 "Pin It")
This has been amusing, but I should probably explain for the benefit of those who aren’t already intimately familiar with my occasional quirks. I was playing around with the Pinterest button-maker, trying to make a button to help promote James’s post. It was late, and I accidentally hit “Publish” instead of “Preview Changes.” They both start with “P,” right? So anyway, I was too tired and just said, “Oh, forget it – they’re all used to me by now. No one’s gonna bat an eye.”
I would have changed it the next day.
But then the comments started coming, and it was just funnier to leave the lone button – like some kind of weird modern art piece – and watch the conversation unfold. I’ve never played this game, by the way, and it appears to be unavailable for my Windows phone. But carry on… this has been quirky good fun.

Refreshed and Renewed
Hi. I’m Holly, and I’m a contesting addict. Clearly, it’s an inherited trait. No doubt, social media analysts in Las Vegas are studying my habits, trying to figure out how to turn me to the Dark Side and hook me with a full-blown gambling addiction. While that’s not likely to happen, one thing’s for sure – the contesting does eat into my sleep time. This is where I need your help. Last night, I figured out how to mix the two – I found a contest that, if I win, requires me to SLEEP! Nirvana. Heaven. Doesn’t get much better than this.

Promotional Provocation
In all honesty, I think I may finally have met my match in this contesting thing. Its hard to compete against Dragonblogger – using Rafflecopter and an iPad3 giveaway to promote his contest entry. Clever man. Still, I’m not giving up – despite the fact that I could greatly increase my odds of winning his iPad3 if I’d just stop struggling and enter his contest a few more times, myself…
Seriously – enter Justin’s iPad3 giveaway contest, but please, come back and click my sharing buttons, too (in exchange for my telling you about one of the few legitimate, trustworthy chances to win an iPad3, if nothing else!) and leave me a comment (or sixty-two!) on my contest entry, "All My Contest-Winning Strategies Revealed – for FREE!"
Pin the Tail on the Post!
Oh, c’mon – what’s a party without games? 
Just click – ooh – wait, I think you got the squirrel’s tail on the donkey’s a–er, never mind. It looks just FINE that way. Have a drink!
