Britain's Got Talent, and Look what I won!

Wow, I have just watched the most amazing video on YouTube and I wanted to share it all with you. I don't watch Britains Got Talent, and I don't even watch American Idol, but I happened across this today. You'll see a dowdy, somewhat unattractive and prim unemployed middle age woman get up on stage and sing "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables, and before the song is over, what you see on that stage seems to become an angel! Her performance brought tears to my eyes and sent chills up my spine. You have to watch the judges' reactions to her performance, especially Simon's. I still don't know how to download YouTube videos onto my blog, and embedding was disabled for this one anyhow. Click on the link if you want to be totally blown away!

Last Tuesday I went to the Business and Industry Show in the county where I used to live. Area businesses set up booths and have free gifts and samples, and many of them have drawings for prizes. I have been to these before and never won anything, but have walked away with all kinds of pencils and pens, magnets, candy, and brochures.

Well this year I actually won something! I had my choice of several baskets of spa products: gels, lotions, soaps, a loofah; or I could choose the basket full of coffee and teas. I imagine I am like most women and have beauty products sitting around in boxes that I still haven't got around to using, but I knew for sure that I would drink the tea and coffee! Also, I thought the basket was prettier. It was all tied up so pretty in cellophane!

Here it is without the wrapping. I love tea and the peach tea is awesome. I also love Millstone coffee and let me tell you, the cinnamon hazelnut is great!

I just love winning thing! This brings me to my next news, Justine at Justine's Froggy Bloggy is having a giveaway in honor of her 200th post. Justine has the funniest blog, and her sister started blogging a few months ago too. Be sure to check it out and enter her giveaway!

That's all for today, except that I am remaining ever vigilant to my dog's whereabouts. He seems to be having a lower digestive system "problem" which lingers from yesterday. I am having to carefully watch every step as my carpet is dark brown. UGH! I have slippers and a pair of jeans in the washer right now due to a particularly gross misstep. Ewww! He has been funny about going out because it was cold and pouring rain yesterday and it's still wet today.

I can tell that the rest of the day is going to be fun! NOT! lol
