I’ve been jumping up and down for the last couple of hours 😀 Wanna know why? You can go read the entry entitled “the best bad dream I ever had” over at Dawn’s blog (“Thoughts from Along the Broken Road”). Or I could just tell you!
Dawn won big at the prize-giving search site called Blingo. It’s just like Google, but they give away prizes every day to their members. I signed up way back in 2005 and won several nice little “small” prizes. I won some iTunes gift cards and some movie tickets. Tim signed up also, under my id, and so if he won, I won also. That’s the way the Blingo system works. If you win, then your “friend” wins (whoever you signed up under). WELL. Unbeknownst to me, my dear blogging friend Dawn had signed up under my id. So, if she wins, then I win. Are you starting to figure it out now? Dawn won their biggest prize last night – she had a 1 in 350,000 chance of winning her choice of a Dell Computer with 22″ monitor, or $750 in cash. She had a bad dream last night and got up to do some blog reading and surfing. Lucky for me! She used Blingo to search, and she won. And since she had signed up under my id, and she was signed into the Blingo system, I won too! I’m still in total shock. Well, except for the jumping up and down and random squealing that I do every few minutes. It’s starting to bug Tim, I think! I got my choice too, and I also chose the cash. Such an awesome thing to win, right here at Christmas.
So – many thanks to my dear blogging buddy down in Florida – Miss Dawn! Thank you so much Dawn, for searching Blingo in the middle of the night, and for winning us both such an awesome thing right here at Christmas!
Oh, and if you haven’t signed up for Blingo, click this button and sign up under me. Maybe we could both win something sometime 😀
Wow! That’s great! I just signed up under your name. Let’s hope we’re winners!
Now stop jumping and start thinking about where you’re gonna spend that money! BTW, you have my address – I’ll be glad to take some of the cash off your hands!
What a blessing! It couldn’t have happened to a nicer person!
Hugs,
Sherry
YAY! I’m so excited for you, was excited when you called me! I quit using it because I didn’t think I’d ever win so maybe I’ll have to try it again sometime.
