    Default I won, I won....

    I won the whole $2000 worth of gift cards from the Piggly Wiggly. They brought me ballons and a t-shirt too. They took my pictures with a big sign and said it will be in the newspaper. I talked with dh and we want to give $100 to the food pantry and $100 to our neighbors who we help with chores as they live on disability. I am so excitied.

    Congratulations!!

    Now can you do me a favor? When you go shopping with your giftcards, make sure you get a splurge item! Something you normally don't get-something exciting and yummy and totally out of the norm!!!


    How exciting!
