Because it is Friday . . . And because I still do not have my computer back to write with . . . Or to share photos . . . And/or to maintain my sanity . . . . And also because apostrophes just stopped working on the keyboard I am trying to type on . . . I am going to give away one $50.00 Amazon gift card. Just because. All you need to do is leave me a comment to be entered. You may leave as many comments as you like. Each comment counts as one entry. Comments will be closed at 9 p.m. Pacific time tonight. The winner will be picked using random integer software and announced on Monday. Good luck!

i see a few peeps posted about having kindles. i really wish i liked to read! the idea of having a kindle sounds so fun. do people who don't like to read get kindles? or would that be asinine? (yeah. probably asinine)
have a good weekend!
Posted by: steph | June 10, 2011 at 10:04 AM
I had the water line burst in my refrigerator last evening while I was outside grilling and it flooded my downstairs in 10 minutes! Happy Friday to me as I wait for the water restoration people to come back and turn off the fans. They had to cut out tons of drywall and remove and trash baseboards. They just kept telling me how lucky that I was home when it happened..I guess.
Posted by: Missy | June 10, 2011 at 10:08 AM
Oh yeah. I have a Kindle that could use some new books.
Posted by: Missy | June 10, 2011 at 10:09 AM

Posted by: tonya cinnamon | June 10, 2011 at 10:19 AM

Happy Friday Twenty Four :) Hope you get your laptop back soon. If they are such geniuses you would think it'd be done by now.
Posted by: Chantel | June 10, 2011 at 10:52 AM
Really?! Most people who are frustrated with no computer/no pictures/a malfunctioning keyboard, etc would be find that good reason to be ronchy and crabby and rude to the rest of the world. But you do a give away?! Seriously, who are?!
Posted by: mandy | June 10, 2011 at 11:40 AM
Apparently I didn't proof read my previous comment. I never said I was very good at writing, spelling or punctuation. I hope your computer feels better soon!

Posted by: Renee | June 10, 2011 at 12:56 PM
I can make do without apostrophes, but take away the 'e' on my keyboard and I'd be at a loss. Though still not bored enough to take pictures of my friend to send to potential friends.
That is silly and frankly you'd have to be a weiner to do it.
