It’s A Contest!
Posted By Kristabella on April 30, 2008
The first-ever contest here on Kristabella! And I have my reasons!
1) I’m fighting this weird exhaustion thing where I cannot get enough sleep. And no, it isn’t from Vegas. It’s actually been going on since before Vegas and I’ve been ignoring it like I do most things – the dishes, the laundry, the unpacking of the suitcase, the cats. But just like everything else, this exhaustion has reached a point where I can’t ignore it anymore. Like the cats and their incessant meowing because WHAT? You want food or something?
2) Not only was I gone all weekend and NOT on the computer at all, I also have either been spending my time sleeping (see above) or at Cubs games. We had a suite on Tuesday night with work people and it was awesome. This was the view from our box. Jealousy, you has it.
Wednesday night I went again with some other work people. How awesome are these seats? It is like living in a dream world for me to work for a company that is in Chicago and actually has these tickets at the snap of their fingers.
Granted, have I mentioned the temperature at these two games hovered in the 30s? With winds whipping off the lake enough to give you wind-burned skin? I should not be wearing a hat, gloves and a wool coat on the last day of April. Ever. My toes are still gaining feeling.
3) Jen Lancaster’s new book is coming out next week! And I’m going to the book signing! And have I told you that I’M MENTIONED IN THE BOOK? No? Well, I AM! For reals. She told me herself out of her own lips.
So in honor of Jen’s third book, Such A Pretty Fat, coming out on May 6, I’m giving away two signed copies to two random commenters. TWO! Because I’m a giver like that. And because have I mentioned my name is in the book? And that she also mentions my book club? Dudes, how exciting is that?
All you have to do is leave a comment on this post between now and Monday, May 5 to be entered into the random drawing. It may help to randomly tell me how pretty I am and that I’m awesome and oh so witty and bright!
You can only enter once. As much as I’d like 300 comments on this post, I don’t want to really write Candy’s name out 100 of those times when I put all your names into a hat and have Bacon pick two winners out.
Also, if you’re planning on going to a Jen Lancaster signing in your town, please don’t enter. Give people a chance that won’t get the fabulous opportunity to meet her in person! And see her sweat chardonnay.
But you all should feel free to leave me comments about how awesome I am anyway.
Good luck!

As our friend, Billy Joel said (about Kristabella)…
“She is frequently kind
And she’s suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She’s nobody’s fool
But she can’t be convicted
She’s earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw Bacon at you
But she’s always a bit snarky to me…”
Ok, maybe I embelished upon the master’s words, but it works!
You’re lovely.
Every morning I drink my tea and read your blog. It is absolutely fabulous!
I never win anything…pull MY name out 🙂
Looks like you had a good time. Sorry you feel so crappy right now. You must be stoked to have your name in the book eh?
