My Mom Says I'm a Winner

Last night my husband and I braved snowy and extremely icy roads to go to my work Christmas party. Of course I wondered if it was all worth it as we sat going 5 mph on the freeway and it took 50 minutes to get to our destination when it should have been 20. I think I could actually feel my arteries hardening from the stress of being scared we were going to hit or be hit. lol (We are definitely going to have to move to Texas before next winter!)

Luckily, it all turned out to be worth it. I got to sit with my new friend S and her 5-month-old baby boy, who was an absolute angel. Up until I held her little guy, she was really good birth control for me. Now that I've snugged her little baby boy, I think she is full of it and I'm ready for my very own spitting up, cooing, warm little bundle.

At the end of the evening they had a drawing for a bunch of prizes the company bought. Neither S nor I won anything at the party last year, and so we didn't get our hopes up this year. We sat together and said, "We're losers. We won't win anything. You should come to my office and each chocolate tomorrow and we'll be losers together." A split second later, S won a 1 GB iPod Shuffle! I teased her and said, "I guess I'll have to eat chocolate by my loser self." A split second later I also won a 1 GB iPod shuffle! We both laughed that we not only both won, but we won the same thing! So today we are going to eat chocolate in my office and be winners together.

Not only did we win together, but she was sweet enough to offer to trade me the green one I won for the purple one she won because purple is my favorite color. I think I've found my new best friend. :)
