I’m done. I entered all the Starbucks giveaways that were over $10. I did the Target, Visa and Amazon giveaway contests. I didn’t win Queen B’s Amazon giveaway, even though we had agreed that I would.
I even already spent it, y’all. Now, in addition to my blog expenses and my own $65 give-away, I have to explain the Amazon box that arrived yesterday to the tune of $35.
I’m in the red. Thanks, Queen.
“What? It’s my favorite color, you say? As in, you’ve done me a favor? Riiight.”
She KNOWS that black is my favorite not-a-color, because that is just one of the so many ways we are the same. The insensitivity, people.
Kidding about Queen B’s contest. I couldn’t convince would never ask her to rig it.
I was under-impressed with some of the give-aways. Salt and Pepper shakers? The unused balance on a gift card? What can I get for $9.57 at the Cheesecake Factory? I’m not sure it’s even enough for a single piece of Peanut Butter Cookie Dough cheesecake. I guess I could have gotten a Diet Coke. That’s worth it.
I’ll be right back – gotta’ go enter that one real quick.
Demin overalls in a 4T? The chance to go clean someone’s house?! (Kidding. snort!)
I was MOST impressed with mine, of course a Wordpress giveaway from sH Blogger (I actually entered two of those. Brilliant.) As in hand-holding, upgrade, “You’re not stupid, honey. You’re just learning.” assistance. I MUST. HAVE. THAT.
*Ooh, little update here – God is chasing me down y’all, because I was just invited to enter AGAIN by linking to Desperately Seeking Sanity’s Wordpress giveaway. That’s four chances, dear reader. Count them. FO-AH.*
And I was also impressed by the online gift certificates over $40 and cold, hard cash.
(You probably accurately guessed that I had to link to those last two for an extra entry. They’re not dumb, those bloggy bloggers. They want my traffic. But please don’t go. You’ll decrease my chances.)
Tune in tomorrow when I announce my own Anne Taintor giveaway WINNER. (Who, sadly will NEVER get to be my BFF for taking it away from me…… but whatever.)
And where I turn to you for emotional support in my time of loss. Because if I don’t win anything AND I have to part with all this freakin’ awesome Anne stuff…. well, who’s to say what will become of me?
I guess I could always give myself a Drinks on Me! Award.

It was a good thing I put down my Coke before reading your post
You made me laugh so hard I *snorted*! Thanks for coming by and entering in my giveaway 
Now we just need to get you off the freebie-blogs 
I think you deserve an award just for all you have gone through in the past 2 weeks! Grab a margarita (on the rocks, no salt, please) and have a chill weekend….if that is possible.
Love ya’ girl!
And even though I know it is completely useless…PICK ME, PICK ME! (I promise I’ll share….if that helps my odds!)
To salve the wounds of giving away some of your favorite AT stuff (and to salve my wounds of having to pay for everything I’ve been reading about for the past week or so…by the way, what’s the running total? I think the running total is first year tuition for Shauna’s first born), how ’bout I shake you a watermelon martini tonight? Or, two?
Y’all – he did it again. That Prince That I Married left a comment. Isn’t he yummy? He’s MINE….. NO touchy.
He’s so good to me. I am a WELL-LOVED woman.
Lanxi – I’m sorry. Was that a typo? “a” margarita? I’ve earned at least 2, wouldn’t you agree? *snort*.
Wow. Lovin’ the snark this morning.
To answer your question, I’ve read you before from comments elsewhere but was redirected here when One Thing Jenni mentioned it. Then I read the saga, and I’m pals with Indiana Keetha and had to fill her in on the ensuing drama since she was a part of all of it.
Then, I tried to explain the whole thing to Headless Dad- He who doesn’t understand blogging anyway.
Now I’m going to be a ‘good and faithful reader’ because the drama and humor? It does suck me in!
Oh, and margaritas, martinis, whatever- just pour one-it’s Friday AND 5 o’clock somewhere!
Have as many as you like! In fact, if you dare, have a frozen, slightly salted rim margarita for me too! (maybe one day I won’t be nursing anymore…..)
Just as long as you can get up tomorrow and tell us who the winner is!
So I guess this means I’m not getting the Anne Taintor stuff?
Yes, Prince…I now have my eldest enrolled at SMU for the Fall of 2020…thanks for that…Shauna loves you Prince.
Hey, you can still pick me! I may be QB’s QM, but I won’t tell her!
I see that you entered Lisa B’s bloggy installation package giveaway and I just wanted to let you know that I’ve got one too up until Sunday night! (You said you entered two like that, so one could be mine, in which, I’m really just being pouty because she got a link and i didn’t….lol) So head on over! (We didn’t plan to give the same thing away, we’re just wired like that… I think we’ve been friends for too long!)
and now? i am happy. I can’t tell you how happy. I feel loved. I feel special. I feel so… tired. There was just too much bloggy excitement for me this week…
I didnt really get off the computer. I have issues. And I am sleepy! You need to go visit my design blog – i just gave it a little makeover schmakeover. so pretty!
