On The Side

Update #2: Or 2:17 p.m. Close, right? I'm sorry for the delay. The IRS just turned my world upside down and I had to finish that bottle of Scotch before it evaporated. The winner, chosen at random here: http://www.mdani.demon.co.uk/para/random.htm is #42! Congratulations to....hang on. One, two, three, four....five, six ... forty one, forty two,

AMANDA! Who said, and I quote: Yay! Free Stuff! Yay! Free Coffee Stuff! Dang, I never picked to win free stuff. :)Yay! Free Stuff! Yay! Free Coffee Stuff! Dang, I never picked to win free stuff. :)

Sugar, email me at boobsinjuriesanddrpepper@gmail.com because you didn't leave any contact info. I'll mail it out first thing tomorrow morning.

Next up, bath products for kids! Cos' you know those sumbitches are stinky.

Update: I'll be doing the random number generator at 10 a.m. cst. I'll post the winner immediately.

I'm going to do product reviews and give you free crap over here. Is that okay? I figured everyone loves free crap.

First up is a brand new Phillips One Cup Coffee maker in black. I was going to draw between everyone who donated and prayed for my grandparents, but some of you might not like coffee because you're COMMIE PINKO BASTARDS. HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE COFFEE? I'M ON CUP NUMBER EIGHT THIS MORNING.

Sooo, leave a comment if you'd like to be entered to win. I'll randomly choose a winner via a number generator on Friday and ship it out on Saturday :)

(Oh, and by the way? I've used one of these and they're incredible. I want to keep it because I love it and have named it Sasparilla, but you're more important to me and that sort of negates the whole "sad in my pants" feeling)

Crystal, you crack me up! I was actually drinking coffee when I read this, now it is dripping out of my nose from laughing so hard! Gee--Thanks!

Coco said...

I live and breathe coffee (literally sometimes, I accidentally inhaled grounds once not that long ago). I can always use more.

Casa de Castro said...

My motto: Coffee, at any time, for any reason is a good idea. I married a guy who prefers TEA! What was I thinking? Yes, he has other great qualities, so I try not to hold his disdain for coffee against him too much.

You rock, my friend. I always knew that. Now the caffeine meter in me knows it too.

Melissa C said...

Crystal, funny you should write about coffee: I just spilled my whole dang cup of coffee this morning... ALL over the floor of our van (note to self: cupholders do not work unless the cup is actually IN it!)

:-)

Melissa said...

Jess said...

Ah coffee - I have been known to roll out of bed just for the taste of it...and then rolled back into bed until it took hold of me and gave me back my will to move.

Real Live Lesbian said...

How cool!

Pick me! Pick me!

Beckie said...

Pleaseeeee pick me! My dad broke my coffee maker...ummm..in 2006.
6,842 trips to Target later and I still keep forgetting to pick up a new one. I suffer from early onset senility.

DONNA said...

FunnyGal KAT said...

My name is FunnyGal KAT and I'm a coffee addict (all together now: Hello, FunnyGal KAT.) This is a recent addiction for me, but I just can't quit me the wonderful, aromatic, scrumptious coffee. I don't want to drink it, I NEED to drink it. Somehow, I think I'm amongst a group of people who understand exactly what I'm saying!

Laura said...

Coffee?!? anything to do with coffee, and I'm in!!

jessemoya said...

I'm a coffee lover without a coffee maker! Can you believe it? I just moved into a new place and just got a microwave, but I don't have a coffee maker or toaster yet. Sad, right?

I'd name it Sas, because a one-cup maker doesn't need such a large name, I don't think.

MissMommie said...

oh me oh me me me me me!! Pick me!!! I loooovvveee coffee!!!

Mrs. H said...

Although I am a COMMIE PINKO BASTARD that doesn't drink coffee, my husband does. This would be a whole lot nicer than him wastin half a pot of coffee all the time.

Kendra said...

Absolutely sign me up for this :). Glad to see more of you in internet land..lol.

Michael said...

Oh, hi. I love coffee and I also donated. Not that this makes me awesome, but its true nonetheless (coffee and donated, not awesome). So there's that. Hooray!

Jill said...

SInce I am NOT a Commie Pinko - I puffy heart coffee.

Pick me- pick me!

Thanks Crystal- you rock!

PunkRockHillbilly said...

Me likey....me likey a lot. My coffee pot died in the move forcing me to buy ridiculously overpriced coffee. :(

Helen Tarnation said...

These are awesome and I even found a place to buy a pod maker so you can make pods with your own favorite coffee...even mixes and adding powdered flavored creamers! Alas, poor daughter who is putting herself through school at OU misses her coffee from home and can't afford one. This one's for you, Meggy!

Adesa said...

Crystal~
Not to try to increase my chances here, BUT I've had it with my $9 Walmart POS coffeemaker that takes a half hour to brew a half pot. In a half hour I could have down the whole pot, for cryin' out loud!

If I win, I promise to continue calling it Sasparilla. ;o)

mk99 said...

