Yesterday, I posted on Facebook, “I’m rich!” and left for work. I received the following comments-unedited thankyouverymuch:
A friend’s hubs: “share?” Penny’s dad: “Lotto? Find a $20 in your winter coat pocket? Enquiring minds…” A friend: “I guess payday.” Mama Missy’s Mama: “I’m guessing it is not money!” Molly: “PAYDAY!!!!” My aunt: “Remember poor old Aunt Nanette and Uncle Gary…lol. Seriously, what’s up? A friend: “Yay!” A friend: “Say it like Chappelle!”Obviously, the hype was because after 6 months of unemployment and 3 months of hourly wages, I finally received a nice chunk of change dumped into my bank account…you know, one that I don’t have to pay back to the Department of Education.
In honor of my very first pay day from my new job, I’ve decided to share the love/wealth and host my very first giveaway! (Don’t worry, Mom…I promise it’s not going to break the bank).
As a blogger who feels like she finally entered the blogosphere, I’ve gotten involved. I participated in my first “secret admirer” swap (and got a sweet scarf, to boot!), I’ve received and passed on sweet chain-like-but-wonderful-awards, and I’m even participating in a blogger reading event called Project Fairy Tale. Blogging seems to be a really great outlet for me to tell my story, and I’m having the time of my life doing it. I decided it’s time to play the giveaway game.

Oh! Oh! Okay. I’m guessing that the giveaway has something to do with cheese!!!!
That would be awesome.
Mmmmm Cheeeeese….
Is it a bag full of McDonald’s game pieces? Wait, is that still going on? Red hair dye? I’m so excited. I am going to tweet this post like a mad woman.
I think there’s a book in there… possibly a banned book. Huck.
I’m thinking something Disney? Maybe a Disney bookmark?
I am thinking a book, bookmark, and some snacks!
There’s gotta be some cheese in there. HAS to be. Otherwise it can’t be labeled as “Chrissy’s favorite things”
I’m loving all of your guesses! O:-)
Fishies!!! I have seen you slurp down many tasty fishies!
That’s just drunk Chrissy trying to get attention!
I’m going to guess cheesy delicious Cheetos!! 🙂
Likely some port wine to go with a parcel of really stinky cheese.
