Lessons from the weekend

This is going to be a bunch of bullet points. I apologize in advance.

1. In a normal silent ticket auction, when one puts in 1 ticket for an item, your chances of winning the item are 1 in however many. Apparently when I put in 1 ticket, it means I win, much to the dismay of the Young'un. However, she doesn't know she's getting it for Christmas anyway.
2. Even though I think the snow looks pretty on the ground, this does not mean I want it on the roads when I drive. Spring can come soon and take the cold with it as well.
3. I'm really, really sick of my ear being messed up. I've never had an ear infection for this long.
4. Christmas is in less than 2 weeks. I'm only half done with my shopping. I'm screwed.
5. Speaking of Christmas, the baking begins tonight. Hello holiday pounds, goodbye waist.
