Ok boys and girls if you want an easy chance to score some free goodies listen up!

Michael over at Slightly Mordant is running a great little contest with four bitchin’ prizes

His prizes aren’t crap either…we’re talking some seriously nice stuff…seriously.

Entering is simple, any fool who knows their way around Hemingway (or the internets) should have no problem-o getting the anwser right

Go check it out and see if you can’t get yerself something nice (and tell him Bug sent ya)!

Hey y’all, I know I’ve sort of dropped off the face of the earth the last couple days but I’ve hauled my ass back onto the big blue ball for ya! I do apologize for the disappearance; The Hotness and I are going through a bit of a tough/stressful time with the company he works for. But that’s a different story for another day because folks I’ve got some great things to tell you about goings on here in the Blogsphere!

First on the list is the announcement of the Win It! winner for the Boca Java Scavenger Hunt! *drum roll please* Steph was the lucky devil that will be getting the half pound bag of Blogger’s Beach Blast Beans from Boca Java! Congrats girlie!

Second, if you haven’t already take a quick gander at the sidebar to see what sponsorships are up to then drag your eyes that-a-way! Yup, that’s all you my darlin’ readers! Y’all kick some serious ass! After the bad couple of days I had it was a helluva shock for me to login and check my sponsorships and see that so many of you great people had made the decision to donate Y’all made me smile big time and lemme tell you what, the American Cancer Society is going to put this cash to great use in the fight against cancer!

(A couple of the donations were unverified at the time of this writing but I’m sure they will get verified by tomorrow so I went ahead and put up their donations as well. If you need help with the verification process or did not receive a verification email please contact me at bug AT thelastcowgirls DOT com, thanks!)

I’m going to be emailing each one of the sponsors individually with in the next couple days to properly thank you for your support and get blog/website URLS if you have them so I can show some linky love, so keep an eye on those inboxes! Also, thank you to the two Anonymous Sponsors! It’s so mysterious and since I don’t have your email addys I just wanted to make sure you know I think you both rock whomever you may be!

I saved the best part for last y’all

I have the best friends in the world.

And that’s the understatement of the century.

Ok, I’ll stop stalling and tell you what’s up.

Maybe.

Ok I will (I’m such an ass sometimes).

My new bloggin buddy Oh Girl was kind enough to sponosor me and also did a great post asking her readers to support me in the cause! And the lovely 3T was kick-ass enough to sponsor me in my little mission to lay a whoopin’ to cancer. Then, she was sweet enough to email me asking if she could do a little advertising post to rally her readers. Little did I know just how kick-ass this woman actually is!

Not only did she do a great post about the Blogathon and my mission but she’s gonna hook up one of my lucky sponsors with a shweet prize!

If 10 more come and sponsor Bug, I will have a drawing with those 10 bloggers names in a hat, and draw one to receive a $30.00 Amazon e-certificate!

That means you get a tax write-off for the donation, and have the possibility of walking away with an Amazon gift card! The drawing will be done by LOL Tomboy with Kevin (her hubby) witnessing the drawing. The winner to be announced the day after the Blogathon ends.

How freakin’ cool is that? Perdy damn cool if you ask me So, if you haven’t cracked open the wallet and sponsored yet you may wanna start thinking about it because I’ll be adding more stuff to the prize pot as well and you can’t win if ya don’t donate!

Anyway, I’ve been catching up on my blog reading and chowin’ on milk and cookies but I think it’s time I hit the hay. Have a great day y’all!

Yep folks we have a lot of ground to cover here so hang on tight! Before we begin real quick I’d like to thank everyone for the comments and emails about the new look– y’all gave me the warm and fuzzies!

Onto Room #813….folks, I think it may very well be haunted! Rae from Bone of Contention was the very first blogger to crash in my humble abode and…well…he up and vanished on the last day of his stay! *cue creepy music* I do hope everything is ok with him, but while he was here y’all showed him a pretty good time! Here’s the stats from his 7 day rental of Room #813:

698 impressions
288 unique impressions
82 clicks
32 unique clicks
—————–
Price: 10 Credits

A huge thank you to everyone that went over to visit him! After I get the sheets changed on the bed and find some fresh towels #813 will be open for bidding again this evening. Since there’s a good possibility that the room is haunted I’ll be more than happy to leave a teddy bear on the bed and keep the night-light on after dark no one gets scared

Next on the list are the winners of last week’s San Francisco Tourist Trivia contest! I was pretty surprised at the number of people who did their homework and sent in the correct answers–smart cookies the lot of ya! All the “A+” submissions got tossed into a hat and two were randomly picked as the first and second place winners of the San Fran Prize Packs!

First Place: ::c:: from Kosher Pork
Second Place: Bunny from Bunny’s Babblings
If you have a moment drop in and say hi to these two smarties! Congrats y’all

There will be a new Win It! posted this Saturday so make sure to drop by–especially if you love coffee ;)!

AIS is powered by WordPress, and its lazy owner (that’d be me) still hasn’t upgraded from version 1.5. I guess I should really get around to doing that since they’ve had a couple big releases since I moved to WP from Blogger. I personally think WP is like the best thing ever on the planet but it got me to wondering, what do other people like to use to do their bloggin’.

I know there’s a plethora of platforms out there but which one do you use?

This is the last day for Win It! So get those entries in so I can get this stuff off my desk and to a winner already! Sheesh!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend, I’m dying bleach spots out of a pile of t-shirts our piece of shit god damned mutha fucking pathetic excuse for a lovely washing machine ruined. What’s everyone else up to this weakened?

Like my new word? Blork is like a blogger who’s a dork…yeah. I don’t really think it’ll catch on either but what the hell…may as well use it once and get it over with.

Fellow bloggers I must ask– Do you get really excited when you find yourself on someone’s blogroll? Especially when it’s someone who isn’t on yours already? I do, which leads me to believe I’m a dork, or blork, whatever trips yer trigger.

By the way if any of you haven’t gone forth and Googled to find the answers to this week’s Win It! you’d better hustle the fuck up because it’s gonna be over tomorrow at midnight (MST)! There’s some sweet San Fran goodies up for grabs and they could be yours and it won’t cost you a dime to get ‘em!

Also on a strange note: Our guest in Room #813 has gone *gasp* 404! Rae, what happened buddy? You’ve got me worried, 404 es no bueno dude!
