You can't be a winner if you don't want the dinner
Matt came home from work yesterday and informs me that he "won."
Me: "Really? What did you win?"
Matt: "I am not sure. I was listening to the radio and I flipped stations and I just heard that I needed to be the third caller to win so I dialed and the DJ told me I was the third caller and that I won--- and he seemed very excited for me so it must be something pretty good."
Me: "You didn't ask what you had won?"
Matt: "No. I was kind of embarrassed to tell him that I had not been actually listening to his radio program. He said that I can stop by the radio station tomorrow and pick up my tickets. So I guess I won tickets."
Tickets??? Last night I dreamed that we won a trip to Acapulco (for real).
This morning a disappointed Matt calls me.
Matt: "I won two Melissa Etheridge tickets."
Me: "Really? Is she playing in Acapulco? "
Oh well. At least it wasn't REM tickets. That would have been worse (in Matt's opinion).
If you live in the Denver area and want tickets to go see Melissa Etheridge on August 17th, drop me a line.

ok, he totally wasted his winner karma. meaning he can't win the lottery or a trip now. maybe in a year or so.
P&K, I was afraid of that: (

Awww, poor guy. A bunch of us were entered in a draw at our local station this past week. The contest lasted 2 months and when you heard the jet you had to call in to be eligible for a trip for 2 to Panama. So on Monday morning we all listened to hear the winner announced...I was driving to work when they announced it...Guess what!!! It was the girl that I work with everyday, she sits beside me. I was so happy for her.
That cracks me up! Ha! I love that he just called because he knew he was going to win something. I would've done the same thing. BTW, I often think of your post mentioning the socks in a ziploc bag. Ha! It makes me smile every time.
free stuff usually comes with a price.
