A Joke and a Sweet Deal

A guy is traveling and he stops at a Dairy Queen for lunch in Cut-n-Shoot, Texas. He's talking to his wife on his cell phone and is trying to explain where he is. His wife has never heard of Cut-n-Shoot (has anyone?!), so she's asking if it's "and" or "n". The guy isn't sure, so he waits in line to ask the young lady at the cash register. He holds his phone out and asks the lady to slowly spell the name of where he is to answer his wife's question.

She smacks her gum, looks at him like he's daft and slowly spells, "D-A-I-R-Y-Q-U-E-E-N"

Thank you, thank you. You've been a great audience tonight!

Okay, I have to confess, that's not the real joke. I can't remember the real one that we used to tell growing up. I remember the punch line (and my mom was really good at telling it), but not the actual joke. So, I just kinda made it up. I know, I know, don't quit my day job.

Well, there is a point to the joke. Dairy Queen is launching their first-ever permanent value menu. They say, "You can mix and match nine menu items, choosing two for $3, three for $4 or four for $5. You have the freedom of choice with more than 20,000 combinations."

I'm not a math person, so I'm not going to challenge the 20,000 combinations, but I might have to test it. So, my first deal would be a chocolate dipped ice cream cone.

Oh, wait, there's not a deal for one item. Bummer.

I really, really like the chocolate dipped ice cream cones. I guess I could buy two. Or Slade and I could go on a date and get chocolate dipped ice cream cones. I suppose we could get dinner, too, with those great deals, but, really, is there anything better than chocolate dipped cones? I'm going with "no".

But, it would take me a really long time to test their 20,000 combinations idea with just one or two ice cream cones at a time, so I guess we'd better get more. I would get a burger (all the way with mustard) and fries and Slade would probably get a cheeseburger (mayo and lettuce only). He won't get the fries because he'll say he's not that hungry... and then he'll proceed to eat mine.

It happens all the time.

So, I'll order a burger and two orders of fries just to beat him at his game. Sneaky, I know.

So, what would you order?

And, did you like my joke?! Be honest. Be brutally honest.

But, remember, if you're not nice, I won't invite you to go to Dairy Queen with me. And I'll eat your ice cream cone.

Another SMS Giveaway!

And just in time for Christmas!

I discovered a wonderful blog called Bloggy Giveaways a while back. Every day, a new company is featured and a giveaway is hosted for their products or for a gift certificate to their website. I won a gift certificate to... well, I won't tell you yet; that's a whole 'nother post!

Anyway, you, too, can be a winner! Unfortunately, I can't remember what Melanie, the genius behind the blog, is giving away for me... I *think* I am giving away 3 gift certificates... I think. Anyway, whatever it is, I'm sure it's good! Not that I'm a little biased.

So, go ahead and enter! I'd love to have one of my friends win!

In case you were wondering about the title, SMS is Scrapbooking Made Simple. If you didn't know that, then I hope you win so you can know it forever and ever after. Amen.

Feeling a tad bit prudish?

I am sitting in the computer room at the Hilton-South Lake, waiting for the other girls from our MOPS steering team. We are at MOPS convention and are having an absolute blast! But, of course, I have to check my e-mail...

And, I'm glad I did because two of my refrigerator scrapbooks are being given away TODAY on A Tad Bit Prudish's blog! Go here for your chance to win one of two tins being given away!

I can personalize your tin, too... for a small fee. Oh, no, I mean, for you, free! Well, for everyone, free, but for you, too! So, go check it out!

I really hate to share this with you, but...

...if I do, I get an extra entry, so I won't be selfish. Of course, even by sharing, I'm being selfish, because I'm only doing it to get an extra entry. Hmmm...

Anyway, you can go here and check it out. You probably won't want to.

I really want that vacume cleaner. We used ours a few days ago and it sparked. Not just once, but over and over. And, I don't think it was being patriotic. Because it also smoked. Sparking and smoking, not good. Yeah, so don't bother to enter the drawing for the new vacume cleaner because I'm praying that I win it. Of course, if you enter and pray that you win it, too, we'll be able to see whose prayers God listens to... Just kidding...

But, I really do want that vacume cleaner.

I'm not sweating, but I bet you are!

How do you like my title? We made it to Colorado, safe and sound, although it took us longer than we expected... More on that later.

But, the weather here is beautiful! 30's at night and 70's during the day. Beautiful!! We've been hiking, shopping, played in snow (in shorts and short-sleeve shirts!) and just had a great time.

I'll do more of a play-by-play when we get home because Chad and Laura have dial-up and it takes longer. Right now, we're in Grand Lake at the public library, so I thought I'd say hi. We're going touristy shopping (my favorite!) shortly.

Head over to my scrapbooking blog for a chance to win a refrigerator scrapbook. Tip Junkie is doing a give-away through her blog for different Mom-prenuers and I'm one of them! :-) So, if you've always wanted a refrigerator scrapbook, and I know you have, haven't you?!, then go post on my blog and then on hers.

Have a great day and I'll blog ya later!

Summer Soap Celebration

I meant to post this a few days ago, but blogger was being funny and then I just forgot.

Head on over to Nan's blog to check out some fun handmade soaps. Go today and you'll be in time to enter her contests to possibly win some!

If, however, you win some soaps and I don't, just don't tell me...
