Happy New Year

Happy New Year, 2011!

So...

My darling husband arrived home today with a surprise!

Yay for ME!

My overactive imagination kicked in...

A Tall Starbucks with EXTRA Caffeine!

A NEW car!

A prepared meal!

A ____ (something I have always wanted)!

{It's a fill-in-the-blank

because I cannot recall at the moment

something specific that I have always wanted,

except for tickets to Oprah

or

to sing back-up (lip-sync anyhow)

for Jimmy Buffett

or...}

Except...

it turned out not to be so much of a Yay

As an UGH, Nay!

In my garage sat a

Hopper

and

40 BAGS of INSULATION

That's right folks,

my big surprise!

I got to spend the next three hours

shoving insulation

into a hopper.

Happy insulatin' New Year!
