Today is the day that my friend is coming to visit me. Yay!! I
seem to remember that I promised you a story yesterday on how I almost lost our
4 front-row seat tickets. Well, as soon as I received the tickets I
automatically pulled them out and checked to make sure that they were right and
also that what I had seen on the website was correct. I still couldn’t believe
that we had front row seats. I took a picture (see previous blog post here) and
posted it on Facebook for all my friends to see (yes, I am definitely bragging
at this point in time) where they went after that I wasn’t sure. For some
reason, a few weeks later, I wondered where I placed those tickets. I looked in
all the usual piles of papers around my room and couldn’t find them. I wasn’t
worried as I sometimes misplace things and I knew I would eventually find them.
I continued looking throughout the week (off and on) and became concerned that
I couldn’t find them. I cleaned my room and two piles of trash stared me in the
face. I made up my mind to throw NOTHING out until I found those tickets. I
didn’t have time to look anymore so I waited for the weekend. I hunted through
every nook, cranny, pile, and purse and couldn’t find a trace of them. I
couldn’t even find the envelope they came in. I decided that I would look
through the trash although I knew I couldn’t have thrown something so important
away. You probably know the ending of the story by now but for those who don’t
I shall continue. I opened up the bag and what do you know there were four
front-row tickets staring right at me. To think if I didn’t look for those
tickets at that exact moment, I would have thrown them away and then what. I
shudder to think of it. I took a deep breath and immediately thanked God that I
wouldn’t have to tell 3 of my best friends that I had thrown away our $55
front-row tickets. I immediately placed them in a box and put them in my very
top drawer of my dresser. I got up the courage to tell all of my friends
(eventually) of the unfortunate incident. They were relieved but I could tell
that they had become concerned about my ticket handling capabilities. After
that I had three dreams where my friends were either late or that we had
forgotten the tickets. I think I’m going to have them text me tomorrow before I
leave my house so there is no chance I’ll forget them. I’m so excited to see my
friend today and to see Straight No Chaser tomorrow. If they only knew who
excited I am…
