I never do this

Lately, I have been feeling the vibe that I am going to win something. So I keep entering for giveaways and even the Publisher Clearinghouse Sweepstakes. I have won a small handful of things in my life, but I have always known right before that I was going to win. When I was in 4th grade I called the local radio station and barked on air and won a case of Barq's Root Beer (I knew my bark was best) . My sisters and I drunk it and ate pretzels and played cards and laughed all night and I felt drunk when we realized Barq's has caffeine in it and I'd never had caffeine before!
At my Senior graduation party there were all kinds of giveaways. They got to the microwave and when the announcer drew a name, I knew it was mine. I almost jumped up before she called my name out. We just buried that microwave last year. Such a good and loyal appliance over the years.
So I just found a link to a Bumbleride double stroller giveaway and I am increasing my chances of winning by blogging about it here. So, there you go. http://inevergrewup.net/giveaway-25-bumbleride-indie-stroller/
Here's the link and you all can try to win it too. This stroller is really great- it's not too wide, it can have a car seat attached, it has an adjustable handle, the colors are fun.
I just hope this vibe comes to fruition soon- the Publishers Clearinghouse Sweepstakes with 5,000 a week for life would be great, but a stroller would be too. . . I'll probably win a free bag of pita chips or something.

Tara, Tara, Tara, I think I know you and then you go about winning Miss Runner up Seattle and barquing on the radio and then I am stumped for a few days. Ha ha ha.

Best wishes for a big win. If you do, you must post the photo along with an "I told you I was about to win."

Good luck winning that stroller ! I am normally pretty lucky myself so I won't enter and your chances will be better, HA HA! although maybe Canadians can't even enter! :-)
