Marlboro Sweepstakes – Indy 500
Saturday, February 24th, 2007
I received the Marlboro sweepstakes entry to win a 4-day, 3-night VIP trip to the Indy 500 race during the Memorial weekend in May. Again, this sweepstakes is from Phillip Morris. I was debating if I should sign up for this sweepstakes. DB said I should go ahead and sign up for it.
Even though I quit smoking, I didn’t unsubscribe from Phillip Morris’ website. Why? Maybe I will go back to smoking again and receive coupons from PM for Marlboro Lights. I actually did light up again last year, but I quit two weeks ago. Again, I quit because DB told me had cravings for booze. SHIT!! Here I am picked up a cigi whenever I feel like having one, and he can’t crack a beer when he wants to have a brewsky. Made up my mind pretty much right away and cut down my smokes within a week and the following week, I completely snuffed out the last one and had not had one since. I still have a whole carton in the Monte and I have not touch them.
I signed up for the entry yesterday while I was at work. I was thinking what the heck. I can bring along DB on the 4-day, 3-night trip to Indianapolis for the ultimate racing experience which includes VIP suite tickets, garage and infield passes, Hot Lap ride on the speedway, airfare, hotel, meals and more which I assume gifts again!!! YES, YES!!!
I would prefer NASCAR over Formula One racing, however, beggars can’t be choosers. Hopefully, by March 30th, I will see the FedEx truck again.
Snow and sleet
Saturday, February 24th, 2007
The meteorologists said the metro will get 4 – 10 inches of snow by Sunday. The snow started last night. It was more like a dusting. Got up this morning and surprised, not even an inch. Southeast of MN like Winona had about a foot. Looked out the window and what I really saw was sleet and gail force wind.
DB and I went to Cubs for our weekly groceries and the store was packed. I am sure folks want to get their groceries in before the roads got bad. I’m glad DB drove. The roads were slippery from the sleet and snow. DB enjoyed the slid and slide and at times he did it on purpose.
Came home and the boys and I went for our walk. It was not too bad out there, a little slippery in spots. When we got home, time for the boys’ bath. Do they hate baths. Got them in one at a time and their normal routine after their baths – clean their ears. Now they smell like a pharmacy and the smell of wet dogs.
