Hey all, I am so excited! I qualified last week for a radio contest for a trip for two to Mazatlan. They are drawing at around 8 AM my time and there are 25 names in the draw. I would not be able to go away this year other wise and really wanted to as I am turning 30. Please keep your fingers crossed for me! ---

OK, fingers crossed, but I expect a postcard for my efforts! 😃 Good luck!! ---

I was listening to the radio this morning at 8.00am. Do you want me to tell you whether or not you won? 🙂 ---

Cool - the ability to tell the future :eek: I was a little bummed though, when I told my hubby he said, “As long as it’s not over my hockey playoffs.” I said, “If you can’t go, I am sure I can find someone to take the trip with me.” ---

I will use my psychic powers to both guarantee that you win, and thet your husband’s team makes the playoffs if you take me. No, really I will. 😉 ---

Nope. Rather than being woken up by a phone call telling me I won a trip for two to Mazatlan, I woke up to my three year old who had diarrhea- “Mommy, I pooped in my pajamas.” Ahh well. ---

Bummer. I’d go into that annoying “when life gives you lemons…” shtick, but considering what life gave you this morning, let’s not go there. ---

I guess a preschooler with diarrhea was the runner-up prize. 😃 ---

WHOO-HOO I just found out my name stays in for the rest of the contest, so I still have a few more trips to try for. So keep your fingers crossed from here on out Mr Bus Guy! ---
