Lucky me

I have to write this very quickly, otherwise i will fall asleep. I just wanted to report on my winnings today! No, I didn't turn in my new scratch-off and try again. But, I did get a telephone call from Borders this morning informing me that I was one of three educator winners of a gift bag. I hustled on down to Borders so I could pick out the best one. They were all really nice. The bag is lovely, and it was filled with some very useful thngs. Some were good for the library, and others I gave to my assistant, one of my favorite English teachers, and a couple I kept for myself. So, I am a winner! Things are looking up for a comfortable retirement! Scratch-off here I come . . .
