OK, so I never win anything! I don't even put my name in drawing or do raffles at the schools, because I just NEVER win. Dan does win...but me NEVER! I get this call this morning. It is Albertsons super market down the street and they say I need to come in and claim (our) prize. My mom always taught me that if it sound too good to be true, that it usually is. So, half of me is like, "whatever!" BUT, because it was Nancy the Manager (who I do know, by just her voice) from Albertsons, I believed it and off the Albertsons we go (kids at tow). I was a little worried they might have streamers and balloons going off when I walked in the door, but they didn't get that carried away. Nancy was very excited to see me though. She said she was so glad it was going to a "regular". Yes, everyone knows me there! I don't know if it is because I grew up shopping there and personally know 1/2 the checkers and baggers or because I am there at least once a day with 3 kids a tow, begging for a toy out of the "treasure box". Anyways, they took my picture and handed me a gift card for the amount of $500. I scored! As you can read on the sign in picture #1, you get entered into "the contest" every time you spend $25 using your preferred card. Dan says that was his $25 that won. We (my parents included) use the same preferred card because we all have the same home phone number. So, we all won, BUT I get to spend it because I was the one forced to get my picture taken and it is my MUG that is hanging on the HUGE billboard inside the store. Sorry guys! So, I am telling my friends about it tonight at "picnic at the park" and Denise and Jens offer to go over to the store and take these pictures for me so I could blog it tonight. Thanks Denise and Jens!! I am kind of nervous to be seen there.

That is AWESOME!! You have to tell us how you spend the $500. If you are needing ideas ... Maybe come and visit me in Washington!!! I love that idea.

No, Dan, I'm sure it was my $25...just kidding! Lisa spends lots more $25 than any of us, congrats! Hey, I like Marylyn's idea...since you have $500 extra grocery money, but it towards a trip to WA, you would love it there and Bjorns know how to show you a great time. It's only a 2-3 day drive and lots to see along the way. Great picture!
No, no, no! You put that money towards a plane trip to CT! It's our turn to have visitors. Besides, you and Chelsea could help entertain Ashley when I need it most.
Congratulations! You deserve it - you are always giving, so it is good to see you get something.
Hooray! Its so fun to win things. The prize couldn't go to a more deserving girl!
BTW your pic is cute :)
OMGosh! That's amazing! I'll know someone on the board in there now! We'll be sure and draw everyone's attention to it.
That is so cool. I'm with you, i never win anything either. Time to stock up with stable items.
This is so awesome! How fun for you guys. I never win either so I totally understand. You are like Queen for the day.
Yay!!! You are now one of the luckiest people I know!!! Congrats!
WOW how cool is that!! What a huge blessing in these times huh? I don't even know anyone who has won cool stuff like that! Have fun shopping for FREE!
Okay, that is way too cool! Especially since staples like milk, sour cream, green onions and tomatoes alone can bleed you dry! How fun...make sure you buy some brownies with that cash!!
Sweat :) I never win anything either. You have now inspired me to start entering contests. Enjoy spending your money.
