Why you should enter every online contest ever, except for the ones I’m entering.

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.

  1. 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!

  2. Seriously? I’ve never won anything. Ever. You are amazing. The judges who chose you to win $1000 were right now. I thoroughly enjoyed your drawings. You rock.

  3. I can’t wait to enter. I don’t think I have ever won…anything…that being said, I better not be disqualified because I am your BFF. That being said, I love that you won $1000 and even though I am jealous…I will say that you earned every damn penny.

  4. I admit I liked the crayon drawings. And I thought, if she wins, she will suck. But she will be all cool too.

    And uh….TJMaxx? For sure that’s not fair. I won fruit roll ups. I think Karma is about to make it’s move.

    (I’ll switch you the roll-ups?)

  5. 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!

  8. Conrats….though if you really want to giggle about caulk, take this quote from my husband as he was finishing up fixing the leaky window in our soon-to-be nursery:

    “I’m going to head down stairs, whip my caulk out, and have some fun!”

  9. You should totally buy up some of that caulk and give it out as party favors…or whatever. Or better yet…take it to San Francisco to give to all your bloggin’ pals. You owe it to that caulk company….or should I say they owe it to you!

  10. Jeez. I never win ANYTHING. Except for once I won a free massage from the pervy masseuse in my gym’s fitness center. I don’t think being groped under the guise of getting a massage is much of a prize,but I’ll take what I can get.

    Ooo, I can’t wait to see your contest. I could stand to win something. I just started my own weight loss contest…All I’ll win there is my same old wardrobe I currently can’t get into. 🙂
