The McLife Turns 100!

This blog is getting old. This is my 100th post. It's kind of like the 100th episode of a television show, but with a lot less publicity.

I did figure I needed to celebrate in style, so in true blog fashion I am hosting my first giveaway! Why, do you ask? Because all the cool kids do it. And I have always thought it would be fun to do one. And my blog is old now and it can do whatever it wants.

So without further ado...I present the Amanda's Favorite Things Giveaway!

1. Wooden Hope Sign...I love me some wooden signs. They can be hung on the wall, they can sit on an easel, they even look good leaned up against a wall...the possibilities are endless.


2. Pride and Prejudice DVD...Best movie ever. Enough said. Watch it yourself and find out.


3. Books...How can a librarian have a favorite things list and not put books on it? These are two of my favorite authors.


4. Reusable Shopping Bag...Because there really isn't any excuse not to use them. Unless you forget them in your car...again (not that that ever happens to me).


4. Spring Sign...It's green (fave color), glittery (love it!), and it is a seasonal decoration (obsessed!).


Just leave a comment on this post by this Saturday to be entered to win (I'll tell you how to get ahold of me when I announce the winner Sunday). Since I am assuming that all of about 3 people will enter to win, it is likely that I will just be able to deliver the goods to you in person. If you live far away, though, I will mail it to you. So, let the Amanda's Favorite Things Giveaway commence. You know you're excited.

    When I go grocery shopping I carefully carry out my reusable bags and put them in the trunk. I am usually at the checkout counter when I suddenly hit myself and say
    "Forgot the bags in the trunk." If I were not so lazy I would fetch them but I can't hold up the line. I hate using the plastic bags because I have resolved to lighten my carbon footprint. Today I not only forgot the bags but also my list. At least it was sunny. :)

    You've entered a whole 'nother level here in blog land. I'm impressed. You are like a blog pro.

    And, I also want to win. Thanks in advance. Ha!

    Oh, when I see you on Friday (finally), I will give you your over-due bday present.

    I know this is your blog, but why doesn't Mike give something away? It is the McLife Blog. You know, something for the male reader...not to say that I wouldn't love a glittery spring sign or a slightly used shopping bag. But what about some old baseball cards or some nerdy computer stuff? I'm not saying that your stuff is sub par I'm just saying that would be some cool man stuff.

    I totally like the contest idea though!

    We miss you guys!
