To cure your case of the Mondays: my PiF contest

You know, for a long time when KT baby was born, we were getting fun things in the mail to welcome her. And then it was our anniversary, then mother's day, my birthday, father's day, and AJ's birthday... but then all THAT ended, and we've had a week or two where all we've gotten is FLIERS and BILLS. Boooo-riiing!

That's why I was so excited Friday to receive my Pay It Forward prize from Nicole! Totally made my day.


Gorgeous red things! My favorite color! There's a great red pen, nail polish, beautiful cards with my initial on them, MORE beautiful cards that say, "Merci beaucoup," and a very beautiful Target gift card that she specified was JUST FOR ME. :) Thank you, Nicole!

And now it is my turn to totally make YOUR day! Enter my contest here, by leaving a comment on THIS POST, before 5pm on Thursday 7/24. I will choose one lucky winner by random number generator. I haven't decided what kind of pay I will be forwarding, but it will be FUN to think of something!

Be prepared: If you win, you have to have your OWN Pay It Forward contest! That's the rules.

The comment topic is this: HAIKU about coffee! Go! (Oh, come on, you can TOO think of something!)

hot and delicious
you brighten my every morn
blend the bittersweet

Hey, I didn't say I was good at this!!! But, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my coffee (as you know) so, had to enter the contest on prinicple if nothing else.

Chances of winning with comment #1 = about nil!

Necessary Coffee

Delicious coffee
Raging crazies; must abstain
Yummy, yet out of reach

Two Splenda Packets
Enough cream to make it beige.
Only you wake me!

nicole said...

5-7-5?

I make a big cup
Stir in some milk and sugar
I never finish

I am not good at the haiku. It was pure happy coincidence that the 'L' stationery was red. Glad you liked your package of fun.

Sarah said...

Coffee is yummy
but with sugar, never black
Drink up now, my friend!

Cound me in!

Amber said...

I don't need coffee,
but if I could drink something
for disappearing...

My first ever Haiku. Fun!

Tiffany said...

I don't like it hot
Gotta be iced, iced, baby
Pour sugar on me



It's a musical montage, my friends!
I tried.

CAQuincy said...

With a little cream
Sugar when really strong
It's hard to limit

Yeah. Poetry's not my thang....

mar said...

coffee, not my fave
love chai, either iced or hot
extra whip puh-lease.

(i just like haikus, but i'd pay it forward if i win.)

A necessity
For sanity maintenance.
Kids: early risers!

Valley Momma said...

i don't like coffee
some people drink way too much
what's in the middle?

Madame Queen said...

Oh, sweet nectar of
the gods, wake me. Cream, sugar.
The day's perfect start.

pseudostoops said...

when early meetings
delay that first infusion
grumpiness ensues

arbee said...

coffee -- don't like you
taste too bitter for my tongue

Sally said...

Not while I'm nursing
Oh, how I miss my caffeine
Maybe just one cup...

Swistle said...

Oh my bitter dear
With powdered sweetened creamer
Best part of my day

Marie Green said...

Coffee should be the
color of a muddy brown
river- sweet/milky.

pinkelefant said...

moo said...

aroma divine
on a cool autumn morning

Starbucks coffee buzz:
Caffeine highs still trump stock lows
Lattes here to stay
