Giveaways « Lucky Thirteen and Counting

Will you help me if I give you 500 dollars?

Remember when I told you how extremely uncreative I am? Well, I need your help. I want to rename this blog and I want it to be fabulous. But here's the thing, I don't want it to say anything about the number of children I have. The whole "Lucky Thirteen" name was perfect when I had thirteen, but it's just not working for me and I don't know for sure that more kids won't show up on this doorstep so I don't want it to be anything with "fifteen" in the name either.

ANYWAY..

Will you all give me some catchy names?

I am leaving this open for one week. I want you all to throw out as many fabulous ideas as you can come up with.

$500 big ones if we choose your idea.

*Disclaimer

I am aware that changing a blogs name after two years is not the smartest thing in the world, but I think I want to do it anyway. I may lose a few readers, but Brandon knows how to redirect people with his fancy wireless wizardry. I just hate that people think I have thirteen kids, because I don't, I have fifteen and everyone of them deserves to be counted.

Number fourteen and fifteen both agree!

Please tell me something about yourself. I have loved getting to know you. When I posted a few weeks ago about Bronson I wasn't in the frame of mind to wrap my brain around all the comments and emails. I have since gone back and read every word. Thank you all for sharing your stories with me. I love learning about my readers. I wish I had more time to read all of your blogs and respond to every email and comment. But I know you know how busy I am. Thank God for my Blackberry.

If you can't think of something to write, here are a few questions to choose from.

Besides your family and friends, what can't you live without?

What's your favorite season and why?

What do you do in your spare time?

Do you watch the Superbowl for the game or the commercials?

Spill your guts folks. I have all weekend to read these suckers. BUT PLEASE REMEMBER, ONE ENTRY PER PERSON.

PS- Parker slept all night long!!

STRESS

Posted by Sandi in Giveaways, Random

Just another day in paradise. Except it’s pouring rain and colder than a witches titty.

Brandon left this morning for Nigeria. NOT a PLANNED TRIP!! I am here to move by myself.

Bronson is home and seems happy to be here. (I will write more about him later.)

…and once again, I didn’t get a winner this month. Pickle picked number 21 and 28. Neither Princess Jenn nor Michelle could tell me which city and state Shaylee lives in. They got the fifty bucks to amazon for playing. Are these questions too hard? Out of desperation I picked another number and 198 couldn’t tell me where Shaylee was either. DAMN!!

I will attempt to giveaway more stuff next month.

In the meantime…. I am here just trying to keep my head above water. Thanks again for reading me and for supporting us through the rougher times.

No matter how bad things get, frosted graham crackers make everything better!

Parker picks a contestant

Posted by Sandi in Giveaways

Pickle was asleep already, so Parker stepped in to draw the winner.

UPDATE- Kristine was our contestant. She played last night.

When asked how I met Ty, she couldn’t tell me. So she only got the fifty bucks to amazon.

Sorry Kristine. Try again next month.

Thank you all for reading and playing our favorites giveaway.

WE HAVE A WINNER

Posted by Sandi in Giveaways

Olivia was my contestant and is now my winner. Congrats to Olivia. She played for Shaylee’s prize, the $250 gift card to Best Buy. I asked her what beautiful city Colby was born in. It took a little help, but she got it and COLBY was thrilled! The correct answer is CHICAGO!

YAY Olivia.

Ty picked the winning number today. When Pickle pulled it out of the bowl Ty acted like he had won the lottery. I have been trying all morning to get the video of the drawing up and I keep getting FAILURE notices. Sorry I continue to FAIL, I’m doing the best I can…..

Anyway, I am done messing with it until Hunter wakes up and figures the sucker out.

Happy Monday friends.

Since I will be busy dropping Bronson off for his first year of college I am going to need some distraction. Would you mind telling me something in your comment?

Tell me what would make your life better right now. Is it money to pay for college, a new car to get you to and from work, is it better health, is it insurance, is it a spouse or a job or maybe just a cup of coffee? You get my drift. I want to know what my readers want and need. Please share.
