Yesterday I got coupons in the mail for more free Pace salsa and M & M's. Today I got an email from Dole that I'd won a $25 gift card to Bed, Bath and Beyond! Whoo hoo!

On a Roll Again?
I won 3, count 'em, 3 instant win games this morning. And I do mean "morning"--like between 3 and 4 AM this morning. That was a ridiculous time for me to be awake since I am sleep deprived already, but I decided that since I was up, I may as well try a few games. I won another $20 gift card from Coke (which is really $25) bringing my grand total so far to $100! I also won free movie tickets from Coke. And for the first time, I won something in the Hershey's Rock your Block contest. I got a free Rascal Flatts song download. Not too shabby, eh?

Source of income?
I won another $20 gift card from the Coke instant win game yesterday. What is really cool is that they actually put $25 on the card. My total money winnings to date is now $75. I've read that some people use sweeping as a means of supplementing their income. I'd love it if I could win enough for that to be a viable option. I mean, $75 is great for grocery money or other necessities, but it's hardly a living. It will come in very handy, though.
It would be nice to win a TV, also. Mine is about to bite the dust, I think, from the cracking and the popping noises it makes sometimes. I hope it doesn't blow up!
Today, I finally unpacked the sewing machine that I bought for myself a couple of weeks ago. A friend gave me a Target gift card for my birthday, so I used it to get the sewing machine. Now, if I can just remember how to thread it.... It comes with a manual, but reading it would take away the challenge, wouldn't it?
I haven't done any sewing in about 12 years, but I'm hoping the hang of it will come back to me. I want to make baby girl some cool Halloween and dress up costumes.

Rain, Bubbles and Winning
I can't believe it, but I won another $20 gift card this afternoon from the Coca Cola sweepstakes while my baby was taking a nap. Why my luck kicks in today instead of last night for the Powerball drawing is a hypothetical query rife with irony, but I'm not thumbing my nose at $20. $170 million does have a pleasant ring, though.
It's been overcast and raining a good part of the day, but baby and I still went outside and played on the porch several hours today. She just loves to be outside and doesn't seem to mind if it's cloudy. I blew lots of bubbles for her which entertains her endlessly. She also thinks I'm funny, but she's a pretty easy audience. ;) Of course, I find her even more fascinating. I can just see those little wheels turning, especially when she hears the word "no". She does not care for that at all, but none of us do, really, do we?
A couple of the sweeps I've been entering ended today, so I've gotta go find some more to enter. Hope my lucky streak lasts for a while....

The results
Here's a picture of my beautiful gift card that I received in the mail today. I'm a winner!!!
Not a Loser Anymore
On May 7, 2009, I entered the bright shiny world of online sweepstakes entry for the very first time. My hands trembled as I read the Official Rules and held my mouse, poised to strike the "Click to Enter" link. Dared I hope to be an Instant Winner? Could I aspire so high? I took a steadying breath, and launched into action. The link had been clicked. My life hung in the balance as the pretty Flash graphics reloaded. A decision came--"Thanks, but you are not a winner. Please play again tomorrow." Could there be a kinder way to tell me that I am a loser? The sweepstakes gods are so courteous.
But wait--all is not lost! This sweepstakes allows you to play twice a day and a winner is declared every 5 minutes. Should I play again immediately? Or wait until some strange hour during the day? I decide to wait.
An hour later, I sat before my computer screen, mesmerized by the pretty colors. There it was again--"Click to Enter". I heard Liza Minnelli singing in my head, "Maybe this time, I'll be lucky. Maybe this time I'll win...." I pressed the mouse. Once again I waited for the spinning color graphics. I blinked. Could it be? "Congratulations! You've won a $20 Gift Card!" Whaaat??? I won? I won! I won! I won! I'm a winner! Sing it, Liza! "Not a loser anymore, like the last time and the time before..." Gotta love Liza. And I love winning!!!
