A Bloggy Giveaway

I don't usually post about giveaways on other blogs because I really don't try to win them.  Maybe it's because I don't feel very lucky most of the time or maybe because really. . . I NEVER win anything. 



Ok, so maybe that's not entirely true.  I did win something once.  When I wasn't even in junior high yet I won 10 yep count 'em TEN records.  Really. . records as in LP's, well really we are talking about 45's, you remember them, the small LP's that usually had on song on each side, it you were really lucky you got two songs on each side.  The kind you had to put that funny little plastic thing in the middle of to play on your record player.  I was still so young that I was playing mine on a Holly Hobby record player.
The contest was to listen to the "Top Nine at 9" on our local radio station.  Then be the 9th caller with the list of the top nine songs.  I hit the redial button about a million times.  And. . . I WON!!!  My dad took me to the local record store in the mall and I got to pick out whatever 45's I wanted.  I got 10 of them!!!




I remember only some of the artists I picked, Madonna (Like a Virgin), Prince (Purple Rain), Rick Springfield (Bruce), Sheila E (The Belle of St. Mark), Van Halen (Hot for Teacher), David Lee Roth (Just a Gigolo), Pat Benatar (We Belong), and I picked one for my dad, [ya know since he did drive me all the way to the mall] Moe & Joe (The Boys Night Out).  I don't remember the others but the funny thing is, I still have these 45's.



So since I haven't won anything since the mid 1980's I thought I'd try my luck again.  There is this blog and she is does giveaways quiet often.  I read the blog but I have never been to this particular page of her blog.  Mostly because I NEVER win anything!!!  She has a whole page devoted to giveaways, most of them are pretty nice, alot of them are geared toward people with small children (not me), but this one caught my eye.  You must go check it out!!!!

She is giving away an HP TouchSmart 600, yep that's a computer!!  And, it's not just any computer it's a pretty darn awesome computer!!!  So head on over to see this giveaway. . . make sure you don't put your entry in to win this  amazing computer though.  Because as blogging friends of mine I am sure you would want me to win this computer.  I know that you would not be selfish and sneak an entry or two or even three in there and not tell me, because you are all very very good friends of mine and would have it no other way than for me to win this fabulous prize, especially since I NEVER WIN ANYTHING!!!



Seriously go check it out.  If you put an entry in make sure you use my name . . . k?  The entry deadline is Christmas Eve. . . OMG!!!!  That's tomorrow!!!!  Hurry, Hurry,  go over there and put your my name in!

Good luck to all who enter my name!!!

Merry Chirstmas to you ALL!!!

Brian - I do have a record player and sometimes get really excited to listen to some old vinyl, then when it is playing I get so disappointed at the sound quality. Boy, am I spoiled!!! Hope you have a very Merry Christmas too!!
