“I’m the opposite of Winston Churchill. Always, always, always give up.” — K-Lo

1. Well, I didn’t win the lottery this week. Of course, this isn’t surprising considering my luck AND the fact that I didn’t play it. But still – it’s disappointing nonetheless.

2. We’re still anxiously waiting for the results of Ben’s DNA results from ancestry.com It doesn’t help the waiting to read articles like this:

However, what we don’t consider is the fact we may unearth skeletons our family has been trying to keep hidden for generations.

This man IS from New Hampshire like Ben’s family. Sooooooo…

That’s right. Just the beginning of the Christmas season and I’m already getting mean. It’s going to be a rough one this year.
