iPad2 for $100

I feel awesome.  I feel so great.  I am so very happy at the decisions I made today.  There was soo much going on. There just wasnt enough time to do it all.
The Bay was having an event for their new Philosophy line of products.   Also I think it was La Vie en Rose that was having a big promo with discounts and gift bags.  I normally would have took an early lunch and tried to check both out.  I am so happy I didnt.  My coworker had left at 11:30 to take his lunch.  I thought about taking mine then too but then decided not to.
My outcome for staying at my desk?  Just after 11:30am I get a notificatiin on my phone from dealfind.   A new dream deal was just posted!  Dream deals are a new perk/marketing idea that Dealfind just started.  As soon as I got the message, my heart skipped a beat and I felt the adrenaline running through me.   I knew I only had minutes to check out this deal and decide if I should buy it.  Every second mattered. 
I read the deal.  It was $100 for a 16gig iPad2.  OMG.  I couldnt believe it.   I have been hoping to win an iPad for a long time and to me, this was close enough to winning.  I had to buy this deal and buy it fast!  I scrambled to log in and attempted to make the purchase.  Next thing I know, I saw the word Cool! on my screen.  This means my buy went through.  I did it!!!!
Turns out I was the only one in Toronto to make a successful buy, of 3 in Ontario and 7 in Canada.  I feel so special, so lucky.  I have been on such a high all day today!!!!  I cant wait for it to arrive in the mail!
