Make Lara's Day and Win a Sweet Prize

(Red comments are Lara's edits)

This is Lara's sister, Kristina. Lara likes to occasionally has hijacked my blog when she knows it is for the better good and change my posts whenever I ask her to or even write new posts for me when I've gone three weeks without posting. 

Lara's  been a little under the weather the past few days and has been experiencing some major writer's block the last 36 years or so, so today is my turn to return the favor.  She doesn't know I am doing this and will probably be a little embarrassed about it. Understatement.  She may even try and delete the post. Still considering it.  I hope she doesn't, because I have a sweet giveaway. I'm only letting this go for the two people who happen to discover this post before I got to it. 


I would like to offer to ALL 10 of Lara's readers a very special opportunity. 
Leave Lara a comment on this post and, if you feel like it, become her follower and you will be entered into a drawing to WIN a $50 gift card of your choice.  You don't have to follow me and I'll still be your friend.

If you are already a follower, all you have to do is leave a comment. I do like comments.

This contest will end Monday, December 14th at 11:59 PM Pacific time, so you don't have much time. Start leaving comments now. Up to 6 entries per person are welcome. Our goal is to get as many comments as possible. Isn't that always my goal? 

The only people not eligible to win are me and Lara. How discriminatory is that that she hijacks MY blog and I can't win? Lara's kids are welcome to enter too. Go Adam!  Good luck!


MERRY CHRISTMAS!  Amen.

    6 entries per person? I have to come up with 6 different, witty comments?

    You are a hijacker in reverse!!

    It is NOT stated that Comments have to be witty. Any type of comment is welcome as long as it's not offensive.

    I did not write some of the things not written in red. As you can tell, Lara has edited the post, so anything that sounds mean towards Lara was NOT written by me!
