And the winner is....

(Or, I guess I should say and the winners are since there are two winners, not just one.)

Today's the day, folks! The day the the ever-so-lucky winners of my very lucrative giveaway* is announced. I know, I know, ya'll have been on the edge of your seats, right? I have been too. The original plan for picking the winners was that I was going to pick my favorite movie title for first place and second place would be picked at random. However, without wanting to appear completely biased and risk hearing some booo-hisses from the crowd a'la Princess Bride, (because let's be honest, I really liked my husband's idea. But who would think that's far if I picked him as the winner? I wouldn't, and I would boycott this blog. But I don't want boycotters, I want lovers! [lovers of the blog, that is, of the blog]) I opted to have both winners picked by random.

The selection process was quite detailed. It involved numerous equations, charts, graphs, calculators, meetings with the President, etc. You know, I wanted to make sure I was thorough. Technically, it involved none of that, but just a pen, a piece of paper, and my three (and a half!) year old son. Basically, I wrote everyone's name down that entered, tore them into individual pieces, interrupted my son who was quite methodically  playing with his Thomas Legos, and asked him to come close his eyes and pick two pieces of paper out of my little pile. I supposed the graphs and equations would have been cooler. Maybe someday.

Anyways. So do you want to know who won?



......




Do you?




Okay, drum roll please....


First Place: Amanda

Second Place: Kelly

Congratulations ladies! I hope you feel honored with this prestigous award....I mean giveaway. Like promised, you each will be receiving your favorite candy bar of choice. Please email me at cahocker at gmail dot com with your decision and your address. Also, look forward in the coming weeks for a post about my dear friend Amanda! (Since she won first place, she gets a post and a candy. Lucky duck).

Well, I hope this wasn't a complete waste of time for you all! I had a lot of fun doing it! Maybe we'll make this an annual thing or something. We'll see how high the demand is for cool giveaways.



Also, two things that I found interesting on the 'net today:

1. JTT is thirty! Who knew? I probably spent a lot of time and money on Tiger Beats when I was little and he was on the cover.

2. Schweddy Ball ice cream. That's just sort of funny, right?





*This giveaway is by no means lucrative. In fact, it might be unlucrative.
