...one hundred...

One hundred posts. 

I have to say, I never really expected this to happen.  I have a tendency to get really excited about things, only to lose interest after a few days, weeks or months.  Whether it be scrapbooking, dieting, being a lawyer, or running*, my initial enthusiasm always fades. 

But not this time.  I love blogging.  And I enjoy it more today than when I wrote my first post six months ago.  And that's because of all of you who read & comment.  You make this so much fun!  I love reading your blogs and your comments, and have so enjoyed getting to know all of you. 

So, on the occasion of my 100th post, I'd like to say thank you.  In my six months in this blogging world, I've learned a few things. One of which is this - there's no better way to say "thank you" than a giveaway! 

One lucky reader will win a $20 gift card to one of my favorite places.  The best part - you get to choose which of my favorite places you'd like a gift card to!  Here are your choices: Target, Starbucks or Barnes & Noble.

Here's how to enter:

Comment on this post & let me know which one of the gift cards you would like if you win.  (1 entry)  If you were a follower before this post, let me know.  (2 additional entries).  If you're a new follower, let me know that too.  (1 additional entry).  Please make sure I can get in touch with you to let you know if you've won.  ie., if your email address isn't accessible from your blog/profile, make sure to leave an email address. 

That's it.  Easy-peasy, right?  No need to repost this on your blog, tweet it {I wouldn't know if ya did!} or Facebook it out to all your friends.  Wouldn't be much of a thank you if I made you work that hard for it, would it?  Entries will be accepted through Sunday, February 7, 2010.  I'll choose a winner at random.  (Hopefully I'll be able to figure out that random number generator you all use.  I do not want to be fishin' scraps of paper out of a bowl.} I'll post the winner here and contact the winner via email & they'll have 48 hours to get back to me to claim their prize. 

So, what's your pleasure?  Shopping, coffee or reading?

*While no longer enthused, I am still running jogging.  I'm on week 5 and I still think it's about as fun as poking myself in the eye with a sharp stick.
