And the Winner is......
Wow, I could not believe how many people were participating in the giveaways this week.

I had a lot of fun looking at every one's prizes and reading all the comments.

But yes, all good things must come to an end.

I used a random number finder to pick the winner, and that winner is....

Summershine.
Please email me your address and I will get your Bath and Body works products out to you asap.

Thanks again to all that participated.

The Dog Day's Of Summer

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket



I love me some free stuff. Don't you?

Shannon is hosting this AWESOME fun summer give away. Go visit her for all the details.

Now drum roll please........insert pretend drum sound here.....the wait is over.

Here is my funfabulous entry into the give away.....



I love Bath and Body Works. When my mommy patience has reached its limit I love to escape to my bathroom and take a warm shower with all my yummy smelling shower gels and lotion.

Sooo, if you win I will send you some of your very own. Of course they will be new and unused. Not out of my shower. How tacky do you think I am?

Just leave a comment and you will be entered. The kids will draw a name on Friday. All are invited to participate no matter which Continent you may live on.

Now I am going to leave you. My sister in law has been visiting the last few days and life has been full of a little to much fun. The kids have been staying up way to late and are on the grumpy side.

Lets just say she may get back on the plane tomorrow wearing a bib with drool running down her chin. She may need a padded room to detox from our kids before she can re-enter the real world on Wednesday.

In the mean time I am going to pour her another glass of wine in hopes she may forget about all the bratty behavior that has been displayed this evening.

One can only hope.

food, food, and more food
I have been thinking about food a lot lately. It seems whenever I try and restrict my intake of food I become obsessed with it. I think about it more and I seem to crave things that I didn't really even care about the week before. Maybe I am just obsessed with it all the time. I really have no idea, but I am driving myself crazy thinking about all the places I want to go and eat. Feeling sorry for me yet? Yeah, I didn't think so.

Anyway, back to my point. Really, I swear, their is a point. When Military Mommy tagged me for this meme I felt extreme happiness. A reason to obsess about my favorite places to eat. After all, I definitely would not want to offend her by not participating. Here's how it works. We are to list our 5 favorite places to eat at our current locations. Yippee! I am more than happy to tell you.

1. Macaroni Grill. I LOVE Pasta. My favorites are Carmellas Chicken Rigatoni and the Pasta Milano. Though, I must say the pork chops are awesome. If you like pork chops you really must try them. I also love Macaroni Grill for the bread. I could eat several loafs all by myself.

2. Dafne's Greek Cafe: I love the chicken kabobs and rice. My 3 year old would eat this rice for every meal. They also do great catering and they will deliver for free.

3. McDonald's: Those of you who say you don't like it....I don't believe you. Why is their always that lonnnnng line at the drive thru. When I want some comfort food their is nothing like a cheeseburger or Big Mac to help me feel a little better. I know it is weird, but I just cant help loving McD's.

4. Magic Wok: My kids call this cheap Chinese. We love the chow mien and orange chicken. The Egg rolls and terriyaki chicken are also really good.

5. My house: I love my french toast, lasagna, spaghetti, and to many other things to list. If you are in town, call me. We will be happy to share.

As you can see I love food. It is a problem. I am tagging Trees growing in Sonshine, The Preachers Wife and God's Grace in Practice. If you love food too please participate. Leave me a comment letting me know when you write your post so we can all come and visit and find some more places to blow our diets at. (OK, just kidding.)

Tag!
I got tagged this week for a meme by Irene and Lori. Thanks girls. Sounds like fun.

Here’s how it works: Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to write on their own blog about their seven things, as well as these rules. You need to tag others and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them that they have been tagged and to read your blog!

Here we go....

1. My favorite color is pink. I wear pink all the time. I have a collection of pink baseball hats to wear on days when I either did not have time to blow dry my hair or it is just a bad hair day, which lets be honest, is most days.

2. I was afraid of the dark until I was 25. My husband would travel some earlier in our marriage. I hated to be alone at night, I would sleep with all the lights on. Even when he was home I wanted a light on in the hall at night. I think one of my children may have inherited this from me. I am sorry.

3. I always wanted to have eight kids.

4. I like to stay up late a couple of nights a week just to be alone with my thoughts. I love to watch CNN or old movies or just read a book or magazine.

5. I love big breakfasts full of carbs. Pancakes, french toast, hash browns, cinnamon rolls. I love it all. Bacon too. You must have bacon.

6. I love days when I can stay home and putter around the house all day without having to go anywhere.

7. I can't sing, not a note, but I love to anyway. I sing my heart off in church, while doing housework, and in the shower. I would love to have a beautiful voice.

Well, that's all about me. I am tagging Lori, Rhonda, Jenny, Cakes, Military Mommy, and Crissybug.

Have Fun!
