I Think We Have a Winner!

So many of you have entered the drawing for the Cornerstoregoddess bracelet in lovely shade of orange.



First Uncle Buck wrote each entry on a scrap of paper.  She doesn't write very well, so she asked George to help her.



She couldn't find the beaded hat, so she put the entries into a shoe.  (Uncle Buck likes shoes.)  Then she got up on the top of the stairs and posed while pondering how to jump into the shoe.



At last she leapt into the shoe...



...and pulled out a winner.



And the winner is...



(wait for it)...

Ericka Wildgirl Dana!

Uncle Buck and George are doing a high-five on your behalf!

Ericka, email me and confirm your shipping info and your beautiful bracelet will be on its way!

Thanks to all whom participated.  Uncle Buck reminds you to keep the Halloween spirit and have a great season!  (More autumnal goodies in the store to keep you happy until the next giveaway.)

"Pisa Sh*t is Mad" Giveaway Winner!

The other day, I ran a little giveaway in support of C.O.A.K. the Coalition of Angry Kids. COAK helps parents… well, really all adults…do their part to be healthy role models for the younger generation.

My 11-year-old daughter Pisa and I asked folks to take the COAK pledge. COAK is making a big push by offering a 
30-day Anytime Fitness membership, a free 30-minute personal training session and a no-cost 30-day premium pass to AnytimeHealth.com. There’s no contract and no strings attached.

What's more, the best comment of the day (as judged by Pisa) would win a GRUVE activity and calorie-tracker device (value $180) AND a one-year premium pass to http://AnytimeHealth.com (value $50).

We got a load of admirable entries, but Pisa is her father's child and was particularly taken with this comment:

Oh my goodness, I want that GRUVE and I'm SO NERVOUS to be addressing the all important PISA (which by the way I hope your Dad has taught you is a beautifully historic building in Italy and NOT in fact, a precursor to a swear word!) Ok, let's see what I can do to win this $h.t, er, stuff. Childhood obesity is mad wack! What’s with these parents? Can’t stay on track! Don’t they know what they eat matters? They should put down those crispy chicken platters No one wants to be overweight Shopping for huge pants to hold your freight So listen up parents, it’s up to ya’ll The importance of your job is not small Shop smart, eat smart, cook smart too For your little ones will follow you Get outside and jump around Your healthy lifestyle will abound Lead the way with smart choices Sing vegetables praises with loud voices Drink lots of water, soda is for saps Then set off running around in laps Set the example for your rug rats Before they end up surrounded by fats Teach them young so when they grow They will already be up in the know You’ll look better, feel better, live longer too And all that fiber leads to healthy poo (this will become more important as you get older, PISA) But perhaps the biggest gift of all Is watching your kids grow strong and tall So listen to PISA and her dad Jack Cuz childhood obesity is mad wack

Thanks to everyone who participated and to the fine folks at the Coalition of Angry Kids for helping make it happen.

And thank you, Pisa, for being you!
