Leap Day

February 29, 2012
Today only comes around once every four years. Leap Day. And it must be an unusual day because I won something. Two things actually.

At the Safe Kids Fair, Pearl won an entertainment package from Larry H. Miller. Since she isn't 21, I ended up winning! Yeah for moms! I sort of rolled my eyes when the guy said he didn't have the actual prize and that he had to get my address and name to send me whatever it was they had back at the office. I figured a potentially free date night with my husband was worth the junk mail that will inevitably come now trying to get us to buy a new car or something like that.

Well, it was worth it. I got an envelope in the mailbox filled with 10 movie tickets, 2 food vouchers at the movie theater, and a voucher for two Jazz tickets.

Then, I got a phone call from Global Travel Network saying I'd won a free trip to one of three destinations. They babbled on and on about which trip I'd want... all sound tempting... but I admit, as good as it sounds to win a "free" trip somewhere I'm totally skeptical. I asked for them to send me some info to review before deciding but it was a ho and hum ordeal about how they couldn't do that until I picked the destination I was interested in, blah blah blah. And then I had to come listen to some schpill too.

I don't know, Leap Day or not, two free things in one day sounds almost too good to be true.
