Gumbo! Without the slime!

Me: “I just had the most brilliant idea.”
Brad (handing Archer to me in the shower): “What?”
Me: “If I win the Golden Minion Box of Awesomeness…”
Brad: (rolls eyes)
Me: “I can’t believe you just made that face at me.”
Brad: “What?! I thought you had a brilliant idea about bathing.”

And then I told him my brilliant idea, which I will now share with you.

If I do, in fact, win the gmboa, I have every intention of keeping it going like the Plain White Box.

So. It BEHOOVES you, my friends, to cheer me on. (BEHOOVES, I say!)

I may be fat, and I may be slow, but I can still win these Minionlympics!

So. I say here to you today, anyone who leaves a comment at The Creamery Monday through Friday this week cheering me on will be eligible one additional entry in my own giveaway of the gmboa in the event that I win it.

Additionally, if you leave a comment here, telling me you left a comment there, you will be eligible a second additional entry in my own future giveaway.

Now. There are two notable things about this.

One. I think there are only about six and a half people who read this blog to whom I am not immediately related. So. You have a super chance of winning the gmboa from me if I win it. (BEHOOVES, I say!)

Two. I realize that, if she wanted to, Swistle could totally kick my Minionathlete ass. So, inspired as I am by the idea of paying it forward*, I will also make the promise that, if I do NOT win the gmboa, I will pay it forward, instead, with the giveaway of my own as yet unnamed box of fantastical goodies. And I am a GREAT goodie-giver. GREAT. I do not disappoint, for example, my stocking name recipient. (Except perhaps when I don’t show up for Christmas this year because of a sick kid. But then I still send the stocking goodies in the mail. The recipient just misses the benefit of my sparkling personality.)

So, it’s a win-win!

(BEHOOVES, I say!)

* If it is not already obvious, I really get into these things. Does anyone else do Postcrossing or Bookcrossing? I have done both, although I am not an active crosser at the moment. (Sadly, no one has ever found one of my books when released into the wild. Wah wah wah.)

    So apparently I emailed you awhile back from a comment you left, only your address was ‘noreply-comment@blogger.com’ and it just bounced back NOW. It was all about WoW and how I play a female BElf lock and my husband plays a female BElf pally and people sometimes freak when they realize we’re married since we’re both GIRLS and yada yada about our guild and whatnot.
    And then a different time I emailed you about the RSV shot and how I think it’s only for preemies because it’s super expensive and insurances are cheap like that. http://www.synagis.com/

    Ha! THIS comment went to spam, even though a comment you left like 30 minutes before got through. Weird.

    I play a female undead lock most of the time, although I think we’re moving servers, so I’m probably going to create a new character in the meantime. I wanna try something completely different. I’ve also played an orc rogue, a blood elf something, and some kind of hunter… I clearly have no memory. I didn’t play those for very long.
