Do you know what this is? Do you? It's.... (drumroll) MY 200th BLOG POST!!!!

Wow, can you believe it? Two hundred blog posts in seven and a half months. I know that's like a drop in the bucket for some of you out there. I bow to your greatness!!!

I've been pondering for a week or so about what I would do for my 200th post.

• Another giveaway?






• Should I make it all about you guys? Maybe highlight all the wonderful friends I've made out there in the blogosphere? (That one just came to me, and I really do like it--but, I might be just a little too caught up in my own limelight to do it here and now--LOL)






• Should I follow the examples of a few others (and here), who are daring enough to let their readers ask them any questions they wanted--and answered them? I don't know if I'm that daring. Plus, I'm not sure I have enough of a readership to make it very interesting anyway. Plus the fact that I'm not sure anyone really wants to know that much more about me anyway. (No whippings please, just my own insecurity ya' know).






• OR, maybe I'll just arrange a big 'ol party for you all to attend in my honor! (Dang, is my hat getting smaller or something?)






• OH! I know, I'll could blog about what I've learned in the last 200 posts.

So, what to do? What to do? I guess I don't really have to do anything. Hmm, then all this angst for naught. Nothing like angst-ing in vain. And really, I'd like to do something fun anyway.

Well, regardless of what I decide upon, I see a couple of great post ideas here.


So, I think I will take a few questions from you, my faithful readers. Now, I'm not daring enough to say I'll answer ANY question put forth--but I will try to if it's not too...ahem, risque'. I have a PG rating down there, and I'd like to keep it. If you're not sure, throw it out there anyway, and I'll decide if it's too hot a topic for lil ol' me.

Now, lest I sound too narcissistic here, there is something in this whole thing for you. I will be doing another blog giveaway--because I really do appreciate all of your comments and your friendship these past 200 posts.
Here's the kicker---it's a surprise. I love surprises. Hope you do too. It's something I have made though(hint, hint) and it's filled with a few other surprises as well.

SO, this little giveaway will run for 200 hours. That's 8.3333333 days. Since I'm not real good with the math, let's just say that this means that the contest is up next Tuesday at 6:30 a.m. ( I think that's approximately 8 and 1/3 days from right now).

So, in a nutshell, leave me a comment---that's an entry.
Leave your comment in the form of a question---that'll count as an extra entry.
And of course, if you mention it on your blog--that's an additional entry. (just let me know in the comments)
Next Tuesday I'll draw a name from all the entries and that will be the big winner. And in the process, you'll have provided me with a great post topic for next week--answering your questions.

Edited:::: OK I've added pictures now of the giveaway items. For a description of what you're seeing here, visit this post.

So, good luck to ya'all. Hope I made sense. :P
