So maybe you’ve heard by now that my bathtub crayon drawings all over my bathroom sink won me $1000.
No?
Well, the bathtub crayon drawings all over my sink won me $1000.
Proof that parking your kid in front of a movie for an hour, drawing all over your sink and taking pictures of it can be worthwhile.
The Caulk Judges even gave me a perfect 10. (Go ahead, take the L out of caulk and giggle furiously like Heather did when I told her.)
What does a $1000 mean in our house? So far it means golf clubs for Cody and the longest damn massage at the swankiest spa in San Francisco I can find.
I’d say it meant new clothes but since I won a $250 shopping spree at TJ Maxx last month, my wardrobe is pretty much taken care of.
What’s that? Sleeping Jellybeans? OH! Seething jealousy! Yes, I totally understand. I’m a little jealous of myself. Believe me, I’m just waiting for a piano to fall on my head or worms to start spurting out of my toes.
I’m sure blogher is all “Can one person BE so lucky?” And I say unto you-YEAH THEY CAN.
In an effort to pay it forward I will be having a little (okay, kinda huge) giveaway/contest of my own here by the end of the week. It will be sweet. You will totally want to enter.
Best news? I won’t be able to.

I have a friend who is really lucky like you. If she enters a contest I don’t bother.
I reviewed the sink/caulk post and I agree with the judges. You are a 10 in more ways than one. 😉
Love your blog!

Agreed on the lottery ticket. 🙂
I enter a lot of contests. So far, I have won two. In my entire life. They were both from Parents magazine – one was a lemonade stand that I received in OCTOBER that asked me to donate all the kids’ proceeds to charity (which I will totally do if it ever comes out of the attic). The other one was from Goodyblog where I won a kids’ eco-T. But they only had baby sizes, so I gave it to my SIL.
Even when I AM lucky, it still sucks. 😉
Congrats on your wins, though, that’s awesome!
