I Really Want to Win…Is That Wrong?

So our bar was nominated for “The Burgh’s Best Neighborhood Bar,” a contest being run by Star 100.7.  There are about 45 bars on the list and the voting ends at 7 a.m. tomorrow (Friday) morning.  At first I didn’t think we had any chance of winning because there are some pretty great bars on the list.  You have Kayas, D’s 6-Pack, Z Lounge and so many other fantastic and far more well-known bars that, I didn’t think our little place in Lawrenceville would even be in contention.
Guess what?
We’re definitely contenders!  In fact, we’re yo-yoing back and forth between another bar for first place.  I’m very excited and so incredibly grateful that our staff, customers and friends have been voting for us.  I’ve even managed to get a ton of colleagues from my “big girl” job to vote.  But here’s the problem…I’ve become obsessed with winning this contest!
My entire life I’ve been extremely competitive and this trait actually comes from my grandmother.  It doesn’t matter if I’m playing a sport like when I row and we’re in a race…I want to win.  I could be playing a simple game of Dominos with my family and…I have to win.  My husband hates playing anything with me because I’m not a gracious winner and I’m a really sore loser.  But I just can’t help myself sometimes.  I like to win and I really want to win this contest.  I don’t even know what you win if you do win.  I’m just hoping that they say the name of the bar on the radio (free advertising) and we get some sort of banner or plaque that we can hang in the bar.  Winning something like this really helps us out as a small neighborhood bar.
If you are reading this post, I would really appreciate if you could click on the link below and vote for Remedy in Lawrenceville.  I really want to knock-out the competition and right now we’re behind.  Besides, the competition is located in Greensburg and not even in the ‘Burgh.  I don’t want them to win “The Burgh’s Best Neighborhood Bar!”
