The Winner is (Week 3)...

February 06, 2009

It's been a quiet week, here. My flu last week crawled into my sinuses (I know, yuck) and it's just fuzzled me up. But the response to last Saturday's post Into the Looking Glass was so, so awesome. It was just one of those moments - you know?

Anyway, thanks again. And without further ado, this week's winner is...
Sharky Malarkey!!!

OK, on to the last week... ready? (All of last week's unique, non-related to me comments after the jump)

The Winner is (Week 2)...

January 30, 2009

It's WEEK 2 Here at the Corporate Mommy Speedway and again, we have 20 amazing comments to choose from (disallowing relatives, myself, spammers, and the odd sheep).

Drumroll, and...

Congratulations, REBECCA!!

And the winner is.... (Week 1)

January 23, 2009

I want to thank all y'all readers, lurkers, commenter. It ain't easy coming back from the dead.

OK, enough chit-chat. Down to the nitty gritty... There were 20 unique comments from last Friday until midnight last night. I created a special template file to output the list (Oy, cuz I have to do everything the hard way?), and then blindly used Mrs. Glosser's utterly random number generator to pick this week's winner.

Drumroll, and...

Congratulations, NIC!!

See the wonderous list after the jump:

30 in 30 : Commenting Contest!

January 16, 2009

The Corporate Mommy website is officially re-launched!

Opinions? Ideas? Tomatoes?

Yes, I did all the code myself. And boy, are my arms tired.

I wanted more white space, and like a dozen other things, but this is what I was able to do with my limited skills. I think it is a vast improvement, but then - I'm biased. I put more time into this than into labor, giving birth!

My big worry now is... will there be anything to read? I haven't written professionally since last August. Or personally, really. Writing is a muscle; and mine has been increasingly unused for a year due to... well... OK there's no good way to say 'Brain Infection'.

I've come up with an exercise regime to get my writing back into shape: I'm going to scribe 30 posts in the next 30 days. I don't know if this will all come back to me, or some, or none.

What would really, really, with sprinkles on top help is...feedback. Comments letting me know what YOU think.

Because of the generosity of a wonderful person, I have some $25 Amazon gift certificates to give away.

ANY LEGITIMATE COMMENT IS ELIGIBLE (in other words? no spammers, 'bots, blood relatives, or 'this is a comment' comments). If you don't leave a valid email address with your comment, then you can't win on account that Amazon sends the gift certificate via email.

Be assured: I do not collect email addresses, sell them, use them, whatever. Also? Email addresses are garbled into the code of this blog so no one can scrape them (go ahead and "view page source" to see what I mean).

This is just a little splash of gratitude and fizz to thank you for your help.

Details: I'll be giving away one AMAZON gift card ($25) every Friday for the next month to a different commenter each week.

At the end of each of the next 4 weeks (a week being Friday to Thursday) - I'll pick a comment randomly (I'll post the results here). The giveaways will happen on: Jan 23, Jan 30, Feb 6, and Feb 13. The gift cards are virtual and will be immediately sent to the email address associated with the comment.

That's 25 big ol' smackeroos just for stopping by.

So, help a girl out - get some money for those "Lost" DVD's. It's that easy.

Ready?

Set?

Wait, wait... did I say thanks for your help? Because, really. THANKS.

GO!

(PS, I still have some link-cleaning and CSS edits to do but the website overhaul is mostly done. Please let me know if you find a broken link or something looks wonky. )
