Le Triomphateur Annoncé!

Translation: The Winner Announched! (I think)

Congratulations, Diane!!!!

You were the only one out of all the entries that correctly named where all six pictures were taken.

#3 gave everyone the most trouble. It is a steeple on the Cabildo, not on St. Louis Cathedral. It is located to the left of the Cathedral.

Thanks to everyone that entered. This was fun. We may have to do this again.

Samuel won the main prize with a guess of 24 pairs.

Thanks for playing!

One of the Things I Love About Summer!

FLIPFLOPS!!!!

I love flip flops. They are so easy to slip on. Plus my cute pedicured toes show when I wear a pair of flip flops. One should really have pedicured toes when wearing flip flops. It just adds to the fun!

I got a new pair today. Yellow Box flip flops. Yes, it was premeditated. I had to do it. I needed another pair. Really, I did. People wouldn't stop talking about these shoes. I had to try them. Don't you see? I was helpless. I throw myself on the mercy of the court.

So to make it all up to you, I think a contest is in order.


Since I'm not Pioneer Woman, I'm not giving away a pair of these lovely pieces of Heaven like I have on my feet (can't afford to). I wish I could, I really do. I am giving the lucky winner a $10 gift card to Old Navy, so they can add to (or....oh my, dare I say....start) their own collection of flip flops.

Be the first answer to correctly answer the following question: How many pairs of flip flops do I (me, Julie, not you) own?

Oooh, how about a bonus?....

How many pairs of flip flops are in my (Julie's) living room at this very moment? (Diane, no fair trying to come peek.)

Contest has ended!

Contest Winner Announced!

The winner is........ Diane, who submitted the following entry.


What do you mean I'm lactose intolerant?!?

I let my mom choose since she is the one who had suffer the humiliation of being the subject of this contest. We had some great entries, but this was the best of the lot. Thanks so much for taking the time to enter. Diane, I'll be delivering your prize Sunday evening!

Contest! Contest! Contest!

I love a good contest. How about you? Other blogs have them. I've entered, but never won. I thought it was about time that I had one.

So here is the deal...

I need a caption. I want to put a picture on a birthday card, but need a saying/verse/caption to go with it. So help, I'm begging, please...

I have the picture here. BUT WAIT! Don't click on it yet. I need to warn you. This picture is not for the faint of heart. Please don't open it with small children looking over your shoulder. You should exercise extreme caution when clicking here. It could cause nightmares.

So if you still think you can handle it,go head and click. But don't say I didn't warn you.

If your heart survives and your able to think coherently after viewing the photo, give it your best shot. If your phrase/saying/verse/caption is chosen as the winner and used on the birthday card, you will win a bonafide souvenir from southern Louisiana that I will purchase on my upcoming trip. The contest ends on Friday, June 12 at 7 p.m. CST.

By the way, I'm keeping the comments hidden until the end of the contest and then I'll post them all.

So give it your best shot...
