PHEW.

*Deep breath*

I have now entered literally about 25 different giveaways trying to get me a dang Silhouette, with multiple entries and postings (on FB, blog, etc.) and liking or following this or that, whatever they told me to do...I only drew the line at actually opening a Twitter account so I could "tweet" about it...

...and I probably still won't win one and it will have been a waste of a good few hours.

But then, what if the fates smiled on me and I actually won? (You would hear me screaming, no matter where you live.) Nothing ventured, nothing gained, right? And I'm on vacation out of town, so it's not like I had a bunch of other important stuff to do...

The fact is, I don't have the $$$ to use their fabulous "if you didn't win, you can still buy one for way cheap!" discounts (it's still two hundred stinking dollars!), so I can either try my darndest (which, trust me, I truly have) to win a free one, or definitely not get one at all.

I'm not sorry I did it.

I will probably cry if...okay, most likely when...I don't win one, no matter how sternly I tell myself to be realistic, but I had to try.
