$1,000

You know when you get receipts at stores and restaurants, they sometimes have those surveys that you can fill out within the next 48 hours and you get entered to win a monthly drawing of $1,000?  Well, I ALWAYS fill those out – or call the 800 number if I have to.  One of these days I’m going to be a winner!  So you can send in your self-addressed stamped envelope for a list of winners and it’ll say January 2009 winner: Roni!!!

G used to make fun of me but after doing them pretty religiously and having to listen to me declare, “I’m going to win!” each time, he is half-convinced I really AM going to win.  Ha… persistence actually does pay off.  Who knew?

So for a while, I’ve been keeping a working list of things I’m going to spend my winnings on.  I need to update it frequently  because I list things down that sometimes I need sooner than others, so I get it and have to replace it with something else.  Wanna see my list?  Too bad, I’m posting it anyway:

  1. An Amazon Kindle
  2. Thermolon green pans
  3. Chamois duvet cover from Pottery Barn Kids
  4. New black pumps
  5. For Baby Mochi: Twin blanket
  6. For Big Mochi: Make your own Monster
  7. Annual passes to Knott’s, but maybe not since G’s getting Disneyland passes instead
