Ode to Aiming Low.

I didn’t intend to blog today – that last bit o’ random was totally enough MommaKiss for a few days.

 

I can’t help myself, though, I have to share that I won something. I won a give away. And it’s a doozy!

 

So I’m minding my own business this morning, having a lil’ quickie with Target before work (sigh, amazing what you can get accomplished in 7 minutes…) and I’m in line to pay and my phone buzzes, showing me a an e-mail.

Um, heart palpitations. No really, I started to pit-out.

 

This past week, I wrote a comment on their site – Aiming Low – because the lovlies there were giving away HP printers. So I commented and carried on, totally thinking I’d be jealous of the winners and bla bla bla.

 

Donthca Know – I’m the Grand Prize Winner baby. Look at this thing! It’s an HP Photosmart Premium Touchsmart Web AiO. They say it's easy to use. Please pray for me. That's a lotta buttons.

 

 

 

I am beyond excited.

 

The ladies of Aiming Low are divine. Truly. I met (and totally hugged) a few of them last fall when I went to an event in Boston.

 

And because I’m now a winner winner chicken dinner, it’s only fair that share some of the ways that I Aim Low: 

• Sometimes dinner is a bowl of cereal. For me AND the kids. Could be Lucky Charms, could be Fiber One. We mix it up.
• I am notorious for rockin’ hats on the weekend, less fuss with the hair.
• When I’m wearing a casual skirt and have to pee, I just hike it up. No buttons or zippers. Way easier. White trash? Perchance. But easy.
• For birthdays? Why mess with a whole big cake that you have to decorate? I just bake cupcakes, frost quick-like, use some sugar sprinklies and then decorate with print outs of the kid’s ‘character of the moment.’ i.e. Spiderman, Transformers, Diego. Just print and cut, tape on a toothpick and shove it in the cupcake.

Ha ha, lookit that, I rolled that last one into me winning the printer. Not bad, eh?

 

Have a good weekend, y'all.
