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.
