Neener Neener Giveaway

Yes.


I get to go away and you don't.


And to that, I say "Neener Neener."


Listen:




Sheldon Cooper Neener Neener sound bite


Name that tv show.


HILarious.


Any-who . . .


Yes, I am leaving for Cancun, child-free, for one full week.


Crazy, I know.


And in celebration of that fact, I thought I would offer up a little giveaway.


My first giveaway, to be exact.


This will be my 198th published post.


Shoot.


So close to 200.


I do, in fact, have 268 total posts.


Velly Intellesting.


(Name that blogger)


Yes.


I have several previously published posts from the days of yore (like last June and July) when I used to use my family's actual names.


Unfortunately, I had a breach in security and had to pull the plug on the blog for a bit.


So, the only people who probably read those posts were the 4 people who read my blog back then.


And I knew exactly who they were:  Melissa, Sharyl, Lani, and Jessy.


Hi, girls!


Thanks for being such dedicated readers!


Don't be jealous of my 4 readers, dear friends.


Jessy, Melissa, and Sharyl are of the same kin.


And Lani is my friend.


So no need to be jealous over my fame.


You'll get your 4 dedicated readers someday, too.


All in good time, my dears.


All in good time.


And, I am quite certain Jessy hasn't read this blog since October-ish.


She may have gotten sick of me.


What?!


I know.


Hard to believe.


I am thinking that I might need new material?


Jessy?


Jessy?


Yes.


I fear I've lost Jessy.


100 (meaningless) points to anyone who can find Jessy and bring her back.


The Lumberjack's Wife leaves no man behind.


Anyways, I was trying to make it to my 200th published post and do a combination of a "200th post celebration" and a "Neener Neener I get to go on vacation and you don't" kind of giveaway.


But 198th sounds good, too.


Now, don't be expecting some elaborate giveaway prize.


PUH-lease.


I am, however, offering a $25 giftcard to Starbucks.


Holla!


And I am offering ways for you to get multiple entries.


Cause I'm awesome like that.


Leave a comment for each one you are eligible for:


1)  Just a comment for your first entry.  This can be about whatever you wish.


Can't think of anything to talk about?


Rhode Island is neither a road or an island.


Discuss.


(Name that actor)


2)  Give yourself an extra entry if you follow me or start following me in any form (Facebook, a reader, email subscription,  etc)


3)  Give yourself an extra entry if you have shared or are willing to share this blog with a friend (just pass along the link or you could blog about it)


Really.


The choice is yours.


4)  Give yourself an extra entry if you have me or are putting me on your blogroll.


5)  Give yourself an extra entry if you can name any of my little "Name that ______" questions.


This contest is open from now until Saturday, February 27th, 2010.


 I will announce the winner sometime on Sunday, February 28th.


And on that note . . .


Goodbye!


Farewell!


I will miss you!


Later, dudes and dudettes!

  2. Oooh-oooh, am I the first commenter? Do I get extra (meaningless) brownie points?

    This is my first entry, and I'm just gonna say Holla! about the $25 Starbucks gift card!

    ReplyDelete
  3. Entry 3: I have encouraged multiple friends to stalk you, and I've posted about your blog on my blog.

    (More brownie points?)

    ReplyDelete
  4. Entry 4: Already on my blogroll. On the left, under "other kindred bloggers."

  6. I watch the Big Bang theory too! And with that...I believe I am now eligible for all five entries! And with that...I now sadly withdrawal myself from all five entries. While we do have a starbucks on base, I have recently been informed that they do not accept gift cards. Sometimes Turkey is lame.

  7. I'm here! I'm here! I'm sorry for being a bad blog reader! I have been faithfully reading your blog though:) if it makes you feel better I haven't been commenting on anyones blogs lately. I'll just blame it on morning sickness, how does that sound? I promise I will do better in the future!

    ReplyDelete

  12. I have been following your blog for months. I found it by reading the comments on Erin's blog. You both are so funny and I would love to win the gift card!

    ReplyDelete
  13. #2 I follow you on Facebook

    ReplyDelete
  14. So I am guessing from the above, obviously more experienced bloggers above that I have to make a new comment for each entry? Is this true? Well, it is what I am going to do :) So here is entry #1. I made a comment. You rock! I am jealous of your vacation but also super excited for you!

    ReplyDelete
  15. #3 Now I see that if I would have read the directions in your blog more carefully then I would see that in fact, I do need to leave each entry as a seperate comment. It is early , you know! I will share your blog with a friend. A few friends in fact. Would it be ok for me to just paste your blog address as a status update on facebook? That way all my friends can find out about your hilariousness. (Is that a word?) Congrats on your 198th post! We will miss you.
    Have a FABULOUS vacation!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  16. I can't believe you post before 9 am. That's what I have to say.

  23. #1. Yes, I am one of your faithful readers. Because really, I stay home with four children. I love them dearly, but it's not an exciting life. What would I do without your blog to give me a laugh while I drink my coffee each morning? So, while I still have absolutely no idea how you find the time to blog, I am very glad you do!

    Have a BLAST in Cancun! Sleep in for me!

  29. I stand in awe of how many post you have done! You are a dedicated gal - no wonder we love you! I am just coming up to my 100th post - I will have to do a giveaway for that one too, great idea.
    I think that it is obvious that as your oldest and most distinguished follower, I am the most deserving of the Starbucks card... Don't make me remind you about the whole post I did dedicated to your love of Chocolate Raspberry creamer...........I'm just sayin....

    Does that count?

