A super big giant huge exciting day for my whittle baby blog!

Today (and the rest of the week really)- just because you are a lucky ducky- you get a chance to win something.  And this something is really cool.  I have been offered the opportunity to give away a one-time-use $25 gift certificate (does not include shipping fees, but can be used on any product from one of their 200+ websites!!!) to CSN Stores!!!  They sell everything from kids swing sets to blankets to pots and pans. (and they have a rockin' clearance section I might add).  CSN can only ship to the US and Canada- so they asked that I make sure whoever wins lives in one of those two places- so consider yourself warned. 

I have never ordered from CSN- but I too entered a blog contest and lost miserably when a small toddler boy chose not to draw my name.  Maybe you'll be luckier???  More lucky?  Have more luck?  What is the proper way to say that???

Wanna win?  Leave a comment- and if you are anonymous that is completely fine (cause I've heard tale that comments on blogger don't work very well sometimes)- but include your first name and the state where ya live so that when I post my big giant winner blog we will know if it is you.  And because I have just a handful of folks who actually read my mindless dribble- you will have HUGE odds of winning!!

One entry per person, I'm gonna draw the winner on Friday 2/11/11 so you have to enter before then, and when I say I'm gonna draw- I mean Sam is going to draw.  Because he can't read.  I'll put all your names in hat/bowl/jar/something and let him pick one out.  And then ta da!  The winner gets to pick out something cool and I get three whole days of anticipation and excitement in comments on my silly blog!

You have your crack, I have mine.

And comments on my blog- they are like crack.  Can't.get.enough.

Now, mind you, I've never tried real crack.  But I've heard it's addicting, and exhilarating and you can't get enough.  It also can kill you- so see, my crack is better.  Getting a comment on my blog totally makes my entire day.  Whether it's from a friend, a family member (hi mom!) or (and this is like the ultimate!) a complete stranger!!!  A new bloggy friend!  Yay!

When I see that a comment has been put on my old blog, I savor it.  Sometimes I don't read it right away.  Sometimes I enjoy it for a while, knowing I get to read it later.  Usually I read it right that very second.  See- just like crack.  Blog crack.

The point of all of this is, today I am hoping for a lot of crack comments in the next three days.  Other blogs have lots of big exciting give aways.  This is my first, and probably the last for a while (but who knows!) That show off pioneer woman even buys her own stuff to give away.  I will not be doing that.  Some get all kinds of stuff given to them to review and give away (a far off distant day dream for my blog).  But me- I didn't get a thing, except the extreme anticipation that I might get a comment or two.

Good luck.  Go team.  Power to the people.  Ready, set, go!

(I'm nervous, like a new momma.  I wonder how this is gonna turn out : )

It's me, Ronda from down the road, the girl you talk with nearly every day. I'm a bit busy this week, so I won't have time to make it over to teach Sam to read my name, but I know he knows his. So, Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam, and just for good measure...Nick!

P.S. The Pioneer Woman's giveaways are insane. Yes, it's a nice mixer, but literally over 30,000 people have already entered. I don't much like my odds!
