i never "win" anything!

I can honestly say that I never "win" anything. I'm never one to enter into any big sweepstakes, givewaways, maybe. I think I've participated in the lottery maybe 2 or 3 times in my life at best, and the last contest I really entered was probably the coloring contest from our local pizza shack (oh, wait a minute, I think I won the Hello Kitty toothbrush holder...when I was 5). No, I'm not like my sister who has entered Publisher's Clearinghouse for the family every year since she was about 12. I did, however, enter a recent photo in the iheartfaces girlfriends challenge and much to my surprise, I won! Then today, Lolli, from Better in Bulk, announced that she had picked my photo for last week's Bloggography Challenge!

Really, me? I'm wondering if this is a sign...

So my weekend, (though Anna has bronchitis and I now have a 100+ degree fever), just got infinitely better! I won the girlfriends challenge and I am ecstatic...beyond words!WOW!

There is something to be said for girlfriends who have been friends since college, are now all mommies, and attempt to get together on a monthly basis or plan weekend getaways. These women are so special to me, and I'm glad I had the chance to get away, take time for myself, and enjoy the company that only girlfriends will do.
