Congrats Melanie. Check your email!
So it's the last day of giveaways and I'm happy to offer you a chance at a set of 25 announcements (including shipping) from Magnet Street.
Look familiar? Yes, that's because I had them done for Margot and they were such a huge hit. Seriously, my mother-in-law carried it around in her purse, which is odd because it's a 5 x 7 magnet, but whatever.
Nothing surprises me anymore.
Anyway, if you're thinking magnet + announcement = cheeeezeball, think again. These are stylish, classy, and well, magnetic. The perfect combination for an announcement, I think.
So, just leave me a comment about how much you miss me (heh and if you don't feel free to tell me so - and see if random.org picks you bwahahaha) and I'll pick one lucky winner at random.
Contest ends 1/24/09 12:00am EST. One entry per blogger/person per day. US and Canada residents only.
(And if you haven't entered all the other days, you should go now! And make sure to check out tomorrow's blog blast).
I can hardly find the words to describe how much I miss you. My little bun in the oven misses you too!!! :)

I didn't know how lonely my life was until I found your blog. Now I can't live without you.
Posted by: Haley | January 23, 2009 at 12:31 PM
Oh perfect! I can't wait until my girl comes in April to send out annoucments of course :)
Posted by: Lane C | January 23, 2009 at 12:26 PM
Umm, like yesterday, i don't miss you a whole ton cause we get to hear from you everyday while you do the 5 Days of Christmas.... But I can't wait to get back to the nitty gritty when the contests are over! Looking forward to it!

Gorgeous announcement! I'm a bit more like 26 weeks from welcoming the little new one but still, would be fun to have one thing nailed down.. :)

Posted by: jennP | January 22, 2009 at 07:52 PM
I miss you, and I'm hoping I might get to see you in person in two weeks at Blissdom. If you need someone to hold a baby, my arms are up for the job.
Posted by: Christina | January 22, 2009 at 07:40 PM
I do think you're pretty funny, but have to admit that I kind of forgot you were gone because of all these great Days of Christmas posts. Can't wait to see who wins!
Posted by: Kristin | January 22, 2009 at 06:25 PM

Miss you! Love these announcements.
Posted by: Asianmommy | January 22, 2009 at 04:43 PM
Oooh I love those. I do miss you and I've very curious as to where you went.
I could really use these...might make me do birth announcements on the baby. He's almost four months, so I'm a bit behind.
Posted by: Issa | January 22, 2009 at 04:01 PM
check your blog every day and when you don't write a crazy funny witty sad or otherwise zany story i miss you.
Posted by: abigail | January 22, 2009 at 04:00 PM
Ooooh me! I'm having my second little person in twelve days. And plus, I TOTALLY miss you ;-)
Posted by: Compa | January 22, 2009 at 03:16 PM
Miss you lots! Glad you will be back soon.
Posted by: Sarah S | January 22, 2009 at 03:08 PM
I miss your absurd crotch shaving posts. ROFL!

These giveaways are awesome! I really hope I win something...
Posted by: Bitchy Mom | January 22, 2009 at 02:52 PM

I soo need a laugh right now! The contests just don't do it...
Posted by: Tiffany | January 22, 2009 at 02:28 PM
I miss you like my ass cheeks miss a single digit pants size.
Posted by: Kait | January 22, 2009 at 02:16 PM
I'll miss you so much that my blog day won't feel complete without reading a new post from you!
Posted by: nikki keller | January 22, 2009 at 02:12 PM
These are great, and will com in handy in july when our first baby is born! =)
Posted by: Katrina | January 22, 2009 at 02:09 PM
Life is just not as exciting reading about contests, but at least you added your mother in law in there.
Posted by: Adrienne S | January 22, 2009 at 02:04 PM
Totally do. (Miss you, that is.)
But I appreciate that you offer gifts/prizes in your absence -- bribes go far with me!
Posted by: Christina | January 22, 2009 at 02:01 PM
You've been missed! Love the giveaways but can't wait for your regular hilarious posts to come back! I was scheduled to be induced today but apparently everyone and their mothers decided to go into labor last night....so now I have to wait until Monday unless my little boy decides to actually come out on his own...yeah right. I need some fun posts to help the time pass!
Posted by: Karen | January 22, 2009 at 02:00 PM
Totally missing you here. On the bright side, I get the kids to school much closer to on time because I'm not online.
Hope you're having a blast for all of us!
Posted by: Angela | January 22, 2009 at 01:30 PM
Love the announcements and, well, where HAVE you been? You really think giving all kinds of free stuff away makes up for your absence? SHEESH.
Posted by: Jenna | January 22, 2009 at 01:03 PM
oh man. your posts about drew help me keep sane with my own nearly 2 year old. it gives me hope that other parents are dealing with children they do not comprehend at all. so yeah. i miss you.
Posted by: catherine | January 22, 2009 at 12:49 PM
I am 6 weeks away from welcoming a new baby boy! I think this would be an awesome way to announce it!!
Can't wait to hear about all the fun that has been happening with you over the past week!
Posted by: Ashley | January 22, 2009 at 12:40 PM
I miss you so much that I cry.... oh wait, I cry because I'm so freaking tired due to my teething child who has decided to wake up before 4 o'clock the past two mornings. We're trying for baby #2 (which amazes me, considering the current sleep schedule of #1), and some magnet announcements sure would be handy to make the blessed announcement.
Posted by: meredith | January 22, 2009 at 12:39 PM
Oh! I love those! And you! Speaking of loving you, I miss you too.
Lots!
Miss!
You!
Posted by: Jennifer Leite | January 22, 2009 at 12:28 PM
I miss you! I worry when I don't hear from you. And I've got a baby due in April, so these would be great!
Posted by: Margie | January 22, 2009 at 12:10 PM
I miss you, but my second child is due middle of June so these would be perfect!
Posted by: Elizabeth | January 22, 2009 at 12:06 PM
Ooh! I do miss you, and I also have a five day old baby girl who would look so pretty on everyone's fridge!
Posted by: Joceline | January 22, 2009 at 11:52 AM
I can't really say that I miss you because with this 5 Days of Christmas thing you so kindly have going on, we get to hear from you everyday!!!
I'm due with baby #2 on 03/31/09 - how perfect would this prize be???
You rock!
Posted by: Lisa | January 22, 2009 at 11:48 AM
Of course you are missed. I hope you come back. In. Need. Of. Wit.
Posted by: Amber Mc | January 22, 2009 at 11:26 AM
Miss you but love all the giveaways! :) I'm thinking of doing magnets for Nate's 1st birthday party invitations! Cute.
Posted by: Amy | January 22, 2009 at 11:24 AM

