I've Won!!!

I am all aquiver with excitement. My creative juices are coursing. I have just won a Box 'O Haphazard Happiness on my friend's blog. Go HERE to see how. (you have to read the first post and then go down 2 posts.)
I don't win things. The last thing I won was a flower (one flower not a bunch or a pot mind you) at a woman's retreat. Usually I put my name in the pot and watch all the others win spa packages, free trips to Disneyland, a free night's stay at a hotel, and other fun things involving chocolate while I sit and pick my nails. As I sit there I know in my heart of hearts that my name will not be called. I will not be picked. I never am. I don't know if it is a curse left over from my flannel, ponytail days in high school/college. I mean if one doesn't own a pair of heels and never waxes ones eyebrows why would she want a spa treatment? I have changed my ways (mostly..no more flannel); I own heels, keep my eyebrows maintained, and paint my own toenails, but always expect not to be chosen. I keep trying. Leaving my name here and there with no results except the mere flower mentioned above. BUT NOW....I am a winner. The excitement will keep me afloat for days. I can't wait for the box to arrive!

I'm glad I could help break your "not winning anything" streak. (You can actually thank Olivia) Once I won several boxes of girl scout cookies on a blog drawing. It totally made my week!

Oh, and you can expect your package of joy next week sometime... :)
