It was late Wednesday night and I realized we hadn't picked up a birthday/Valentine's Day treat for Blake to take to school the next day. (His B-day is V-day and his school is Mon, Tues, and Thurs--hence the early celebration). So I sent Scott to Krispy Kreme to pick up a dozen chocolate, cute sprinkled friends for Blake to take to school. When he got home there was a flyer on the box for a "Message of Love" contest sponsored by Krispy Kreme and Shamrock Farms. The basic details were you write a 100 word essay (I call that a short paragraph) explaining why your 36 character Message of Love should be chosen to be posted on the Shamrock Farms time and temperature sign on Valentine's day. The contest had started on the 9th and the deadline was 11th (Wednesday) at midnight. So I thought, what the heck. The prize: Three winners will receive Free Krispy Kremes and milk for a year! So by about 10pm I had my entry sent in--2 hours before the deadline.
To my recollection, I have never won a contest like this before. Probably there were only 3 people that entered but Thursday night by the time I got home from work there was an email announcing I had won.
Scott was surprised to say the least and I'm not sure if my family thought it was cool or thought I was totally lame. I do know they're all gonna be coming for Krispy Kreme goodness soon!
