Contest, Schmontest - What The Heck Is Janie Talking About?

Okay.

Nobody bit on the contest blurb.

I didn’t elaborate.

But...

ThatManILove and I are going somewhere.

For a vacay.  A much needed one.

I’ve had contests in the past, you know.

And people had lots of fun, and some received fun things.

One of my favorite contests - Some people went to see James Taylor at Tanglewood, in Lenox, Massachusetts.  You know who you are.  (I only knew one winner personally - now, I feel like I know them all!)  If I remember correctly, there were three or four couples.  

Some people received wine.   (And, I know, Kara, you’re still waiting on yours...but you put the requirement in that I had to bring it personally!)

Some people received t-shirts...from multiple states.

Some people received airline tickets.

One sweet blogging friend received some cool made in Texas wine glasses.  Heck, I’d never even met her.  And then?  We surprised her...by attending her wedding.  In Mississippi.  And meeting two other bloggers (one of which was the groom!) in the process.  

All that to say...by reading my blog, you’re getting a little taste of our Vida Loca…sporadic as the posting may seem.  I really really am still here…when I can be.

By reading this blog, you’re visiting Casa De Crazy....the House of Chaos...you never know what’s gonna happen, but it’s never boring.

And first person to guess the right answer will win something from there.  And if, by chance, you already know where we’re headed to, please exclude yourself from the contest, okay?

My next posting, I’ll give at least one hint.

Mebbe.

The Contest Winners for What The Heck? A Janie Girl Contest

The contest!!!  


I forgot about the What The Heck? A Janie Girl Contest!

Yup, that one.  

Where there were weird thingies on this green fence of a significantly popular drive-through.  

And said weird thingies were exactly one. car. length. apart.

And whomsoever puts said thingies on the green fence are (1) pretty accurate and (2) keep a pretty good arsenal.

First place prize goes to :  TexWisGirl at the Run-A-Round Ranch

Second place: Connie at Hartwood Roses

Third place:  Betty at Bossy Betty

Fourth place:  KaLynn (MiMi) of both KaLynn Blog and Mimi's Musings (yup, the girl's a multitasking, two-blog woman!)

Fifth place:  Nancy at A Rural Journal

So!  Y’all let me know your favorite store, because you’re getting gift certificates from there.  

Congratulations, y’all!!!

Oh, yeah...and the correct answer?

SPITWADS. 

At the drive-in line at our local STARBUCKS.  Oh, yeah.  Exactly one car length apart.

Now think about this.  Some kid (or kids) sitting in the back seat of his parents’ car, amassing over time some serious pieces of paper, wadded up just so, small enough to fit into a straw, which he/she happened to have handy in that back seat, to be able to decorate a fence with spitwads, whenever said parent had a cravin’ for Starbucks.

How many repetitive days?

What was the parent doing? Not paying attention to what their kid was doing?  

Never looking in the back seat at the source of the ammunition?

All sorts of scenarios come to mind, but I’m not going to go there.

By the way...after the original post, Starbucks cleaned the fence.

Oh, yeah - and Rob-Bear?  You of Bears Noting?  You get a giftcard, too, for reminding me that I’d not yet posted the winners to the contest!  Thanks so much!
