I love free stuff!

As you know, for blogging about shutterfly, I got the 50 free Christmas cards. For actually ordering them, I got 101 free 4 x 6 prints! I love free stuff! :) Now I just need to get a photo album to put them in. If only I could win the Sears sweepstakes, I'd be set!

I don't win stuff like that though. I have to earn everything. I dislike lucky people who win stuff. I just think that it's unfair for us unlucky people. The only thing I have ever won in a random drawing type contest is a dog bed at the BX when I was like 13. I tried convincing my dad that it meant we needed to get a dog now. It didn't work. We ended up giving it to my babysitter.

I won a contest in the 4th grade for fire awareness or something. The whole school had to draw posters and I won 3rd place, and got a little plaque. I earned that though. So that wasn't luck.

I've entered a lot of contests whether at school, or a store sweepstakes thing, yeah, I never win. Although, I would rather be lucky in life, than things like that. For example, I'm lucky to have found such an awesome husband so early in my life. I'm lucky that I didn't grow up on the streets. I'm lucky my parents (daddy and step-mom) aren't abusive or psychotic. I'm lucky I was born in a free country. Things like that, yes, I'm lucky. Still, it'd be nice if I could win a big contest just once in my life. *sigh*
