I guess I shouldn't have complained about re-winning music downloads I already had and jars of salsa I can't find in the store. This week I have won absolutely NOTHING!!! Not a thing. By the way, someone asked what I plan to do with all the salsa coupons. I will probably trade my salsa coupons on Sweetie's site if I ever get them and since I've won about four of the Pace coupons, I've used some for myself and I've given some to family. I use my "money" winnings as mad money for fun things like gifts for people or going out to dinner or a movie--things I don't really have money for in my budget anymore. Maybe this dry spell means I'll be winning big next week? Keeping my fingers and toes crossed!
Toodles!

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!!!
