I’m a winner, just not a big one.
I attended “XYZ Corp’s†“Holiday Party†last night at Sweetwater Brewing. After eating vegetarian food for dinner and as I was consuming free beer I heard my raffle number get called. As I rarely win raffles I was thrilled, especially as I started thinking about choosing one of the three sets of Apple AirPods that were sitting on the prize table — and then I was handed a $25 Starbucks gift card as my prize. Dangen! Don’t get me wrong, I am happy to spend $25 at Starbucks, but I really wanted those AirPods as I am too frugal to buy them.
Barb, I made this Acorn Squash Soup last night. The recipe didn’t go as planned, but I managed to make alterations and wound up with a delicious soup.
Sorry to be a Luddite, but what is an Airpod?
HEAT! Wonderful heat! (Sung to the tune of “Food, Glorious food”). I’m sure the dogs are happy. I still have 3 blankets on the bed… something about the weight is so comfortable.
I saw the derailed train cars had been removed from the tracks, but there were still 2 small service vehicles on the tracks. They were single tracking from CPK to ATL, which was causing a delay. They should be back to normal soon.
Debbie sent GLORIOUS pictures from today’s hunt. Apparently we’re also moving to Ireland.
Happy Friday!

Steve – moving to Ireland – won’t your Scottish friends be mad at you if you do that?
I love having the weight of an extra blanket on the bed – one of the reasons we don’t have the thermostat in the house set all that high.
AirPods are Apple’s wireless earplugs. Everyone I know who has them loves them, but they retail for $149.
I don’t understand how they don’t fall out and get lost. People say they don’t, but I’m sure that would happen to me somehow… 🙄 And of course I’m not going to spend $149 on them either…
I have some that came with my phone, but have never used them.
and – I’m with Bonnie – I know I would lose them – so they are still in the box.
WordPress is taking the day off from notifying me about your comments. Poop.
Just realized that I have an Amazon delivery that I need to pick up today. I guess I’ll be getting some bonus exercise. Also, I have an order that was “delivered†to them but still not available for pickup; guess I’ll be having a conversation with an employee today too.
Last night I also realized that my reminder to pay my quarterly auto insurance bill had gone missing. Good thing my payment was not due until 1/22. 😅
I got an email with my updated car insurance cards from USAA, but never got an email saying when the payment is due. So, I just paid it (with my AmEx, so I get my FF miles and I really don’t have to pay it until next month.
Nice evening celebrating a friend’s birthday with a few gals at Barcelona in Inman Park. My first time there. It was fine, but it’s no Midway Pub ðŸ˜. Going to my first non-campout SoCo tonight! Busted’s Christmas tree burning! Come on out you guys! It’s in my area, but you can do it! 🙌🻠Come to Black Sheep Sunday too at Arabia Mountain… you’ll get to see my glory mole for my 20th jubilee 😉😂.
And you’ll get to visit Barcelona again on Monday! With me! and others
Get all of your Black Sheep deets at Black Sheep Hash, that cool URL that redirects you to the BS website.
I was happy to see they had a $7 red wine FTW 🙌ðŸ»ðŸ˜
I hope Monday’s dinner outing is fun, as I’ll be missing the opportunity for my inaugural Clermont Lounge visit (AMH4)…
According to my hash spreadsheet, tonight’s SoCo will be my 69th hash since starting this crazy ride almost exactly 11 months ago. 😉
Sounds like someone has a Rule 6 violation coming her way tonight. NERD! 🤓
🤣🤣🤣
Bonnie, you already have more BS’s than me, though that’s not really hard to do.
Those Airpods are cheap compared to what I use. Bose “Hearphones”.
There is a chance we will come to Black Sheep, Allan is working 2 days in a row, but hopefully he will get some sleep Saturday night so he doesn’t have to sleep all day Sunday.
Hash happy hour is in Dunwoody – that will be as much hashing as I can handle tonight.
I don’t know if this is an incentive, but GM and I both have a jubilee on Sunday so we’ll probably be bare-assed on the ice for that. 😮🥶🙃🙂
Happy Friday! ðŸºðŸ»ðŸ¥‚ðŸ·ðŸ¥ƒðŸ¸ðŸ¹ðŸ¾

The age cut off was 40 years old! Children! Mere children.
So, was looking thru my AmEx bill to find a charge, figured out the hotel we stayed at for the Hyox party charged me $327.20. hotel was to be paid for by Hyox. (PLUS – that room was not a $300 hotel room) I really need to look thru that bill more closely every month. Anyway -finally got the credit from the hotel.
I have a bad habit of not being thorough with my bills. When they “seem high†as they always seem these days, I do a rudimentary check for unknown charges.
Just got back from Amazon store. My replacement toothbrush heads, which Amazon claimed were “delivered†to their store were declared “missing†by the employee. Now I have to try and deal with getting a refund or replacement shipping.
If they were “missing†from your front porch, OK. But if they are missing from THE AMAZON STORE, I think Amazon should take care of it…
The employee didn’t seem very interested in doing anything more than telling me that I needed to contact customer support.
In my experience Amazon has gotten “too big to care.”
