Thrill of Winning

I am addicted to entering contests (among other things we won't talk about now). So the other day I was so excited to receive an e-mail informing me that I had won a $50 shopping spree on a specific website. So, I go to the site and see that all they have are clothes. Great!! I love clothes. And wow!..the clothes are sooo cute. And........not one thing would even fit around my thigh...

The really interesting thing about this experience was that I was not even that upset about it. I was just super excited that I had actually won something. That I was going to get something for free was exhilirating. I realized that I enter and enter these contests just for the thrill of winning. I think I could have won a pack of gum and I would have felt just as happy.

Do you get a thrill from winning something? Is it natural to want something..anything for free?

Maybe due to the fact that we pay through the nose for everything these days getting something for free is just more thrilling. Of course, I realize it could just be those of us with some strange winning addiction. Keep it real and let me know.

Hello

Ok, let's keep this real...
I am a West Coast born girl trapped in Jersey on the East Coast. I say what I mean and I mean what I say. I have opinions...we all do. For my age....32...I have done a lot and yet feel I have so much yet to do. I am married to a great guy...blah blah blah. I have no kids...yet! I have two dogs and then my mom's mutt (in other words 3 dogs). I live in a cute town in Jersey where I help with my husband's business (Masonry Contractor), my mom's business (Legal Process Service), and I have an ebay store "Danny's Crazy Deals". I make crap on Zazzle.com for sale...I enter online contests like there is no tomorrow...I am attempting to write a book...attempting to lose weight...and now I am attempting to write a blog. The truth is..I get bored easily. I am always looking for the next adventure...so here I go.....
