And the winner is.........


We will get to that in a minute.

First things first... 

I wanna thank all those that participated!  You guys are great guessers.  More than a few predictions were pretty darn close!  So thank you again for playing along.  I hope you keep coming back to this little blog of mine.  Even when I'm just talking about snow days, things I love and hate, or my domestic escapades.

Anyway, I should probably get down to business, which leads me to unveiling the grand total.

The final count was $48.81.  

My bank even does the break down of how much of each coin there is..........


$17.00 in quarters!  Over $8 in pennies!  Not too shabby!  It'll make a nice dent in whatever we decide to purchase.

But now, what you've all been waiting for.  The person with the closet guess without going over was.........drum roll please.........

Whitney!!!

She was within a dollar of the total, barely squeaking by Andrea's guess of $47.53 by using a Price is Right type of strategy.  Whit's guess was $48.00.

Congrats, Whit!  You can happily go into a coffee coma on me!  And just in time for Spring Break!

Oh, and, um, Whit?  Andrea said she'd meet you out back behind the swings on the playground.  She said she wanted to "congratulate" you.

I Feel Like..........


A chicken with my head cut off.

This week has been b.u.s.y.

And it's only Tuesday!

It started with poor Sir Chester having to go to the vet for some tummy problems yesterday.  Two rounds of mopping the waiting area and four bottles of medicine later, I think our little man is on the mend. 


Isn't he the most regal looking car rider ever?

Such a good little man!

*   *   *   *

Next came today's festivities........a shower for Ashley!!!  

My coworkers and I got our craftiness on for this shindig.  Behold the bunting......


And I got to use some of my vintage tablecloths........


And Ash got to open some lovely pressies........



















I do believe it went off without a hitch!

*   *   *   *
And because I've been sooooo busy, I haven't had a chance to run by the bank to see how much is in my piggy bank.  But really, that's okay.  Because the contest doesn't end til Friday at noon.  So if you're just finding this out, you've still got time to enter!  Check it out, if you're curious.  

Lauren did have a great question about the contest.......would the $10 be taken out of the piggy bank, thus affecting the total?  

The answer is, NO.  

I will not steal from the piggy bank to purchase the prize.  The change amount will not be tampered with.  

Girl Scout's Honor.

*   *   *   *

Now onto a more serious matter:  The mister's sock drawer.  

Or the lack thereof, I mean.

I feel compelled to defend the sock bag.  And maybe myself.

The mister didn't like his dresser either.  He planned on getting rid of it anyway.  As for not replacing it with something else yet, we haven't found anything we like.  We have shopped and shopped.  We know Furniture Row like the back of our hand.

I swear.  

Pinky promise!

Really!

Please like me even though the mister has a sock bag.

Please!

A contest you should probably participate in......


Our piggy bank is full, so it's time to cash it all in. 


The mister and I have some plans for this money.  We just aren't sure which idea to go with......

Possibility #1:  We have carriage style garage doors that have their own controllers, so they open separately.  And the mister's side is broken.


Awwwww, too bad for the mister, huh?  

I suppose he deserves to park in the garage too.
So we could buy a new opener with the money.

*   *   *   *

Possibility #2:  We could also make a dent in a new dresser for our bedroom.

The mister's bedroom furniture was banned from moving in with him.  It was, after all, a water bed from the 80's with a sort of matching wardrobey dressery thing.  So due to the furniture prohibition, he doesn't really have a sock drawer.

He has a sock bag.....


He needs a sock drawer.

*   *   *   *  

You probably feel sorry for the mister right about now, don't you?  

You shouldn't.

He's fine.  

Really!

*   *   *   *

Possibility #3:  Finally, we may have to start a new fund altogether and put this chunk of change toward it.  It's called the "Sir Chester has just started jumping the fence, so we need a privacy fence" fund.

Yes, this is a new development in the life of Sir Chester.  He's discovered he can scale our fence in a single bound.

It's quite remarkable.

And frustrating.


I swear he escaped from the circus
prior to becoming our little man.

*   *   *   *

So the time has come, with a full-to-the-brim piggy bank, to cash in all that change.  Then we'll have to decide how it's gonna be spent.

I love predicting how much is in the piggy bank before I cash it in.  Soooooo let's play a game...... 

Directions:  Make a "how much change is that" prediction in the comments area.  

Prize:  The winner gets to choose between a $10 Starbucks or Sonic gift card.  So when you comment, tell me your preference!

Rules:  Your guess has to be closest to the amount without going over.  I'll take guesses all week.  Guessing time will come to a close on Friday, March 11th at noon.  I'll post the amount sometime after that, along with the lucky winner!  I'll even prove the amount with the receipt from my bank!  Then depending on who wins, I'll either hand deliver it or mail it! 

To further assist you, I'll even provide the piggy bank dimensions......



Calling all readers, whoever you are, whether I know you or not (I do like making new friends), whether you've never commented or you comment regularly, be wild and crazy, and give it your best guess!  How much will all those quarters, nickels, dimes, and pennies add up to?

Just think, it could be YOU sipping that vanilla latte or eating some tots if your guess is the best.
