I'm going to be drinking a bunch of guinness in a few hours

Don't you just hate when the phone rings and the person hangs up on you right after you answer the phone.
I do
The only place I answer the phone is at work
I don't answer at home -- its never for me
Really its for me but it is not
its someone calling to sell me something
or
a wrong number my number is close to a rehab clinic
or.............
Family *shudder*
I've probably saved 50 to 60 dollars by not calling them in the last few months --
lot of good that did -- when I turn around and call Brazil for 150 dollars(yikes, again)
anyway
the phone thing got me off on the wrong thing it rang and then the person hung up. I don't mind telephone solicitors -- I actually had that job once for oh about 6 days -- that's all I could take of making the calls -- anyway the point of their calling me --its just a job for someone who probably would rather not be bugging me but that's what they get paid to do so they can take there kids to Disney, Busch-gardens, 6 flags etc.
Enough of the phone stuff
Did you ever win anything in those give away things from junk food and sodas
I did recently -- the Frito lay Superbowl promo
I won a hat (cheesy smile)
Its blue with the last Superbowl logo on the front and the Frito lay logo on the back
It came in the mail yesterday several months after I sent the winning ticket in to the prize headquarters
I won the cap because my ticket from the Frito lay product I bought for my Superbowl party had on it
If the AFC team returns a kick-off for a touch down you win a Super bowl hat.
They did and I won (Go Ravens! Just for the hat not because I like them, because I don't) Anyway
I gave the hat to a kid that lives on my street.
He was particularly thrilled with having a Superbowl hat and I was happy that I finally won something so we both had a good day.
Which brings me to what I really wanted to write about in the first place
Which is that I gave up sodas for Lent and now that lent is over I can have them again but I haven't had many -- maybe 6 since after Easter Sunday when Lent is over.
This all comes back to winning and losing again --
The soda I bought today Pepsi...
(I know a girl named that -- Pepsi --no kidding)
...is having a contest baseball related -- I looked under the cap and saw the all to familiar phrase
PLEASE PLAY AGAIN
Which means -- you're a loser
So I think I'm going to give up up sodas again -- Mainly so I won't have to suffer the humiliation of being called a loser by a plastic cap and so I can give up something more meaningful for Lent .
Like I don't know...........
Smoking maybe
Well I gotta go I have to call my lawyer friend -- To see when I can pick up the papers she is working on for me. Have a good weekend I'm going to be drinking a bunch of Guinness in a few hours So I'll be having a good weekend or at least a good Friday
No relationship to the Lent thing
