Winner

I know I've been MIA for a bit, but I'm just trying to recoup from the trip to LA and get life back on a seemingly "normal" schedule. That said, I took time over the weekend to decide on a winner for the Caption Contest Giveaway!!

The captions you guys supplied were HILARIOUS!

Here are all the submissions:

Look, if I've told you once, I've told you a DOZEN TIME! When I'm on the set, I only wear SWEETHEART NECKLINES! Get it, sweetheart? Jesus H. Christ on a cracker, it's like I'm working with trained monkeys... POORLY TRAINED MONKEYS!

"Uhh there is a fee for taking MY picture...!"

"You got a problem?!? These are my ruffles, go get your own!"

"Its your birthday, wear the ruffles if you want to."

And a couple that were texted to me, but don't count because they weren't actually comments ON the blog post:

"For the 10th time, I don't want a towel. I want to stay and swim!"

"Why do I have to get out?"

And the WINNER is:

"You got a problem?!?
These are my ruffles,
go get your own!"

That one was my favorite and I thought the most fitting! Plus, she gave me a GREAT idea for a new card to send out to friends and family!! Woot!! Don't worry, there will be more chances for you to win stuff here! Thanks for participating!!

Hit Me With Your Best Shot (Caption Contest Giveaway)

Earlier today, my dad sent me this photo in a text message and said:

DO YOU REMEMBER THIS PICTURE?

WHY DO YOU LOOK SO UPSET?

And I was like,

"Hahaha! I do remember it
but I don't know why I was so upset."

But seriously. I don't know why I was upset.

Maybe it was because:

- I saw someone else with my same bathing suit

- My brother/sister did something to get on my nerves again

- It was part of being a little girl who throws fits

- I crapped myself in public again

- I was born with a pre-packaged amount of attitude and it JUST now decided to show itself

Really who knows. I sat for a few minutes trying to think of a fun little caption for this photo, but I couldn't think of a good one. I mean, I know it's out there, I just don't know what it is.

Maybe you could help me?

Maybe if you help me I'll give you a nice reward?

Okay here's the deal. You caption the photo by leaving a comment on this post only, and at the end of the month, I will pick my favorite and send the winner a $10 Starbucks gift card, a little love note from me via snail mail, and a special cool gift that reminds me of you from my trip to LA. Sound like a plan Stan?

Really what do you have to loose? You have the rest of the month to put your thinking cap on. Your caption won't offend me—seeing myself in that bathing suit has already accomplished that. So caption away!
