Years ago my friend Amy told me about the KINK radio listener contests. (Thanks, Amy!) I’ve always been a KINK fan–I alternate between KINK and NPR most of the time–so I signed up. I have been amazingly lucky!
In 2007, I won a $100 gift certificate to the Shane Company–although after purchasing a white gold diamond ring, I ended up returning it because it made my finger green. In 2009, I won two tickets to hear the Indigo Girls in the KINK Performance Lounge, up close and personal (this was the best win yet, by far!).
A few months ago I learned that I had won the Big Ass Book of Home Decor:
And a few days ago, I learned I had won this Thomas & Friends double-DVD set! I wish I could have canned the look on Nicholas’ face when I told him! So sweet! Lickety-split, it arrived yesterday. He watched it for a bit last night before coming upstairs to inform me that he wanted me to play trains with him. I loved this–instead of wanting to watch more, he wanted to make up his own train stories.
I remember my friend Peary, in Colorado, used to win radio contests all the time–the kinds where you have to be the ninth caller or whatever–I’ve never had the patience for those types of contests. But I seem to have luck with the web entries. Mike also had his name drawn this past week, but I’ll blog about that later.
