You gotta be kidding me...

On a lark, I entered an online contest to win tickets to the season 2 Premiere of Outlander In Glasgow. The location didn't seem like much of a deterent because nobody wins these things anyway, right?

So this morning, April 4th, I receive this in my email:

Really? I mean, REALLY??

What's the price of last minute airfare to Glasgow, you ask? 

$2377 but the bag is free!  Tempting.

John is out of the country. Still Tempting

Leave the boys alone. Still not seeing the drawbacks.

My gut-wrenching response:

You’re killing me, Sarah.  I thought I’d have a little more time to work out the travel.  Actually I didn’t think I’d win.  Unfortunately I can not attend without leaving the house immediately and leaving two teenagers to their own devices.  Believe me, I’m tempted.  I even waited to hear back from my husband, who is not at present on the same continent as me, to confirm, “There’s no fucking way you’re going to Glasgow!”  I’ll have a whiskey in honor of the Runner-Up and let her know that I hate her with all of my heart.

Thank you,

Jennifer Moore

Sarah was johnny-on-the-spot with:

Hi Jennifer,

This email has really made my day. I can only apologise that we are letting you know at such a late date. The competition closed at a very late date, which was no fault of our own unfortunately. Shame you couldn’t jump on a place immediately ;)

Hopefully we will have something in future you can attend!

Sorry again.

Thanks so much,

Sarah

 Oh, Sarah, my poor innocent Sarah:

I will hold you to that Sarah Gutierrez.  That’s right I know your last name.  This debt will be paid in full.  I will stalk you like Inigo Montoya until I have had satisfaction.

<much like Jamie Fraser>

You have not heard the last of me.
