My blog anniversary would be an excellent time to have a noisy giveaway, don'tcha think?- THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED

Once upon a time, many moons ago, I sat down at the computer and busted out with a sweet little blog talking about tomatoes.  Or tornadoes.  Or something.  And that was two years ago. 

Isn't it so sweet?  My blog is a toddler.  Potty training.  Learning to play patty-cake.  Or in dog years, my blog is getting boobies and learning to curl it's hair.  Good luck, sweet blog, and by the way, learn from me and don't put a crimp in your bangs.  Your 7th grade pictures can't be redone.  Trust me.

So.

Here it is, my bloggy anniversary and it's time to have ourselves a little part-ay.  How best to do this? 

A GIVEAWAY, OF COURSE!!!

Because at my parties, I like to give stuff away.  However should you want to send me presents, I'm currently in the market for a Snuggie. 

BUT ANYWAYS, THE GIVEAWAY!!

This giveaway comes from the amazing and eclectic shop of Vintage Umbrella, run by my fancy friend Winn  and her friend Donna.  Their hobby is pillaging yard sales for the vintage and the unique. 

This giveaway is for a set of FOUR VINTAGE NOISEMAKERS!!

The rules (because even rebels like me must occassionally follow them)

To enter, please:

* Go to Vintage Umbrella on etsy and come back here telling me what your favorite item.  This step is mandatory and good for one entry.

* "Like" Vintage Umbrella on Facebook.  This is done by clicking on the link and then clicking the THUMBS UP button thingy on the top of the page.  This step is optional and good for one entry.

* Favorite Vintage Umbrella shop on etsy.  This step is optional and good for one entry.

* Please comment separately, so that your comments are easily countable.  Sadly, I'm not a rocket scientist, people. 

* Please leave me a safe way to contact you, such as your email address, so I can let you know if you're the weeener. 

This giveaway will run from May 10th - May 17th noon CST.  I shall pick the winner using the Random Number Generator who shall receive two bells, a clapper and a ratchet noisemaker all for their very own!!

(Should the winner not respond to my email regarding the winnings after 48 hours, I shall pick another winner.  Don't make me do this, I'll be so sad.)


GOOD LUCK AND MAKE SOME NOOOIIIISSSEEE.

(That was total cheesebally. It's my blog birthday, I can be cheesebally if I want to.)

apparently, north carolina doesn't have facebook.

hey. i'm wendiwinn. and i just had a conversation with kearsie. on her facebook wall. basically it went something like this:

me: where are you!
kearsie: *no response*
me: where are you!
kearsie: *no response*
me: where are you!
kearsie: *no response*
me: you're not here.
kearsie: *no response*
me: where are you!

i had no idea i'd be turning that exhilarating conversation into my guest post. (is that what this is? yeah. that's what this is.) but now that i have, i'm tempted to continue my conversation on her wall. brb. ok. i just added:

me: where are you! heh heh heh.

the "heh heh heh" part is because i'm so funny. and sneaky. oh wait. i just had another brilliant idea. see here:

i miss kearsie. i bet you do, too. thanks for letting me hang out with you today.

Keyboard Confessions - the freaky deaky edition

Every week I sit down and confess some things.  Mostly it's just an excuse to write a list.

1.  Today is a big fat day here on Sounds Like Tomatoes.  First, I'm the Top Bloggah over at Speaking From the Crib!!  Woot Woot!!  I shared the Cow Story.  Head over and read that bad boy and follow that bad girl Kelly, because she's super fun and I adore her. 

2.  Today is also Get Your Freak On Friday over at my newest addiction, Transient Pod.  And the question is:  What song gets your foot tapping?

3.  Here's my answer.



4.  Whip It. Can there be better song lyrics?  I think not. 

"When a problem comes along, you must whip it.

Before the cream sits out too long, you must whip it."

Genuis, I say!!

5.  However, thanks to Transient Pod, I'll be singing Eddie Money lyrics at the lop of my mental lungs all.day.long. 

6.  Oh, but phew, my fancy friend Winn is helping me out by replacing Eddie Money with Miley Cyrus.  *stabs self in eyeball*

7.  But I gotta say, I can't have Miley without some Captain Valor.



8.  You.are.welcome.

9.  Shameless plug:  Edward had a new adventure.  "Who's Edward?" you ask?  *cries a bit* You sooo need to check this out.  Yes I sew and knit and junk for tiny dolls.  Shameless.  And maybe touched in the head.  "I say whip it, whip it good".

10.  *crosses eyeballs*  Has this week been a bit long?

11.  I am waaay hoping to score some tickets to see Alice in Wonderland.  I wonder if our local theater has scalpers.  "Step on a crack, break your momma's back"

12.  This is my brain without drugs or alcohol, people.  I know.  Please, you can come out from under the desk, I won't hurt you.  *pats your hair*

13.  I'm creeping myself out.  "Yeaaaaaaahhh, it's a party in the USA"

14.  Right now, I'm wearing these sexy headphones because I'm about to rock some dictation.  You are so jealous of me, admit it.  Also, I kind of miss these soft squishy foamy kind of headphones.  These don't collect ear wax.

15.  You know what else I miss?  Quoting some Miley.  "It's so hard with my girls not around me, it's def-in-it-ly not a Nashville party."

16.  You're running away, aren't you.  I don't blame you, friend.  Run away.  RUN AWAY BEFORE EDDIE, MILEY OR DEVO MAKE YOU CRAZY TOO.  *whimpers*

17.  I wonder what I should eat for lunch.  I got a fever.  And the only cure is more Arby's.

18.  If you see a bunch of hot ladies running a 5K this weekend wearing pink tutus, hand those ladies a cup of water.  In Orlando.  If you're in like, Boise, Idaho and see a group of ladies in pink tutus, I'd call the cops.

19.  Is Miley wearing hair extensions?  Maybe I should get some...

20.  Time for dictation!!  It's ok, it's over, you can leave.  Or stay.  Or read my archives and sink down into the craziness of my brain pudding.  It's crack, I tell you. MUAHAHAHAAH.

HAPPY FRIDAY.
