Good News and Bad News

Good morning everyone it has been a bit of a rough week in our household. We have all been sick for way too long and it finally hit me harder than I would have liked. So I sit here typing while I stop here and there to sneeze and wipe my nose.
On to some news...
I got a wonderful email Monday morning

I won the lottery for Creative Escape 2010. They picked my name so I can register myself and a friend. The bad news is we can't afford for me to go this year. Nothing like going form high to low in less than a second. My poor (no pun intended) husband looked so sad when he broke the news to me. Oh well maybe next week I'll be more lucky? So as I wrote the last sentence a spider just crawled over my computer and just about onto my hand. EEEEEKKKKK! I though the computer on the floor and tried to catch it but I don't know where it went. Yuck.
Anyways, no creative escape for me. I am sad but family comes first and if hubby doesn't think we can afford than I accept that. It seems I've been on a bit of a winning streak lately. I even one some Hambly goodies. I can't wait until our mail lady drops that off.
I am off to my first full day crop this weekend. 14 hours of no kids and husband makes me a little nervous but I think I need it. It's a good thing it's only 15 min from our house : )
What is everyone else up to this lovely weekend?
