My Third Blogiversary...And A Giveaway - Woot!

~~ This Giveaway Is Now Closed ~~

We've reached that time of year once again - it's my Blogiversary! Or rather it will be on Sunday, January 29! Can you believe that this is my third Blogiversary? I certainly can't. I would say I didn't know I had so many things to say, but I'm a Parker and Parkers talk... a lot... so I guess I can believe it. What I can't believe is that people actually read this stuff. Well, at least 10 people or so do. So thanks to the 10 of you who stop by at least once a week to catch up on the sometimes interesting and sometimes not so interesting life of me... and The Tide (we can't forget her).

The blog has actually been a good outlet for me and when I am 90 years old and living beside Jackie and Erika at the retirement home, we will be able to look back on ye ole Internet and remember all the interesting adventures I had... and they had because they are often a part of said adventures. Anyway, it's been fun and I'm glad I did it and I thank you for reading because let's face it, I don't always have the most interesting things to say.

On the occasion of this third blogiversary, I am having a giveaway (try to refrain from screaming out in excitement). I've hosted a giveaway on my blogiversary each year and each year the giveaway has been some sort of book by The Pioneer Woman (y'all know I love her!). Well, this year is no exception in that regard. In honor of my third blogiversary, I am giving away a copy of The Pioneer Woman's new cookbook which comes out in March. Let me emphasize this point once more...the book comes out in March. So, whoever the winner is will have to wait for about six weeks before they reap the rewards of their winnings. The book is set to be released on March 13 (voting day here in Alabama) and I have pre-ordered a copy for the winner. So, once the book arrives at my home, I will promptly ship it or deliver it to the winner. Remember, this will be in March. I only emphasize this over and over again because I don't want the winner to be disappointed when he/she doesn't receive a gift right away.

So, here are the rules - leave a comment! That's pretty simple, huh? As always for the blogiversary giveaway, just leave a comment letting me know what type of posts you would like to see this year or what type of posts you have enjoyed, or what you hate about my random ramblings, or you know, just something. By leaving a comment you will be entered for the contest. This contest will run through the weekend and I will announce the winner on Sunday night. No entries after 9:00 p.m. Central time on Sunday evening, At that time, I'll collect all the names/numbers and use random.org to determine the winner; then I will announce the winner on ye old blog and then in March I will ship the winner his/her winnings. OK, any questions? Good luck everyone and thank you a million times over for stopping by!

Given my luck with giveways, I'm sure I won't be chosen, but you know I can't resist the opportunity to add another cookbook to my collection!
I have really enjoyed your random posts of late - particuarly the last couple of days. I guess I like the numbered lists :)
Can't wait to see who wins!!!!

Sweet! Congrats on 3 wonderful years of blogging! By the way I really like your random rambling posts. They crack me up! Oh and I would like to see a post tipping. Not cows but waiters, car washers, manicurists etc...

Jackie said...

That should say "about tipping" not just "post tipping". Do I get entered twice since I left 2 comments:)

Congratulations on your Blogiversary! I have so enjoyed keeping up with you, The Tide and the entire Parker family through your blog. Even though I rarely see you, I feel like I'm still in the Natasha loop!

Good luck to all the other entrants!

And I enjoy reading everything you write!

Happy Blogiversary! Yay for 3 years. I love reading your blog, so thanks for the 3 years you have kept me entertained :) My favorite blog entries are your random daily activities and of course "Cooking in the car!!" Can't wait for summer to get here so we can see what else can be heated on the dash! LOL! Oh and since I won a few giveaways already, please don't enter me to win...I hope Erika gets it!
