1 in 137,856!!!

I WON!! I WON A CONTEST!! NO, I WON A SWEEPSTAKES!!

i never win things. i never in my life thought i would win something like this! apparently, three friends and i get to go to nyc and get makeovers! we get to stay at the soho grand. it's at least $300 a night; four stars . . . we get to stay there for free!! everyone gets airfare! well, i probably won't if i'm in new jersey, but whateva!!

so, last night, i got a message on my phone from my brother saying that i have to call home immediately. okay, freak me out. no one from my house ever calls me unless something horrible has happened. (i think my phone inadequacies might come from the rest of my family . . . who knows!!) so, i call back and i'm preparing myself for the worst. no, they called to tell me i won the sweepstakes!! much relief and then much excitement! the thing is that everyone i want to go has to sign an affadavit and get it notorized and everything has to be sent in by monday. kinda hard for me to get that taken care of from new jersey. well, my brother said he wanted to come. okay, fine with me. haven't seen him in over a year! (he's been in iraq with the national guard) it's kinda funny to think that my brother wants to come get a makeover/facial/pedicure sponsored by midol. but whatever! now, two other people get to come. i don't have many friends that live in salina anymore. so, i call my buddy sara, a friend from high school (one of two friends that do live in salina) and tell her about it. she goes to my house late last night and decides to come. i'm very glad about that because sara probably wouldn't have ever had the opportunity to come visit me up here. i try to call my friend marie (the other friend in salina) but she is not to be found. big surprise. she kinda falls off the face of the earth sometimes. so, now i'm thinking i'll have to get someone from princeton to go. that would be fun. and then i think: hey, my friend megan likes to take random road trips, she might drive to salina to sign a thing. so i call her. yep, she's driving almost two hours today to meet my brother and sign the affadavit. this is probably the most random selection of people! my brother, my friend from high school, and my friend from college! i love it!

I SO WIN!!!!!!!!!!
