I’m off to Las Vegas this morning. Please don’t have a pity party for me as I play blackjack in my bikini by the pool with a cold Heineken in hand. I’d much rather be in a cubicle trying to breathe life into my pointless day. But, alas, Steve Wynn summons me as he does every few months. I can’t let the man down.
But, before I go…giveaway time, my friends! I can’t help it if I like giveaways. I think they’re fun. I think they reek of possibility and hopefulness and optimism. The chance to get something free!
I’ve said it and I’ll say it again. I like free things so much that if there are condoms or tampons for use/taking in a public bathroom I will shove my pockets full. And, I don’t use either one. For God’s sake people, they are free and not to be denied! One day my daughter will get her period and she will need a tampon. Hopefully not a condom because she will be a virgin until she gets married when she is 28.
In a past life I volunteered at the Richmond AIDS Ministry. As a part of the whole AIDS epidemic there were colored and flavored condoms by the thousands offered up in baskets in the girls’ room. I stuffed my purse full. I was volunteering my time and this was my payoff. I’m pretty sure I never used even one of them. I probably broke open the packs just to see what they smelled like. Mmmm….cherry. That was during my immature days.
I know this giveaway has made it’s way around the blog world, but I’m here to offer it up again.
$100 gift certificate to CSN Stores!
CSN Stores has over 200 specialized online stores featuring a variety of home goods such as furniture, home decor, house wares, fitness equipment, shoes, bags and luggage. Plus, they provide free shipping and returns. CSN even has dutch ovens (and I’m not talking about the kind where you are suffocated under the covers by your significant other’s gas – who would want to buy that anyway when you can get it for free any night of the week?).
We’re talking the real deal, like this Rachael Ray Cast Iron 7-Quart Round Dutch Oven:
Personally, my favorite item offered by CSN is this toilet:
It may be $2,100, but it would be worth every penny because: the lid opens and closes automatically. The toilet flushes when a sensor is activated. The best part? There is front and rear warm water washing, automatic air drying and deodorizing.
Ahhh…imagine coming back from a long run or bike ride and getting your ass rinsed with warm water, dried and then deodorized! Fresh as a flower!
Want $100 in CSN bucks? Do this (a comment for each):
- Go to CSN and browse around. Let me know what you might get - +1 entry
- Write about this giveaway on your blog - +1 entry
- “Like” CSN Stores on FB – + 1 entry
- Post this giveaway on your FB page – + 1 entry
- Become a follower of my blog if you’re not already.
Good luck! Giveaway ends Tuesday, August 2nd.
The fine print:
- CSN Stores provided this giveaway. I did not pay anything for it.
- Contest only open to US and Canadian residents
- The winner will be chosen at random by Random.org
- Check back August 2 to see if you won!
Thanks for playing and good luck!
