CHECK THIS OUT!!!

I WON THE $250 TARGET GIFT CARD
FROM AUDS AT
BARKING MAD!!!!

I’M FREAKING OUT!!!!

NO WAY!!!

Wait…now what did I say I would do if I won? OH!
JUMP right OUT of my SKIN!
(I totally did that and it terrified my children!)

THANK YOU, AUDS!!!

I can’t decide what I’m going to do.
Should I stock up on diapers and wipes and toilet paper and ranch dressing?
Or should I blow it on fun stuff? Or both?

OR, I could buy stuff for other people!

Oh….this is gonna be FUN!!!!

THAT is a sweet prize! Wow! I vote that you buy yourself something practical yet fabulous that you’d never otherwise purchase.

Deb March 5, 2009 at 8:44 am

congrats, girl! i say you split it in half, and use the first half for supplies and the second half for FUN! and be sure to include some sunscreen so your organs and bones don’t get damaged by those awful UVA/UVB rays!

Rach@In His Hands March 5, 2009 at 8:49 am

WAHOOOO!!!!!!! Go get yourself something fabulous, girl! You deserve it!

Keyona March 5, 2009 at 8:52 am

Cool! I don’t even know what I would do! Oh, wait, I think I would redo Lael’s bedroom and buy slipcovers for my couch and buy a new vacuum because mine just broke and buy some cute shorts for Lael and now I’m just rambling.

Congrats girlfriend!

Sarah@Life in the Parsonage March 5, 2009 at 8:59 am

YAY! I say blow it on yourself :)

Less Toil Traci March 5, 2009 at 9:03 am

Way to go! Enjoy buying things without looking at the price!!

minnesotamom March 5, 2009 at 9:16 am

That is super-sweet! Congratulations! I say go 50/50…spend some on practical stuff and some on nothing but F.U.N.

LisAway March 5, 2009 at 9:31 am

I am SO SORRY about the loss of your skin! I know I use mine a lot so it would be hard on me if I didn’t have it anymore.

But $250!?! That is HUGE!! I’m not sure what you should spend it on, but you can for sure cross lotion and make-up off your list!

a Tonggu Momma March 5, 2009 at 9:46 am

Oh. My. Gosh!!!!!!! I so wanted to win, but I am even more happy that someone I “know” won! Yea for you!!!!!

Jami March 5, 2009 at 9:51 am

Wow! Wonderful! All those great W words! That just made my morning. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer blogger!

Jennifer March 5, 2009 at 9:54 am

Wow!! Congratulations!! That’s great news–you deserve it!!

Alyson (New England Living) March 5, 2009 at 10:03 am

Wow! Congrats! Don’t stock up on diapers. Have fun and be a little selfish. ;)

Reuben March 5, 2009 at 10:08 am

Remember that old commercial on Nickelodeon where the kid swings over the top bar on the swing set and becomes “inside-out boy”?

That was awesome.

Sabrina March 5, 2009 at 10:14 am

Wow!! That is awesome!!! Have fun on your spending spree!!!!!

Elizabeth March 5, 2009 at 10:15 am

I say, Buy fun stuff!! How often do you do that? Get whatever you want for YOU!!! And enjoy it:)

Heidi Ashworth March 5, 2009 at 10:21 am

Yay! It couldn’t have happened to a nicer person (even if you are completely skinless which isn’t too nice at all)! I say spend it all on fun stuff and stash it around the house and open it up like presents, one a week (or a day). It’s a total windfall so use it to nurture yourself! Money for diapers will always show up. Woo hoo!

Kelline March 5, 2009 at 10:26 am

Congrats!!! Do a fifty/fifty…blow 1/2 on fun stuff, and be responsible with the other 1/2!

Auds at Barking Mad March 5, 2009 at 10:42 am

Congrats again!

I think this has been just as much fun for me, hosting it, as it has been for the people who entered and eventually the person who won….YOU!!!!!

Have a blast with the gift card. I know I would.

I actually kinda thought giving up the card would be hard, but now that I know I have a Keurig Platinum Brewing System to give away, that’s actually harder. I’ve been saving for one of those for a while now, and here I FINALLY have one that HAS to be given away. *sigh*

As fun as these giveaways and contests are…once they’re over I no longer have an excuse for pathetic blog content. I’ve spent so much time reading everyone eles’ wonderful fav posts that I really need to get in gear and get back to the writing of my own. *lol*

Again, congrats!

