Feeding My Target Addiction
I blame Heather for enabling me. But I love her for it!
She posted about a contest over at Barking Mad, where the generous blogstress there is giving away a $250.00 TARGET CARD. Since we’re in the Depression That Doesn’t Officially Exist Yet, I’ve had to curtail my Target excursions quite severely, and it’s been making me glum as glum can be, let me tell you.
Anyway, the rules are simple: link to 5-10 of your favorite posts on your own blog (Seriously. How much of a joy can it be to toot your own horn? Answer = a huge joy. Huge!). Leave a link here at Barking Mad. Grab the nifty badge and cross your fingers.
Heather, I know that you will understand when I win the giveaway and I promise to send you some new towels to go with your Tear Drop blue powder room. 
Now that the niceties are out of the way, in no particular order, here are a few of my favorite posts:
Oh But They’re Weird & They’re Wonderful (Actually a seven part series, but I won’t post every link; it started here and you can keep going if you’re so inclined)
Special K(iss My Big Pink Butt)
My Own Private Kafka-Esque Hell
I hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane, but if you don’t, you can always go make LOLcats. Or knit. Or scrub your floors. Or something.
Now go! Enter! But know that I will win.
Ah, my darling Coco, if anyone other than me were to win this, of COURSE I would want it to be you.
But.
I *am* going to win, you know. I must. It is the only tiny possible speck of light at the end of this tunnel that is filled with paint, packing paper and moving boxes. Oh, and did I mention the barfing bug that Kiddo had and passed along to me today? In between touching up the spots Hubby missed in the tear drop blue powder room, I’ve had my head in the toilet. Bleargh. And that doesn’t even touch on the seventy-six gajillion trips I’ve had to make to Walmart in the past 2 weeks either (unfortunately, that is where we’re buying our paint, as they have the best quality one-coat paint for the lowest price). Double bleargh.
See? I *totally* need that card. I know the Universe is going to make things right and send it to me.
But I’ll get you a treat while I’m there, ‘kay?
xoxo
Oh, sure. Guilt me with your tunnel of packing and moving despair.
Fine then, missy. Just get me some lip gloss and dark chocolate while you’re there and we’ll call it even.
Oh man – I LOVE target!!!!!!!
Sorry, just to make it a healthy competition, I’ll join in – while completely understanding that one of you will win
You evil girl!
It’s OK though. Heather has already slain us both with her tunnel of despair. I gave all my karma to her.
I love me some Target, so I entered also… and I know that I won’t win because I NEVER win these kinds of things, but in case the universe collapses in on itself and I do actually win, I’ll split it halvsies with you
That’s a mighty kind offer, Sang-Shil…but you don’t have to split it with me if you win. Just send Heather some towels.
I just may be evil as well!!! LOL
I am very glad that you found me and I found you. I am both a bio mother and an adoptive mother. There’s a lot more to the story, but let’s leave it simple for now. Your writing is so evocative. I’m very much interested in the birth mother angle of things as I think of my younger daughter’s birth mother all the time. Odds are not in our favor of ever finding her. I am open with my girl but I know down the road I will be dealing with a lot of her questions and issues. While adoptions is initially viewed as “a good thing” there is so much under the surface. I plan to come back here again soon and soak in all that you have shared with the blogosphere. Write on and peace.
