10 Things-January

10 GOOD Things That happened for me last month.....

1) It rained like a dog for a couple of days and the roof didn't leak.

2)It snowed some flurries but didn't stick and make a big honking mess to drive in.

3) I got in a bit of overtime at work and that meant having a bit of extra money instead of just squeaking by.

4) We were offered a better car and got rid of the deathtrap we had.

5) I lost a few pounds.

6)I got lots of massages from my hubby.

7)I got to read a great new(new to me, anyway) vampire book series.

8)I started writing a new book- now I have 4 in the works and I switch off working on them when I get writers block for any given one.

9)I went to the salon and had a shampoo, cut and style-something I very RARELY do for myself- and it only cost me 15 dollars!!! How great is that??(But then- I only had my hair trimmed an inch so there wasn't too much actual CUTTING involved.) ;-)

10) My hubby had a birthday AND got his drivers permit so He drives most of the time now.

All in all- I'd say it was an AWESOME month!!!!!!

A cute little something I found.........I may try a couple of these myself.

Top 10 Answering Machine Messages

Number 10
My wife and I can't come to the phone right now, but if you'll leave your name and number, we'll get back to you as soon as we're finished.

Number 9
Hello, you are talking to a machine. I am capable of receiving messages. My owners do not need siding, windows or a hot tub, and their carpets are clean. They give to charity at the office and don't need their picture taken. If you're still with me, leave your name and home phone number and they will get back to you.

Number 8
This is not an answering machine - this is a telepathic thought-recording device. After the tone, think about your name, your number, and your reason for calling... and I'll think about returning your call.

Number 7
Hi! John's answering machine is broken. This is his refrigerator. Please speak very slowly, and I'll stick your message to myself with one of these magnets.

Number 6
Hi. This is John: If you are the phone company, I already sent the money. If you are my parents, please send money. If you are my bank, you didn't lend me enough money. If you are my friends, you owe me money. If you are a female, don't worry, I have LOTS of money.

Number 5
A is for academics, B is for beer. One of those reasons is why we're not here. So, leave a message.

Number 4
Hello! If you leave a message, I'll call you soon. If you leave a "sexy" message, I'll call sooner.

Number 3
Hi. Now YOU say something.

Number 2
Hi. I'm probably home, I'm just avoiding someone I don't like. Leave me a message, and if I don't call back, it's you.

And the Number 1 Answering Machine Message...
Hello, you've reached Angela and Seal. We can't pick up the phone right now, because we're doing something we really enjoy. Angela likes doing it up and down, with her socks on and I like doing it left to right... real slowly. So leave a message, and when we're done brushing our teeth, we'll call you back.
