About that time I thought “I never win anything”

Sometimes, you do get something out of laying on the couch scrolling through Facebook on your phone.

Like, a gift card for dinner and dessert.

And professional matchmaking services. Yep.

Like any lazy Saturday, I was laying around, avoiding cleaning or other more responsible things and came across a Valentine’s Day raffle with the grand prize of a Mitchell’s gift card, dessert at Bravo…and six free months of service from a local matchmaker. I entered because all I needed to do was give my contact information and I never win anything anyway, so no big deal.

Wrong. The Sunday after Valentine’s Day, I got the email that I won.

As one of the last single girls among my friends, it’s obviously my job to let the married set know what they are – or aren’t – missing, so I met with the matchmaker. Where I had a full photo shoot. Multiple poses. Tilted head, hands on hips. Sadly, there were no 2014 numbers to pose with. A guy came in as I was finishing and changed into his ‘first look.’ Full senior photos going on here.

So now I wait to be cropped, airbrushed, and set up with Pittsburgh’s Patti Stanger’s matches for me. Where if we both choose each other, they have to call and talk to me. No texting or email – we really are back at my senior photo timeframe.

Worst case? I got free Mitchell’s and dessert. Girl’s gotta eat.
