Do you have any idea what it's like to be obsessed with something for four years...and then to get it?
I'm not complaining - I'm not one of those who gets what they've always wanted, only to find they don't want it anymore. It's just a little hard to believe, that's all.
I keep expecting somebody to show up and tell me there's been a mistake - you don't just get what you want this easily.
Some middle-aged guy, short and balding, in a cheap brown suit with a clipboard.
"I'm sorry, there's been a slight mix-up...completely our fault...but you see, the 'Happily Ever After With The Man Of Your Dreams' prize package was actually won by a Mrs. Sarah Reide of Newark, New Jersey."
"Your name was drawn for our 'Chocolate Cheesecake Fantasia' prize, featuring a lifetime's supply of Godiva's Chocolate Cheesecake ice cream, which you registered for at a supermarket two years ago."
And then he looks down at his clipboard, fidgets a bit, and h-hems nervously.
"Unfortunately, they've stopped making that particular ice cream..."
