Did I Win? Or Didn't I Win?.......

I was getting worried....I was feeling sad...I was down down down this weekend. I hadn't won a darn thing. I'm hearing all about the wins my friends had, I'm happy for everyone....but still the little girl in me is saying "What about me? It Isn't Fair. I've Had Enough Now I Want My Share!". All those click and comment drunken days that left me worn out, tired and excited like a little kid at Christmas! And nothing. (Alright, I didn't really say that, but it sounds very cool, like I'm all worn out, hair whipping in the wind, a whisp of myself, driven to despair.) Until.....yesterday. That's when SarahJensSister announced the winner of the big one! I even REMEMBER thinking 'gosh this would be so cool...need that'!

Here's what I win (If you didn't win and you like hair product, don't look, it'll hurt far too much):

1 6.8 fl. oz. extrabody Paul Mitchell Thicken Up Styling Liquid
1 4.2 fl. oz. Vavoom Gold Heat Blow-In Volume Protective Lotion
1 5.1 fl. oz. JOICO Silk Result Thermal Smoother
1 8 fl. oz. designline Wave Catcher Beach Spray
1 8 fl. oz. Kenra Root Lifting Spray

I'll post the photos of my hair before and after, did you even think I wouldn't?! And Sarah, thanks, this is a very generous giveaway. And because of that, I found another fun blog, I'll be over later. GiGi, if you're reading, you can borrow my product when you're here visiting. And don't take it personally if I need to search your carry-on when you leave. Cat, you too--no big purses when you, Gigi and I are doing our hair for our Plaza tour next month. You're still going to dance for us, right? And lip-sync? And Dawn, when you do get down here in your brand new RV, I'll share with you too. And I know you won't take mine because you're wealthy now--you're the lucky!!!! You can bring us all more! Go Dawn..Go Dawn...It's Your Birthday....

Yeeeehawww Fall Y'all!!!

I'm going to be out for a few day--I'm fine, I'm just putting my priorities where they should be....ENTERING THE FALL Y'ALL CONTESTS!

Oh my goodNESS! There are so many giveaways going down that I must focus all my attention here. This is no time to be writing posts, no no no. So for the next few days, if I typed it, it said 'thanks for the giveaway--count me innnn!'. I've got my eye on the good smelling sprays and lotions, the gift cards, the purses, totes, books, aprons, and yes, Gi, even a receipt collector. Remember last time?

Oh hey wait! I do have something here--I got an apple peeler/corer from the thrift store. Very excited, I never could break out the wallet to buy a new one at the P/C parties I've graced over my lifetime (more than a lot). $5.00! So I purchased a bag of apples and I'm fixin to peel, core and slice up a batch of Apple Betty, I am! Then back here for typing, entering contests, typing, entering contests. I figure for every batch of work I type up tonight (150 records is one batch) I should enter four contests. I have about 10 batches, so I should get 40 entered this evening, in addition to the 20 plus I'm already in!

The timing of the giveaway couldn't be better with Christmas withing earshot. John and I are doing Christmas on a budget big time this year. I think it'd be fun to collaborate with others on this--we're dang tired of spending his bonus entirely on Christmas and property taxes. We're not moving, so I guess that leaves Christmas to trim.

On that note, I'm looking at these giveaways with a different bent this time. Is this re-gifting? I'm unclear on that. Say Ethel was doing a giveaway and Myrtle wins. Say it was a set of dishtowels. Birds all over them, very nice. Blue. But say Myrtle gets them and decides the birds don't really play nice with the folk-art cat theme she's got going on in her own kitchen. It would be mean to return them...it would be silly to thrown them out. The only thing Myrtle can possibly do here is wrap them up nicely and take them to her next Bridge party as a doorprize. Right?

Is it all wrong for me to get this excited about a giveaway?
