Yay me ;-)
Brigette and I had the following slightly odd bet going: if she had passed her CHRP designation exam, she’d buy me a new digital camera. If, on the other hand, she had failed, I’d get her a new Coach purse.
One can tell that she was seriously considering the possibility of having failed. 
So, that bet would guarantee her one pleasurable experience (passing or at the very least new, pretty purse).
I was fairly certain that she had, in fact, done quite well. I gladly accepted, since I very much wanted a new camera, and I was sure I would get it. lol Besides, I had been telling her that I was positive that she had not failed the test. She wouldn’t listen, so I figured I may as well get something out of it.
Turns out I was right. Of course I was. — You can only be right if you expect Brigette to do well on her exams. (Rule #1: Don’t listen to Brigette when she tells you how she’s not sure she passed.)
So, congratulations to you CHRPy girl, for getting your muchly desired (and deserved) designation. I am proud of you.
And thanks for buying me this fancy new toy from my wish list.

Well, they don’t know.
For instance, they don’t know that I told you time and time again that you had not only passed, but certainly done quite well. So, for me telling you ahead of time and you not listening to me, I should get the camera. And no purse for you, for the same reason.
That’s how the bet went.
You might be getting something else, though, in the new year…
