RANDOM, RANDOM and MORE RANDOM

First off, the football contest BELOW has been extended through Friday night. The gals that got their picks in the first day, get extra chances, if their team wins, BUT with the way the games went this past weekend
ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.
Just to set the record straight, because some of you might not know, I am a BRETT FARVE fan. Always have been, so I have been a Packer, a Jet and now a Viking.

So my pick is the VIKINGS! That would be a HAPPY DAY for me....just in case you cared.

Enough about football as I know some of you are NOT football fans. I finally have all my Christmas down, in record time. I am ready for one of my elves, TERRI , to rearrange all my stuff while I am on vacation. I don't know which I am more excited about. I love a new look and I love someone else to do it. She is great at rearranging and we have very similar taste so as I leave town next week, headed to a Vail for a family vacation, I am leaving her the key! Until then, I have a NAKED HOUSE.

I have several giveaways that I want you to check out. Both of these blogs are daily reads of mine. Channa has a great Vintage Pearl Giveaway. She is a coaches wife so I love reading her blog. My friend Misty has a FABULOUS PAJAMA GIVEAWAY at Wind Beneath My Wings. I have loved her posts from the day I began blogging. Hope you will stop by both of those blogs and maybe you will win a fun goodie.

I am so ready for a vacation and a week where I am with JUST family. If any of you live or vacation in the Vail/Frisco area and have a favorite place to eat...be sure and leave me a comment.

As we look forward to a vacation, I sit here so moved and so horrified at the scenes from Haiti. I have to turn away at times, as the pictures are so horrible. God help us not to take our blessings for granted. We live in such a different world. I am praying right now that I will know the best way I can help. Some weeks life seems harder than others. This week I lost a dear friend to ovarian cancer, I have a friend that is walking through a very tough family problem, my youngest little man, Grayson, has been very sick for a week (he is much better), another friend needs a clear answer in dealing with a child, a close friend for 35 years fell and broke her ankle along with other things on top of her lupus. I do not have to read many blogs to know this resembles the same kind of week many of you have had. My heart is heavy for so many people tonight. I am so thankful that I know the power of prayer and can not only offer it but can ask for it.

I am so thankful tonight for all my new blog friends. This post sure turned into a downer...and that's not my normal post. Come back soon and I will share my sweet grandchildren with you. They will make you smile.

You still have time to enter the SUPER BOWL CONTEST, so go to this post and leave your pick....There will be a winner of a $100.00 PRIZE.
