in which i have a birthday and a giveaway

The blogger as a child.
p.s. it's my birthday.
And people at Starbucks like me. (I did get this for free, but it was not for the benefit of my blog.) 
(Obvi, it was a gift.)
There's a cupcake in that box! There's a hazelnut latte in that cup!

In other news, I'm having a 100 Followers/ It's my birthday giveaway.

You should enter.

I'm giving away the following goodies:
1. A $25.00 VISA giftcard.
2. An original poem, which will be hadwritten and autographed on pretty paper. It might be about love, about being a writer, or maybe the winner will be able to choose the topic. We shall see. This giveaway is a bit seatofthepantsspice.
3. A frame from my wedding day. In fact, this very frame:
4. A mystery. The fourth goodie will be a surprise until you open the package!
5. The whopper: I will dedicate a karaoke song to you, personally, and put it on my blog, vlogger style.

If you want to enter this smashing contest:

leave a comment.

1 entry if you follow and comment
1 extra entry if you tweet it out!
1 other extra entry if you blog about it
1 final extra entry if you tell me I'm pretty
1 last extra entry if you... tell me I look young.

That's five total entries if you do the whole shee-bang.

Ohh... careful.

Don't post about this on facebook or you will be disqualified.
(Hubs and Mom don't know I blog, dog.)

It's my birthday. You best be telling me how many total entries I should allow you, because I am not doing all the math. I hate math. If you don't total it out you are getting one entry and that is finalspice.

Lastly, this contest ends Sunday, March 7th
at a time tbd. So, enter early and often...

or else.

Happy Birthday!!

You don't just look pretty, you are pretty, and you are DEFINITELY still young.

(I believe that's three entries, but to show my sincerity you may enter me only once, because I would have given you those compliments regardless of entry points!)

Happy Birthday, chica! You look gorgeous and not a day over 21. I never would have guessed you're only a year younger than me. And congrats on the 100 followers. :)

I can't believe no one knows you blog, lol. Where does your hubby think you know all those blogging facebook people from?

I'll also tweet ya. So 4 entries for moi. Thanks for the contest.
Oooh...happy birthday! I agree with Amalia, you are pretty, and you are young. Definitely!

I'm down with one entry instead of three, as well. But I may mention your contest. And so if I do, I'll let you know.

Hmmm...glad I didn't post the link to my little Birthday Celebration in Your Honor on your wall this morning, then.
Jeney Peney said…
Happy Happy Birthday!(That's one)

You, my dear, are GORGEOUS! And you are the ever-flowing fountain of youth! (That's three.)

And I just tweeted about the giveaway! (That's four.)

I also tweeted you the Happy Birthday Song earlier... I should get an extra entry for that :-P (Should be five!)

You total rockspice, girl!
I mentioned you on my blog...so two, then. :)
My family doesn't know that I blog either! Because if they know, I couldn't write about them without hurting feelings. And wow, I'm pretty good at hurting feelings when I'm working stuff out. Does this similarity and coolness in blog clandestinity (which google doesn't think is a word, but it really is) make us blog-twins, because that would be awesomespice.

So anyway, I think that you shouldn't have to ask for compliments on your birthday because we were all going to tell you that you were gorgeous and talented and the very epitome of youthful beauty, however since I get a point for saying it -- there's 1 :) Also, I was going to blog about reading this post since I just got back from the doctor and was diagnosed with strep throat and how seeing a new blog made me happy. I think that since I was going to blog about it anyway, it shouldn't count as a point, but do what you will. So at any rate, 1 point or 4 points. It depends on how generous you're feeling :p

Happy Birthday!!!
Wendy Sparrow said…
You're pretty and young and full of awesomespice. Yay... Happy Birthday!!!! Woo woo. I'll go and tweet and blog about it, so just call this five. Mwah!
Happy birthday. I'm a follower and here's my comment: You are very pretty and look really, really young. :)
Ashley Stone said…
I follow you, I tweeted it, I think you are VERY beautiful, and you look SOOOO young!!!! (really your little girl pic looks just like you now!)

That's 4 entries. thx.
Travener said…
So young...so pretty...I only wish I could tweet about it.
Happy Birthday you young and pretty darling!! Blog link going up as soon as I am done.. I will cry if I don't win .. I am pretty sure the karaoke vlog is the BEST idea ever.. oh and a poem would be nice to and all haha.. happy birthday... from your adoring follower..

that would be 4 entries..
Travener said…
But I did blog about it.
Tina Lynn said…
Not only do you look young. I still think you look like a teenager. I got that same thing until I was 27, you made it two years longer obviously. And I'll call you pretty if you want, but I don't think that quite covers it. I think you're hot. #amberishot. So, I guess I only get four, cuz I didn't say you were pretty. But I'll tweet it now and blog about it tomorrow. Happy Birthday! Look at that. Saved the best for last:D
EmcogNEATO! said…
I agree, karaoke vlog thing? Great idea! I'm getting ready to tweet about this right now.

