Better than Chocolate Lucky Charms

During my very grumpy day yesterday Pickle made me walk down Broadway to enter a lottery with her. This lottery was for tickets for the Chicago10th anniversary celebration show (the musical.) Pickle loves Broadway like I love designer jeans. If you won, you got 1 ticket to see the benefit celebration/show. I huffed down to the theater and met Pickle to enter the lottery to win tickets.

This benefit show will feature the big stars that have ever been in the show in the past 10 years.
My dad once showed me a trick when he was entering a drawing with a business card that involved folding the paper in half and then flipping one corner up into a triangle. I did this fold when I put my slip of paper in the Chicago box yesterday and I won! But better than that, Pickle one, too! They told us 10 tickets were being given away for free to fill the theater for the benefit performance and we both won! I clearly entered for Pickle and would have given her my ticket, but this is best of all. The performance is tonight and it is Black Tie optional. We get to dress up. There are people who bought these tickets for $500. We are getting them for free. This is a great musical and I am soooooooo excited. This is also Pickle's #1 fave. In particular, I am excited to see Bebe Newarth and Ashlee Simpson, among the other great castmembers that are coming back.

Today is an exciting day. Not only did I get to bring whatever I wanted for lunch, which included Chocolate Lucky Charms as a breakfast snack, but I get to go to Friday's for happy hour and appetizers for our 1/2 priced quicky "dinner" before the show. The show...whoo-wee! We even got our seats together!
