New Year 2007

This has been an exciting New Year already!
We left my parents on New Year's Day and Trenton
was not doing very good. (use your imagination)
On Tuesday all in the family was well.
Tuesday night! Zachary starts feeling sick!
Then Brooklynn comes down, she is not feeling well!
Then I start feeling sick, then Bryan! We all did somethings
except Brittany and Trenton! So the first day back to school
and Bryan's first day at his new job, we missed!!!
Crazy! Now we are all better, thank the Lord!!!
We started out fun!!!

Here is something that I thought was funny that happened last night.
Bryan and I just finished watching a video and I decided
to check our mail! Well there is something for Dr. Farmer
about a meeting we had. He was giving a prize to someone
who had the best suggestion.

Okay, here is the backdrop. We had a meeting Wednesday, and
anyone who had a suggestion was supposed to write down
their idea and whoever had the best one, they would
receive the prize! Well, I did not know that they would
go around the room and each of us had to say something!
My first comment to myself was, "You have got to be kidding me!
I
have nothing to say!" Everyone else was saying these interesting
things, plus they just know how to say them! I always get nervous
around most of the people that were in the room! They intimidate me!
Well I said my opinion, and it was about my weaknesses and on they went!
I have been beating myself up over what I could have said and all
that fun stuff!
Okay, back to Dr. Farmer's e-mail. He said, "I just want to report on the
winner with the best suggestion--------Marsha Potteiger". I started
laughing out loud and saying, "you can not be serious!! Look Bryan! I never
win anything, and when I don't try, I win!" Go figure!
So I won a $25 gift certificate to Moe's Southwest Grill. I do think that
it is cool. I have not been or even heard of Moe's but hey, my birthday
is coming up, so we will check it out!
I must say that the last something that I won was in PA in 1993 or 1994. I was
at Char's house and you could call in and win
tickets to this dinner and concert.
Char could not call in because she had already won things, which
she could do quite frequently (Grrrrrrrrr.) so she dialed the number
and I won! So Bryan and I went down around Lancaster and
we had dinner at a nice place with........I can't remember who was
singing, but Bryan and I were the ONLY young people there!
Oh well, free food and we had fun!!

You just can't beat those type of memories!!

Cool! That's great that you won. I thought your suggestion was really good too. Writing down procedures IS very important - I've had to start in too many jobs where there wasn't one! Grr!
