What Would You Do With $80?

I won the Cannonball Catholic Award, and potential advertisers are emailing me!!!!!!!!!!  How cool is that?  I promise to not go all commercial and lose that aw-shucks small town charm you know and love.

Yesterday, I got an email from a representative of CSN Stores online (the sell everything from diaper bags to  a sleeper sofa) wanting me to host a web give-away of an $80 gift certificate! 

I'll admit that I worried it was a put-on and that nothing on the site would be under $80, but there is great stuff there and you can spend the gift certificate on anything you want.

It is me, so you know I went to the shoe store first



A girl in hot shoes might need something to cool off with!




Which can lead to another kind of shopping!


What do you do to get the $80?

I hope I am considered a follower. I did something over to the right and it said that I am privately following you. Does that count? It was good to see you last night!

Love, Suzanne

Suzanne, That's one for the comment. Change it to publicly following and I'll make it 2!

A giveaway! How fun. I could definitely use some of those cute red heels. Where I would wear them is beside the point, of course.

ha, this is so funny. I was just 'fantasy' shoe shopping last night at a couple sites. I did end up spending a small chunk of the grocery budget on some cute t-straps this morning! -Loretta

I thnk I publicly follow you. It IS my turn since you followed me for a year or so. ;)

LarryD said...

I follow you, but I have to admit - those shoes would be awfully uncomfortable on me.

I'd love to get the Fisher-Price Loving Family Grand Dollhouse from the CSN site! My daughter would love it.

Sarah said...

So cute red shoes is how I get # four? I look forward to it. I love reading your blog. It gives me the courage to dream about having another child.

Sarah said...

I also posted it on my blog even though I haven't had much time to do anything with it recently and the only one who follows it is my mother.

The Other Katie said...

Oh, sweet! I follow, here's a comment, and I've been meaning to blog about you anyway, so might as well just mention this on the side, right? ;-)

Kathy said...

How fun! I never win anything, but couldn't resist trying :)

Congrats on your award!

midwestmom3 said...

I just became a follower. Thank you so much! Will definitely check out the shoes first!

Nod said...

That's one way to gain followers. I think you've really stumbled onto something here ... bribery. ;-)

It is interesting. What do you know about CNS Stores? Anyone ever done any shopping with them?

Nod said...

Incidentally, your link to CSN Stores is broken. (Double link)

aka the Mom said...

Nod- I checked them out before accepting their offer. It's an online shopping mall basically.

I've gotten a few interesting offers since the Cannonball awards. Cool, huh?

aka the Mom said...

Thanks Nod, I fixed it.

peaceandquiet said...

hmmmm, loving the shoes!! I'm a sucker for baby stuff, but those shoes are awesome!

Maurisa said...

Wow, I am shocked I wasn't already following! I am definitely an addict for your aw-shucks small town charm :-)

I'm following now!

DougLane said...

Hey, I've been following/listening to The Mom longer than any of you! (Pretty sure that's accurate...) If anyone here deserves free stuff it's me!

Rachel said...

Nope--no insider deals for Doug! :-)

Count me in. I think I'm a follower....I know I've got you linked on my blogroll (although not to this post--so I'll go over there and do it!), so I need to check the followers thingee....lol.

As to what I'd want...hm. High heels are out, thanks to a bum heel. Don't need baby stuff at the moment (as always, though, hope springs eternal!)...I'd probably end up getting something for DH, since his bday is in early June, promptly followed by Father's Day. Because I'm practical that way...but what I'd *like* to spend it on? Whew...(btw, Rebecca, I can *so* see you in those red heels. No idea with what else, but they "work" for you..lol)..

What I would get for ME? A new futon cover. For the family room full size futon. Feels great, needs a new cover BADDLLLY. $80 would juuuust about cover it...lol.
Now, off to my blog, etc etc...up my chances, if you will... ;-)

Rachel said...

Okay, I am now publicly following you (does that make me an official stalker? Gosh, I hope not...) :-)

Now, finalllly, off to my own blog, lol...

I thought I'd shamelessly try for another entry in the contest by leaving a completely pointless comment....;-)

I notice the contest has boosted your "followers" listed well past the "60" you were shooting for just a week or two ago. God job!

Think this (writing) might be something you're supposed to be doing? You deserve all that is happening now!

God Bless!
