Lately I have been thinking of either starting a weekly feature or a blog called "One Day When," where I would write about what I plan on doing one day when I win the lottery, move, get married, have kids, get a job, etc. For instance, this week the feature post would be called "One Day When I Can Afford an Expensive Father's Day Gift." On my budget right now expensive is anything over $5, which is why my father is going to have to make due with a card for Father's Day this year.
The thing is, even if I could afford more than a card, I wouldn't know what to get my father. He is notoriously hard to shop for. I guess he is where my sister gets it from. I learned a long time ago that no matter what you buy him, he's just going to toss it to the side because someone either got him the same thing but nicer (his mother somehow managed to do that every Christmas without fail) or because he would rather enjoy something one of the revolving-door step kids bought him instead. Sad but true.
So when I heard about the Victorinox I Wear a Watch Sweepstakes, my first thought was that I should rush on over to the Facebook IWAW sweepstakes page and enter so maybe, just maybe, I could blow away the step-siblings this year. I saw this watch on the Victorinox web site, the Victorinox Swiss Army Air Boss.
I thought, "Beat that, step siblings whose names I can never remember. Beat that, step mother who needs her meds adjusted again. Beat that, little sister with the picture mugs. I am giving him a watch, and not just any watch either. I'm giving him one with a calendar, several chronographs, and water resistant features."
One day when I win the sweepstakes, of course.
Then reality set in, and I thought, "Why should I give it to him if I win? He's just going to lose it. Maybe I want a new watch, too. All I have is a dressy watch. Maybe I want a weekend watch." So after that reality check, I went over to the Facebook page, tried to like the contest and choose one of the women's watches, and found out that I had to be a member of Facebook to do so. Fooey. I'm really going to have to join that one day, aren't I? I guess I have already found my topic for next week's "One Day When" post.
One day when might actually be tomorrow since I promised my nephew that I would get us that code for Fate that's going to be listed on Facebook tomorrow afternoon. I don't know if it will be vieweable to non-Facebook members. If it's not, I guess I will finally be signing up.
If you are a member of Facebook and need a new watch or know someone who does, be sure to check out the I Wear a Watch Sweepstakes. Victorinox Swiss Army is giving away a watch a day for 30 days. Then check out all of their watches at SwissArmy.com. They even have scratch-resistant watches for people like me who are constantly walking into and knocking their watches against things. A scratch-resistant watch is probably a wise investment since "one day when I am no longer clumsy" is never going to happen.
