#500: The one with a prize at the bottom

Welcome to my 500th post on Reflecting!

I can’t quite believe I’m here and just 19 months after the birth of this little blog. If you factor in all the different times I almost quit (does anyone remember June 2007?) and the two stints at NaBloPoMo (Nov 2007 and March 2008 — 78 posts right there), I’m averaging about 26 posts per month. Not too shabby for someone with nothing to say.

And since I would have never made it this far without you, dear friend and reader, I would like to thank you by hosting a little giveaway (i.e.: you could win a prize!). The rules are quite simple.

All you have to do is comment on this post. That’s it. Just say hi. Or congratulations. Or Happy Wednesday. Whatever floats your boat at that particular moment. You don’t have to have a blog or web site to enter but be sure to provide a valid email address or you won’t be able to receive the prize, if you win. (And if you just Googled Vincent D’Onofrio or Billy Bob Thornton or Tina Fey’s glasses and ended up here, you are welcome to enter too.)

That’s it. Simple, huh?

Well, maybe too simple. So let’s give you one more opportunity to win! I’ve been working on my 100 Things to Do Before I Die list and I’m stalled. So, if in your comment you also offer a suggestion for something no cost or low cost to add to my list, I’ll enter you in the drawing a second time. (Suggestions could be something like: try a new recipe once a week for a year or memorize a favorite poem or attend a concert in the park…but not those because they are already on the list.) Remember no cost or low cost things only. Own a pair of Manolo Blahnik shoes or vacation in the Swiss Alps are fine suggestions but don’t really qualify. I have all the high ticket items I can handle, thank you.

So that’s it! Comment or comment with a list addition suggestion and you may win! And what may you win? How does a $75 Amazon gift card sound? Sounds like “ka-ching!”, doesn’t it?

Comments will close Sunday, June 8, at 8pm and the winner will be announced in my post on Monday, June 9. You may leave as many comments as you wish but only one comment (and one list addition suggestion, if applicable) per person will be entered in the drawing.

So:
1. Comment (with a list addition suggestion for a second chance to win)
2. Provide your valid email address
3. Do it before Sunday at 8 pm.
4. Come back on Monday to see who won!

Good luck!

P.S. Feel free to link to this post or tell your friends to stop by too. The more the merrier!

Note: Comments are now closed. The winner will be announced Monday, June 9.
