oh Joy!
    Congratulations on your win! EnJOY your message - I have never had one - well except for my husband doing it...
