Does Anyone Ever Win a Contest?

One week into this and I will give a quick update. I decided not to blog about the category of assisting someone as I feared it would look a little like patting myself on my back, so I will continue to strive for this and keep track of it, but that will be kept private. Unless I change my mind later. After all, I made all the little rules and I can break them.

As far as the other categories, refer to the lists on the right. As these get longer I might have to adjust the layout of the page, but for right now, I'll try to keep an updated log.

Today I found a funky one-of-kind thrift store where I stood out like a sore thumb, (no facial piercings or tri-colored hair) but the other patrons were nice enough not to comment on my short comings. I was able to find a cool, slightly tattered jacket that will be the foundation for my husband's Halloween costume.

I also hammered out three contest entries. This category has me a little worried, as some of them will require quite a bit of time. I anticipate entering some writing contests and some recipe contests, but for today one had me take a fairly lengthy survey and the other two just my name and address. I've always wondered if anyone really wins these things. Maybe with 50 entries I'll find out.

  1. Hmmm...I understand why you do not want to record your acts of assistance to others, but I am still curious. I guess I will have to coax some of them out of you when we are on the phone together or something.
