L won a giraffe!!

Seriously;)
We never win anything. Most recently, we tried to win tickets for Disneyland by collecting the points off the bread (only bought yamazaki bread for two or three months, and must have sent in at least a dozen forms)...but nada.
I think the last thing I actually won was a Paula Abdul LP, or was it the Bobby Brown LP - cant remember which came last, since I was in about 7th or 8th grade!!

So after we went to the zoo a couple of weeks ago, answered the sticker quiz and put our entry in the box we all forgot about the competition...until the doorbell rang at 7:50pm last night and the postie delivered L his very own plastic giraffe model toy. He was totally taken with it-it slept with him, ate breakfast with him, rode in the car with him to drop K off at school...not sure what happened to it after that, though;)

K was kinda pisses she didn't win anything, but we put her entry into the draw for the main prize, so I guess that was out fault for aiming high. I still think its a rort that most competitions in Japan make you choose which prize you are going for. No such thing as runners-up when you've only got one chance;(

So yeah, don't know if I am "back" blogging or not(can only access my blog thru iPhone as forgotten my password, and blogging from an iPhone is kinda painful!!) but for some reason (for the first time in a long time) I felt like posting--all thanks to a little plastic giraffe.
How Random;)
