Phil's not on the phone!

Well, the “Phil’s on the Phone” Ford sweepstakes to play golf with Phil Mickelson entry deadline has come and gone. They said they would be drawing the winner “on or about October 7” and notifying the winners via phone or mail. I sit by the phone and wait… and he doesn’t call. This must be how high school girls who weren’t out partying felt.

Of course, I did give him my fax number that I don’t actually answer as I do on all forms that might result in telemarketing. But it’s got an answering machine, and he hasn’t left me a message. And I keep checking my mailbox… he hasn’t sent me anything. I’m starting to think maybe I didn’t win. Especially since the winners have to play their qualifying rounds in mid November, so I think they’ve been notified by now. But on their site, it says to check back soon to see who will compete to play. Maybe that’s because they have to make sure to officially notify the winners before posting them up there, like next of kin or something. Maybe someone can’t make it and they need to select an alternate. If there’s any remote possibility left for me to win…...

Phil, if you’re out there… PLEASE CALL! The requirements said the winners must have a handicap of lower than 23 to play, and I worked so hard to get mine down! I don’t need the car, I just want to play golf! (Try not to sound desperate, Kristen) Please, oh please, oh please?

I’ll be waiting…

Next post.