Mammatalk March 5, 2009 at 10:55 am

I was eyeing that prize myself. But, am glad it went to such a great blogger. Enjoy!

NorahS March 5, 2009 at 10:56 am

Congratulations! That is so cool! I’d do the split, some fun stuff, some practical stuff. Have fun!

Melanie J March 5, 2009 at 11:14 am

How fun!

Lara March 5, 2009 at 11:20 am

Congrats! Now, please jump right back in your skin….you look much nicer that way, and I’m sure the Target employees would appreciate it. And have fun!

Peanut March 5, 2009 at 11:22 am

Treat yourself! You deserve it. The diapers and stuff are already budgeted in, right?

Oh, and you’re so stinking lucky, I’m not entering ANY contests that you’ve already entered anymore :)

Lara March 5, 2009 at 11:23 am

Congrats! Now, please jump right back in your skin….you look much nicer that way, and I’m sure the Target employees would appreciate it. And have fun!

Seth March 5, 2009 at 11:34 am

Please find your skin because Amber and I would love to have coffee with you and yours one day, and quite frankly, I shy from having beverages with those lacking epidermis. It’s just sort of a rule of mine.

Seth March 5, 2009 at 11:35 am

And thanks for the help.

JustRandi March 5, 2009 at 11:43 am

I would buy cute stuff for my house. You know… the important things.

OK, probably I would SAY I was going to do that, and then once I got there I’d buy cans of beans and ranch dressing.

Yeah, I know.

Kimberly March 5, 2009 at 11:51 am

So thrilled for you!

Bre March 5, 2009 at 12:46 pm

I would be skinless with excitement too!!!! That’s awesome and congratulations. I’m jealous ;o)

Tooj March 5, 2009 at 12:55 pm

At least half has to go to things you want. Anything you want. That could be smelly lotions, it could candles, it could be underwear. The rest….eh, spend it on you too. LOL

Jen March 5, 2009 at 1:06 pm

Congrats to you. Use it for FUN stuff!

Steph @ Diapers and Divinity March 5, 2009 at 1:10 pm

That. is. awesome. Buy a year’s supply of chocolate. :)

Kazzy March 5, 2009 at 1:17 pm

Wow! I say buy some fun things for yourself. You know the diapers will get bought no matter what later.

LexiconLuvr March 5, 2009 at 1:20 pm

CONGRATS! CONGRATS! CONGRATS!!!!!!

Heather, I’m so thrilled for you!!! Go barking mad getting whatever you’d like! Make sure and squeeze in something that’s just for you, ok?

CONGRATS! CONGRATS! CONGRATS!!!!!!!

Kim March 5, 2009 at 1:47 pm

Totally get some fun stuff!!! A new outfit for Blogher perhaps? Only buy fun things and HAVE FUN!!!! I only wish I lived closer so I could go shopping with you!!! SQUEE!!!!!!!!!!!

Kelly @ Love Well March 5, 2009 at 2:17 pm

Kate Coveny Hood March 5, 2009 at 2:39 pm

Honey – no one deserves it more than you.

Erin March 5, 2009 at 2:45 pm

Oh, the things you can buy at Target with $250.00!!!

Have a wonderful, wonderful time spending it!

Wendi @ Every Day Miracles March 6, 2009 at 1:48 pm

AHHHHH! I would be crazy giddy over that. WOW! I can’t wait to hear what you decide to do. :)

Target so rocks. I can’t lie. I am jealous out of my skin…

You deserve it though. SO much!

Willow Tree March 7, 2009 at 9:13 am

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer lady; Congratulations Heather!!

It may be the hoarder in me, but I’d stock up. :o)

Blessings, Carolynn

Motherboard March 7, 2009 at 11:48 am

You are a lucky duck!

I say blow it on yourself. Whats the fun in being responsible with fun money?

charrette March 8, 2009 at 10:17 am

Oh Joy! FINALLY the universe delivers on all its good karma! No one deserves this more than you. So happy you won! Enjoy! (There’s a Target by ME, you know! I think you should do your shopping HERE so we can hang out…)
