Okay, this is very weird. I haven't had my coffee yet, so please bear with me. My partner has CBC radio 2 on her clock radio, so every morning it blasts at an ungodly hour to wake her up. Somehow I've learned how to ignore the noise and keep sleeping. But this morning when the alarm went off I sat bolt upright in bed. I heard my name mentioned! and my blog! ...not sure which one though, but something about how a woman and her partner... And then MY partner slapped the alarm!!! CRAP!
"Turn it back on; I think they were talking about me!" I had to say it at least three time, because, well, she had just woken up too, and she sleeps with earplugs. So she turns the radio back on, and yes, there are a few more seconds of talk that sound like they are talking about my story, 'Letting Go of Baggage'.
Holy Crap! So I have to know, and I've just spent an hour trying to find something on the radio channel's web-site that would explain why me or my story would be mentioned. Nothing. All I found was a phone number to call. I think it's a national one though, not local. So now I'm sitting here trying to decide whether or not I want to phone it, and risk finding out, and, telling whoever I'm speaking to, that I had just been waken up by a very vivid dream!
Definitely phone! You have to know! Shame the website doesn't have a 'listen again' facility. Report back - because now I also need to know x
ReplyDeleteWell, I got my coffee, and I just spent a half hour on the phone telling nearly everyone at CBC radio that I thought I heard my name and blog mentioned on the morning show as I was waking up, but I wasn't completely sure.... LOL. Finally got to talk to someone that told me that the station's morning show was all music, but I was adamant, they were talking at least for a bit, although I'm starting to doubt what I think I heard.... So, he put me on hold, and then came back to ask for my phone number and name, and he said he would get back to me when they got back to him. I might never get to find out if I my dream world and my awake world got all mixed up or not. sigh... Okay, now I have to get on with the rest of my day. But you can bet if the phone rings I'll be jumping out of my skin! LOL
ReplyDeleteHoly Moses. Ring them back NOW! :) TFX
ReplyDeleteI didn't get that last fellows phone number, ... or his name of department.... :(
ReplyDeleteGood grief! Maybe it was a caller who mentioned your blog/story? How intriguing. I hope you get an answer. If not it was a damn fine dream:-)
ReplyDeleteI have no idea Lane; the only thing I figured it could be was that CBC 2 does some sort of Blogging award, and maybe mine got honourable mention or something like that, but I didn't submitted my blog for a contest or any sort. ... I had this whole little fantasy that maybe someone else had, or the CBC people just happened upon it. LOL. ...No call back from that fellow I talked to this morning; I think maybe he thought I was a wacko and said what he did to get off the phone.
ReplyDeleteIf it was a dream it was the most vivid I've ever had, and, I can't define the line between when I was dreaming it, and when I awoke. LOL
Oh my god, I blog with a superstar.... At the end of the day you are the only person I know who's had their blog mention on the radio....lol in a dream ;-)
ReplyDeleteHey Annie; it might not have been a dream after-all. :)
