1. Pre-kids Daddy-O and I went to a restaurant/brewery on Halloween dressed as Cruella DeVille and a dalmatian pup. We won a nice gift certificate to go back there to eat sans the costumes.
2. Okay. I didn't win this one, not really...but I was in a very small rinky-dink talent show when I was very young, maybe about five years old. I had a very large stuffed dog and sang my heart out to "Dumb Dog" from the movie "Annie." Everyone loved me but I didn't win. So many people came up to my mom telling her that I should have won that my Mom made me a badge saying "People's Choice." So I didn't really win that one, but it was pretty memorable.
3. Several years ago at the high school tricky tray I kept winning all sorts of stuff. I don't remember all of it but I do remember one of the prizes was a SpongeBob skateboard with matching helmet and elbow pads. I didn't have any kids with me and it was at the height of SpongeBob-mania so all the kids that WERE there were staring at me with jealous disdain.
4. A gift card I don't remember entering to win at last year's Foster and Adoptive Families holiday party. I love me a good gift card.
5. I entered a talent contest and was one of the winners. Our prize was the opportunity to be on television for a local cable company's "Free Disney Channel" weekend. I got my lines that morning, aced them and then flubbed the actual tape. I'm going to share the awful video here but I promise it's going to hurt you more than it hurts me:
Wait. Did you say there's a show called "Matricide"??? :) You rock SO HARD!
