The Moon Must Be Aligned With Jupiter...Or Something Like That!

I, like you, love visiting some of my favorite blogs....I'd say I have about 15 or so that I routinely stop by and say 'hello'. A recently new one was guided my way by my friend, J, who has her own blog As I See It. Her little button and post regarding the very insightful, Brene' Brown, found me bookmarking her blog. (**that's where I got the sweet button on the left side that says "I Live and Love With My Whole Heart...run over there after you finish with me and get the button for your own blog!) Well, the other day, Ms. Brown held a contest for one of these sweet little fellas, and I won one!! Let me just happy dance for a moment....! I can only IMAGINE what word might be on the one that flies my way (as I think there are different ones). Needless to say, I was vewy, vewy excited!!

Another blog which I happened upon earlier this summer is Ree Drummond's The Pioneer Woman! This gal speaks my language and there is so much information about cooking, life on a ranch, just life!...and yes, can I get a 'Yeehaww!!"...PHOTOGRAPHY!! Weeeeeeeeeeeeelll, she, too, has contests, and earlier this week she held one for two of these little babies:

A Kitchen-Aide Artisan Mixer -

IN RED!!!!!

AND I WON ONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!

And out of over 19,500 entries!! What are the chances of THAT happening?? (I know, I could actually figure out that number, but I'm not using that side of my brain while on summer vacation....thank you very much!)

Lordy Be!! Good Golly!! Say what??!!???

I have to go happy dance around my kitchen.... just a second.... be right back...

I don't know how in the world this happened, because this kind of thing NEVER HAPPENS!!! Maybe Jupiter aligned with Mars, or my zodiac sign traveled through the house of Saturn, or the new moon sprinkled unseen luck down on me...who knows!! But I am excited, humbled, grateful and giddy at the prospects of two packages showing up at my humble abode!

All this goodness has me thinking that I need to give back with my own little contest soon....

think so??!!??

Oh-Oh!! I feel another happy dance coming on.... gotta go!!!!
