Testing, testing - 1,2,3...

Hello? Is there anybody out there?

Where did you go?  

My husband thinks I went overboard with the 20 Days of Gratitude theme.  So, did I?  Was it 20 Days of Boredom for my dear & faithful blog readers?  If so, I apologize - but it sounded like a fun way to celebrate the season of Thanksgiving for me, at the time.  I did have a few friends that left their thoughts - thanks and kisses to you guys for letting me know you're out there!

Well, because I dragged you all through those 20 Days of Blah-Blah-Blahdom, how about I make it up to you with a little contest?  Besides, it's been a while and I'm in a giving mood - 'tis the season, right?

This one is super easy and here's the deal.  We are remodeling for the next few weeks so we have to move - by this coming Wednesday - yikes!  While packing and cleaning like a mad woman,  I happened upon a huge jar of spare change.  It was loaded, heavy and I'm thinking - dude, we are NOT moving this sucker anywhere.  I even weighed it on our scale = 12.0 lbs!  We are under a strict timeline, so no rolling for us - it's off to Coinstar for me.  

So here's the contest in TWO very easy steps:
  1. Leave a comment on your guess for the total of my spare change bounty by 7pm, Sunday, December 6th.  (Please note the picture at left is NOT my jar - rather an image I grabbed off Google.)
  2. Wait to see if you won!
The closest commentor wins - not the money I'm afraid - but a nice Christmas package from moi.  And it will be good stuff... I don't reward with junk!   I will announce the winner on Sunday evening.

So get to it - Happy Friday and Happy Guessing to you all!

After my super scientific and mathematically correct way of guessing...I say $150. I wanted it to be more for your sake though.

Tiffany said...

ok my guess is 88 dollars

Christina said...

$178.80

I loved your gratitude theme - thanks for sharing :)

$99.46 is my guess. Take it to a bank, not coinstar- major rip off with them! Anyway, that is my guess. Can't wait to see the final results. Fun game!

I'm thinking $40. I read and enjoyed your"thanks". I just don't comment much. I've felt the same way about my blog... no one comments anymore. I finally asked my children if they are even reading it and they assured me they were (oh, then how come you didn't know I was sick?) Keep posting.

Hmmmm....I'm going to say $127.

Oh and I have been reading your blog, but I've been terrible about commenting lately. We were out of town there for a while too.

I've been bad about commenting on everyone's blog lately, but I still do stop by and read.

I'm going to guess $102.45. With Chris working at the appliance warehouse he has saved up a quite a bit of spare change. The shoebox was so heavy I couldn't even carry it when we took it to the bank.

I'm guessing 188.90. Aren't you glad you found it. Just in time for Christmas and remodeling. Fun game.
