A Cowboy's Wife » Giveaways http://acowboyswife.com Family, Photography, and Finds from a Professional Texas Mom Blogger Tue, 22 May 2012 19:07:08 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 Rambling Roundup http://acowboyswife.com/rambling-roundup-9/ http://acowboyswife.com/rambling-roundup-9/#comments Fri, 04 Jan 2008 06:45:04 +0000 A Cowboy's Wife http://acowboyswife.com/2008/01/04/rambling-roundup-9/ This week feels like it flew by!  Lots of things that went on this week.  My stand mixer giveaway is going WAY better than I thought it would!  I think I have around 40 unique entries right now!  WOOHOO! 

If you haven’t noticed already, this blog was nominated for some bloggers choice awards.  I’m quite embarassed about it because I don’t think my blogs are good enough to be nomininated.  Nevertheless, A Cowboy’s Wife was nominated for Best Photography blog, Best Blog Design, and….oh gosh….Hottest Mommy Blogger.  HOT?  I don’t think so.  I have no clue who did this but if you want to vote for me, you click on those badges in the sidebar.  OH…My Wooden Spoon was nominated for the Best Food blog too by the same person.

My Scratchback TopSpots are about filled!  Thank you to all my backscratchers!  I very much appreciate you picking my blog to “advertise” on.  Speaking of advertise….I have a new ‘advertise here’ link in the sidebar, right above my FEED ME info.  I have pretty good stats for this blog and it would be worth it to advertise with me.  Give it some consideration.

I won a cookbook from my Valgal:) WOOHOO!! Who doesn’t love winning something? NOT me!  Thank you Val, I can’t wait to get my new cookbook.  You should visit her blog.  She has some wonderful recipes and started a food meme that’s fun to do! 

I’ve got another $500 American Express gift card on it’s way!!! It was shipped on Monday:)  I finally let people in on the secret on how I do this…I mean the EXACT steps I take.  If you want to know how, you can read more here. 

If you like to see other people’s earnings, then you can take a peek at mine that I made from my other blog.  I didn’t include what I’ve made on this or my other 2 blogs though.  I don’t show them very often so peek while you can.

Keep checking back because surprises are in store:D

Now I’m off to figure out how to rearrange the bedrooms for some added space.  I should by one of those big platform beds so I can use the under storage.  Do you got any makeover tips that will help me make the most of my space?

  • Driving~~Be sure to drive 50mph in the fast lane on an 75mph highway.  By doing this, you will get the horn honked at you and the finger shot at you, therefore making you a perfect idiot.
  • Fast Food~~When you’re at McDonalds, be sure to hold up the line staring at the menu for 5 whole minutes. Since McDonald’s menu never changes, this will cause the people behind you to start whispering “What an idiot, everybody knows what’s on a McDonalds menu!”
  • Husbands & kids~~When looking for something, be sure NOT to move things around or look under stuff to find it and ALWAYS say is “Where is it???…Where??..I don’t see it?” BEFORE you actually look for it.   I won’t call them idiots but…..
  • Forums~~(asker)ALWAYS ask a question that has already been answered multiple times and can easily be found by doing a search.  (answerer)ALWAYS answer questions with phrases like “Good luck with getting an answer to that question” and “?”. Both are fine examples to becoming the perfect idiot.
  • Writing~~NEVER use spellcheck! Never use any punctuation or capitalization.  ALWAYS write at least one dumb thing that doesn’t match the rest of the story.  Try to use words that you don’t know the meaning of.  Doing all these things will definitely make you the perfect idiot

    • This is my submission into Litemind’s group writing project contest.  I must admit, I had never been to this site before and found some very interesting topics while visiting.  I am now a subscriber.  Anyways, to learn more about the contest, you can simply check out his blog:)
