And the winner is....

ME!!! Let me back up and start from the beginning....I heard a couple of weeks ago about this contest that Sunny 101.5 and the CW 25 had partnered up together to do a contest offering a day at the spa for a person and up to 10 guests. The only thing was that you had to do was watch Friends during the 7:00 hour and then answer a trivia question about that night's show and e-mail to the tv station. So for a week straight I e-mailed my daily answer, I think I even forgot a day.

Now fast forward to Tuesday (which was the day from hell at school), I get home and there is a message on my machine telling me that she hoped that I got my flier in the mail because I was one qualifer for the contest and the drawing was being held this Thursday. What!???!!! I didn't receive anything in the mail and then I started to wonder did I delete it when I emptied my e-mail trash or did I actually throw away a very important piece of mail! Frantically I call back the person and get an answering machine. So I left all of the vital information. Lucky enough for me the person sent me an email yesterday morning explaining what I needed to do. I had to show up at the broadcast between 4 and 6 PM and I would need to be present to win. There was also the chance to win prizes before the final drawing.

So today I breeze out of Plymouth at 3:15 only to make it up past the mall area into Granger at a place called Wine Down. This is a very posh kind of place and not one I would go to because I am not a wine drinker. So I arrive around 4 and tell the main person that I was there and then I proceed to grade my stack of papers. The tv person goes around and has everyone enter for the prizes before the main prize. The first name they draw out of the fish bowl is me! I won a $25 gift certificate to the wine place. I thought okay that is my winning streak for the day. I might as well finish grading these papers and then go home because there is no way in heck I would win a second time.

Needless to say when the drawing happened at 5:30, and guess whose name gets called a second time from the other 24 names in the fish bowl...ME!!!!!!!!!!!! I was estactic!!!! I now have in my possession a $1500 Spa Retreat package for me and up to 10 friends!! How awesome is that! I can select the day and we will have lunch catered in!! Yummy!!

The best part is that I can plan any day that I would like. So I am thinking about June. It would be a great relief to have the school year over and a great way to kick off the summer season!

My sisters have already told me that I am taking them!

OH MY GOSH!!! I would have just about died!!! I feel like jumping up and down for you right now except Joe is sick and laying next to me in bed and would seriously think I was crazy if I just started jumping on the bed. I think you are on a lucky streak and should head to the casino!!!!

The problem is that I have been for the last two Saturdays and always walk away with nothing. It is always my parents and Laura that do. I am however good at these contest thingys :D
