In case you haven’t heard, here is how it works: I post this contest today, telling you that it is a pay it forward kind of deal. You leave me a comment (see details at the bottom) and in the end, I will use a random number generator to pick a winner. The catch is that if you win, you have to pay it forward in a contest of your own. Theoretically, we will have contests up the wazoo for the foreseeable future.
I’m not sure what the prize will be, however as my last day of work (UNTIL OCTOBER!!!!) is Wednesday, and the kiddos will still be going to summer camp a few days a week, I envision a lengthy trip to Chez Target upon which I will spend way too much money on myself and the baby, but will also have you in mind. Now of course, if something happens, and I find myself on bed rest, your prize may be a mixed CD of some of my favorite songs (think obscure 70’s rock and folk, combined with 80’s and 90’s 1-hit wonders—yes, I am an enigma) or some random
Anyway……
In order to be entered, I’d really like it if you answered the following questions:
1. What is your favorite musical? (And don’t say you hate musicals; everybody likes at least one, even if it’s Moulin Rouge or some crap like that)
2. What is your favorite movie theatre candy?
3. If you had to name 2 babies today, yours or otherwise, one boy and one girl, no questions asked, what would their names be?
If you’re against being questioned, that’s ok too---not fun, but ok---just leave me a “please enter me” comment.
Be sure that if you don’t leave a link back to your own site, you leave me your email address so that I may contact you when you win. So, GO!! Enter!! Let’s get this going!!!
**Contest is open until 11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time on July 4, 2008**

3. I don't want that responsibility! Alexander and Isabella.
At the moment my favorite musical is Jesus Christ Superstar - I just saw it at the Orpheum in Minneapolis in May, and it was FABULOUS!
I love Raisinets (?sp)...but I like almost all candy. I'm not picky!
I JUST got married (about 3 weeks ago), so I haven't even thought about kids and names and such...I'll probably have to ask Swistle for help when we finally get around to it!
