really?

After a visit to the doctor's office...I don't usually hear from the doctor again until the next time I make an appointment.  If he were to call...I would think there was a problem.

I visited the eye doctor last week...for my long overdue eye examination.  He thought all was well...no concerns...just a wee switch in the lens prescription.  I was on my way in no time!

Yesterday afternoon I had a call from the 'eye doctors' office.  I immediately knew there was a problem!

What a surprise to discover I was the winner of  a gift basket...one of their promotional door prizes.  So of course I drove into town to pick up my winnings...and immediately unpacked the basket.

I am now the proud owner of a black Nike duffel bag...some great-looking guy's sunglasses...a black t-shirt...a mug...a nifty pen...Diesel cologne for men...Lola by Marc Jacobs eau de parfum...a Juicy Couture compact...and lots of supplies for keeping my glasses sparkling clean. 

I'm just thinking...there are some great items to re-gift! 

Enjoy your day!

  1. Have never heard of such a thing, but how cool is that? It could make you want to visit the doctor. It sounds as if you'll have to regift everything except for the basket. :D

  6. Congratulations on your win. Never seen anything like that at any doctor's office I've been to.
    In my opinion you can never have enough cleaner to keep the glasses sparkly.

  9. Congratulations to you my friend! As I read through the list of prizes I was reminded of just how generous of a gift you received. I hope you like the "Lola" by Marc Jacobs. I was told last week that it is one of the top sellers at a big department store near our home. I think it smells so good. Good lesson on keeping up with eye appointments. Happy for you!

  11. Isn't it nice to win something even if you don't need it? Reminds me there was an email about having won something.. sometimes you don't know if you should follow up on it... butthe eyedoctor's sounds quite safe and rewarding.

  12. I have a dear friend who would call that "an unexpected blessing"! And I think he would be right.