Also you're pretty and young. And happy birthday again! :D
Happy Birthday from your blogger birthday twin! :-)
MC Howe said…
Happy Birthday you pretty, young thing.

Husband doesn't know about your blogging huh? Good luck when he finds out. That only deserves mention on my blog.

I think that's 3 for me.
Kristen said…
hahaha. You don't need people to tell you you're young and pretty when you ARE!!

I wish the folks at Starbucks would give me a free hazlenut latte (with skim) my drink of choice. What a lucky lady.

The boyfriend knows I blog but most people don't. It's something of a secret escape ya know. congrats on 100 followers BTW

I agree with some of the ladies above. 1 entry for me :-)

Okay, just came back to make sure that I was last. Happy Birthday, late, but who cares. Cuz I'm last. Yes!
Melissa Hurst said…
Happy Happy Late Birthday. Sorry I didn't comment on the actual day but I was still doing the unplugged thing;)

Yes m'dear, you're extremely pretty and so young looking, why I thought you were only 20 myself!

I'll tweet about this fabulistic contest tonight! So let me think...that gives me
four entries (math is not my thing).

And neener, neener Teener, I'm last! HAHA!!!
SHE walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies,
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meets in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellow'd to that tender light 5
Which Heaven to gaudy day denies.

Yeah, I didn't write that but thought it when I read your post. Hows that? Lord Byronspice!
You, my dear, are the epitome of youth and beauty.
Tweet, donespice.
Blog, pendingspice.
Feliz Cumpleanos!

Penelope Wright said…
Happy birthday, pretty young one!!
Ok, I'm entering for me and again for Jake. Plus, I want to point out that you look so extremely young and attractive. Also... if you weren't married, Jake and I would appropriately ask you to do one of those 3-way kisses with us. Except Jake and I would need to be extra careful to make sure our tongues don't touch. So that equals 17 contest entries.

Closing Arguments, Trial 3. The Defense: Closing the Case of Adnan Syed v Alice LaCour and Brett Talley

  Would Hae Have Liked Pineapple on Pizza? If it Pleases the Court... Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, I want to start by thanking you for your time. It is no small task to put your lives on hold and focus in on the details and particulars and specifics of this case, and it may be a struggle to focus when you have to think about what you're missing at home. Your civil duty - and your willingness to fulfill it - does NOT go unnoticed. I mentioned "time." It's a relative, term, right? I had to wait in line at the post office for 15 minutes. I waited for the checkout gal at Wal-Mart for 20, because they didn't have enough lanes open. I don't know about you, but I try to be patient. Sometimes I fail to wait gracefully, but I really do try.  So. Look at Adnan. For over TWENTY-THREE YEARS he has been waiting... patiently. 23 years ago, I was about the same age as Adnan. I graduated high school in the spring of 1999, just like he did - or would have - had he not bee

20 Points in a Basic Story in the Botched Case Against Adnan Syed: I Must Be Insane as that's 5x More than any Other Basic Story Presentation I've Ever Seen

  Basic Story With 20 Points:  Could Adnan be Innocent? "It's not a cop-out; it's case law." ~Bob Ruff, host, Truth and Justice Pod   1 Adnan was the main suspect - Hae's family passed that along to Officer Adcock on the afternoon she disappeared. Originally, they suspected she might be with Don, even though she had to work at 6pm and had never once NOT brought her cousin home. Does anyone know how old the second cousin is? Two cousins lived with Hae. And Officer Adcock's Supplemental Report dated 1/13/99 states that Mr. Lee advises that she "did not pick up his two cousins from school.") Did they go to the same school, these cousins? Another question that could be explored is why Hae's uncle is the only immediately family member who doesn't live with Hae.  Another pain point for me - I'm confused as to why the cousins did not live with their dad, Hae's uncle... but look. Every family has different dynamics. I mean, I gues

Not The Nisha Call: Other Things to Consider in the Case of Adnan Syed

"If there is anything about my case, man - I want to know... I want to test it... There's nothing about my case that that I'm afraid of." - Adnan Syed Serial, Episode 12: What We Knew Instead of focusing on a flower and Jay's Changing Stories, Consider This: A) The policemen handling the Missing Persons Investigation did sloppy and lazy work. They back dated reports and failed to interview multiple people  thoroughly enough. B) The police did not interview the family robustly enough to understand what else might have been going on in Hae's life. They, to my knowledge, did not find a translator and instead relied on the guidance of her younger brother. C) A computer, a floppy disk containing electronic diary entries were noted and later went "missing"  D) Hae's email and AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) accounts were never researched thoroughly, and her online activity is relatively unknown, outside of her newly updated "away message" which s
