More Winnings in the Mail

I haven't won anything so far this week, but I did receive 2 Pace coupons in the mail for free salsa and a coupon for a free bag of M & M's. Both were won about a month ago.

So Disappointing

This week has been frustrating. It's not that I haven't won anything. I have. I've won 4 Rascal Flatts music downloads from Hershey's. Unfortunately, there's only two songs to choose from, and I've already downloaded them from previous wins. Bummer! I've also won 3 coupons for free jars of salsa. I've never heard of the brand (La Victoria) and I'm not even sure it's marketed in this area, so we'll see how valuable that turns out to be. So, not very exciting. No thrill of victory. Not even the agony of defeat. Just the utter blahness of winning without much to show for it. See? I told you it was disappointing. But, on a lighter note, it is a holiday weekend and no work tomorrow! Yay! Hope everyone has a happy 4th of July!

Honey Nut Checks

Woo hoo! I'm rich! I got three of these babies in the mail yesterday. That's $15.00. I can almost buy a gallon of gas. :) Don't forget to enter my blog giveaway!

It's a two-parter, so make sure you get both parts so you don't get disqualified!

Blue, blue, blue

My winning streak has come to an end. Nothing since Sunday. I couldn't even win toiler paper! I'm so bummed. I have to say that the Instant Win games are pretty addictive. I guess it's the instant gratification--heady stuff!

Baby girl was up most of the night coughing. She has asthma so I was pretty worried and took her to the doctor this morning, but her lungs are clear. Her sinuses are draining, poor dear. The pollen around here has been crazy.

I have to go get some rest now that she is sleeping. By the way, I have a My Space page now if you care to visit me. http://www.myspace.com/sweepsgeek

Adios!

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....

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!!!
