prize-worthy

for a couple of years now i've been trying to adopt cinderella, i.e., home by midnight. well, i have been far, verrry far, from successful : }

now for the first time, there is a challenge component to it. someone is going to give me a prize if i beat the midnight curfew for the seven nights out i have scheduled for september. suddenly, i am exerting extra effort -> all for the prize of just chocolates. hahaha, i am sooo shallow...

the first night out, i was having dinner with someone and 9 pm i wanted to go home already. the guy was telling me i'm OA as it would not take three hours for me to get home. ooops, true, hahaha. we stayed on an hour more therefore. 10 pm i stood up and was home well before midnight : )

the second night out was a hawaiian party. i wasn't confident i could win that one. it was a family affair, we have hour-long goodbyes. anyway, i again made it home before midnight : )

the third is tonight. i'm going to rockwell. that's near my place. let's see how i will fare.

yesterday, an officemate was telling me that she could find someone who would double the prize if i stay beyond midnight with him. oh, haha. i could stay out late, no sweat. but no, thanks. i'd like to get my prize in the difficult round... ; )
