Talking Smack and Eating Crow?

Except it isn't me that is doing the eating!
I posted slowly about my winnings as they tumbled into my inbox, and one of my readers/friends told me how she wouldn't enter for fruit roll ups, they eat much healthier than that.

Well, then, in my inbox I found this email from her, and she doesn't want to be identified for fear of being called a dork, but I think this is the BEST email ever, and I laugh every time I read it.

Dear Lisa,

Before you read any further, I want you to be sure you are sitting down and have swallowed everything that is in your mouth. I don't want to be responsible for you spewing stuff all over your computer screen or choking on a chicken wing and dying, leaving your poor innocent children behind to fend for themselves, having nothing but the Fruit Roll-ups that come in the
mail to survive on.

I'm serious about this...did you do it?

Okay.

Now, getting back to the contests discussion. Remember a couple of days back when we were talking about winnings and you said you had won a box of fruit roll-ups? Then you wrote that you had won a second box? And now I
read on your blog that you have won a third box? And then do you remember how I said that I would never enter to win a box of fruit roll-ups because we never eat those things? And I kinda made fun of you guys eating fruit
roll-ups in my next five emails?

Well, after you had won the second box and I told you I would never enter for something like that and I had already entered all of the contests that I had wanted to enter, I got this strange idea that I would go back to the list,
do a search for "fruit" and find those fruit roll-up contests that I had skipped over the first time. I don't know why I did it...insanity, most
likely...I just saw you winning so many and thought how funny it would be if I
entered one and actually won it away from you. Perhaps I was just trying to save your family from fruit roll-up overload.

Anyway, when I went back to enter, I think
there were about three or four fruit roll-up contests listed, but they had all ended early or had strange entry requirements, with the exception of one, which I wrote my little blurb for and then submitted my entry.

I am sure by now you know where this is going.

Yes, out of 86 entries, mine...#83 was drawn to win a box of personalized fruit roll-ups. I am going to be eating crow for a long time.
Perhaps that is what I should have printed on them.

Hope your winnings are still pouring in. Perhaps you could try winning something
other than fruit roll-ups. Now if you come to visit, I will be certain of having something on hand to serve you.

M~

Isn't that great? I think it was so fun and well written. And to top it all off, she not only won a box from under my nose, she won it from my real life BFF! How is that for funny!?!

OH, and Sarah, why didn't you pick me? Huh? I think my story was winning material. Just kidding!
