So a while back I entered one of the bazillion blog contests out there - the leave-a-random-comment-and-we'll-draw-your-number kind of thing - through BlogHer. Mona's post about her fart-iferous household made me bust up, and I didn't even pay attention to what the prize was, I just wanted to share a laugh.So about a week ago I'm sorting through a boatload of junk email that I hadn't bothered looking at (until I realized that my comment notifications from this blog were being filtered there. Whoops.). Lo and behold, I come across an email from someone at BlogHer, saying essentially that, out of the kindness of their hearts, they'd been holding on to the prize I'd won until they heard back from me. Holy cannoli! I won something!
How fitting, that a post about farts would win me a box full of Febreeze! So thanks Kirida & BlogHer, for a very fun and sniffy little prize!

Why didn't anybody tell me about Angel sooner?
Hello.

We put up our tree the weekend before Thanksgiving. Earlier than we usually do, but I'm glad we got it done. Christmas decorations make it feel so cozy.
I'll add better pictures later. I'm too lazy trying to think of other things to talk about.

Thanksgiving dinner was a success, although the raspberry jalapeno chutney was a little too zingy I think. The Christmas Potluck is coming up at the office, and I signed up to bring a cake. Not my usual fare at Christmas, so I'll have to find something creative. Chocolate zucchini maybe? Or pumpkin?

Yeah, my creative juices are sapped today. Sorry folks.
It msut be going around...the zapped creative juices. I had nothing today...your tree is really pretty. I want to get mine up, but haven't quite managed it yet.
ReplyDeleteThanks Amber! The picture is terrible - I didn't have my tripod so I just tried to hold my breath. Thanks for visiting!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, I'm glad you liked it! I also hold my breath when I'm trying to keep my camera steady. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm putting up my own holiday decor this weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteI always sign up for those contests and I never win anything! One of these days I want a comment about farts to help me win something great like a home full of Febreeze!
ReplyDeleteOH, and welcome to the world of Angel! Back in the day I used to watch it every week religiously with my mother and sister. I was obsessed with Angel, and then while at a WAY fancy dinner for my junior prom (what a dork I know) a girlfriend and I took a stroll around the lavish hotel. We turned a corner and who was standing by the pool but Angel, his wife, and their brand new baby. Pretty sure we stood there in our obscene dresses and weird hair and gaped at him open mouthed until he spotted us and quickly fled the area. My one and only celeb sighting.
NOT FAIR! Cheesy junior prom dress or not, I would have walked right up to the guy... and said what, who knows...
