The excitement at Chez Swine is palpable. Not only did horsey-man shit again, today is the eve of my very first contest! Have you entered? So far I have 77 entries – I wonder if we can make it an even hundred for my Journey of 100 Steps contest?

Send me an email (purlingswine (at) yahoo (dot) com) by 5:00 p.m. EST on May 2nd (today!!) with your name/email/blog (if applicable) and the words “weigh to go” in the subject line. easy peesy!

What will you win? Trekking XXL – and let me remind you of my clever use of trekking (journey) and xxl (me at the moment) – and other assorted delights! You will also win the envy of everyone who did not win! now, how can you beat that combo??

How about a finished little something?

I think this blog is turning me into a big boring goody two shoes. I will admit that I teetered precariously near this status before the blog, but now it’s official.

First I quit smoking. Now I am eating healthy, which for me means no drinking either. What next? no cursing? no nights of debauchery?? no wild sex with strangers????

f- that sh-t man.

ha! for me the wild life would be not caring about the ring in my bathtub, the weeds in the garden. I am a big yawn it’s true.

and soon I will be a stylin slim yawn! What a great response I have had to the contest with mystery prizes! And if you are reading this for the first time, where the hell were you yesterday? huh? To save you the agony of scrolling to yesterday’s entry, here are the details: Send me an email (purlingswine (at) yahoo (dot) com) by 5:00 p.m. EST on May 2nd with your name/email/blog (if applicable) and the words “weigh to go” in the subject line. easy peesy!

I have consulted some one great mind and she has said that the prize should be ……. are you ready for pure genius at work?

Yarn.

where does she come up with this stuff? that girl is brilliant.

So yarn it is! And since this is in honor of my Journey of 100 Steps, I will be putting some Trekking XXL in the prize basket along with a few other delights! : ) I didn’t even notice the irony of the XXL until I just typed it. tee-hee.

word play …. just another part of my wild streak.

a contest!

I am having my very first blog contest to celebrate a 10 pound weight loss! although at the moment I am officially down 9.6 pounds, I am fairly confident that by next week the other .4 will be off.

What will the fabulous prizes be? hmmmm, I don’t know. I really haven’t thought this through. Vicki just had a contest and it seemed like a great idea ….. don’t worry, I will come up with something and it will be good. I swear. And knitting related, of course!

Send me an email (purlingswine (at) yahoo (dot) com) by 5:00 p.m. EST on May 2nd with your name/email/blog (if applicable) and the words “weigh to go” in the subject line. That’s all there is to it!

the good news: I won a contest at Knitting Fool! although I didn’t guess what the shadow was, her wonderful mother just happened to pick my name from the hat! thanks Kristi & Mom!!

the bad news: I either have a head cold or seasonal allergies. Either way, my eyes are bulgy and my nose is runny. eewww.

the good news: D#2 has made me tea and oatmeal for breakfast. I think I can look forward to a day of her tlc – she has one more day of spring vacation.

the fiber bad news: have made no headway at all in getting those spinning samples off of the bobbin. Also I finished Lauralund – but don’t know if I like the way it fits me. Perhaps a few weeks of WW will change my mind.

the fiber good news: have finished one Oak Ribbed Sock and the other has progressed to the heel. That will be some good mindless knitting for my day in between sneezing.
