Anyone Up For a Scavenger Hunt?

July 8, 2008 · 60 comments

Big news around these parts.  I’m edging ever closer to a blogging milestone.  And what better way to celebrate than to host a giveaway?  But seeing as how I like to be different, this isn’t your typical ‘leave a comment and potentially win a prize’ type giveaway.  That’s too easy.  I’m going to require that you familiarize yourself with my little blog here if you want to win what I’m giving away.  Here’s the deal: 

I’ve made up five questions about random things I’ve posted about in the past.  As you can see I’ve included links to assist you as you hunt for the correct answers.  Once you read each and every word find the correct answer, you have to take two steps. 

     * Send me an email with your responses.
     * Leave a comment here telling me which of the posts you found most entertaining.

This giveaway will end around 5 pm Arizona time on Wednesday, July 16th.  Once I have contacted the winner I will post his or her name here.  Obviously that means that you’ll need to supply me with a valid email address.  And please accept my apologies but I can only ship the prize to US addresses.

What is the prize?  Well, now that is (partially) up to the winner.  He or she will receive a $50 gift certificate to Borders, Bath and Body Works, Pier 1, Gap, Buca di Beppo, Banana Republic, Bed Bath & Beyond, DSW Shoes, Express, Lands’ End, J. Jill, KB Toys, Destination Maternity, Shutterfly or Sephora.  Winner’s choice.  For clarification that means winner chooses one.  Not winner chooses all.

So what do you think?  Is it worth playing for?  (I sound like Jeff Probst don’t I?) 

Survivors ready?  And go!

1)  Which MD inspired my “people who smell bad” concept?

2) Besides learning to read, name another accomplishment of This Child.

3) What type of produce mishap led to this post?

4) How old was I when I first became a mother?

5) What adult beverage did Brooke and I drink on the porch?

Yeah, so, that’s about it.  Have fun and good luck.

This Child is my favorite post, that made me want to give her a big hug.

Thanks for the giveaway!

Your “This Child” post most touched my heart each time that I read it. I look forward to hearing about her future accomplishments!

For most entertaining, I liked your “People who smell funny” post best. It was funny and I have felt this same way before. The science behind it was quite interesting.

You have really written 100 GREAT posts. Congratulations on your milestone. I look forward to reading many more!

I love “The Lettuce Post” (Hey Mister I’m a Letter Writer!). I’m with you 100% – ew.

this child was most touching for sure, but the pheromone thing was really interesting.
