The Big One-O-O!

Posted on by

Apparently, this is my 100th post. I know this because when I logged in today, WordPress kindly told me “You have 99 posts.” That means this one has to be something special. Something unprecedented. Something worthy of the occasion.

So, in honor of my 100th post, I am declaring today Reader (that’s you!) Appreciation Day.  As such, I have two ways to show my appreciation to you, my faithful (or not-so-faithful-but-happen-to-be-reading-this- post) readers:

1.  The love-sharing!  This is an award I received from Deb @ Mom of 3 Girls.

It was created by Memoirs of a Mommy. It’s a very special award that she created in Honor Of The Donor That Saved (her son) Noah’s Life. Noah received a heart transplant, and she hopes that by passing this award around the blogosphere everyone can help raise awareness of the need for Organ Donation.

The rules of this award are: SHARE THE LOVE!!! Share this award with all those blogs out there that you love. All the people who make you smile. All those that make you laugh. All those that make your day. All those that leave uplifting comments on your blog. **All I ask, is that you include a link to this post with the award and ask your recipient to do the same**

I am giving this award to my top three commenters.  I didn’t really have to do a count in order to know who my top three commenters are, but I did, just so I could brag on them a little more specifically.

So, over the course of 99 posts, Oh Amanda has left me 54 comments, Amy @ Mom of Two Princesses has left me 40, and Deb @ Mom of 3 Girls (yeah, the one who gave me the award. Oh well) has left me 19 (and she’s only been reading since the Ultimate Blog Party!)  You ladies are so faithful, and your comments always make me smile.  Thank you so much!

2. The Giveaway!

One of you will be the lucky recipient of a $10 gift card to Starbucks (that’s one hundred dimes worth, if anyone’s looking for the connection to the occasion)! What could be better than free coffee, right?  But we are, of course, a non-partisan blog, so you tea and hot chocolate-drinkers out there, and even you frozen creamy or juicy concoction-drinkers, will surely find something to your liking at Starbucks. Failing all that, they have cookies, too.

There is only one catch: I have to know that you’re reading! All you have to do is leave me a comment on this post. It can say anything at all. Think of it as a little Jodilightful! readership roll call.

This is open to *everyone*. I can’t exclude friends and family, since they’re the majority of my readership, so you’re all just going to have to trust me that I really will just do a random drawing and not just pick my mom and make her use the gift card to buy me a coffee. It’s also open to my British readers. I don’t know how I’ll swing it, but I haven’t actually bought the prize yet, so I’m sure with the wonders of modern technology I can figure out a way to buy you a cup of coffee or two.

You have until tomorrow (Friday 6/13) at midnight EST to leave your comment and be entered in the drawing.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for reading!  If it weren’t for you, I would be just another bloggy drop-out statistic.