Posted by: Becky | January 22, 2009 at 11:09 AM
We totally miss you. And your posts of course. I love the brutal honesty! It makes me feel relieved to read a voice that often sounds like my own, in my head of course...
Posted by: Leslie | January 22, 2009 at 11:02 AM
Miss your silly comments about nursing and post-partum bodies. :)
Posted by: Amy | January 22, 2009 at 10:54 AM
I'm loving all the giveaways, but am DEFINITELY missing the hilarious posts. Also, my first baby is due on Monday 1/26, so I sure could use this giveaway! Thanks!
Posted by: Mary Kate | January 22, 2009 at 10:49 AM
Hope you're having a great time and miss the funny. Hope all is going well.
Posted by: Abbey | January 22, 2009 at 10:47 AM
I have 4 blogs I read with regularity. AFter the third one lately, I just turn off the monitor and go feed my kids. I have that feeling all day like I forgot my purse, you know? (Or diaper bag). The band director hubby and I are considering having our 3rd baby against the advice of the mother-in-law. You are our inspiration. (And sometimes deterrent....when you're having 3 sick kids!) Come back!
Posted by: Melanie Collins | January 22, 2009 at 10:44 AM
Those are gorgeous announcements! Would come in very handy in July for our firstborn - we'd been debating what kind of announcements we wanted to do!
I'm a lurker but really enjoying your blog as I await the birth of our firstborn! So I miss your absence even though you don't know it!
Posted by: Jenny | January 22, 2009 at 10:40 AM
Definitely missing the funny.
Posted by: Mama Bub | January 22, 2009 at 10:20 AM
Yep, miss you. First baby due in early March, I need some experienced perspective!
Posted by: Chrissa | January 22, 2009 at 10:10 AM
Kristen, You complete....my blog list. My day is not the same without you. Please return and make my life whole again. Thank you.
Ps. I loved my hot pink pot-holder thingies, and since I've been having some pretty crazy days, I could really use something else to make my day. If nothing else, it would give a boost to my oh-so-fragile psyche. God Bless America.
Posted by: Sheri | January 22, 2009 at 10:09 AM
i love me a magnet!
Posted by: kait | January 22, 2009 at 09:56 AM
Who would not miss you witty humor? I so look forward to your blog everyday and my days have been EMPTY since you started this contest! (Is that cheesy enough? ;-))
Posted by: Ginny | January 22, 2009 at 09:46 AM
Bunches and bunches! Can I use them to announce my own awesomeness? ;)
Posted by: Amelia Sprout | January 22, 2009 at 09:45 AM
I miss you. I'm 33 weeks pregnant and need your daily blogs as entertainment.
Posted by: Leslie | January 22, 2009 at 09:43 AM
How could I not miss you!
I need this for my new baby- coming at the end of May, hopefully!
Posted by: Carrie | January 22, 2009 at 09:43 AM
MISS YOU, I think :)
Posted by: Spacegirl | January 22, 2009 at 09:42 AM

Miss Miss Miss you!
Posted by: April | January 22, 2009 at 09:40 AM
I am a stay at home with 4 girls 5 and under. You are the voice that daily reminds me that I am not the only person who is losing her mind raising her kids. Come back and bring my sanity with you!
Posted by: Carrie | January 22, 2009 at 09:36 AM
I totally miss you a lot, plus my first baby is due in May, plus my husband is also an airline pilot so I totally feel your crazy life... Pick me, Pick me!

Miss. Miss. Miss. You!
Posted by: Amanda | January 22, 2009 at 08:35 AM
I only mean this in the nicest way possible! I miss your bitching and complaining about motherhood/husbands/mother-in-laws! Your blog is one of the only "real" and "truthful" blogs around!
Posted by: becky | January 22, 2009 at 08:29 AM
Ummm... me too. Miss you bunches. (Now pick me ;-)
Posted by: Cavguyswife98 | January 22, 2009 at 08:20 AM
