Oprah Tickets Where Art Thou?
If you’re a fan ‘down undah’ like me, you’re probably one of the many who missed out on Oprah Tickets up for grabs over the weekend.
My story’s a bit different, albeit still heartbreaking.
I didn’t even get in the ballot. Didn’t get to register at all.
I tried on the first hour of the first day but the system was probably inundated and could not cope with all of us trying to get in all at once. So, in my wisdom, I said I would try again over the weekend in the wee small hours of the morning to see if I could squeeze my name in hopefully while everyone else was asleep.
Alas, life happens to the best of us. And as a mum of 3, there is infinite wisdom in doing something and doing it now. Because I’m likely going to forget to do it later. Mostly.
Especially if I’ve got grocery shopping (at Costco no less for the quarterly household bulk buys we needed which took almost half the day), the week’s laundry and ironing to get around to, and 3 sick kids to take care of (didn’t plan on that one but it happened!) to squeeze into 2 days. Not to mention, a bit of mediating and marriage counselling for the old folks (oops, I shouldn’t have mentioned that!).
The good news is, I managed to squeeze in a haircut and conditioning treatment for my hair at my suki hairdresser.
So the weekend wasn’t all lost.
Oh well, I’ll still get to meet Oprah another time. I have faith. It’s a small (cyber) world after all.

Hehe, yes, next time for both of us:) Maybe Oprah will contact us and take us on a trip somewhere…. You’re managing to squeeze plenty in and still keep up the blog too. Impressive stuff!

Hey Annabel!
Honestly, I’m learning it’s not the lack of time mostly, but just a lack of focus. I do know I need to make a decision on the blog soon so I can focus on my niche better and generate more quality posts (even with little time). And I’ve got just the e-book to help me…
And yes, one day Oprah will be featuring us in one of the shows in her network as ‘the next big thing’ in the blogging world. Looking forward to it! =)
