I'm A Winner!

The past 24 hours have been pretty good ones for me. Plumber came and fixed the hose bib. Good thing I called him, because that f'er was soldered on, so there was no way in hell I could have gotten it off without breaking something. A tad bit expensive, but it is done, and done right, with a 2 year warranty on parts and labor. Plus he checked the water pressure, and it is fine.

Last night I went to the pub for karaoke. The last 16 weeks, on Wednesdays, there has been what they call "Customer Appreciation Night" and if you sing at least one song, your name goes into a drawing held at midnight. If you are drawn, you get an 8-pack of karaoke discs that has, what I call, a generic mixture of songs over several genres. Plus, you get to enter the Final contest (which is next week) to have a chance to win a $400 home karaoke system. I know, I know, big whoop unless you like karaoke. Either way, out of the past 16 weeks, I had already won once, but took the honors again last night. So, now there are only 15 entrants possible for the Finals. You have to attend that night, sing at least 1 song, and be present to win, so it helps that I knocked out a possible entry. Now to hope like hell I get drawn 2 weeks in a row....

The Daughter came up from college last night. She had an orthodontist appointment early this morning, and is headed back down for her class this afternoon. After her appointment, we went to Dennys and had breakfast. It was good to sit down and talk about things.... considering when she lived at home, we had a hard time getting along. I had a wonderful time over breakfast, and look forward to next month. She has another appointment then, and we will probably end up doing breakfast again. Some good Daughter/Daddy time.

Now you know why the past 24 hours has been good.
