contest
Contrary to popular belief, the happiest day of your life will not be when you get married or when you have your first child. The happiest day of your life will be when you win a DVD player from a grocery store... IF you're lucky enough. And I would know because this is what happened to me today.

Having spent the last three days moving and cleaning, I didn't really have time to run to the grocery store to pick up some milk. I was finally able to do so today so I went up to the Dominick's on Clybourn. Unbeknownst to me, they were having a grand re-opening celebration... complete with free samples, every employee to ever exist working there, and even a DVD player give-away. So I run in to get some milk (skim for drinking and 2% for pie-making) and some yogurt and while the guy's ringing me out, the register makes this odd noise. He finishes printing my receipt and then tells me that I may have won a DVD player. I had to go over to customer service to make sure. I do that, answer a few questions and then receive my DVD player.

The funniest part of it all is that I don't even need a DVD player. But you better believe I accepted it. And still, it was undoubtedly the best day of my entire life. Nothing can top winning a contest that you didn't even know was taking place. And if something can, I'll be waiting for it to happen. You hear me, life? I'm waiting.
