a belated winner announcement...

Sorry it took me a couple of days to get this written.

The winner of 'getting to know you Wednesday' this week is M & F Mom.
(Sorry I don't know your real name!)

Comment here for me and let me know what kind of cards you want. I'll make them 'specially for you and pop them in the post next week. Oh - and I'll need your email so I can get your addy.

Congrats!

And thanks to everyone for playing. It was good to hear that so many of you really don't feel the need for a do-over. And those of you who did want one, it was neat to hear that you spoke without regret - and instead you recognized that all your choices led up to who you are today...

My do-over? It would be more travel. Much like Corey - who wished she had travelled more in her 20's. I was just afraid, I think, when I was young. And so I didn't dream very big.

But I don't regret anything. It just would have been a lot easier to see the world then than it is now!

Happy weekend, friends.

    Cathy -I have two friends on my facebook in there mid 20's who travel the world together...I see all there pic's and think of me and you - it would have been so fun (it is tanessa mcgladdery and lindsey madsen) - they just got back from uganda, they are both nurses and they have awesome pic's of their journey to paris...still believing for our 40th year travel. I have a friend who is turning 40 that year who is interested in meeting up to journey there with us - she loves the idea of pilgrimage for 40 year celebrations. We should probably begin to plan and figure the damage, eh? Chat soon.

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.

30,000? For real?

So, if you scroll down to the bottom of this here blog, you'll see that I'm probably just a day or two from reaching 30,000 hits. That's just freaky. And in just under 2 years. (I didn't add the counter until after I'd been blogging for several months...) So in honor of almost reaching that milestone, this weeks 'getting to know you Wednesday' question is this: What would you do if you won $30,000? I like this question, because it's not an overwhelming number, and therefore not brain-freeze inducing. It's big enough to be able to accomplish some nice little projects around the house, but not so large that you have to worry about your third cousins from the Ozarks showing up on your doorstep looking for cash so they can put veneers on their teeth. Answer my question this week and you'll be entered in a drawing for 30 special little trinkets in a lovely little goody box. (And when I say trinkets, I mean trinkets. We're talking 30 little lovelie

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse.
