SHUT THE DOOR!!!!!!

So yesterday the hubster and I are kicking it (aka cleaning the living room) and Fed Ex pulls up.  I often order things I forget about - and while I knew I had some things coming in the mail, I was pretty sure I hadn't received any shipping notifications and what I had ordered was supposed to come via UPS.

So he goes to get it and I remember!  A computer charger - my laptop cord died and I ordered a new one...

So goes the conversation...

He gets the package and I ask - my computer cord?

Him - No...

Me - what is it then - bank paperwork?

Him - no, it's addressed to you.

Me - what?

I get the envelope and read... Ventura Associates ... NY...

OMG


Am I getting sued!


Why am I getting sued!


Am I having to testify for something?


What in the world...

Hubby sees my look of terror (and before you read further I don't have any reason to be sued, and have never been sued, but mistakes are made and people get slapped with lawsuits....

I've never saw it happen IRL

but on the good wife, la law, Fairly legal, drop dead diva, PEOPLE"S COURT

ACCCKKKKKKK!!!!!!

So I tear open the envelope...

Ventura Associates
blah blah blah

my address
yeah I know it already

Dear Melissa
yeah - that's me

Important Notice!
dear God how much is this going to cost me?
will I have to sell my car?
my first born?
my second born?

Ventura Associates International, L.L.C. is the independent judging organization for the One More Disney Day Sweepstakes...We are responsible for determining the winner(s) ...you have been selected as a "potential winner...We say "potential winner" because...blah blah you have to sign and notarize this paper saying you didn't cheat, you are who you are, you live where you live...yada yada yada....

DH is looking at my face like whats wrong

I am thinking NO FREAKING WAY

normal people don't win this
you see them on commercials and they aren't normal
NO FREAKING WAY

so I tell him, he doesn't believe me

I give him the letter

he still doesn't believe me

it took some convincing - but he now believes...

So we rushed off to get the paper work notarized and fed-ex'd back to NY

I then spent every few hours yesterday and today checking to see where it was via my tracking number

it was delivered today - at 11:12am

and now I wait, because of course it said you will hear back in 7 days...

and so I wait...
