This Month's Contest

Okay. Who are the wise guys that thought I slept with a skunk?? Very funny.

These past few weeks our contestants were suppose to answer the following question:

Which activity from A Bride Most Begrudging has Deeanne Gist participated in?
milked a goat
wrestled a rooster
slept with a skunk
hacked at turtle heads
fought in a food fight

The results have been tabulated and they are:

milked a goat received 37% of the votes
wrestled a rooster received 30% of the votes
fought in a food fight received 20% of the votes
hacked at turtle heads received 10% of the votes
slept with a skunk received 3% of the votes

And the correct answer is: ***FOUGHT IN A FOOD FIGHT***

Our winner of the free, autographed copy of A Bride Most Begrudging is Lauren from Arkansas. She voted with the majority and chose "milked a goat." I asked Lauren to send me a picture that I could share with y'all and she was kind enough to do so. Her response to the news of winning?

"Hi. Wow! Thanks so much!"

Well, you're very welcome, Lauren. Everybody help me in congratulating her!

And for our final act of business today ... what shall we do for our next contest? This last one came as a suggestion from one of our bloggers. So let's keep the tradition going. Y'all have any ideas??

That sorta thing. You're gonna tell us about the real-life food fight, right???
Deeanne said...: 84 degrees! And you're SWEATING?! Girl, that's sweater weather. ;-)

Okay. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll get right on it.

Noticed I avoided answering the food fight question?
Barb said...: Oh yeah, and tomorrow when the high is 56, I suppose you'd be puttin' your snow suit on?! So much for tuff Texans--sheesh!
And we did notice your artful avoidance of the food fight issue. Not sure if you're exercizing your Blog Queenly right to avoid subjects you don't wish to deal with, or if you're saving the story for another Bloggie day (or week!) But you're making it obvious that it's a good one!
Prize idea for this contest: Winner receives the limited audio edition of A Bride Most Begrudging, read expressively by the Gist kids, with sound effects provided by non-reader Mr Greg Gist. Might end up being a huge hit--you could sell it in a set with the book and dress!
