June chocolate winners!!!

We’re closing the contest a little early this month since I’ll be leaving town and I can’t do that in good conscience without sending people their chocolate first.

And just to prove that it really is a random drawing, the one person whom I didn’t want to win this month, won. I get sick of him saying all the time, “I win everything!” But I guess it just goes to show that who you believe you are becomes who you are.

So without further griping, this month’s winners are:

Patrick
Hannah
Elly

Congratulations! Your chocolate is on the way!

    Sorry! I don’t really win everything. :) I’ve just had a pretty good run going in front of you. :)

    In fact, you should see me play slot machines. I always lose slot machines.

    rb,
    as a former (actally the first)chocolate winner and wannabe future winner–i wish you and sue many exciting adventures on and wonderful memories from you trip across the pond, bon voyage–now we’ll see just how random that drawing really is.

  3. Patrick Says:

    HUH! Would you look at that. Some imposter popped in and tried to make me look average and humble. Normal even.

    Well, not *look*. I’d NEVER *look* average.

    I seem to recall explaining that I had submitted for chocolate and that I would win, since I win EVERYTHING. But I’m such a nice person, I won’t enter next month.

    I’ll just win bi-monthly. Is that fair to the rest of you?

    Wait, that might not work. I even win when I’m not playing.

    imposter–pleeze. average, normal (you may note, i have omitted humble). all i can say is, if the pointy-toed shoe fits…. one more observation, slots???? is this with your social security check? all the many times (four) i have been to vegas i have been proud to lose my money at the black jack tables (okay a few ill advised bets on the sports board; in fact once on the way to tahoe, via car, i rushed into ceasare’s with three kids locked in the car, before you get in a big ole’ twist, the windows were cracked, told the guy at the sports desk that i had no time to lose my $200 dollars in the time honored way and put it on a certain pac ten school, not to win but just not to be squished like a bug. on the way home, picked up my winnings, again with children safely secured in the vechicle, true story–problem is i didn’t bet nearly enough!)
    but what does any of this have to do with chocolate–you’ll know when you get the prize–very sweet. i think we can all agree that winning isn’t everything and can also agree that it is pretty darn fine.

    Wow, quite a confession there, casino babe. I’m sure your children have forgiven you by now. When you’re old and gray are you going to be one of those gambling grannies who catches the casino shuttle every morning and never has time to babysit?

  6. annette Says:

    this is but one of what i am sure are many parental lapses on my children’s list of “things to forgive mom for” and, like all life lists, it remains a work in progress.
    i’m hoping that by the time i’m taking the casino shuttle (which is inevitable, i’m afraid) i will have talked them into, as with free drinks, providing free daycare–super granny!

  7. Patrick Says:

    You shouldn’t feel bad, Annette. Obviously, there will be some parenting errors when you were raised by wolves. Russell Crowe? Do you know who he is?

    I never said winning is everything. It’s just that I win EVERYTHING. ESPECIALLY BLACKJACK. Last time I was in Vegas, I took $2500 from the blackjack table in about an hour.

    I did lose once. I was in Nome, AK for this little race thing called the Iditarod. Anyway, I didn’t win. No big deal. I had a blast anyway.

    I’m concerned for the people who get upset about my winning EVERYTHING. It just happens, like the tide, alien abductions, and comb-overs. You can fight it, but eventually you’ll learn to accept it.

  8. annette Says:

    patrick, what a terrible curse, i will light a candle for you. how’d you blow the iditarod (anything to do with using a team of lapsos?)

  9. Patrick Says:

    Technically, I won. The lawsuit says I’m not allowed to speak of it.
