Spectacular Day

I know multiple posts in one day is excessive. BUT let me tell you about my day.

It started with me getting up a little earlier than normal because I needed to get to work early to make up for my lunch the day before. I woke up still feeling a little funny from the day before. So I called my doctor and they told me to drink lots of water and call if I felt worse later. Nice. On I go to work, same old deal. I keep feeling worse and by 4pm, I called my doctor and they finally ordered me some drugs. Don't you think I know when I'm sick?! Of course, I do and I know before I'm in horrible pain. Thank you very much. Yes, for all you doctors, I know more about me than you! :)

I know, get to the point - what a boring, sad day L. But now comes the fun part. I have been listening to the radio in hopes of winning tickets to a particular concert at the State Fair this year. J told me that our last name is pretty lucky but I had yet to experience this. I had previously asked Heather to go to this concert with me but when I heard about the contest I was even more excited. She's a master at winning radio contest!

I was sitting at my desk manning the phones as I watched everyone else leave work at 5, knowing I had a long half hour to go. At about 5:10pm, Hoss came on the radio and began telling us about the passes he was going to let some one win for the Miranda Lambert concert next week. I sat poised to dial. Then, the horrible words "but in order to win, you must answer this question correctly". Stink. What town did Miranda grow up in? Not the same as her birth place. Like I know. But I really love Google! So I easily find the answer and start dialing in hopes that I'm not too late. After about 5 tries, I'm ready to give up. I look at my cell phone just to make sure I'm even calling the right number and decide to call a couple more times.

On the second try, it starts ringing. Really? I can't believe it's ringing! And ringing and ringing, like 30 times, really. But once it's ringing some one has got to answer it eventually. So I'm sitting here answering my work phone with one ear and listening to the phone ring in the other, finally Hoss comes on the phone. I ask if there's been an answer yet and he asks for my guess. Of course, I give the correct answer and he asks for my name and tells me I just won! WHooo HOO!! I'm am so excited and yes I do confess to "cheating" by looking it up online. He then takes my info and tells me to look for info in the mail and come pick up my tickets at the station. A minute later, I hear my voice on the radio as he plays back my winning call. Did you know that's not live? I didn't.

I am now the proud winner of Miranda Lambert VIP passes! Heather and I will be eating Rib Ranch before the concert, enjoying a great view during the concert and riding all the fair rides for free with our VIP passes and super tickets. Hopefully we will remember to take pictures. :) So if you have ever tried to win something on the radio, keep trying!
