I don't usually win anything but I won the doorprize at a dinner we went to last May. The doorprize was a 1 night stay at a local fancy hotel and a 50.00 gift card to 1 of the 3 restaurants that the hotel owns. These were going to expire the end of June 2008. We've had these for a year. I lost them once and then recently I relocated them and it was like I was winning them all over again. Anyways..after I won last year...life got real crazy.
Now that life has calmed down a bit...we took the opportunity to use the doorprize. My mom came and spent the night this past Friday. She looked exhausted before we even left. I was a little worried that it was going to be too much but everything went fine.
It was nice to relax and get away but I wasn't relaxed 100%..... I imagined all the chaos that could be happening at home with Grandma. Chaos wasn't happening but I still wasn't totally relaxed.
It was very nice to be able to talk to Chad without interruptions.
We got to dress all fancy( fancy for me) and walk downstairs to the hotel restaurant. After dinner, we went back upstairs and changed back into are non-fancy clothes so we could walk across the street to the shopping center.
(Another pointless story wink wink)
We are big time piddlers (if that's even a word). We just like to walk around and piddle. It's funny because my mom uses the term piddle to mean -to pee-. She says, "Come on Bailey-let's go outside and piddle." Bailey being her dog. Anyways...we use the term piddle as -wondering about with no real plan in mind-whatever happens happens-
We piddled in Barnes and Noble for awhile and then walked over to the theater to see what was playing but nothing good was so we walked over to some more stores----- the stores were closing so our piddling came to an end. so sad!
We were disappointed that we couldn't go to the hotel pool b/c it closed at 8pm.
The hotel was great. I got to wear a fancy robe and sleep on fancy sheets.
They even delivered a New York Times in the morning....not the local paper.
There was a big breakfast buffet included in our stay too.
I even thought the hotel was giving me a free gift. They knocked on the door and said 'ROOM SERVICE" and I wondered 'hmmmm why are they coming here for room service-we didn't order anything?.... '
I opened the door and the guy handed me a present and said "SURPRISE!"
I said, "thank you" and shut the door. I ran with the gift down the hall to Chad very giggly thinking that 'not only are we staying here for free----the hotel is giving us a free gift.'
WHOO HOO!!!
It was not a free gift.....it was a surprise gift from Chad. Double WHO HOO!!
He brought it by the hotel earlier in the day so room service could bring it to me.
It was a new camera...can you even believe it?
The card said "Just because Love Chad"
AWWWWWWWWW!!
