I WANT TO BUY YOUR LOVE--superfantastic blog giveaway or THE FIRST ONE.

so, in an ongoing effort in my shameless self promotion, i have decided to give away something.


2019 NOTE TO READER**
i saw that tiburon was doing it in her LAME ass blog, so i followed like a lemming and did the same thing because i was following a specific and very idiotic--though i never saw it at the time--set of "blogging rules".  made up and enforced by tiburon. massive eye roll.  it was also a big deal to have a lot of followers--we obsessed over our followers and used sitemeter to count the number of visits daily to the blog and track within a certain number of miles, where the visitor came from.  we had giveaways to win new readers and putting numbers up was huge.  i also remember the day that my blog surpassed tib's blog in followers and then she and i never talked about it again.  predictable.

i was caught up in all of this and was extremely proud when i got up to a downright respectable (but omg LAME and eye roll eye roll) number of followers.  i thrived on that attention and also loved giving things to people, so this was bound to happen.


this superfantastic blog giveaway will serve two purposes:

1: to see if i can flush some of you lurkers out of the bushes by dangling this carrot in front of your noses and see if you bite.
2. there really isn't a second purpose.
i'm pacing myself and gonna start small--i put together a few "seasonals" for easter which will be really awesome timing since this won't even end until after that rabbit blows through town, but i figure it will be like christmas day when you pull it out in 2009!! yay! for those of you who spit on seasonals, i have included a 25$ i tunes gift card and a small potted bush. russ wanted me to call it the "BIG BUSH GIVEAWAY", but, as i'm always refined and in good taste, i refrained.

EVERYONE'S a winner, people--here's a photo of the booty: (and i just said booty)



soooooo, if you are on board with free stuff, leave a comment on this post before friday, march 21st. if you don't have a blog or google account, just post under anonymous with your first name and city and state. once we pick a winner, i will post the results and you can email me your info. i will mail it to WHEREVER you are. even germany, debbie. that's the level of commitment i have to you--i am willing to take it ALL THE WAY.

OK, I have totally been inspired by your commitment to seasonals... and now feel the need to dive in head first. I have NOTHING Easter, so this would get me off to the right start. My name is Christi and I am your loyal West Virginia fan. I promise to do your booty justice. And, not to brown nose, but I read your blog everyday!

Mindi said...

My name is Rachel and I live in Sandy...I came across your blog thru Kami & I think it is so clever!!! Your blog reminds me that even though we are moms we can still be slammin' yo!

P.S. I started watching reality t.v. back with the o.g. Real World & have been secretly addicted ever since. Also, my subscribed issue of US Weekly is usually read by friday evening :) It is nice to find a kindred spirit...

Allison said...

I'm game for free stuff. By the way thanks for letting me use your potty the other night. Your girls let me in! I just couldn't hold it all the way till I got home. ( I have a new goal to mention pee in as many blog posts as possible, cause I'm classy like that!)

Lemon Annie said...

I just found your blog yesterday and I think you are hilarious! I will be adding you to my favorites on the side of my blog. I hope I am the lucky gal who gets to win the giveaway. You remind me that we can be in our thirties have kids, careers, etc. and still be fun women who enjoy life and aren't too old to say things like word to yoru mother!

I found your blog through Tiburon's blog as well. I think I might have to join in on this give away bandwagon... But my 100th pot is coming up shortly so I might just have to wait for that momentous occasion.

I am still a looser and don't have my name set up but I NEED these adorable seasonals. My strategy is by waiting until the last minute means my name will be on the top of the pile of names, RIGHT????
Pick Me! Love, Love, Love your blog!
