bargain shopping

i love a good deal. nothing makes me happier than finding something for nothing. so you can imagine my excitement when i heard about the possibility of getting a hotel room for nearly free.
my friends cassie and jill let me know about this cool new travel website called lastminutetravel.com, which is having a promotional deal. for 15 minutes a day, for two weeks only, you can book any hotel room anywhere in the world (almost) for 1$ a day. how cool is that? the catch, you don't know when that fifteen minutes will be, so you end up sitting in front of your computer like a zombie waiting for it to happen. this is what my husband and i did on sunday night after the super bowl, we alternated sitting in front of the computer waiting. we did this all day monday, and all night monday night he sat hitting refresh every 30 seconds or so. i was at work and too busy to get much time in front of the computer. it never happened, so my husband told me i was crazy, it was a hoax, and we just lost an entire day of our life waiting for a scam. i felt stupid and so naive, which is totally my nature.
i had worked monday night, so after getting home and getting kids off to school i went to lay down.
i had worked almost 18 hours and was exhausted. 20 minutes into my near coma state, my husband calmy tells me, i think it is happening.
what is happening? he says, the video is playing on that website and its telling us the rooms are all a dollar, we have 5 minutes left.
holy crap!! go back up there and do it then!! so he sits down and goes through the little screens and voila, we have a disneyworld resort for 1 dollar a day. seven nights, seven dollars.
for real.
he said he just sat down and clicked on it one last time, just to see if the website even still worked, or if it had been shut down because of false advertising, and boom, there it was.
i never win contests, never ever. i still cant believe we lucked out like this, so now we can take our family to disney and shave about 1200$ off the cost. woo hoo!!
im going to disneyworld!



with four small children.
hold on... this is a good thing right?
