11,673 Comments
Three years of blogging. Who ever thought I'd have lasted. I've seen a lot of bloggers arrive with good intentions and then slowly (or abruptly) fizzle into nothingness the past three years. While others, like myself, just can't seem to let go. We are still posting and enjoying the comments despite Plurk, Facebook, Twitter, and whatever latest gimmick has the on-line universe in a dither.
Well, since I'm still a solid blogger I decided to do some prizing on my bloggiversary....that's right....let me repeat....
PRIZES
And not just ONE Prize - oh no....I am feeling especially giftful today. I am going to give THREE Prizes. (kind of like trillion, but with less zeros)
Tell me how excited you are.....
And what are these prizes, and how can I win them, you might ask.
PRIZE #1 - one of my most favorite things in the world.......CHOCOLATE.
Oh yes - I have chosen, specifically for one lucky commenter, an assortment of chocolates produced right here in Oregon. Yummy Yummy Yummy. Anyone can win this - I'll even send these delectable chocolates OVERSEAS. So, come on you people in Antarctica - comment and win.
PRIZE #2 - Another one of my favorite things in the world......ICE CREAM.
silly - I'm not going to mail you the cold stuff....instead I'll slip a small $10 Gift Certificate to Cold Stone Creamery in an envelope and have the reliable United States Post Office deliver this scrumptiousness to your door. Sorry, only those living in the U.S. can win this prize. (If Canadians can use US gift certificates I'll include them).
PRIZE #3 - Another one of my favorite things in the world.......BOOKS.
I know my taste in books is not necessarily up everyone's alley. So, once again, I'm going to save on postage and send a $20 Gift Certificate to Barnes & Noble to one lucky commenter. Once again, only those living in the U.S. can win this prize.
HOW TO WIN -
Easy peasy - JUST LEAVE A COMMENT.....and because I've got 3 prizes - you can leave THREE COMMENTS. Leave one today, come back tomorrow and then the next day. Tell me a story, write me a poem, inform me how silly I look with a birch seed pod on my lip, Heck, wish me a happy bloggiversary and tell me how great I am.
OTHER IMPORTANT MATTERS -
This contest ends 11:59pm SUNDAY, MARCH 22, 2009 (PDT) (because I am leaving on Saturday for the beach and won't be around to pick a winner until Wednesday - so don't freak out and think I've abandoned this blog and contest)
Winners will be announced WEDNESDAY, March 25th, 2009. Winners will be chosen randomly. (if someone not living in the US is chosen for the U.S. prizes, I will choose randomly again.) I'm not doing the random integer generator thingy-ma-bob....but instead it will be "children's hands reaching into a bowl" type drawing.
And if, by chance, we reach my 12,000 comment sometime within all this madness - I will REWARD ANOTHER PRIZE which will be announced with the winners.
SO - HAPPY COMMENTING EVERYONE AND I'LL BE BACK NEXT WEEK WITH THE RESULTS.
