First ever NiceA GiveAway

I just love a good contest, don't you? Unlike some bloggers who give away fabulous prizes, I have no sponsors. But I DO have ten dollars provided by a donor who chooses to remain anonymous. And I want YOU to win it! Here's how:

Just finish the sentence under the picture on the right side of my blog, "She who does the wash...." If your sentence ending is chosen, the cash will be mailed to your home address in time to use for Christmas. (Hey, ten dollars is ten dollars. Some people don't even HAVE ten dollars to roll over. Just think about THAT, mister.)

CONTEST RULES:
Enter as many times as you wish. One entry per comment. Entry deadline is Friday, December 5, 2008, at 12:00 midnight, Mountain Time. Entries will be judged on how creative they are, how funny they are or how inspirational they are, whichever tickles the fancy of the judge, i.e., whatever mood he/she may be in at the time of the reading. Hormones and/or caffeine intake could determine the outcome. So could the behavior of certain junior high kids on any given day.

She who does the wash gets to keep the money in the pockets.

Nicea said...

She who does the wash shouldn't have to do the dishes.

Nicea said...

What?! I'm just getting you started. Chill, Bill.

Shawn said...

Quit taking all the good ones! She who does the wash is stupid.

Meg said...

She who does the wash also does the dishes, vacuuming, bathroom cleaning, dusting, cooking. . .shall I go on?

Meg said...

Sorry, that was a bit personal wasn't it! :)
She who does the wash has the power.

Meg said...

That last one is because a few weeks ago I washed a load with a sparkley purple crayon in it. Oh yes, the power to ruin even the most favorite of Brian's favorite Blazer shirts.
And one more:
She who does the laundry get the cake.

She who does the wash gets the last Diet Coke

Nicea said...

Oh, you brilliant people! I can't WAIT 'til Friday.

Nicea said...

I sense a dearth of men's entries in this contest. Is it because you don't do the laundry or because you do do the laundry that you are caused to pause? Granted, laundry does not even have broad(yes, a pun was intended - ha!)audience appeal even among the doers, but there is something noble in making clean, no?

Nicea said...

Megara - Reminds me of when we were waiting for our house to be built back in 1990 and we lived at Sundance for three weeks in a brand new house belonging to a colleague of Fred's. One batch of the kids' clothes contained...you guessed it...a crayon! Discovered melted in the dryer. Ay caramba!

Tell Brian I am truly sorry about his Blazer shirt, though.

Our latest episode was one of Fred's chapsticks in the darks load. None of his clothes picked up the greasy, waxy stain, of course. Only my things.

Doing the laundry may be nobel, but there's no justice in it.

Nicea said...

Make that noble. Although there ought to be a nobel prize for laundry.

I take that justice comment back. There is justice, but only if you get the last diet Coke.

Nicea said...

She who does the wash wins the nobel prize. You saw it coming, didn't you.

She who does the wash gets the sorest bum!

Jana Brookes said...

She who does the wash has the sorest back.

Jana Brookes said...

She who does the wash wishes she had an allergy to pet dander and also had a veterinarian husband, so she wouldn't have to do it, and she gets to make him do it all!!

Jana Brookes said...

She who does the wash is actually just grateful that she has a washer and dryer of her own and doesn't have to do it at her mother in laws anymore(like we did for the first year of our marriage). And also glad that she doesn't have to wash her clothes in the river Ganges, with cremated people, like they do in India!

Jana Brookes said...

She who does the wash buys less and less clothes, and donates more and more clothes to D.I.

Jana Brookes said...

She who does the wash is actually glad when socks get eaten by the washer / and/or dryer!

Jana Brookes said...

I really have to go now!! Hope I didn't take all the good ones, but knowing all my cuz's they will be coming up with more soon!

Nicea said...

Jana, you rock!

Jana Brookes said...

Nicea, I just love you so much! You are such a fun and cool Auntie! We need to get together and go to Gardener Village sometime!

annie said...

Nicea said...

Cle-e-e-VER, Annie.

annie said...

i don't have anything to say, but the WV is flartwee. it's just too good. have at it, fambly!

abbyjane said...

She who does the wash gets skinny because she gets lots of exercise from walking up and down 3 flights of stairs--for each load--to do so, but she does not get skinny because she only does the wash about once a month and/or when her husband is out of garment and refuses to wear them over again (whatever, it is not gross), or do the wash himself, because she sits in front of the computer thinking up endings to sentences like,"She who does the wash..." so she can win a contest in which the winner receives ten dollars because she is in that DIRE of a need for ten dollars.

Jeff said...
