Personal & Life Updates

[Free!] Prizes!

Filed Under: Personal & Life Updates Leave a Comment

I’m really, really good at procrastinating.

That’s the only excuse I have for putting off my Pay It Forward contest for OVER A MONTH. (Maybe it’s laziness…?)

Regardless, IT’S HERE!

Yes, friends – you have the opportunity to get a package shipped by yours truly to your home or workplace. :) I’ve been stockpiling goods for the last month when I’ve gone to Yellow Springs, so you just know it’s some good stuff. So good, in fact, that I’m going to make WORK for it.

Remember that silly ice breaker game, Two Truths and A Lie? Actually, I was always awful at that game. I’d quickly say two truths and then spend a minute pondering a lie. It was PRETTY OBVIOUS.

(For those of you who don’t know how to play: I’m going to state three things about myself – you have to guess which one is the lie.)

You know me pretty well by now, so I think it’s time to play and test yourself.

1. I’ve ridden an elephant in the jungle.
2. I’ve been skydiving. And I wasn’t nervous at all.
3. I’ve ridden in the Goodyear Blimp (My dad works for the company!)

Rules:

  • Leave a comment with your guess by 6 pm Sunday, June 22nd – anyone and everyone is welcome to!
  • Two lucky winners will get a fun package in the mail (I pledge to you I will mail it out in less than a week afterwards!)
  • Pay It Forward yourself… :)

________________________
Side note:
I am far, far behind in my Google Reader (that’s what a fantastic weekend gets you, I guess!) I will do my best to catch up, but please be patient with me. I leave work in two weeks and have SO MUCH to do. Eeek! So sorry, I’ll be back soon!

    I’m going to guess that number two is the lie. because I know if I were about to jump out of an airplane I would be piss-my-pants nervous :)

    I think that #2 is a lie just because I can’t imagine not being nervous about jumping out of a plane.

    Everyoneee is saying
    number 2. And since
    I’m new to your blog, I
    don’t have the slightest
    clue as to what you’ve
    done and haven’t.

    I am going to say numbaaa
    1. Even though you probably
    totally rode an elephant
    in the jungle…which way
    rad if you did. Holla.

    Hmm. I’m going to say #2 is still on your “to-do” list.

    I don’t wanna sound like a broken record, but number 2 does sound unlikely :) Although jumping out of an airplane has always been a dream of mine – said the girl who’s scared of heights!
