Another way cool surprise win! I won another electric guitar! This one is a Copley. I couldn’t believe it! Two guitars in 10 months! This one’s not worth as much as the other at $220, but it’s signed by country singer Neal McCoy. I’m not familiar with him, but Tom’s going to decide which guitar he wants to keep so we can sell the other one. He thinks he may keep this one because the other one’s worth way more. He says his guitar fanatic of a coworker is really going to be envious now!

I surprised him with it. FedEx came at 2:00 with it and I hid all the packing material in the bedroom. Then I put the guitar by his computer. When he came home and went to turn on the computer, he asked, “What’s my guitar doing out?” That was when he realized it was a different color!

Although I have no desire for musical instruments these days, it’s a great feeling to get back at least some of what the queen made us lose by not helping us in our time of need, seeing that we had to sell my two acoustics. It would’ve been cool if this one had been an acoustic since we already have an electric and even cooler if I could win a trombone because that’s Tom’s favorite instrument.

We just don’t know when or where we’re going to sell things because we don’t know how long we’ll be in this damn state. I don’t know what to think of my vibes anymore or even what my vibes are. I’m just not as psychic up here as I was down in Arizona. Just maybe we will leave the state at the end of this year. Who knows? I can’t imagine God letting me out of here after just two winters, but he prefers me to be where it’s noisiest, so why not? I just don’t think we could get the money together before the year’s out.

Tom says the potential to make a fortune at work is still there, but it’s not looking at all promising. It’s just too hard to motivate people who don’t need money, and it’s not like it’s something he can do on his own. So without their cooperation, there’s just no way.

Since the snow is finally all gone, I’m sure we’ll get more dumped on us soon.
