Fiji: So close, yet so far away!

Random story, but I had to share, as my husband thinks I am so silly...

Back in late winter, shortly after my "retirement," I saw an ad on TV to name the little car on the Pierre Auto Money Mart Commercials. The name Turbo immediately came to mind, so I found their website and submitted an entry for the car. I'm a marketer -- I can do this! The winner was to receive a trip to Fiji.

I told Matt about submitting this entry, and I told him how I had the perfect name that was going to win. Fast forward almost 4 months. So I'm watching TV this morning and their new ad announces the winning name of the car: TURBO!

Hey, that was my entry! Am I destined for a trip to Fiji and the announcement made it to my Hotmail junk folder? Am I THAT far behind in opening my mail? Nope. I guess my entry was one of several exactly like it...they must have conducted a drawing, because here is video footage of the winner (see lower right corner of page): http://www.pierremoneymart.com/

Fiji -- so close, yet so far away!
