Luck? Me? Us? Not usually...

I wasn't going to blog this yet, but it's just too fantastic to believe.

SWMBO was informed yesterday that she had won the grand prize in a project contest she was involved in at work. The grand prize is an iPad 2!

She told me, if you can believe it, that it was ours, but that she was giving it to me for my use mostly, as she has use for few things that don't involve wool or fibre of other sorts. Isn't that wonderful? Isn't she terrific? Wasn't she lucky? Isn't this just too cool? Shouldn't I stop with the exclamatory remarks now?

This is just too neat. I don't believe it. Because of the demand it is on backorder we are told, but we're supposed to be getting it. Wow! Insanely great! <tm>

Yes! I can't believe it, myself. I'll wait until I see it. Not being a pessimist here or anything. Just knowing what my luck is like. :)
