When I first seen this thread, I had started thinking about how awesome this would be and how I'd do whatever I could to maximize the experience for sfalim. I was like a kid in a candy store with excitement. I kept telling myself "it wont happen, this stuff doesn't happen to you", as experience with Tripp has shown me that he gets the nod on these things. But when I got a PM Friday night from Non saying to call him "so we can discuss details of this transaction". I didn't call right away because I got the PM near 10pm and didn't want to wake his twins. And because I hate talking on the phone.
The sad part to this. After I sent my number to Non, I kept checking my phone (making sure it was charged and ringer was up loud), my email, junk folder, PM inbox here, the chat room.... like a high school girl waiting for the most popular guy in school to call her to ask her to prom.
After going through most of the day expecting a call or email with the details, I found out in the gameday chat. According to Nonstopdrivel, the only reason Tripp got the ticket was because I voted for him, which I did because I felt bad.
In my late 20's and still learning that you can't count your chickens before they hatch. Friday and Saturday, I couldn't sleep out of excitement, tonight I won't sleep out of frustration of my own stupidity. Some day I'm going to learn. I hope. This is one of those things, I just won't be able to let go for a very long time. I know this fact puts a smile on one persons face.
To end this wah wah post on a positive note. I was taken back by the kind words from some of the posts here. (spare AADP's low blow). Thank you! Sorry I let you down. You all give way too much credit to me for this website. Think of PackersHome like a good beer. You don't buy and enjoy that beer because of the bottle its in, you buy and enjoy it because of the beer inside. I created PackersHome, the bottle, but you guys are the beer, you are what everyone enjoys.
