I&#8217;ll start by saying Happy Birthday to Jenna!<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/www.ericksonfamily.com\/albums\/2008-01-23\/00074_G.sized.jpg\"height=330 width=230\" alt=\"jenna\" \/><br \/>\nShe&#8217;s 7 years old TODAY, and we started the day with a lovely breakfast in bed!  She also got to open her present from the family, and last night she went out with her Grandparents to dinner and shopping for her present.  She picked out Squackers McGraw <img src=\"http:\/\/ecx.images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41oI9zAgJXL._AA280_.jpg\" alt=\"parrot\" \/><br \/>\nthe talking parrot (as if we needed more squacking around here!)  We&#8217;re planning a party for her on Saturday.<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/rocksinmydryer.typepad.com\/photos\/uncategorized\/2008\/01\/25\/carnival_button.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But on to the free stuff!  You may or may not have been aware that there&#8217;s a huge bloggage of contests going on this week, all linked through <a href=\"http:\/\/rocksinmydryer.typepad.com\/reviews\/\">Rocks in My Dryer<\/a>.  At last check, there are almost 800 bloggers hosting a giveaway of some sort.  Since I&#8217;m entering the game a little late, I&#8217;m sure not that many people will wade through all 755 to get to my contest, unless they start at the end and work their way backwards.  So you might as well enter, right?<\/p>\n<p>And what are you playing for?  Oh, just random stuff I&#8217;ve found around the house, as usual.  This wonderful prize package includes, but is not limited to:<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/ecx.images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51SXBG0D26L._AA240_.jpg\" alt=\"spamalot\" \/>  Monty Python&#8217;s Spamalot CD,which if you haven&#8217;t see Spamalot, you absolutely must!  We loved it so much we bought the Broadway cast CD so we could sing the songs at home or in the car&#8211;twice!  So, one of them will be given away here.<br \/>\nThe best of the Muppet Show featuring Mark Hammill, Paul Simon, Raquel Welch.  I loved the Muppet Show as a kid.  I found a few of these tapes at a garage sale, and have now let my kids watch them, and they think they are weird.  Of course they are weird!  It&#8217;s the muppets, for heaven&#8217;s sake!  But I hope whoever wins is also a fan of the muppets, or I&#8217;ll have to just keep it for myself.<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/ecx.images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51AFS4P3GNL._AA240_.jpg\" alt=\"muppet show\" \/><\/p>\n<p>and two &#8220;Sue Dreamer&#8221; magnetic list note pads for the months of February and March.  And whatever else I feel like giving away!  Unfortunately, with the price of shipping so high, I can only offer this to residents of the USA or Canada.  <\/p>\n<p>So, to enter, just leave a comment on this post, and if you are here for the first time, I invite you to look around and of course you can always come back after the contest.  I will draw a name on Friday, and make sure I can email you if you are the winner!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have so much to blog about, and so little time!
