Ghosts of Wins Past (2) - Socks.

I've been entering sweeps and contests for a lot longer than I've been blogging about it... there was a period of time when I thought I was doomed to a sweepstakes life of nothing but winning socks. I have actually won socks on three different occasions through three different sweepstakes.

Now, don't get me wrong, in the normal world 3 of anything isn't a lot... but in the world of sweepstakes it's not often that one sees socks as a potential prize... and to win the same basic oddball prize from 3 different sweeps is a bit ridiculous.

I've been making an effort to get into running more (my girl is a runner and would like me to join her). These days any time we're apart and I decide to hit the treadmill to stay on top of things and get in my practice run I find myself reaching for these most ridiculous winnings. these socks.

If memory serves one pair came from the NBA online store, one pair from one of the major cell phone companies and the other pair... I don't even remember anymore. All three pairs are really comfortable and nicely padded, probably better than I would have otherwise ever bothered buying for myself and besides the NBA socks they are all just white classic looking socks which suits me just fine.

So today, as I get ready to go for a good run, I say horray for the odd, the unusual, the out of place runt of the prize litter - Even you have a place my friend.

I'm Full of Lies

I said no more Microsoft Club Bing updates for a while but I had totally forgotten about one last prize:
It was so quick and easy to get that I had overlooked it... Having forgotten about that one I realized there's actually one more prize I'm still missing too. This one I think has really gone M.I.A. though seeing as I ordered it way back on October 18th. I already complained about it being missing once but now I'll have to complain again. The missing prize is just a little multi-tool, no big deal but still.

I'm starting to worry that I'm going to run out of good ticket making games to play... they have caps on how many times you can play each game and I really dislike how slow some of the other games are/how little they pay out. Boo.
