With it being my birthday and all, I decided to share the love, and have a my favorite things give away! I told my cousin what I was doing and she actually squealed! and said "Like Oprah!?!"
Umm.
No.
Not like Oprah.
She gives away houses and cars, computers and boats...
I'm just giving away stuff...
Some of my favorite things...
A mini pedicure kit
Burts Bee's wax lip balm --you know, the stuff that has crack in it?! I love this stuff! I really think I'm addicted. (crack?!) I have 1 in my room, 1 in the car, 1 in my pocket, 1 in the diaper bag... you get the idea... I'm telling you. They put crack in it!
Lots of different varieties of wild flowers -- 6 packets to be exact, because I LOVE wildflowers!!
Jack Black! He is so funny, and this movie makes Jefe and I laugh! We have seen it tons, and I still laugh!
My favorite candies
My favorite Book with a bookmark. I love ALL things book related! I sort of get all glassy eyed when I go into a bookstore. My heart races, and I must. touch. the books.
I was going to offer up a Harry Potter Book, but my sister, iam1ocow, said that anyone who reads will have Harry, so I offered up The Bean Trees.
This is my very favorite book. It is just a nice read, and rich with symbolism. I just think she is brilliant!
And Lastly, not pictured: Burgers and Fries. I love Burgers and Fries. If it was at all possible -- and it is, I guess. I mean, I AM the Mom-- I would eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I loves me a good burger!!
I went to my favorite burger joint yesterday for lunch with some friends (go bonzai burger!) and was going to get you a gift certificate there... but then it dawned on me that maybe, just maybe, you may not HAVE a Red Robin (go never ending fries!) where you live. (gasp!)
So, once the winner is chosen, I will email you to see what you have near you... and wah-la!! You will be eating God's greatest creation -- the Burger.
So. Here it is folks. My first ever give away. Leave me a comment (just 1 please), and I will pick a winner Monday, June 16th... after I return home from our little mini vacation (thanks to Jefe's work!)
What are you waiting for?
Go.
Comment.
And, tell your friends!

Pick me! I have none of those things, not the burts, the book, the video etc. And I love burgers! But one someone else has made are always best! Happy! Happy! Happy! Birthday!!!!! We aren't really this old right, it is just some sick trick like freaky friday?! So I could blink and bam we'd be the ones back at girls camp! Never mind, maybe this is a good age after all! Have a great little trip!
Happy Birthday. Tiffany is going to go crazy for the Swedish Fish.
This is the Motherload not the Motherboard. Love it.
I will tell the friends. This will be fun.. Have a great day and have fun on your trip.
Seriously - how cool are you to do this on your birthday!!! Have a very Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Motherboard, happy birthday to you!
I found you through Jan [crazy lady on rd. 80] Happy Birthday! What a sweetie you are to give treats away on YOUR birthday! [I hope I win!]
First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Welcome to the land of 37 ;)
Second of all, P-L-E-A-S-E enter me in the drawing.
Lastly, I do NOT have a Red Robin nearby. I have been there ONCE (last year in Connecticut) and I thought I'd DIED and gone to heaven. ALMOST grateful there's not one nearby or I would be tippin' the scales.
Have a great day!
Happy Birthday! I found you through Jan and could use a touch of someone elses favorite things! Even if I don't win :(, I have some new things to try!!!
Yum to bottomless fries with ranch!
Frumpy luv and Crazy lady sent me over. I'll enter to win. Hope you have a great birthday!
Happy Birthday! I'm gonna tell people about this. Come Monday, you'll have loads of entries, I hope!
Although, it's not a secret that I so want to win this. Badly. Very, very badly. Badly, I tell you!
WOW! What a fabulous giveaway on YOUR birthday! I would love to be included! I have not seen School of Rock or read the book by BArbara Kingsolver. I feel the same way about books- I am absolutely addicted to them! LOVE Swedish fish, too! Love Red Robin!!!! You have great taste!:-) I already knew this, of course, because you like my jewelry...:-) Lori
You are way too nice to give something away on YOUR birthday! I shouldn't enter, I should send you something. But I want in!
I've never won a giveaway before, and I'm hoping, hoping, hoping!
Oh how I love Swedish Fish and hamburgers. Not together.
Really really love hamburgers. Craving. hamburgers. right. now.
This would be a good time to pick ME!
I hope you have a fantastic birthday! I've never commented before, I'm just a blog lurker. But, whenever I feel the need to be uplifted with a good laugh, or good music, or whatever you decided to post, I stop by and lurk. It's true. I LOVE YOUR BLOG! You secretly have a whole following in Ashley's ward. We're ALL hooked. Hope you don't mind. We LOVE THIS BLOG. I really hope you have a fantastic vacation and an even better birthday!
Happy, Happy Birthday!! I'm coming from Jan's blog. Love your background by the way. Where did you find it?
Another Jan referral here! I'd love to win & we DO have Red Robin here! I agree it is really nice to do a giveaway on your birthday!
Well HAppY BirtHDay! I was brought to your lovely blog by Michelle. Too cute! I hope you have a wonderful day. Oh we share many favorites too... Love swedish fish. I was at Target last night and they had Aqua Friends, made by swedish fish but other flavors too, I must say they were good too. Okay enough of my rambling HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
happy birthday bud! i soooooooo miss driving to your house and getting lost EVERY time (that's so lame). hope you have a great one. reminder: you can't be old, you still have little kids at home, they slow the aging process. love you.
i am not anonymous!

