Contest.

Let's start with the cold, hard truth.

I am addicted to blogging.  

I am addicted to comments.  

I am addicted to checking that little map thingy in the bottom corner of the blog.

Since I am unaware of any 12 step program to cure my addiction.. I need to feed it.  I am jonesing for a fix. Seriously.

I am not past bribing you to delurk.  I want to know you people, and more importantly, I want to know what you think about what I post.

Hence, the contest.  Prize: $100 American Express Gift Card.  Every comment made on ANY post from now to May 15th is automatically entered.  So, you can go through the archives and post on them all. 
(Don't worry, I have only been blogging for a few weeks, there aren't that many.)

Rules:
Only one comment per person per blog entry will be entered (so you can't go to one post and comment 15 times).

The comment must pertain to the post, you must have actually read it.

Any posts left that I deem as inappropriate or offensive will be deleted and not entered in the drawing.

On May 15th, I will draw a name randomly, so make sure to leave your email address if you post anonymously.


Is this shameless?  Yes, but addiction makes you do all kinds of things you're not proud of and right now, I'm okay with that.

I am totally not even after a gift card (though I wouldn't mind it either :)!) I just wanted to thank you for continuing to leave such sweet and encouraging comments on my blog. And I LOVE your blog design! That Shannon is amazing! I don't want to toot my own horn or anything :)--but i'm the one who talked her into starting the business. She'd only been doing her friends blogs until my blog designer completely flaked out and I begged Shannon (a stranger) to do mine. I think she is so professional and very talented. I think your choice of design says a lot about you! Alrighty--is this comment long enough for ya :)?!

I'll link you as a friend soon.

Have a great weekend!

Love the Jane's addiction playing in the background. Very appropriate! Does Twilight have a theme song yet?

You are so funny. We left So Cal in 2000 when number 1 was born to Denver and now we are in the hot south. I am totally not a Southern Belle.

My Big News and a $100.

Image
It just dawned on me that I have had some super exciting news that I haven't officially shared! You all know how I feel about the importance of optimism and resiliency in the successes I've had in my life and how important it is to pass those on to my son. Did you know my company is named "Bright Future Managment"? Doesn't get more optimistic than that! A few months ago, I was contacted by a PR firm representing Pepperidge Farm. They were interested in interviewing me for a faculty position for Fishful Thinking , an initiative that offers parents tools for fostering optimism in kids. Now, as the director of one of LA's largest and oldest private summer camps, I get contacted to participate in all kinds of things for kids... usually, I pass, as I want to spend all my free time with my boys. But in this case, the message and the presentation was so incredible, I jumped at the chance and agreed to the interview. Within the first 5 minutes of the interview I wa...

OB...No, not another tampon post.

I 'd like to start by proclaiming that I am in madly in love with my husband. In no way does this moment of "gyno-attraction" diminish his hotness and my love for said hotness. Having said that, let's begin. So I feel pretty safe in saying my OB is hotter than your OB. Okay, make that "was", because when we left LA for St. George, I had to leave his glorious, silver, stirrups. But he is worth a post. Trust me on this . Let's start with our first (and only) encounter. It was my 6 week follow up after having The Boy. My regular OB was out of town, so they assigned me to Dr. McHottie. I walked into the room with no idea of what was to come. I got undressed (from the waist down of course) and stuck my feet in the stirrups. Then he walked in. A cross between Jake Gyllenhall and Channing Tatum. In scrubs. G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. I got all kinds of flustered and the conversation went something like this. McHottie : "Hello Mrs. R." (Cleverly remin...
