Oh hey, want to win something?

I turned the big 2 to the 3 yesterday. Ahhh, it feels good. Because in the immortal words of Blink 182 "...Nobody likes you when your 23..."

Oh wait...

I will save all the festivity details for another post because we are not done celebrating (spoiled much?) but I wanted to post a *~GIVEAWAY~* of some of my favorite things in celebration of my birthday AND reaching 250 followers AND passing my anesthesia boards- so exciting!

Me with my nummy (is that a word) carrot cake- yay for being healthy;-)


Neener neener neener, I wear the same shirt everyday and you don't....Seriously though, I love my shirt and I am not ashamed.

~Giveaway Items~

$15 Target giftcard (best store EVERRRRRR!)
$15 Itunes giftcard (you all know how I love my music!)
Mike N' Ikes
Chocolate
Box of Cheez-its (have I mentioned on this blog how much I love these things, not sure I have?;-))

Surprised that most of it is food? Me either- such is my life!

TO ENTER- you should really be a follower of this here blog.Fur reels.

One entry- let me know you are a follower and what your favorite book is (that is a hint for what I got for my birthday- CAN I GET A WHAT WHAT!)

Extra entry- Blog, Facebook or tweet (is that what you say, tweet? I still don't have twitter...) about this giveaway and let me know you did!

This giveaway ends March 30th at noon.

That's it, folks! It is really that easy.

Now, just one more thing before I sign out- please be nice to people today. I am sure most people don't mean to hurt others feelings, but words hurt so be extra careful about what you say! Not speaking from experience or anything, but maybe just maybe I had my feelings hurt yesterday (ON MY BIRTHDAY! GASP!) and it almost ruined my day...until I ate my Calzone at dinner and then everything was dandy!

That is all! Peace, love and dirty shirts!

Lula said...

hahahaha oh my josh, you make me laugh SO much. I'm having a bad day because of some mean mean mean comments on my blog but you magically happened to make it all go away just by being yourself! I laughed with everything that you said here (except the end, that's not cool and I don't know how someone could EVER be mean to you, seriously) but yeah, you are kind of brilliant. The quote from Blink 182 is awesome haha, the "neener neener neeener" and the fact that you wear your shirt a lot (HOLLA SISTA, I do that all the time) and your giveaway. Dude, the box of Cheez-its made.me.die.
Anyway, my favourite book would be The Leopard, by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa!

And umm.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY @^&#^@%@$#*&#%&#^5$@%^#*@& (that's how express my excitement online).
23 is such a cool number. I'm going to be 20 in 3 months! And I'm so mature.

ps: hope you do that handwriting thing, I'm realllll curious!
pps: words do hurt, a whole lot, and I'm sorry if anyone was mean to you! You so so so SO don't deserve that. Thank god your calzone made you feel better! I'm going to go make myself some icy-cold chocolate milk, that's also going to make me feel better!

ppps (sorry last one I promise): if this message is full of typos I apologize in advance, my dead is brain. my brain is dead. yeah.

My favorite book actually is The Voyage of the Bassett. It is out of print (so it doesn't help you much if you're looking for new things to read) but it has some of the most beautiful artwork ever and a fantastical voyage that takes you through the realms of mythology. I adore that book.
Oh, and I totally blogged about this giveaway :)

-Mallori said...

I am a follower (and I just realized that I'm slightly older than you, and that was strange to me! I feel like you're more mature than me because you're married, and I'm far from it. Not older, mature.)

My all-time favorite book ever that I have ever read in my whole entire life is hands down Little Women. But I've forgotten a lot of it so I'm actually about to re-read it.

But my most recent favorite trio I've read is The Hunger Games!
