Zack and I polished off our Impromptu Thursday Night Date Night (Chicken tacos, homemade margaritas and Drive [Ryan Gosling, w00t]) by doing a little FaceTime chatting with my family. Said FaceTiming was possible because my mom won a free iPad2* today from a bank** for refinancing her car***. So, feel free to just go ahead and call her by her new nickname, Lucky Liz.

*How many “iPad Giveaways” have you seen advertised since the iPad came out? About 3,500,000? Is that a good estimate? And how many of those have been legitimate? NONE? That’s my count, too. So how my mom tracked down (AND WON!) the only REAL iPad2 Giveaway on the planet is totally beyond me.
**Who wins things from a bank?! Banks don’t give away stuff! Ever!
***Who has good and fun things surprise them in life as a result of refinancing something?! Lucky Liz, that’s who. Lucky Liz.
