What Are The Odds??

Today Drew ended up with a doozy of a severe ear infection. I had to get him into the doctor right away. OK, let's be honest.... "right away" in pediatrician terms when you call at noon of the day you need your child to be seen means dinnertime. But I'm getting off track...

While Michael watched Nick, I took Drew to the doctor. As we pulled into the complex, the coffee hut there in the parking lot had a sign by the entrance that read (and I am not making this up...): "Free 16 oz. coffee to the driver of a white Blazer". What??!! I couldn't believe it! It's all I thought about the whole time we were in seeing the doctor. At first I thought, "No, I shouldn't do it; I just had a cup of coffee at home and another one will mean I'll be up really late." However, here is the thought that won out:

"What are the odds that out of every model of car, out of every color of car, they would choose my very car, and on a day when it was totally coincidence that I was anywhere near here? How can I NOT take advantage of that?!"

So once we got back in the car, I headed right for that coffee shack, worried of course that it would be too late and they would be closed. But they were open! I think the guy was just as surprised as I was when I drove up and asked him if the sign was serious. He said I was the only white Blazer that had come by today. And so off I drove with my free nonfat Vanilla Latte. (And no, it never occurred to me to order decaf; I was too excited to think of that.)

I also just got a lead tonight on a bride who is seeking a Wedding Consultant. I quickly emailed her and am anxiously awaiting a reply. If I get this contract, here is where it will be difficult to keep a straight face... the bride loves fairies, and the groom is in the Coast Guard. The bride wants a wedding that incorporates fairies & the Coast Guard together. Wow!

Well, I did call myself No Ordinary Affair, didn't I?.....
