Oh my lawsie goodness sakes!


Guess who just won the Pioneer Woman's "Give That Photo a Name Contest?"

Out of 1470 entries, guess who made Ree laugh and giggle?

Guess who she chose to caption a hilarious photo of her dog, Charlie, with his eyes droopin' and tongue a-waggin'?

If you haven't guessed me by now, then you must be asleep at the keyboard! IT'S ME! Not only am I beyond thrilled and honored to have been chosen (she likes me!! And thinks I'm funny!!!!), I've been getting delightful new visitors to my blog all night! And I won a very generous prize to Amazon.com! (Hello new camera... oh, hello Nintendo Wii... oh, the things I could buy!!!)

Most of all, I feel legitimized as a blogger. I have arrived, people! I even got Mr. Computer Scientist next to me on the couch to finally get on creating me my own custom website!! Internetz, here I come!

Here's a picture of my goofy grin! (And yes, that is my bathrobe).

    Congrats for winning Pioneer Womans caption. I live in NZ so it was closed by the time I logged, otherwise I would have!! (hee hee - not really - i'm hopeless at captions!!) Well done you :)

    Just read your blog and really enjoyed it - I think I'll pop it on my google reader. I like your humour - matches mine I think!

    Cheers

  11. I've already said it once, but it deserves saying AGAIN! CONGRATS! I'm soooo jealous. You had a really funny entry though and deserved to win (even though I hate you right now!) I was imagining all the things I could do with that yummy Amazon gift certificate...oh the fun!!

  12. Hi! Congrats to winning the money! I loved your entry, glad you won. Your blog is cute, and as a never-ending student myself, I think we kinda connect. :) And I love eating at IKEA, too.

  17. i hope you are ready for paul to come looking for some royalties off that amazon.com bounty. Back in his college days he had a short lived mock-country band called "Hank Cash and the Dukes of Haggard" I don't know for sure if he got a trademark on the name...but i think you are probably safe. Congrats, court and i wil be inviting ourselves over to enjoy the wii any day now!
