Proof that I love you guys.

Picture 13268 copy

I wrote.

I cut.

Picture 13269

I folded.

And then, I asked my son to draw a name because I was almost dead from writing all of your names.

(I hope you're happy, Kathy.)

Congratulations, Procrastamom.

Actual Content coming soon.

I just missed out on the book rampage, but I would be soooo in on the basket give away! By the way, Notes from the trenches led me here. And just so you feel special, this is the first time I've ever left a comment on a blog.
Random info: I used to be a Carni. Now I'm a room mom for my son's 2nd grade class. I guess I'm OVER qualified to run the ring toss at the school carnival, although drunk rednecks and kids hyped up on candy really do have alot in common.

Your son is adorable. Congrats Procrastamom!

*sob* I wanted to join in...... but those damn spammers stopped me.

But it is OK, some solictior in Jamaica is going to share his fortune with me. He emailed me today saying someone died and he needs me to help get the money out of the country.... so I can buy my own book ;)

Posted by: Kelley at November 9, 2007 02:45 AM

Oh my gosh. You are AWESOME! :) Now THAT'S dedication to your readers.

Posted by: lani at November 9, 2007 04:59 AM

Your son is too funny!

Posted by: ambrosia at November 9, 2007 05:00 AM

Can I make a suggestion for *next* time?? (I haven't read through comments on the other posts, so forgive me if it's already been suggested)... perhaps c/p all the comments into a word doc, then cutting, or typing the names then cutting???

i don't know. Just a thought. You ARE dedicated though. I'm duly impressed.

Posted by: Paige at November 9, 2007 05:50 AM

Now THAT is true dedication. I'm Sally Fielding it right now.

Posted by: schoolofmom at November 9, 2007 05:59 AM

I'm satisfied. I would have liked to see you break the 200 mark but this will do. You get a pass since you asked Ethan to pick it.

Hahaaaa you so hate me right now don't you. :D

Posted by: Kathy at November 9, 2007 06:09 AM

Out of kindness I didn't comment last post. One less name to write! (I deserve a prize for that, right?)

Posted by: superblondgirl at November 9, 2007 06:26 AM

My hand hurts just looking at all that!! WOW!

Posted by: Mish at November 9, 2007 06:44 AM

Paige- The reason I wrote them out by hand was because it was a deal I made with Kathy (one of the authors of the book). in order to get another book to give away.

Posted by: y at November 9, 2007 07:01 AM

Omg, you're insane. lol. Bring over some bean dip, I've got an ice pack.

Posted by: Joelle at November 9, 2007 07:13 AM

OMG, how cute is your son? Answer: so, so cute! :-)

Posted by: Beth at November 9, 2007 07:18 AM

Posted by: teachbroeck at November 9, 2007 07:21 AM

I saw my name too! Exactly how many names did you write?

Posted by: Smiling Mom at November 9, 2007 07:32 AM

I saw my name!!! It's right there in front! Squeee!

That is almost as good as winning the prize!

Congrarulations to Procrastamom!

Posted by: Jenny H. at November 9, 2007 07:45 AM

Aw, I love how happy he looks for picking the winner. And! I see my name! That just made my day.

Posted by: Kimberly at November 9, 2007 09:32 AM

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who got all kinds of excited when I saw my name in Y's handwriting!

Posted by: TamiW at November 9, 2007 09:50 AM

Aww! I found me! LOL. Super fun.

Posted by: Kyla at November 9, 2007 10:10 AM

I missed it, because...well that's a story of it's own do you think you could just write me name and take a picture so I can feel all famous and mushy like those other gals?

Posted by: Helen at November 9, 2007 11:04 AM

or even my name.....it's been a very long day.

Posted by: Helen at November 9, 2007 11:05 AM

I see me! I see me!

Holy crap, I am easily amused.

Posted by: Miss Britt at November 9, 2007 11:16 AM

:(

I don't see my name. Waahhhh.

So sad.

Posted by: Mrs Butter B at November 9, 2007 11:21 AM

wow woman!!!!

Posted by: beth at November 9, 2007 11:23 AM

I saw my name!

Thanks for doing ALL that writing!

Posted by: Les~ at November 9, 2007 11:41 AM

Next time you can enter numbers instead of names, draw a number & count down the comments to the winning number. Also there must be a random number generator on the net - tell them you want a random number between 1 and 187 (or whatever) and have the computer pick the number. If you have the guts to have another contest.......

Pioneer Woman is having a photo naming contest - as of last night there were over 1600 entries!

Posted by: Kathy from NJ at November 9, 2007 01:41 PM

Major suckage. I don't see my name anywhere. Good that he didn't draw out "Pachina", though. I'd have had to demand volume on the video so I could hear you 'splain that away!

Posted by: CATE at November 9, 2007 04:25 PM

Aw, man, I missed the second book giveaway.

But my webbed toes made the list of favourite random facts so, all in all, it's a good day in a "I'm a Circus Freak" sort of way.

PS: I like your blog.

Posted by: Janet at November 9, 2007 06:32 PM

Oh my God! What a stupid time to decide to give the internet a break and actually do some work at my job! I frickin missed this!!! I haven't looked at mah blogz for a day and a half (yes I hyperventilated a little).

Thanks Y, you rock!

Posted by: Procrastamom at November 9, 2007 08:42 PM

Heh your son really got into his job - he's got the thumbs thing going too.

    About Y
    My name is Y, but you can call me "Jesse's girl." I am an Aerobic Dancer and have mastered many moves, but the one I am the most proud of is "The Monkey." I have three kids. ALL FROM THE SAME DAD (Because, did you know someone actually asked me that question?) A 16 year old son, a 12 year old son and a 4 year old daughter who was not planned but who is loved more than words could ever express. I am addicted to Starbucks, reality TV and to getting really good deals through coupons and "club member" savings (Please, respect The Costco Card.) I am extremely competive and if you don't believe me, just ask my husband about the time I sold him out to win a game of Taboo. If you're waiting for the part where I speak of my love for walks on the beach or slow dancing in the rain, you're going to be disappointed because my idea of a good time usually involves things like "burping contests" and "doing The Worm".