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  46. Entry #4
    Not sure what a "blogroll" is, but if I had one I'm sure you would be on it in a heart beat....does that count?:-)

    ReplyDelete
  47. Entry #5
    THE BIG BANG THEORY!
    NEENER NEENER!! HA!

    ReplyDelete
  48. I also think I am eligible for another entry because I am one of your "mean friends" who keeps you on your WW goal plus I know how much you weigh!! Hehehe! Not that I am blackmailing you or anything! :-)

    I heart Starbucks!!

    ReplyDelete
  49. I added you to my blog roll!! It took a minute to figure it out, but I did it.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Entry #1- I am jealous that you are going to Cancun, but it's cool that you are going to console me with a Starbucks card.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Try the sushi, I dare you.
    And take lots of pictures.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Entry #3- You're already on my Blogroll

    ReplyDelete
  53. Entry #2- I'm now following on FB.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Entry#4- I think Pioneer Woman does the velly intelesting thing.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Entry #1: I'm feeling very hurt because I have been following you since Julyish, and I was not mentioned. I must get extra points for that. Pout, pout. And I've left comments quite regularly! Remember? Huh, huh??

    ReplyDelete
  56. Entry #2 I found out about you through facebook, but now you are on my favorites/bookmark on my computer, and I just go straight to you everyday, because you are the only blog I really follow. Cause you are hilarious.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Don't know how many entries I'll get but you are on my "really read" blog list.

    ReplyDelete
  58. #2 I follow you on facebook and networked blogs (is that one or two?)

    You are one funny lady! BTW, I think you have more faithful readers that me. :) I might have more than 4

    ReplyDelete
  59. Entry #3: My sister-in-law, Rachael, reads you all the time, too, but feels awkward leaving a comment when she doesn't know you. But I made her start reading you last year because I talked about you all the time. I'm recruiting! Also, I've told all my friends about you because, as you know, I cyber-stalked you into being my friend. I just wanted to get to know you so bad! :) The embarassement of having to ask you to be my friend was worth it. Tell LJ THAT! HA!
    P.S. I have NO idea what a "blogroll" is. ???

    ReplyDelete
  60. Entry #4: "Name that singer". And I've known quite a few of them, too. Like Poncho and Lefty by Willie Nelson. Just one of the many, ya know.

    Also, can I say that a 25 dollar SB card is the most rocking thing EVER?? You are awesome to do that. And I'm praying that I'll win. Cause I'm selfish like that. Oh, please oh please oh please............:)

    Have fun, we're gonna miss ya!

    ReplyDelete
  61. #4.Hey wait, that "really read" bit didn't count it was my 1st entry. :) This is the blogroll entry! Go girl! I'm needin' that coffee!

    ReplyDelete
  62. 1-Don't pick me...I never go to Starbucks ;) However, I couldn't help but say that you are a mess. A good mess. I only say that to people I care about. Since Angela cares about you, then, as a friend of a friend, you are by proxy then cared about. ...there, something to talk about.

    2- I put you on my blogroll because your blog makes me laugh

    3-I told my sister about your blog, now it makes her laugh too

    4- I don't "facebook". I have only enough time to read blogs that make me laugh.

    5- I can't answer any of your questions. Most days, I have trouble remembering the names of my own children...and I gave them their names.

    PS - If I win, send the card to Angela. They don't put Starbucks where cows live. My neighbors say "MOOOO" and don't drink much coffee.

    ReplyDelete
  63. WOAHhhhh wait a minute! I have totes been following your blog for a long time and deserve a shout out.

    Also, you can Neener Neener all day long, but I am in Europe for the next three months and you in Hawaii for the next 6 days, therefore a win for me. And an easy 101 meaningful points.

    I did not know that there was no such beast as Diet Coke in Germany. There is a beast called Coke Lite, but it is not the same. It is a little bit better, but not the same. Today I went to a real life- castle. Tell the girls this. 102 meaningful points to being the closest princess we have had in the family.

    I took a cab today from a friend's gathering back to my hostel (aka brothel, 103 meaninglful points for knowing the diff). The driver knew less English than I did German, and why am I writing this on your blog? I've got my own now...

    hoping you have tons of fun in the sun and warmth. love and miss and cannot wait to see you again.

    (100,001 meaningful points to whomever misses the other more)

    Ich bin die Gewinner!!

    ReplyDelete
  64. You are on my blog roll....and Wordpress just told me, "You are posting comments too quickly. Slow Down." LOL! Maybe I don't need any more coffee.

    ReplyDelete
  65. I subscribe to you by e-mail, and I used to have you on Networked Blogs. But I don't get any of those anymore, and I have no idea why.

  72. Linda Richman = "Rhode Island is neither a road nor an island".

    ReplyDelete
  78. #2. I love, love, love Big Bang Theory!

    ReplyDelete
  79. Oh my gosh, my finger is cramped from having to scroll down past 80+ comments! So I have been following your blog for awhile - actually since Sharyl's blogger brunch that you didn't attend because you had 4 puking children so we didn't actually meet - that's when I started following you. And I'm almost as famous as your original followers cuz I am related to them - yes, I am related to those famous Williams family members. There's lots of reasons to give me points - I LOVE Starbucks - I have shared your blog with my co-workers - and I watch Big Bang Theory every week! BTW - have a marvelous time getting away!!

    ReplyDelete
  80. Have a great trip, think of the rest of us non-vacationers while you enjoy some much deserved fun....I think I have 4 entries into your giveaway:
