This morning wasn't much different than any other morning.
I woke up to the alarm on my cell phone (I use the term "woke up" loosely) and immediately pressed the snooze button...like I do every single morning of my life.
Nine minutes later the alarm goes off again...(don't ask me why they chose 9 minute snooze intervals, I've asked myself the same question many-a-time)...and I debate whether or not to "snooze" some more. Today I decided not to make it a double-snooze morning, but I still wasn't ready to get out of bed. So what did I do? I pulled up Facebook on my phone. After I was satiated by all the statuses of my friends, I pulled up my email.
To my surprise I received an email from Hilton. No, not Paris or Perez, just the hotel.
The email went something like this:
Thank you for...yada yada yada
Normally you have to stay with us for one million nights (said with pinky finger extended to corner of mouth)...yada yada yada
We don't do this very often...yada yada yada
However, "we have extended you a one time exception and upgraded your account to Diamond VIP."
"What?!?! Me? Really!?" In my sad little traveling consultant's mind, this was better than a college acceptance letter!
I felt like I had just won the hotel rewards/points lottery!
I know what you're thinking, so just go ahead...I give you permission; You can tell all of your friends you know someone that has Marriott Platinum status AND HiltonHonors Diamond VIP status.
That little black card you see above will have my name on it and will be delivered to my home in 3 weeks or less. Don't hate the player...hate the game. ;)

I am SO jealous. I stay at Hilton properties all the time and I'm barely silver...but, the guy at my local one in Austin told me that the next time I come in he'd wear a top hat and tails, give me a pony, and be extra nice to me...that ought to count for something. I just hope he actually does it.
