woohoo!!

I am a winner!! Yes, it feels quite nice, thanks. Haha. So at work today (yes, I made it to work just fine, even with the snow) some of my coworkers had organized a benefit for our coworker, Gerri, who has cancer. She's a friendly little lady, always asking how I am whenever I see her. So her benefit was today and they had some good food, people watched some NCAA basketball and there was a raffle. I have no money until I get paid tomorrow, but I figured it would be okay to write out a check, if only for a couple bucks. They had plane tickets and hotel stays and Lake Minnetonka cruises up and stuff, but I didn't want to shell out $5/ticket for something I almost certainly wouldn't win, so I entered for opening day Twins tickets, Etta James tickets (just because Jenny's such a fan) and gas. I sort of figured I probably wouldn't win, just because of the odds, so it was exciting to win and gas is so practical and, at this broke point in my life, such blessing, it was nice. I donated 10 (ten!! what was I thinking?!?!) hours of babysitting. Two other girls I work with donated five between the two of them. My boss Matt, who has the cutest little girl ever, won their hours. Marklund, who does advertising for PSB, got my hours and apparently his kid or kids are relatively rowdy. I'm sort of disappointed, but that's how it goes. It's always good to branch out. Hopefully we get along.

On another note, I think I may have cancer. I probably don't, but I really don't know what to think and can't help but revert to freaking myself out. Here's the deal: last Sunday during Desperate Housewives, my head itched, so I itched it, but it hurt, so I felt around a little bit behind my ear and there was a bump there. I sort of figured it would go away, but after feeling around more, I found another bump. When I was combing my hair, I came across another and there's something going on at the base of my skull or something. The first one or two are sort of itchy, but more than anything, all of them are sore. I can feel them being there even when I haven't touched them in awhile. I can't bend my neck to the left properly. So I've been waiting for Brittany to check them out before I go into too much of a panic, but it's just been so long I can't help myself, but hopefully later tonight she can feel my head and tell me if it's something I should get checked out or if they'll just go away if I have some patience. Hopefully I don't have stage four brain cancer or something.

On a brighter note, my sister is coming up this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am SO excited. I hope we have fun. I just wish the weekend could be longer. I'm sure we will, but it'd be good if I had more things in mind to do, so she can experience some of the city if she wants. And tomorrow is St. Paddy's day, so we'll have to see if we celebrate at all or not. I'm down with whatever. Yay for sisterly bonding time!!
