I’ve turned into such a slacker, huh? This stupid ole’ inner ear infection I’ve had has really knocked the wind outta my sails. Or at least, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. It has nothing to do with procrastination.

Ok, so I finally am getting around to announcing the winner of the black onyx and sterling earrings (which I still haven’t posted a pic of yet!)

Here’s the random number generator:

And if we look back at the comments, we’ll find this at #11:

Jen! That’s YOU! Please email me your mailing address just in case I’ve lost it!

Congratulations!  Thank you all for taking the time to tell me what you’re passionate about in your lives!

You’ve got until midnight to continue entering for the contest!

I love hearing the things you’re passionate about!

I’ll post the pic of the prize tomorrow (hopefully)

and announce the winner the next day!

Y’all have a memorable Monday!

It’s all in the eyes.

Can you say YIKES!!!!

I opened the front door the other night and found this girl had been busy building a web from the bottom of the wreath all the way across the width of the glass screen door and anchored to the bottom frame of the door. After my initial frightened bug dance, I realized she was on the outside of the glass and I was on the inside. Which, in my world, means…. “grab my camera!!!”

The web was huge and so intricate. I wish I could have gotten an image that showed it but the lighting was kinda stinky. I’d like to say that I was brave and got rid of her. But….. I just closed the door and left her out there, workin’ away. I checked the next morning and the  web was gone. Evidently she is one of those spiders that rebuilds a new one each night. I think she might have been sleeping in the wreath during the day but I didn’t really want to know that badly to check it, for fear she’d fall on me.

I got sick right after that and haven’t left the house (barely left the bed!) except for a visit to the doctor. Guess I’ll see if she’s out there tonight.

Plagued by some vicious migraine and ear ache this week… really wishing I could sleep the day away.

So…….. maybe I will.

Be sure to enter the CONTEST!!

It’s been a long time since I’ve had a contest, huh?

So, I was thinking…. it IS time.

When I was at the Dolphin Hotel at Disney World for a conference earlier this month, one thing stuck out in my mind. Every hotel staff member I encountered had their name on their nametag, and also, a statement about themselves.

Each statement said:  My passion is _____________ .

I read all sorts of random things in the blank ….. world travel, recycling,  family, decorating.

I found it very intriguing to read what each persons passion was all about. It’s been on my mind ever since. So after all these days, I decided how awesome it would be to ask each of YOU what your passion is.

Very simply, my contest is this:

Answer the question 

Answer it as many times as you want (as long as the answers are authentic – truly things you are passionate about), each day, in a separate comment on THIS POST. (I know that I can answer several things that would be considered MY PASSION, so I could easily answer it multiple times.) At the end of the contest, I will plug the total number of comments into a random number generator and the person who posted the comment with the winning number will win the prize! You may continue to post answers right up until August 30th, midnight. I’ll announce the winner on Sept. 1st.

Wait? Prize, you say??

Of course…. who can have a contest without a prize? This is, of course, the part that stumps me. I can think of all sorts of fabulous things I could give you…. how ’bout some beautiful black onyx and sterling silver earrings? I’ll add a pic later this week.

Since I seem to have been grumpy regarding men in general, and my sweet Mr. Lucky in particular this week, I suppose it’s time for something nice:

Do you remember the scene from Friends where Ross wears leather pants? It’s hilarious!! I’ve been thinking of it lately as I tried to find some Spanx to wear under a dress. It just cracks me up.
