Winner of the CSN Giveaway

This little story is my link to Saturday Centus for week 45. The prompt is in bold.

To visit other links, just click here. To see who won the giveaway, just scroll down past the story.


He had never been accused of being intelligent before, but seriously he had never thought of himself as this obtuse.

When Jenny had asked him to select a winner from the CSN giveaway on her blog, he found himself stymied.

No matter how he did it, “Eenie, meenie, minie, mo…” didn’t have nearly enough words to get all the way through the 110 entries for the contest.

He found himself even more confused when she had impatiently told him to just use Randy Org to pick the winner.

No matter how hard he googled, there was no phone number for a person with that name.



Drum roll please...

Being much smarter than the fictional character in this silly little story, I knew how to pull up the Random Org website...

And here's who won!

See I do know how to follow directions and I'm a follower too. Cute post. Wonder if that is how his parents got ready for company.

Congratulations, Miss Donnie. I already have the Gift Code here so as soon as you e-mail me I can send it to you and you can start shopping.

Thanks everyone for participating.

    Hi Jenny. Thanks so much for this great CSN giveaway. Don has already asked if he could have it. He better not say anything about how much time I spend on line any more...lol...I am so thrilled.

    Woo Hoo! Lucky girl that Donnie.

    I guess I'll just shuffle off in my dark house and wait for another recessed lighting give away. Oh well, maybe next time! :(

    Congrats Donnie! ~Ames

    Was Mr. Jenny upset by your dim characterization of his abilities? He may never 'volunteer' to pick another winner again, you know.

    Great way of weaving real life into the prompt!

    Hi Jenny Sweetie...
    Oh I am so thrilled for Donnie. She is going to have fun with this one, or should I say Don is going to have fun with this one. Oh my. And they complain about the time we spend blogging when we win something just for them.

    I love coming to see what you are up to sweet friend. I hear through the grapevine that you are possibly coming to Merie's for the crafting day. I hope so, I would love to meet you in person sweet friend. What a treasure you are.

    Have a glorious Sunday sweetie. Many hugs and much love, Sherry

    Congrats Donnie! Have fun shopping! And Jenny, I'm still over the moon about your prompt for this week. This makes up for the Valentine's Day prompt. And the 25 word challenges. And even the grenade deal. Hugs, Kat

    Very funny - I can just imagine someone doing that! It's a bit like the blonde and the 'you have mail' message.

    Hi Jenny,
    Thanks for stopping by to leave a message on my blog the other day. Lottery? I wish! LOL! Recently I have not been able to check the blog as much as I would like. My family needs all my time right now. But I do hope to return to blogging asap! :-) See you soon.

Hi! Thanks for leaving a comment! My handy dandy e-mail assistant always notifies me when you do and I read every single one.

I try to respond to comments with a return e-mail BUT I just noticed that I've been answering a lot of them to blogs that haven't linked their e-mail address to their Google account! I haven't been ignoring your comments, but now I know you aren't getting my reply e-mails! I'm sorry!

I know a lot of other bloggers who respond to comments via e-mail so if you haven't left off your e-mail on purpose, you might want to add it on! If you don't know how you can let me know in your comment and I'll see if I can help you!

Thanks so much for reading my 'Tangents'! Your comments always feel like a hug!
