My brain is too full and overwhelmed to think up some awesomely creative and quirky way to start this blog, so I’m going with this sentence and callin’ it good.
Tuesday morning, at the buttcrack of dawn, I leave for New York City.
I have so much to prepare before hand, hence the full-brain issue. Read more on Swag = Awesome…
Lindsay Maddox… Laughing my way through motherhood.
(And taking submission guidelines literally.)
Remember when MySpace wasn’t ghetto? That’s when my blogging career began. It started innocently: I wanted to lose weight and thought blogging would keep me accountable. I threw in some stories of my firstborn.
People commented.
Who has two thumbs and just won a trip to New York?
*this mama!*
I. Won. I Woniwoniwoniwon. I have said that about 182,345 times since finding out Friday morning, and I’m still not sure it has sunk in.
Note: I am not singing Lady Gaga. Oh… how I despise Lady Gaga. Ridiculous, repetitive oh la la-ah, rah, rah, rah-ahaah.
No.
Thank.
You.
Instead, I am rah-rah-ing in a peppy cheerleader sort of way.
{Cue sentimental music}
Thank you, dear loyal fans, for all of your Facebook thumbs-upping, your witty comments that leave me wondering if maybe you should be writing this blog instead of me, and for your ability to put up with entering to win free stuff.
Since every decent production follows up with some outtakes… here are mine!
I’m trying to kill time with other stuff (like creating outtake videos) while I wait very anxiously for the contest results.
… can I say, “We have a winner!”
Let’s see.
How about in Russian?
Мы имеем победителя!
(Say: Mui… eem-ye-yem… pob-yed-ee-tyel-ya!)
Really, we do have a winner.
It is.
The one.

I want to give you a heads up here, and explain things, because the blog post (actually, a vlog) that will follow tomorrow has some pretty strict guidelines.
So, to explain things… I am entering a vlog into a contest to win a trip to NYC to go to the BlogHer’10 conference. I’ve been bustin’ booty on the vlog, starting with testing out the video capturing that I posted on this teaser, all the way down to bribing my kids with goodies to get them to cooperate with it. (That’s solid parenting, right there.)
Betcha can’t pick just one…
Go ahead, I dare ya.
I know I couldn’t pick one.
With all this giveaway stuff going on, I decided to treat myself to a little jewelry and immediately fell in love with pretty much everything in the Silly Little Dave’s Place shop.

This. Is. Too. Cool.
So, I was sort of randomly turned on to this company, Kandi Rae Collections and drooled over her products. They are gorgeous, unique, and oh-so-chic (and apparently make me rhyme).

Ladies and gents: This is the last week of the SMT Giveaway-athon! We have a winner from last week’s Daisy Rae Photography giveaway and later today I’ll be announcing the newest giveaway later today (you won’t want to miss this one, the next giveaway is totally boutique chic) and, to wrap it all up, a totally different kind of freebie will announced on Thursday!
Sorry for the delay in giveaway posts, I know I promised this one yesterday! Three out of my four kids are battling yucky little colds, so my day was spent snuggling, medicating, and booger-wiping.
We have two winners of the book giveaway!
So.
Are you ready to know?
Sure?
Sure you’re sure?
Okay, then.
Here we go.
(I’m just putting all this garble-dy gook in so the winners’ names don’t show up in my excerpt.)

Just a teaser… working my way up to a vlog I’m working on for a contest. (Plus, I’m avoiding the mountain of laundry we have to fold tonight.) I’m crossing my fingers that it’ll turn out the way I want it to! Wish me luck, the prize is pretty huge!
