Some of you may be asking, "What on earth was this girl doing up at 6am on a Saturday?"
Well, the Chick-Fil-A's in our county had a giveaway this morning. People camped out overnight to be the winners of Free Breakfast for a Year.
Mind you, I was NOT one of the people braving the chilly overnight temperatures to win. I still can't believe people do that. What on earth would drive someone to camp out overnight to win something or garner a "good" deal? We see it on TV all the time - iPhones, Walmart Black Friday specials, concert tickets, etc... Oh! Sorry, I got of subject.
Anyway, I saw the commercial on TV earlier in the week and then again last night just before the 11 o'clock news. For a fleeting moment I thought I might run over there this morning, but quickly pushed those thoughts aside. Surely, sleeping in, for a change, would be better.
This morning my brain woke up, without any assistance from an alarm, at 4:50am. My first thought was, "Hey, what time is it? I think I need to get up and go to Chick-Fil-A!" I rolled around for a few minutes, attempting to quiet my mind to no avail. Rising with a smile, I turned on my computer to make sure I had the right information and headed on over.
I arrived around 5:30am, at a lesser known Chick-Fil-A, and attempted a quick head count. Sure enough, some of those people had pitched tents, many had brought folding chairs, and as I walked up they were tossing a small football around the circle of hungry Chick-Fil-A lovers. I registered as number 45!
Fantastic! I didn't camp out overnight, or get up at some truly crazy hour (I know, I know. This is a matter of opinion.) But, I won. Here's a photo of my goodies:
What did I get? A Chick-Fil-a fan with a cow face, a calendar with additional coupons, a t-shirt (because who doesn't need another t-shirt????), a miniature cow, and FREE BREAKFAST COUPONS FOR A YEAR! Woo-hoo!
Oh! Almost forgot. This is my nifty bracelet...just in case I lost my number.
