Prizes...

I know I've already posted today, but wanted to quickly tell about something kind of funny, kind of fun. A while ago, I received an email newsletter about an upcoming book by Terry Brooks. I noticed a small note off to the side that said you could enter to win one of 30 advance copies of the book to give a review to the publisher about. I entered it. I forwarded the newsletter to Mom and Stacey, who also read the books (this is the second in a series...of a series...if that makes any sense at all). Mom told me to enter it for her, but I couldn't because of the way you entered it. You sent an email. She went ahead and entered it. Today she received the book in the mail with a letter saying she was one of the 30 winners. (But she is being nice and letting me read it first.)

I just find that funny because last year I entered her in a contest to win 4 VIP tickets to the Real Salt Lake/Real Madrid soccer game. And she won those (took me along to that one, too...not that I gave her a choice with that one). So she's winning the contests that I tell her about or enter her for. Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket for her.

Can she win me a trip to Europe?

Actually, she once won a trip to Europe. It was an aol instant win thing and it told her she won. Then her computer froze up and she had to restart it so she couldn't claim it. It was very sad.
