Four.Twenty.Eight

Total Mind Block!

I've lost my touch!  Gone to find it!

This Is Your One Chance.

Oy.  I've been sucked into the vortex known as social networking.  I really fought it hard for a long time, but even Sammy has been indoctrinated.  This is your one chance.  If you want to find me on Facebook or Twitter, there I am.  I don't do MySpace.  The last time I tried Twitter, I gave up after about a month.  Maybe this time it will stick, but if it doesn't, find me while you can!

I think this graphic (found on the web) describes my feelings very well:

I Like Change!

As you can see, I like change.  I suppose that's a good thing!  The blog address remains the same, but I invented the name "Four.Twenty.Eight" a while back and it really appeals to me.  I'll hang onto it until I feel like change again.

Trivia question: Can guess why "Four.Twenty.Eight" is significant?

Bloggy Giveaways Strikes Again!

Yes, it's that time of year again - get on over there and sign up for all those super giveaways.  It might take you a fortnight, though, to get through them all!  By far the most unique giveaway I've found so far is here:


Please visit LaneyPottery.com to see the Pottery Apple Bakers for yourself.

What a unique handmade item!  I'm a bit partial to handmade pottery, since my grandmother has been a professional artist in the medium for many years!

If you've NEVER commented before...

THIS is the time to comment.  Do you remember the completely crazy way that I won the Third Day autographed album and t-shirt TWICE?

Well, I've decided to throw a little of that good fortune back on the blog world.  I am giving away one set of my prize winnings!

To win, you need to leave me a comment between the time this entry posts and 12:00 PM, Central Time on Friday, August 29, 2008.  Please be sure and enter your e-mail address in the form so I can contact you (don't worry - your e-mail address will only be used for this giveaway).  At that moment, I will close comments and randomly pick a winner with the Random Integer Generator.

For complete clarification, here's what you will win:

• One Extra-Large, (sorry girls that wear smalls like me) autographed, Third Day Revelation t-shirt
• One autographed copy of the new Third Day Revelation album

Get in there and COMMENT!

No stinkin', freakin' way!

Okay, I'm terribly, absolutely, horribly sorry that I EVER said that I never win anything.  Because it appears that I do. TWICE.  See for yourself here.

I am not going to take them both, though.  There's really no need for two autographed albums (especially when I've already downloaded it!) and two shirts.  Really - let's let one more person share the Third Day love!

I always say I never win anything...

But it appears that I do!  Check this out!  Woo hoo!

This is only a test.

If this works, I will officially be "mobile blogging."  That's right - a blog post from my Blackberry... Cool.

Update:  Holy cow!  It worked.  I heart technology!  If my mom decided to reveal to me tomorrow that I was born with a mouse in my hand, I would not be surprised.  Not ONE BIT.

Congratulations!  I will be e-mailing you your Third Day prize this very evening.  Stand by!

Look! It's more giving!

But this time, it's from ME!
I decided very late in the game to participate in the Bloggy Giveaway Carnival.


Here's what I'm giving away, to no big surprise:

I have been listening to it non-stop, and I must share it with someone else, because it is fabulous.

But it won't be given away the way you think.  What I'm going to do is give this away the iTunes way.  There's always a little linky-do in iTunes that says "Gift this Music" or something very much like that.  I've always wanted to try out "Gifting" iTunes music.

So, this is very simple!  Just leave me a comment, and I will pick a random winner at 2:00 PM central time on Friday, August 1, 2008.  Comments will close at 12:00 PM central time on the same day.  Your one requirement is that you already have an account with iTunes.  I can only gift music from iTunes to another iTunes account.  If you win, I will essentially be giving you this album to download from iTunes.

After the winner is announced, I will need to contact you to work out the details, so be sure to leave your e-mail address when you comment (not in your comment body, but in the form).  It will only be used for my purpose of gifting you the Third Day album.

Enjoy!  Go forth and WIN!
