THE TIDE HAS TURNED: MY LUCK IS BACK!
Sunday, September 21, 2008
As most of you know, this has been a rough year. It seems one thing after another goes wrong! I try to stay positive and I have my good days and my bad days. I have always considered myself to be a rather lucky person. I have rough patches, like anyone else, but overall things usually work out or, better than that, go really well!
Well, yesterday seemed to be my lucky day! I think my luck is finally changing! First I went to a walk-a-thon for Wilson's disease. Kiss 108 was there and they did contests for prizes. In one such contest they would play the theme music from a TV show. I recognized them all, but when they played one in particular I was one of only two people to raise my hand so I was selected. BEWITCHED, I said with confidence and some enthusiasm. YES! I was correct, but that wasn't enough to win the prize. That only gave you a chance to play MEMORY. They had cards stuck to a car (by magnet) each with a matching picture. You had to pick two cards and get a match to win the prize. I selected my first card and it was a WILD card, the only one! I didn't need to choose another to win the prize. I got a bag of goodies and a chance to win a $200 gas card. Granted, I did not win the gas card, but that wasn't the end to my luck!
After wandering around IKEA with Theresa later that afternoon, and a delicious dinner at Bertucci's, we decided to go see a movie. I went into the theater to check out what was playing and at what times while Theresa smoked outside. We decided on BURN AFTER READING and re-entered the theater to purchase our tickets. This time, as I entered the theater, I was approached by a young lady who asked, "Do you guys want some free passes?" I was initially suspicious. She explained that she had received the passes for purchases made at American Eagle that would expire the next day. She had 4 extras and didn't want them to go to waste. We took the passes!
As we were feeling pretty lucky to be seeing a movie for free (a $21 value), I exclaimed, "I won a prize and got free movie passes in one day? Somebody is definitely going to hire me soon! My luck has returned! YAY!" I really believe that!
I also highly recommend BURN AFTER READING! I think it is a movie you love or hate, as Theresa and I LOVED it, but the people in the theater that didn't like it had some strong opinions as they were leaving the theater. I think it was brilliant! Hope you are all well and having some luck of your own!
Hugs, Christine
