“As you create a home, don't get distracted with a lot of things that have no meaning for you or your family. Don't dwell on your failures, but think of your successes. Have joy in your home. Have joy in your children. Have joy in your husband. Be grateful for the journey.” ~ Marjorie Pay Hinckley

I've never....

I was just on the computer last night and I was thinking. {no comments please} ;)

I don't think I've ever won an actual 'contest' before.

Like, never.

I win silly baby shower games. Bridal shower games too. I win card games. I've won basketball games. Once upon a time I even won a writing contest for my Creative Writing class (but that was like 7th & 8th grade....thank you again, Ms. Jacobus....wherever you are...!)

But I have never won a "contest". LOL

Not throwing a pity party. Just sayin'....

My luck seems to run out in the contest arena. {Unlike my sister Diana....that girl seems to attach a magnet to her entry forms....because she's always picked!}

It just got me thinkin'.

What have you ever won before? Like the BEST thing you've ever won before?

Never won much of anything. In school, I too won some writing contests and I think I won a jelly bean guessing contest once. That was a proud moment in my grade school years. But for the most part, nadda. I have a friend who won a car once. She's now the mayor of Saratoga Springs. When we were roommates and when we used to hang out, she would get stuff for free by being cute (and workin' it!) and she has always had awesome things happen to her (not that she hasn't worked for them too-but she seems to succeed in everything she tries). I still want to be her. I think some people (unlike myself) have an invisible tattoo on their foreheads that just say "WINNER" and life follows accordingly. I wonder where I can get one of those?

Lemme know when you find who has the "winner" stamp...I wanna stamp on MY forehead... ;)