You've become a chain, just like Dolly Parton in Steel Magnolias :-)

I love coffee by the way.

happy said...

Without caffiene I would shut down. Thanks for all the laughs.

Sharon said...

Oooh, oooh! I want me some coffee!

Jenni S. said...

I'll take free coffee any day!

terryo said...

ode to caffeine -

(as sung to the tune of Sarah McLaughlin's "hold on")

Ohhhhhh GOOOOOOD the coffee maker I have is leaking,
won't you fix it before I walk through that door.

Am I in heaven here, with, not any cream?
The splenda boooooox is empty.
Now I'm weeping, thirsty, I stand here and pray..
that I'll win this contest and be awake today and I will PRAAAIISSEEE Crystal
and know the cup of joe I drink is coffee fresh..."


Um..yeah.

seven said...

Ooh... I love miniature things. You named it Sarsparilla? You are awesome.

Traci in Illinois said...

Matt said...

Caroline said...

I am a coffee addict! I get up early on Saturday mornings, before the kids, just to have a cup. Pick Me!

You rock Crystal.

Ambitious Blonde said...

I would give Sarsaparilla a lovely home! I'd feed him and walk him and spend lots of time with him....

Well, I'd spend lots of time with him anyway. I practically bleed coffee. :)

joerdie said...

Woot! your blog bee fresh! Keep up the good work! Cant wait to take my forst sip!

Bluepaintred said...

oh! OH! enter me. I love coffee. More than y kids, I think. maybe. Ok, on the days that they are being good and uhm. are asleep and stuff, I love them more. But when they are screaming at each other and encouraging the dog to play with the squeaky ball at 7 AM. Yup. then I choose coffee.

Kim said...

Oh coffee - yes coffee.

Wow that outfit really makes you look skinny, you need to gain a few pounds.

Did you get a new cut, your hair looks amazing!

Your children are beautiful and bright!

Your husband is handsome and one lucky man - does he know that?!

I don't know how you do it all, working, keeping house and raising loving, responsible children? Huh?


So......have I sucked up enough yet? Do I win? :D

Jaime said...

You remind me of myself but I have no children....Same humor but on the New England Side of the country..

Ann said...

Sasparilla!! Enter me too please :)

*Mini* said...

You can enter me. I don't drink coffee *ducks at the shoes that are being thrown* but my MIL does, and her birthday is coming up. Thanks, Honey!

SJ said...

Love your blog Crystal, and now this? Totally awesome.

I'd love to win!

Beth said...

I never win anything so why not continue that tradition and include me in your drawing! it is a running joke amongst everyone I know, how pathetic am I! Love your blog and I was happy to help your grandparents. I have always tried to pay it forward when I could. I hope more people can learn that lesson, this would be a better world.

jazy said...

Cup #8?? a slow day maybe?? I'm on 11

LOL

mommiebear2 said...

I would love to win this! I was not able to donate towards your grandparents because we really just didnt have the monies, but my thoughts and prayers were with them. :)

Becky, Mom, Mommy, Hey you, said...

I just want to say that's awesome, don't add me in the contest as one cup would just aggravate me and make me cry..just saying...

(if you pick this comment just give it to someone who gave money)

Thanks for the new site..

chrystal said...

I used to have a coffee maker similar to this one (by Tassimo), but it broke. You wanna talk about sad in the pants? Oh my gosh. I almost exclusively drink coffee, all day, every day, and then my coffee maker went kaplooey. My poor husband had no idea what to make of it when he came into the kitchen and I was crying over the loss of my coffee pot.

I took to driving 22 miles round trip every day to get to the nearest dunkin donuts for my fix. Gas prices be damned, I've gotta have my coffee.

ORKMommy said...

Oooohhh...I want one....please enter me kind lady! :-)

Michelle said...

My husband can't stand coffee. I've always wanted one of these so I don't have to make a whole pot just for me. Sign me up!

Chris said...

I prayed for your grandparents (and you for that matter, but that isn't what you asked) and I love coffee.

Anonymous said...

working in NW Washington in an office where no one else drinks coffee - please I am desperate!

thanks for starting something else to fill up my days...KAROLYN

debzy said...

I'd just like to say that I was proud to help your grandparents and I don't really need the coffee maker, so if I do win, you can keep it. I'm diehard...I chew on coffee beans...

no, really...well yeah they're wrapped in chocolate but still...

Jess B said...

I swear my hubby has coffee running thru his veins. He drinks that much. I'm sure he'd love this....maybe then I wouldn't "contaminate" his 12 cup with my decaf flavored coffees....

Lisa said...

All I can say is one word......YUMMO. Loves me some coffee. Bring it on, sister.

Oh, and you are funnier than hell. Not only do I read your blog and laugh my ass off, but then I read it to my husband, and we BOTH laugh our asses off.

Thanks.

igs4me said...

cool, i love this idea. i don't drink coffee. so please don't add me to the contest. give it to one of the other deserving entrants. i just had to say hi!
