So, I have today off of work, because of my whole compressed workweek thing where I get one Friday a month off (and every other Friday in the summer). Originally, Torsten was going to take the day off too and we were going to get a Zipcar convertible and spend the day driving out on country roads in Virginia in the beautiful spring weather.
Here are the problems with that plan:
1. Torsten has to work.
2. It's raining.
So! Here I am at home. I feel like I should be productive. Clean the apartment? Ha ha ha. Go through my closet and get rid of too-big clothes? I would, except I'm still nervous that the second I get rid of my old clothes I'm going to gain all the weight back. Make some invitations? I really want to, but I don't have all the materials I need yet, so that will have to wait until next week. Do something else wedding related? Well, of my list of wedding things to do this month, one has already been dealt with (the rehearsal dinner), one I've already mentioned, and the other two require Torsten's input.
Oh! I know! Let's pick contest winners! Can I just tell you guys, oh my god, I should NOT have asked you about contests you'd entered? Because every time I read about another contest that someone was dying to win and didn't, I felt horribly, gut-wrenchingly guilty. I was like, I want THAT person to win. No, THAT person. And so on.
Anyway, first of all, I said it would be random and I never could have decided anyway, so I used a random integer generator to decide. And also, I felt so heinously guilty about you people and all your tragic stories that I decided to pick three winners instead of just one.
So, I give you three winners, and I swear that they were randomly generated the first (and only!) time that I used the integer generator. They are: Hazel of Behind These Hazel Eyes, Swistle, and B2G of Back to Good Again! Yay to all three of you! I swear I will send you prizes that are cool (or at least not TOTALLY crappy), and I will mail them out in a timely fashion! Just email me your addresses--my email address is in top of the sidebar to the right.
Yay! And now I totally know what I'm going to do with the rest of my day! I'll be picking out prizes for the three of you. Perfect! I'm off to shop.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

This recipe sounded delicious to me when I came across it, and it turned
out that it was. Also, I've reached the point with cooking where I can make
a few ...

I thought you were going to rig the contest so I won! I thought we were friieeennnds!
ReplyDeleteKidding.
Have a great weekend!
it is not shocking to me at all that I didn't win. I think randomizers hate me :)
ReplyDeleteblast! yet another prize contest that got away from me. oh well. people need to start posting about what they received as the prize packages... i'm so curious! happy shopping :-)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a GREAT way to spend a rainy Friday. BTW, you get every other Friday off in the summers? That's darn nice, I might say!
ReplyDeleteenjoy your Friday off, I am supremely jealous !
ReplyDeleteAs I was reading the comments on your contest post that's all I could think. "Oh my God, if I had to pick I would feel totally guilty because of ALL THESE PEOPLE who never win." Which is why I didn't comment. Because I also never win contests. But I've accepted my lot in life. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHave fun on your day off picking out prizes!
I've never tried zipcar. When I live in NYC I was far too much of a big titty baby to drive.
ReplyDeleteLucky dog!
ReplyDeleteI wanna shop today!
Hey- did you get my email about the purple chocolate fountain. HOW COOL is that?!
Great way to be productive! I used to do the compressed work week to when I was at my other job. I really enjoyed it in the summer. Made it nice to plan long weekend trips. Well have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, winners! But, down with the randomizers that never pick me!
ReplyDeleteHave fun organizing and being productive today / this weekend!
My loser record remains unbroken. :) Have fun shopping!
ReplyDeleteIf I had won, would I have had to do another contest? This could have become a never-ending loop of contests!
ReplyDeleteHappy day off, happy weekend, and boo to not winning. But yay, winners!
ReplyDeleteShut the FRONT DOOR! I WON!?! Oh my gosh I'm so excited!
ReplyDeleteSHOPPING!!! Me? I get to do dishes and laundry. I'd rather go shopping.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I didn't post a comment yesterday because I didn't want to be in the drawing, but I won a horseback trip into the mountains once. It was an overnighter. Two days of horseback riding.
My thighs still hurt and it was 20 years ago.
You have a great weekend, too! I signed onto gchat when I got back from class, but you weren't there. Talk to you Monday, I guess!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteHmm. I have no suggestions as to weekend entertainment, except: sleep is good. Lazy brunches are also good. And since my other suggestion involves Torsten, nevermind. *cough*
ReplyDeleteSee? I'm bad with advice. So. Have a great weekend!
Yay for days off!
ReplyDeleteYay for winning contests!
Sorry you didn't get the day you'd planned on, but it sounds like you are all set for an adventure just the same!
ReplyDeletebummer i didn't win :( but am happy for the winners... have a great mother's day!
ReplyDeleteI love shopping for other people!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I hate it when I miss a contest. On the up side, it's hard to be disappointed about not winning when I didn't actually enter. So maybe I'm better off this way after all.
