So Exciting!

It all started when I decided to get up early and start the days activities, coffee to start, and I fiddled with the radio in the kitchen.
Red Symonds is on the beakfast slot on ABC, 774, he was announcing give away tickets to the "Countdown spectacular"

I believe they are about $100.00 a ticket!!!
Yep, I bloody won!, can you believe it???
But get this, its scary! I was on hold, after my shower and suddenly, I was put through to Red!!!!!
Previously he was on about "channeling" dead Australian Rock Stars ,that had appeared on Countdown.
I took this to mean, I was to channel a rock star to increase my chances of winning.
Sitting on the bed with only a towel, I woke john, who had no idea what was happening,
"John what shall I say?"
"Who am I going to channel", " Bon scott?"
"What am I going to say?"
John suggested "My pants are still too tight!"
Well I went with that, Red laughed and said he would give me 9.5 out of 10!!!!
How about that?
anyway I believe I did quite alot of giggling and cant recall much of what was said, Red put me back to the producers and, Woo hoo, I've not only got two tickets for tonight's show but a CD , DVD and a book!!!
John and I have not been out for years and its going to be such a fun night I just cant believe it!
