Sometimes I like to play the game, "If I Won the Lottery." It's a simple game, costs almost nothing (depends on if you actually buy the ticket or not) and makes me feel a little more optimistic about my boring... er, simple life.

Tonight I'm all about my love seat. Don't get me wrong, it's better than nothing, but when you only spend $30 at the Goodwill, you really can't expect much. It's lumpy, almost worn out (hello, it came from Goodwill) and you sort of sink into it, but not in a good way. More like you may need a crane to be hoisted out because your knees are up near your ears and you can't get any leverage to hoist yourself up. So while playing tonight's episode of "IIWTL," I decided that when I win, all the sitting surfaces in my house are going to be comfy. I don't care what they look like (although I do have some standards, don't plan on seeing this in my house: ...ever) but looks aren't as important as comfort. (Also, I figure that for enough money SOMEWHERE out there there has to be a sofa to be had that is both.) Don't get me wrong, I do have loftier dreams for when I win the lottery, but today... today, all I want is a comfy couch. That's not too much to ask for, right?

Thought for the Day

I totally stole this from my sister, but I really liked it, so I am claiming it. :P

Women are angels and when someone breaks our wings, we simply continue to fly... on a broomstick. We are flexible like that, so don't mess with us!

Random Thoughts While Driving Home

Dear Mother Nature,

Can we talk about this weather?? {yes, I was actually composing a letter}

Perhaps an investment in new windshield wipers is in order. These aren't helping so much as smearing.

I should go home and update my blog. It's been an embarrassingly long time since I have done that. Maybe I should just start a new one and let the old one die alone in shame.

Where did all this come from? It was clearing up like an hour ago...

Seriously people, you live in Colorado, it's not like you've never seen snow before.

Ugh, I REALLY need to do the dishes when I get home... WHY didn't I get a place with a dishwasher? I wonder if I could pay someone to come over and just do my dishes.

Dude! Just because you have four-wheel drive doesn't mean you can act like a maniac!

"When you've only got a hundred years to live..." Oooh, I just realized this is the first time in forever this song has come on and I haven't immediately switched the station.

Is everyone playing commercials at the same time? What, do all the stations get together and plan this out so you HAVE to listen to commercials? They should make a station of just commercials. Of course, I guess that would defeat the purpose then because no one would listen to...

Oh my gosh, that has to be the biggest snow plow I have ever seen. I think it's gonna eat my car.

Why do I only think of blog posts when I'm driving? I can't even jot them down, let alone type them out.

I should probably do laundry when I get home.

I really love these new boots.

Maybe I'll watch a movie when I get home. Hmm.... "The Truth About Charlie" or "Mamma Mia?"

I should probably start packing a suitcase to go out of town this weekend, just in case. It is Colorado and you never know what the weather is going to do.

I REALLY need to get to the post office. I'm not sure anyone is going to buy the excuse that I don't know where it is much longer.

Sometimes the speed and randomness of my thoughts amaze even me. And most of the time I don't even realize I am doing it. These bits of useless fluff were all conscious thoughts I had while driving home. Keep in mind I only live 5 minutes from work. And that's if the weather is bad, traffic is heavy and I hit all the red lights.
