The Girlies Invade Athens

More photos from the girlies first UGA game.

They also went to the UGA Botanical Garden, where Will spent time as a student.

Charles Norman and fam had their photo taken with Santa Blooper. I think someone gifted them the experience. Charles’ wife Addie is having surgery this week. She’s been so courageous. Pray for her.

Three of my coworkers were road tripping to Waukesha Wisconsin this weekend. They left out on Friday morning and stopped in Nashville to eat hot dogs at a place called “I Dream of Weinie”. Spent the night in Effingham Illinois – four hours away from Waukesha. They woke up Saturday morning to find that a snowstorm had passed through. They tried the highway but soon turned back, spending the day in Effingham, playing Uno and eating inside a snow globe diner.    

Have a good weekend? After a busy Wednesday and Thursday, I was a slug on Friday Saturday and Sunday. Hardly did anything on Friday and Saturday except eat, sleep, watch football, and walk Winnie outside. Goose played in the leaves.

Sunday I went to Sunday School. Wasn’t feeling well. Left church and stopped by Dollar Tree, RaceTrac for a drink, and Wendys for a free frosty. The Wendys lady gave me two of the small frostys. I’d grabbed a frozen pizza at Dollar Tree, so that stuffed me for the afternoon. Napped through most of the Falcons game and was facetiming with Millie when they lost the game at the end.

I won a big bad $100 Kohls gift card in the Kohls Christmas Sweepstakes. Grand prize was $100,000.00. For those who say “you’re always winning” – remember, I spend 15-30 minutes a day entering sweepstakes – EVERY DAY – to win one or two things. A solid 7 days of my year. I consider it a hobby, a pastime. Usually I’m entering sweepstakes at night while plopped on the couch watching TV.

Always liked the old Far Side cartoon about the guy in Hell who whispered to his friend “I hate this place.” Reminds me of the long joke about the guy who’s just arrived in hell, who got to pick out what room he’d spend eternity in. “Coffee break is over – back on your heads!”