Happy Birthday!...Jan sent me!
Happy Birthday! Remember, 37 is the new 27!!!
a) School of Rock RAWKS!
b) Sweedish Fish have crack in them,too.
c) FR is chocolate covered crack
d) Burgers from Red Robin have crack sprinkled on them.
e) Maybe everything I just wrote isn't true, and that's just my way of explaining my addiction to said items. But either way, your choices for your give-away are AWESOME! Best of luck to all of us!
Oh yay! I heart give-aways! Happy Birthday!

Dear Mrs. Gemini,
Happy Birthday! This giveaway is true to your Gemini identity. Geminis are very kind people who always want to give and help other people.
I turned 37 on May 12th. At thirty-seven I notice the skin on my neck isn't as smooth and some freckles have become age spots.
Yet 37 is not 40 so celebrate youth!
Your daughter is adorable. I'm a teacher and I imagine many of my students drive their parents crazy, even though they are sweet and polite in school :)
Thank you for thinking of us out here in cyber-land! Love your blog and idea for a cool favorite things give-away :) I'm thinking of a fun one to post too-hmmmm?! What can I entice viewers with? :)
I'm coming your way via Jan...Happy Birthday Motherboard and thanks for the giveaway!
43 shout outs? Your lurkers have come out of the woods! Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday! I hopped on over from Cheryl's board. I love give aways, and sweedish fish, what a great combination. Anyways, happy day to you!
Wahoo--I've found the motherload (thanks to Janell)! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Me wanting some swedish fish! =)
birthdays are the best day of the year! i think it should last all month...so i hope yours is a good one! I saw the give-a-way on Cheryl's blog.
It would be my first win ever!! so, rig it if you have too :)
WAHOOO looks like a great birthday give away!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Happy Birthday!!
OH MY GOODNESS!!! I WOULD SERIOUSLY LOVE LOVE LOVE TO WIN THOSE THINGS!!! :)
*MErrianne*
P.S.
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday Dear Motherboard!!!
Happy Birthday to you!!
...and many more!!!
Happy Birthday Motherboard! I don't know you, but I must like you because I love all of your favorite things!!!
I just put up a link to this for you. Happy Birthday! Great giveaway!
Happy Birthday! I wanna help you celebrate!
WHERE'S THE BEEF??!!? Finally a real woman. I love burgers too, especially the Red Robin Bonzai - love the pineapple! Actually your collection of items on your blog are most of my favorites too. Even if I don't win, I'm going to have to check out the book - always looking for good reading recommendations.
What a great idea to celebrate your birthday by celebrating someone else's happiness. LOVE IT!!
Happy happy birthday! I seem to be a couple days late, so I hope you had a wonderful day!
What a fun giveaway you have going here! Everything you included is drool-worthy, in my opinion! I've never read the book you're including, so even if I don't win, I'll be checking it out. And lucky me, I *do* have a Red Robin nearby, but good ol' hubby doesn't like paying their prices for "just a burger", so I don't get to go nearly as often as I'd like to!
Again, happy birthday!
Happy, happy birthday Motherboard dear! Happy days will come to you all year! If I had one wish, then it would be...A Happy, Happy Birthday to you from me!!!
Happy belated Birthday. I came from Merrianne's blog. Just hope you had a really wonderful day. We do have a Red Robin close by, but I've never been there, but hey, it's ok if you don't pick me. Really. No really, it's ok. LOL
Seriously, so very nice of you to give away stuff on YOUR day.
I also found you through Jan... Hope you had a great birthday & a great mini vacation... How sweet & thoughtful to do a giveaway for your own birthday!!
Pick me! Please....
Hey I found your blog from Marriane and Spencer. love it! Your dog is beautiful!~ I love the quote you put on here from Sheri Dew, I added it to my favorite quote of the week on my blog. Hope you don't mind me copying it! Absolutely love it! Happy Birthday!!!
I hope you have a great "29"th birthday and many many more!!! I am so glad I found your blog, it is darling!!! Party on! I think I will do this for my Bday too - a give away! HOW fun!!! ~Shaila
