Yes, I'm bragging...

So, it's been kind of a bummer of a couple of months for me, don't worry, I won't bore you with the details. However, I received a surprise today that cheered me up!

One of my other hobbies is entering online sweepstakes. I just received notification that I won a cute vanity. It will officially be the most expensive piece of furniture in my house! Not that all my things are built out of cinderblocks and planks, but we all know I'd rather spend the big bucks on fish or tanks or whatnot....

Here's a pic...

Congrats. You never know, this could just be the beginning

Congrats Jen! That's so exciting! It's beautiful too What type of sweep was it?

One time only. It was one of the 600+ 1x only that ended Dec 31st. AVR $1708! I've already beat my total winnings from last year.

I was thinking about selling it, but the more I look at it, the more I think I'm going to keep it, even though it's going to make the rest of my furniture look like crap.

Thanks, sunflower! I love to win things, it's really fun. And I've found out about so many neat products by entering their sweeps and being exposed to them. It's win/win for everyone, I think!

Congrats man....bragging is healthy...I'm sure everyone of us have done it before....where is that place at pho shizzle??? I wanna try their pho too

Pho's yummy, huh? We've got lots of great Pho restaurants here in Seattle!

However, I just have this one in my avatar cause I thought it was kinda funny - you know, it's like "Pho Shizzle my nizzle". I think Snoop loves the pho at that place...

Thanks, I do too. However, last night BF and I discussed it, and we are probably going to try to sell it (if we can get someone to pay what I think is fair - I won't accept less then $1000, apparently Lillian August who designed it is pretty well-known in the interior decorating world so I think it'll still be a steal for someone - $700 cheaper than retail .)

We have vet bills coming mid month, bills are late, and if we sold it we could take care of that stuff - plus I could buy a nice pair of pants, some colloidal silver, and a flat-panel moniter. (Yes, it's just that easy to spend free money... )

But the more I see it, the more I like it, so I might be hoping in the back of my mind that we can't find a buyer for it....

I dunno. To be totally honest, I DO like it but it doesn't look like something I would want. I was thinking about it after I looked and thought "Hmm,where would I even put something like that?!" and personally I would never,ever use it. So if the cash can help you out much more than a dusty new piece of furniture,I'd sell it.

I'm torn. I love the tri-fold mirror, I'd love to keep that, but we'll get more for the set. We're going to try to sell it, and see how it goes.

When I first saw it, I thought, "No Way!" because it's not really my style. But then I started to picture it with a 4g glass tank on it with two beauties swimming around reflected by the mirrors, and pillar candles on the end...(the trifold would go somewhere else if I did that...)...it looked a little better to me....
