I have been sick off and on now for a little over a month, so I haven't had much mountain bike riding to write about. But fun things still happen.
Yesterday we had our Christmas party at work. It was a fun lunch with a lot of prizes/gifts to draw for. There were digital keychains, digital frames, poinsettas, gps systems and three more expensive gifts. A Wii, Xbox 360 and a 26 inch flat, lcd hd tv.
The lunch started with good food, and visiting with friends at work, and then it was time to draw for the prizes/gifts. One by one the gifts were given away. Eventually someone won the Xbox 360, then a little while later someone won the Wii, and then finally the last prize was up--the tv.
I watched gift after gift go, and when the tv came up, I knew it was up, either I won the tv, or went home with nothing but a full stomach. I sat and held the ticket tightly cupped in the palms of both hands, and waited for the number to be called. It was called, and I looked at my number and then asked what the number was again. Yes! It was my number!!!
Our family could definitely use a tv downstairs. Right now we have a little 21 inch tv, and although it is nice it will be great to have something a bit better. And although I do not believe in having a tv in the bedroom, it will be nice to have one I can put in our bedrooms when someone is sick.
Haven't taken it out of the box yet, I need to buy a mounting system.
