Ooh I Won a Toyota Prius! Did You?

Who knew I had such a winning streak? Who knew I was this lucky? I didn't! But it seems that I am especially lucky with the British Gaming Commission. Those folks over there just love me. They love me at least three times a day.

Everyday I win something from them. Sometimes it's a million or so pounds, sometimes just a few hundred pounds. A few times it's been an exotic getaway for two. But today? TODAY IT'S A CAR! Lucky me!

Just look at this!

But you know what? I don't think I really want a Prius. I'm going to give it up. Let them pass it on to some other lucky soul. We're just fine driving our 10 yr. old Toyota and newer Nissan. Besides I bet they would give me some ugly color. You know like purple? The color that sells the least on a sales lot. Also? Why can't a local Toyota dealer just deliver one to me? Why does Toyota want to go to such expense as to ship an American-made car to me from Britain. Hmmm.....

I'm mighty suspicious of anyone who wants this much information yet seems to have my email address. Do you think that maybe it's just a phishing site? That there is a reason this just ended up in my spam mail and not say on the end of a telephone line or at my front door? Does anyone else find it odd that the Toyota promotions department is the UK? Or that the Lottery Manager spells his name Tedy with only one 'd'? This whole thing reeks of scam.

So sad too because of course any winning car I would have received I would have just given away to charity. I win so much from the British Gaming commission I've grown tired of them and I'm passing my winnings on. Tsk Tsk...


***Don't forget to check out the new reviews here.
I just finished reviewing the book, The Daring Book for Girls, and it's a must read and must have for any girl age 8-18. PBN has more reviews too.

Hey New Yorker! I'm Talking to You!

And YOU suburbs of New Jersey and Connecticut! Time to firm up your plans for this weekend and realize that you only have one event you really need to be at. BASHED! That's right you heard me. BASHED!

Here's all you need to know.

WHO: The incredible people behind parent P-L-A-Y

WHAT: The ABC's of Party Planning. A one-stop shop for parents to find everything they could possibly ever need to know about planning any type of party for the under 16 set. There's good food, live music, seminars with people like Sylvia Weinstock and more. Want to throw a green party this year? I do! Learn about it here!

WHEN: Sunday, October 28 from 10-6 p.m.

WHERE: The Altman Bldg in Chelsea.

WHY: Do I really need to say it? Because it is the first EVER event like this in the Big Apple and it's incredibly cool. There will be so much to do and see there with live performances and lots of actions. Plus! A VERY nice goodie bag for you parents as well as an awesome and ever so handy guidebook with all the vendors listed and more. It's a must see for the fall scene.

HOW: However you can. JUST BE THERE! You don't want to miss it. It will make your life so much easier on the party front just for the guide alone. And yes, you CAN take the kids.


So do something different this weekend. Have a great day out with the family and get BASHED! You can thank me later. Now go check out the coupons and safe toy guide over at Mummy's.

I was going to...

I was all set to write up a nice little rant about this Mommy Track'd article but I just don't feel like another soap box session today. Grr...

Then I thought about how I could type up a cute piece on me waxing poetic about fall but then vomit rushed into my mouth at their sheer gushiness of it all.

I won't even go into the gardening frenzy that overtook me yesterday as a result of all my neighbors fall gardening enterprises. Even the poop neighbors put in new flowers and shrubs. Heh. I just did.

I could tell you about my thinking of taking an exotic dance class and my conflicting views on the whole thing along with my morbid curiosity on the whole matter. Plus I sort of feel I have nothing to wear. Is that the point?

I could simply direct you here and here because I love this group and really want to know- would you want this in your city?

Instead I'll just let you enjoy this for your viewing pleasure. Seems to be a trend in weddings these days. I'm thinking of it for my next piece on Flaming Tulle. Where we (ahem) still need a new FEATURED BRIDE so if you know of someone who wants or needs advice, wants to talk weddings, their wedding, with us email us!



H can do a mean 'Thriller' when he wants to as well.
