The Life of Bon: HOLY SCHMOLEY VDAY MULAH!

Wednesday, February 13, 2013

HOLY SCHMOLEY VDAY MULAH!

I like to get people I care about gifts for Valentines Day.
You know... treats, candy, flowers, etc.

Isn't it just the funnest holiday?!?  To show all the people in our life that we care about them and are grateful for them?  I mean, I'm even making chocolate covered strawberries for all of my students!  Talk about loving Valentines!  I'm all about it.  And if they don't get me anything back, so help me, I will kill them all.

Kidding!
No, But seriously.

This year I thought I'd get my readers something.  I mean, I like you too!  I like you a lot!  And you should know it!  I wanted to get everybody something little, but that was impossible.  So instead I decided to get one person something really big.

As in $1500 big.

THIS IS NOT A JOKE!  OR A SCAM.  I REPEAT, YOU ARE NOT BEING SCAMMED!

Thirty sexy pants bloggers have all chipped in 50 big ones so that one of you can win it all.  Each blog followed is an entry into the giveaway.  This might just be the biggest giveaway the blog world has ever seen.

  2. I'm pretty sure this is the biggest blog give away that I've EVER seen. This is insanely awesome! We would probably actually buy something fun for ourselves like a ski trip or something! Right now that's just not in our budget to do.

  19. I would put it towards making our baby nursery for our little one due in 7 weeks, and then I would spend some on some post-pregnancy clothes for me, because damn it, I am SO READY to fit into normal jeans again.

It's the best time to do international travel, and since I have NEVER been out of the country (that I can remember), it would be nice to go to the place I have wanted to go for the last 20 years (since I was wee lass of 10!): JAPAN!!!

  43. You want me to say something outrageous and fun, but the truth is....I would use it to pay rent next month. My unemployment benefits die next week, and I have zero job leads (even for part-time, low-hourly-wage stuff around here), so I'm freaking out a little bit. $1500 means I would have an extra month of job junting and freaking out. :)

    ReplyDelete
  44. I just moved into my own place and still need to get some stuff (super exciting things like a vacuum! haha) so I would put the money towards that! :)

    ReplyDelete
  49. Hmmm. I would probably be wiser for saving it to use to pay back the bajillion dollas I owe for my law school debt, but instead I'd use it to buy my fiancé an awesome wedding gift and use the remainder on the honeymoon.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Thank you so much for being a part of this - I would use the money towards a new MacBook! Happy Valentine's Day!

    Insane! I'd give half of it to my parents if not to pay off my student loan, and the other half I'd get a new camera lens to take my skills up a notch and then save the pennies left. :)

    ReplyDelete
  74. With an extra $1500 I'd take trips to see family and friends all across the country that I have been unable to visit for lack of money. It would be amazing! An epic multi-week road-trip extravaganza vacation to see all of the most awesome and magnificent sights our fine country has to offer AND I'd finally get to catch up with my long-neglected family and friends!

    ReplyDelete
  75. Holey Moley! I would love to win :)
    I could get a ticket to go see my family for Easter (I'm from South Dakota but am currently transplanted in Chicago for school, tickets are about $400 a pop right now).
    I could use the rest towards the massive amount of debt I'm accumulating going to dental school, every little bit counts, right?

    ReplyDelete
  76. After indulging in coffee AND lots of it. I would sponsor more, update my blog some and invest in this little writing space. ;) Okay and maybe and a tiny piece to the wardrobe, but who wouldn't?

    ReplyDelete
  77. Clothes or debt...it would be a tough call but an amazing blessing. Perhaps Mr. B and I could even take a trip this year...the possibilities are endless...

    ReplyDelete
  78. Best blog giveaway EVER!!!
    Holy smokes...what would I do with $1500?! Honestly, my husband and I are brrrrooooooke right now, so it would mostly go towards paying rent/bills next month. Not very exciting, I know. Maybe I would save a little for a fancy date night or something.

    ReplyDelete
