I'm a winner and I know it

As the minutes count down to this weekend I grow ever more excited. Right now most of the provisions I'll be taking with are strewn out on my bed so I can easily assess whether or not I'm taking enough. Without a doubt I'll be fine but it's sure fun to preTEND to be organized once in a while. The nine of us will be taking off from Parkland sometime around 2:30pm tomorrow afternoon to start what's sure to be a grand weekend.

This morning the usual handful of emails were delivered to my inbox. Among them was a message with the subject "Congratulations from BargainFlix.com". I paused for a second before realizing I had won a DVD! The day before I was bargain-hunting for movies on DVD while I was at work. I came upon BargainFlix.com by chance for it was submerged within a list of sites known for harboring deals for DVDs. Upon first visiting the site I was attracted by a link to test my movie trivia and enter to win the movie in question. It was a simple, multiple-choice question about the dog's name in As Good As It Gets. One thing lead to another and, whammo!, in a randomly gererated drawing my name came up. So, as well as waiting for three other titles to be released that I pre-ordered, I'll have a fresh and free copy of As Good As It Gets in my possession.

I really can't argue because I have yet to pay full price for a DVD. Not bad considering that my collection is nearing 10.

That sounds like a scam to me. Whenever I get a "Congrats you won!!" box, I just ignore it. I'm glad it worked out for you though.
