I was driving to meet david after my whole glucose test today at the hospital when a local radio station announced they were giving away a prize package. I didn’t really hear what all it contained except “FREE FOOD at HAYWARD’S BARBECUE”. Of course, me being the starving pregnant woman i am, i made up my mind to call in and win that darn food.

It worked. The phone rang about 5 times then a lovely lady picked up and said “you’re caller 12!” I replied, “NO WAY??!!”. She went on to tell me that i had won free food at Hayward’s and tickets to the Voodoo Lounge at Harrah’s Casino in Kansas City to see some band called “Vertigo” play.

If my sister is reading this, she won’t be surprised. In fact, it’s a standing joke in my family that i am always winning stuff! It has been a while though, so i was due for something.

This really made my day especially after having been in hospital all day.

By the way, here is a partial list of items i can think of off the top of my head that i’ve won in the past:

• Janet Jackson concert tickets for her San Antonio stop (i gave these to my sister since i wasn’t going to be able to go)
• Trek mountain bike from The Limited store in Austin, TX (i couldn’t BELIEVE i had won a BIKE!!)
• Movie tickets (too many to remember titles)
• Hannibal and Silence of the Lamb movies on VHS
• Passes to local events (in Austin)
