Another win (the big one!)

Okay so not really the "big one" if you're thinking of the jackpot on the lotto ;o)  But hey maybe if I ever bought a ticket I'd win.  I'm contemplating but if I won I don't know what I'd do!  I like my job but would I keep it if I was a millionaire?  Probably not!  I like my pets but would I pay someone else to care for them if I won? Probably so! lol

Anyway I won an iPod Nano from http://postsecret.blogspot.com/

They were giving away one free iPod Nano (16 gig) to a random follower (from their twitter page) every day of the week, for one week.  I was the first winner :o)

That's their tweet announcing I was Monday's winner.  I was pretty excited!  I'll be more excited when I receive it.  As I still have yet to receive any of the things I have won thus far.  And starting next month if I still haven't, I'll start to wonder if it was a scam and just what they were scamming lol.

Another "win" at random ;o)

So I have totally been joking lately at how I should start playing the lotto because I won another thing for TrueBlood...

Win Lafayette's Afghan  - Closed

"Thanks to the generosity of TinatheCat and Betty McKnit, we have a double-giveaway for you this week: you could win either the completed replica afghan from TinatheCat or everything you need to make your own (all the yarn, hook, and pattern) from Betty McKnit!"

So I really wanted to win the completed replica, but I won everything I need to make my own.  So now I'm going to learn how to knit!  We'll see how that turns out :o)

Such a busy Saturday

So yesterday I had a busy day.  I woke up around 7am and wandered around the house for a while, not really doing anything.  My sister got ahold of me around 9am to say they were going shopping.  They picked me up around 9.30am and the shopping commenced.  It didn't end until around 3pm to which I met some friends to go "galaxy bowling" until 5pm.  Then we went to a random mexican restaurant to have margaritas.  Only I didn't have a margarita, I had a strawberry daquiri and the waiter pronounced it wrong, which made me giggle.  Then we met up with my sister again to go to the Airborne Toxic Event.  They were playing at Peoples Court, in downtown Des Moines, IA.  It was a great concert, except that when all the teenie boppers were jumping up and down I thought the floor was going to cave in.  :o)  I have pictures and videos but I'll share those some other time.  And probably not on here since I don't know if anyone even reads this.

What would Sookie wear to a Bloody Nuptial? (my attempt)

Challenge Two - What do you wear to a bloody nuptial?

http://www.polyvore.com/tb/set?id=11836000

The link above is what I designed for her.  And I think it is very nice.  Sure I could have gone goth but Sookie was not the type to wear black or "dark" type clothes.  Unless it was her work outfit @ work.  Any other time she was wearing pretty things, nice colors, etc.. sundresses, short shorts :o)

Also Polyvore is an awesome site for decorating & compiling outfits.  I had a lot of fun on that site!

I urge you to check it out & it's free to sign up.

My Tru:Blood Cocktail (haiku attempt)

Your drink recipe must be written in Tru:Haiku.  So 5-7-5: the first line is five syllables, the second line is seven syllables, and the last line is five syllables.

Here’s an example:

Tru:Blood Cosmo:
Start with some Tru:Blood, (5 syllables)
Vodka, vermouth, and a twist, (7 syllables)
Shake with ice.  Enjoy. (5 syllables)











 Here's mine below :o)

"Tru Sunrise"

Tequila, Tru:Blood
Over Ice, Add Grenadine
Garnish, Drink, Repeat

I made one that would ACTUALLY taste good & I would drink.
Some of the haiku's I saw shared (and I don't want to bag on anyone here) would taste like utter shit lol.  I mean for someone who used to drink a ton (such as myself lol) people really ought to think about the things they are mixing together sometimes.  And I hope they don't run a bar, otherwise they better have puke bags nearby lol.
