How in the world does anybody ever get through? Because every time I called all I got was a busy signal or an automated voice telling me that my call could not be completed. I didn't win the Cirque Du Soleil tickets, Hornblower cruise dinner for two, Disneyland family four pack OR the Lady Gaga tickets (which I was planning to sell for profit). But I did win the two night stay at the Riviera Hotel in Palm Springs! On my way home from work yesterday I heard them ask for caller #9 again so I figured I'd give it another shot. I dialed and then pressed the speaker button since I don't have blue tooth. I can't hear if it's ringing or what so I raise it to my face and immediately drop it down when I see 5.0 to my right. The last thing I need is to get pulled over. It's just ringing, and ringing, and ringing and just as I am about to hang it up that DJ voice I hear on my radio is telling me that I won. He's like what are you calling in for? I stutter out "...Uh, the tickets." He laughs that I don't even know what I was calling for. I was just so distracted by the fact that I actually got through and trying to make sure the cop wasn't coming after me that I turned into a stuttering idiot.
I got home and said "Hey honey I won something else! Road trip time." I probably wouldn't have planned a trip there but since the hotel is free....I'm there! We probably won't be able to go until September because apparently he's made it his mission to travel as much as he can in 2011. Starting at the end of this month his business and pleasure trips are taking him to various cities, four different states, and out of the country over the course of the next six months. He's so booked we barely managed to schedule in our SF trip that we've been wanting to do since last year. I don't care when we go as long as we do. In the meantime it's nice to have another fun trip to look forward to.
In other news. I made my first meatloaf using the simplest recipe I could find. I'll probably make a few changes the next time I do it but it turned out pretty tasty and was very easy to make. I don't cook a lot but still, I never thought I'd see the day when I'd actually be doing it at all. Just trying to be a good wife. If that means cooking dinner and winning us weekend getaways then so be it.
