At work I'm doing some budget forecasting (somewhere Brother Gunny just fell off his chair). So I thought I would do some forecasting in my own life, and by that, of course, I mean my blog life.
Next month, I will be running a five day series of give-a-ways to commemorate my 200th post and Valentine's day (you know, to show you all some love). Also, since I'm now working I can afford to try and buy some love here in the blogosphere.
So, I'm also having a contest to NAME THAT SERIES OF GIVE-AWAYS.
One Entry per person (seriously don't try and scam me with your 15 user names -- I'm set up to know that) naming the five days of giveaways and contests in February per entrant. You don't need a blog but you must have an email address.
To enter a second time you must have a blog that links to my blog and this particular post about the contest and also includes a possible name for the contest. And here's the onorus part...then you have to comment again lettting me know that you posted and linked (sorry but this is the best way for me to make sure I see everyone who posted back here)
The winner will be selected based on two criteria: Cleverness of the name for the giveaway series, knowledge of my blog.
This contest will be open until 9pm(CST) Saturday night. I will be through reading them and announce a winner on Monday morning.
Oh, and the winner will get a $100 gift card to Target. I know it's a little boring but I'm saving the creative stuff for next month's giveaways.
One more thing, I thought about disqualifying Beth from I Should Be Folding Laundry because she won the moola for my 100th post but since she's PREGGERS with TWINS I am going to let her play. With two kids on the way she can use all the retail therapy she can get. Cheers!
Oh, I'll be winning this contest. I'm leaving Beth in my dust! Congrats on rounding the corner to 200!

I'd name the give aways:
Who Loves You Baby?!
Also, a Target giftcard is never boring!:)

After her spelling gaff, she thought, "Maybe I'm not as quick witted as I thought!"

How about Share the Love: V-day Give Away.
I'm so uncreative and horrible at this. I just had a guilt trip by your next post (the number of looks and then going away without leaving a comment). Yep, I was one of them! Because of that uncreativeness.

"It's What You Adore: Giveaways Galore"
And oh, I found you through that slogan-whiz Beth :)

Yeah I looked PW up in my google reader the other day, actually prior to your post about her taking your comment'rs :), and sure enough, over 2100 subscribers.
That KILLS me. Anyway I have no imagination what so ever. I just know you're pretty and funny and are willing to brighten up valentine's day for those who probably otherwise wouldn't be getting much love around that very much commercialized day.
So Here's to You and your 200th!
CELEBRATE good times giveaway!
