We Need To Have A Moment

Because this is the first time in 2008 that this has happened:

SOMEBODY HOLLA ONE TIME.

And really, it’s not that I get so much email.

It’s just that I still haven’t really figured out how to stay organized with the email. And I’m a perfectionist. So I want to answer everything, but then I get behind on answering stuff after a few days, and then I’m like, Oh, I’ll never be able to achieve my unrealistic standard, and so then I just eat some fried chicken and watch Bravo.

My interpersonal communication skills are impressive, are they not?

But for the rest of tonight, I’m going to bask in that big fat zero, oh yes ma’am I am.

And I’m going to eat some apple pie.

And, you know, watch Bravo.

Thank you and have a lovely evening.

– So yesterday a certain recipe came to my attention. And y’all, I jumped in my chair when I saw it. YOU HAVE TO SEE IT, TOO (I mean, clearly Snickers would make it even better, but still).

– And this recipe? Just hand me a fork and we’ll call it supper.

– Over at all access, I’m talking about a conspiracy.

Kohl’s Gift Card Giveaway

Now I know – I KNOW – that lately there have been more giveaways than usual around these bloggy parts. But since it’s Christmas, and since the economy has, um, taken a bit of a hit this year, I’ve been a little more giveaway-ish than I normally am. Because I figure that every little bit helps, you know?

So when the people from Kohl’s asked if I might like to give away a gift card, I was all, “OKAY!” I know lots of y’all are dedicated Kohl’s shoppers and can work a Kohl’s coupon like nobody’s sweet business, so I thought a little Kohl’s cheer was definitely in order.

The Kohl’s people also told me that they have a handy little widget you can download straight to your desktop so that you get up-to-the-minute information on all the latest deals. If you’re interested in the widget, you can download it right here; it’ll look just like this on your computer:

As you can see, it is quite fancy.

Anyway, if you’d like to win a $50 Kohl’s gift card, you have to do three things:

1. Click over to the Kohl’s website.
2. Look around.
3. Come back here and leave a comment telling what you’d buy with the gift card.

Now isn’t that just as easy as can be?

This giveaway will only be open until Thursday, December 11 at noon central time, so get to clickin’, internets!

Have fun!

This giveaway is now closed.
