Happy 1st Blogday and a Giveaway!



So, I totally would have missed the fact that TODAY is my little blog's big first birthday were it not for my number one cheerleader (mom) who sent me a lovely little congratulatory note yesterday... thanks Mimi!  I'm a little bumfuzzled as to how the last year has just evaporated, but I'm quite proud of myself that I'm still keeping up with this little adventure, even if not quite as often as I would like.  

Funny reading my very first post (no pictures, DUH, what was I thinking?)... we were having a snow day the next day.  A SNOW DAY.  Exactly one year later, and it was 88 degrees yesterday.  Remember what I said about our weather being ON CRACK?  Welcome to Texas... don't like the weather?  Just wait a minute.

Interesting to realize how my style has changed as much as it has stayed the same over the last year, and how my interests are evolving.  I've found that I really enjoy writing... I guess I have always been the one who preferred writing a paper over taking a test.  But now I find myself forming blog posts in my head and then frantically looking for something to write it down, or jumping out of bed to type something up because I know in the morning I will get so busy with the business of the day that it will have completely escaped me.

A girl knows her limits, but a wise girl knows she has none... Marilyn  Monroe

And how on earth did I go from ZERO followers (well, besides Handsome Hubby and Mimi) to 765 in one short year?  Insane!  I hope I don't bore you too often, and I hope you all stick with me for another year.  I have "met" some wonderful folks in this virtual world!  As a THANK YOU to ALL of my virtual friends, those that have been with me from the beginning and those of you who are new,
I'm feeling the need to celebrate with... what else?
A GIVEAWAY!


So, what am I giving away you ask?  I had to think awhile, and I decided to share with you one of my all-time favorite products (and no, I'm not getting a kick-back, this is not a sponsored post, and I am buying this with my very own cashola just because I LOVE you all...).  

What is it, you ask?

Benefit High Beam Complexion Enhancer

One swipe of this magic potion on your cheekbones gives you that lovely pregnancy glow (ok, I was more green than glowing, but I know you're SUPPOSED to glow) without having to change diapers or pay college tuition.  You will have the perfect amount of sparkle, without looking like an 8 year old that got crazy with the body glitter.  

And all you have to do to enter to win this little bottle of magic?
