So I had an incredibly busy weekend - just arrive back from a trip early Sunday morning. So Sunday is crazy - laundry, making sure the kids have done their home work, grocery store run, etc. I get up a little late this morning and getting kids ready for school and the phone rings - I think who the h*ck would be calling at 7:25am?
I pick up the phone - it was from a radio station. I was told I am a finalist for Hannah Montana tickets and to please hold. Now it seems kind of a no big deal thing, but these tickets sell for more than any other show I have heard of. I know I had filed in a form on the internet to try to win these for my daughter. The DJ gets on the phone and tells me that I am the grand prize winner and not only did I win the tickets, but I get to meet Hannah Montana and Jonish Brothers.
I was told that this was the biggest contest they had. More than 7,400 people tried to win - it was even bigger than their $25,000 shopping spree give away. I guess I beat the odds.
I am now officially the coolest mom in the world!
Well we've known you're the coolest mom for years. Glad it's official now. Big congratulations!
Wow! Congratulations, Linkat.
[size=7]Quick, someone tell me who Hannah Montana is![/size]
Whoa!!
Your kids are going to MEET her? Daaaaaamn....
JPB, you dodged that bullet by a few years.
Hannah Montana is the alter ego of Miley something who is the alter ego of Miley Cyrus who is the daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus who no longer has a mullet.
Following?
Oh and let me add, you certainly have been due for a dose of good news!!

Ditto!
Thanks for the spin, soz. I think I'm glad I dodged that one.
I probably sounded like an a$$ on the radio too. I always thought I would be so cool if I was on the radio - but I kept saying You're kidding me! and stupid crap like that.
Yes they get to meet her - how cool is that?
Maybe Billy Ray will be there too! Supposedly he travels with to keep a close watch on her.
Linkat--
Merry, Merry Monday.
And many, many more of the same. You've earned good fortune.

Double ditto. Have a great time. (Take earplugs.)
'Bout damn time something good came your way.
Thanks all - I'm taking this as an omen for good things to come!

My, oh, Miley
I need to raise another generation because I had to look up who the hell Hannah Montana was. (I thought all along that this was some cartoon show on the Disney Network)
Of course being so oiut of touch that one does not actually know who is , or is not a monolith of popular culture has its (almost) counter-coolness wherein one readily admits and celebrates their lack of connectivity to the prepubescent world by no longer being required to dwell on such stuff.
It gave me a headache when I hadda do it, now I can read a post, smile, and slowly walk away.
Imagine if it woulda been a Lamborghini linkat!! (then Id seriously be talking about selling mykids to the slave trade). Dont worry, my wife would come up with reasons why I shouldnt have a LAmborghini, and shed get to keep the kids.
So Cool!
When do you go?
Did you tell the girls?
Would you please tell Billy Ray that my daughter no longer wants to marry him but still has his "Achey Breaky Heart" cd?
What the hell are you talking about?
((spits tobacco in a spare tin can))
Now, see, that Montana I know. Dont tell me your first name is Hanna Gezzie
Yeah, there will be a lot of sleepy girls at school today. Sozlet didn't go, but several of her friends did. Sozlet isn't that into Hannah Montana, which I don't actually regret that much.
That's not actually the Hannah Montana get-up btw in the Libby Lu pic, that's standard-issue "rock star." I know because sozlet got it -- that exact one, at that exact place -- before the whole Hannah Montana thing started. (A birthday party. All the other girls chose to be made up as princesses, she chose to be a "rock star.") The Hannah Montana outfit doesn't have that hairdo, especially... just a blonde wig. (I know THAT because ever since the birthday party we've been getting stuff from Club Libby Lu.) (Which is evil.) (But I digress.)
