300th Post Party!!
This contest has ended. Comments are now closed to new entries. Thanks to all who participated. I’ll announce the winner tomorrow.
This is my 299th post. That means I’m only one post away from 300!!
Are you excited? I’m excited. It really is just a number, but to me it means that I actually stuck to something for an extended period of time and I typically don’t do that very often so I think it is cause for some sort of celebration.
I thought it might be fun to have a little party. Everyone loves a party!
First we need some decorations. I thought this 300 movie poster with Gerard Butler’s fabulous abs was pretty festive.
Note: If you are new to my blog (via Bloggy Giveaways) don’t mind the fact that 300 was written in what looks to be blood. I typically don’t blog about blood very often (except when it pertains to Twilight related discussions). I do, however, blog about hot guys. Often.
Ok, I think that I killed two birds with one stone there. Decorations, check. Yummy snacks to nibble on (Mr. Butler’s abs), check.
No party is complete without a game. One of my favorite party games is Loaded Questions so I thought it might be fun to play a little question and answer game. You leave me a question in the comments and I’ll do my best to answer it in a future post.
Now for the goody bag. Let’s call it swag since it really isn’t a bag but just one thing. Plus, I like the word swag.
I’m giving away a Panera’s gift card valued at $10.
To enter:
- All you have to do is play along with Loaded Questions and leave a question for me in the comments.
For additional chances of winning, you may do the following:
- Link to this post on Twitter or on your blog.
- If you haven’t already, subscribe to my blog:
**Important** Make sure you leave me separate comments for each thing you do to promote so you will get credit for your additional entries.
This contest is open to everyone in the U.S. and Canada. I’ll pick the winner by a random draw on Friday January 30th at 10pm and email the lucky person.
I’ll pick my favorite questions (i.e. the ones that aren’t too embarrassing or hard to answer) and post the answers on my blog over the next couple of weeks. You may want to bookmark my blog so you won’t forget to come back and see if your question was answered.
Ask away!! Then head over here to win more fabulous prizes.

I’m new to your blog, so have lots of questions! First, what inspired you to start blogging? And how did you pick your blog name?
Ohhh congrats on your 300. I meant to do something big for my 500 (I seriously blog too much) but I MISSED it – how crazy is that? Oh well… Let’s see… a question… hmm…
How has your “diet” been going since 2009? I’m assuming you are at least still thinking about it occasionally? Any progress?
New to your blog… My question is how do you keep your blogging life separate from your real life, so that the two never meet? I have been thinking about starting a blog, but don’t know that I want everyone to know that it exists…
BTW, I LOVE Panera! I always have a hard time deciding what to get b/c it’s all so yummy.
I love Loaded Questions!
My question for you is: What is one item in your kitchen you could NOT live without?
I really hope I am asking the appropriate question.
His blinds are open, would you watch your HOT neighbor?
Thanks for the chance to win.
Have you read Twilight??????? If not you should! It is such a good series that I recommend it to everyone.
Thanks for the chance to win.

Hey! Maybe we are sisters? Kinda like Anne and Mary of The Other Boleyn Girl? I have three chapters to go and then it’s all over. It’s a book I don’t want to end! While I was rifling through your personal belongings, I came across your Shelfari bookshelf and see you’ve read it also.
So, the question is sweetie, who do you most identify with in that book? Ew…. tough question, eh? For me, I’m afraid I’d have to say Queen Katherine. But in a good way.
I subscribed to emails AND Google RSS cause that’s just how I roll. Besides, some bloggers want RSS readers but ya know what? I don’t read ‘em. I only read email. Therefore, you have the best of both worlds.

Hello. Well I love Panera. First let me ask … 300 posts? Wow.. You must have a lot to talk about. What do you enjoy most out of life? I enjoy laughing and making people laugh. I just starting blogging recently on skirt.com … Do you read skirt? Or do you have a skirt near you?…. I became a skirtsetter! Which is really cool and I feel that it is an honor.. and the funny thing is I go and I eat at Panera and I blog on skirt. It is the best. Where do you blog from? The Couch? A Desk? Are you comfy while you blog? And btw 300 was an amazing choice for your movie poster for the post.. The 300 soldiers (blogs) that were allowed to participate in this bloggy event for such a cool prize! Very festive almost the same.. You have battled the blog world to 300 of your random storys and words! I hope you have a lovely next 300!
