Fun things first . . . time to announce the 2 winners of Monday’s Canadian Olympic Prize Packs.
- First was my sistah Monique from Surferwife! Woo Hoo! How much do I love that she won?!?!?! Lots. That’s how much.
- And second was my girl Foxy from The Fox Den! Another awesome long time Only Girl favourite.
(I’m happy to show you the screen shots from www.random.org if you’re really that anal)
Both girls were uber excited and I expected to be thanked with pictures of them in their gear, raising a beer to the Canadian Men’s Hockey Team when they kick some serious Olympic ass. Although if it comes down to a Canada vs USA final we might have problem of patriotic loyalty. Ha ha! Who am I kidding . . . USA won’t be in the finals! (kidding. just kidding. settle down you Americans)
Anyway girls, your gear is already on it’s way. Be sure to let me know when it arrives so I can ensure the Post Office didn’t rip me off for those crazy shipping costs know that you got it.

Okay Bloggers – time for a poll. Why? Because I’m nosy and want the answer to a burning question.
That question being . . . on average, how long does it take you to compose a blog post?
And I mean “on average”. Oh sure, Wordless Wednesdays are a piece of cake. You can slap one of those babies off in a matter of minutes. But I’m talking here of your usual, every day, average kind of post. Because I’m beginning to wonder about myself. I think I spend far too long composing. Which I don’t so much mind, because I do enjoy the “writing” part of the blogging. And frankly – good thing! Otherwise, what would be the point? But I think I’m spending too much time on it.
Typically, I’ll hammer something out quickly in “draft” mode. Then I’ll go back to it later that day and re-read it to edit, expand, fix grammar, embellish, etc. Then once I’m satisfied, I’ll schedule it for posting. I’m not going to tell you exactly how much time I spend until you all take the poll. Because I’m quite sure I’ll embarrass myself. But I have realized lately that I need to step it up a bit. To challenge myself to get faster at the whole process. Granted, you can’t rush perfection . . . but then again we’re not dealing with perfection here, are we? Are we? Hello?

Congrats to the winners. Though I can’t help feel that the whole thing was rigged. Everything’s rigged and the world is conspiring against me.
Stupid world.

Congrats to the winners and YES we MUST have photos of them wearing them proudly and cheering – surely they read that in the fine print of the rules

I’m a newbie here, one from the states who will be cheering on Canada all the way through the hockey finals! I found you through Surferwife and now I see she just wants to show yet another prize of hers
No seriously, lots to catch up on, but love it all so far!

Great. This is only making peoples think I do have some SurferWife voodoo. I am really not THAT lucky of a gal. Regardless, I will indeed take pics.

SurferWife does win way too many things. I think she’s up to no good, but I can’t prove it. And i can’t be that upset because i won this one too!!!! YAY!!!
Seriously, I’m so freaking excited about it. I will ABSOLUTELY take photos and share. But there’s no way I’ll look quite as cute as the first model… who is totally down with all the hockey stuff. Maybe I’ll even pose??
Anyway, you know, sometimes my posts take FOREVER to write. Like a seriously long time, but others are fast like lightning. I guess the length of time depends on what I’m trying to convey? I don’t know, but sometimes it does take me forever too – so don’t feel too bad.
