So, no… I didn’t do it. I decided I would give up something bad for me… sugar. Whenever I eat sugar I overdo it, therefore, I need to break that addiction.

Wow, let’s celebrate again!! Two days in a row! Yippie! I am walking on sunshine.

I found out this morning that I won an HD Aiptek 1080 video camera from Hobbyist To Lobbyist! This is an organization started by a someone I’ve been following on Twitter for some time now, @seedoflife. Here’s what he has to say about what he does:

Hobbyist To Lobbyist is an online vehicle that is designed to offer a personal economic bailout plan for many people who have not been fully utilizing their own gifts and talents.  Many people leave their homes each day to work at places with people in tasks that they do not like and suffer physically, emotionally, and spiritually as a result.

The goal of Hobbyist To Lobbyist is to provide the necessary amount of information and inspiration to allow each person to leverage their own personal interest or hobby into a full time business enterprise of their own.  People already operating businesses will be able to increase the efficiency of an existing business while reducing stress at the same time.

This seems like perfect timing that I won this prize!! Many of you know that I have been complaining for a while that I want to do something I’m passionate about through blogging. You’ve heard me moan and groan that I have to work and don’t make a lot of money from blogging. Well, Hobbyist to Lobbyist says NO MORE! I am working harder than ever on my real goals and hoping for the best! :)

In a strange way, I seem to win prizes I need. We really needed a couch and then we won one! My husband and I have been wanting a camcorder for months now, and I won one! I’m so thankful to win this prize.

Lots of people view me as a mooch. They see “sweepstakesgirl” or “Women Who Win” and they wish I wasn’t entering their giveaways. Well, I’m real person and I work really hard. I don’t enter sweepstakes or giveaways for things I don’t need. I’m really grateful.

I need to update my winnings page soon. I’ll let you know when I do. In the mean time, get yourself inspired and check out Hobbyist To Lobbyist!

Oh La La… I won the Reconnect With Your Lover prize pack from MySentimentExactLee, OhanaMamaBlog, EdenFantasys.com that I told you about the other day! HA! Woot! See, it’s possible. I won some pretty steamy prizes, including candles, lube, massage oil, chocolate tattoos, and other stuff. Awesome!

Ok, this post is not going to include giveaways and sweepstakes. See all my other posts for that. This is a rant– my true feelings, I just need to get them out!!

Why am I so annoyed? So fist-clenching irritated? I’m sick of blogging about sweepstakes and giveaways! There I said it.

I love the art of journalism and the usefulness of painting words. I love to write. I am overly passionate about woman’s issues, current events, world views, etc. Why oh why can’t I make a living by focusing on these issues? I work my hinney off on this blog about giveaways. I also have a real job. I’m not getting rich off blogging, although I’d like to.

I try to drop my Entrecard on about 200 sites a day. I have about 150 favorited already and I LOVE going to them every day. They are professional quality mom blogs, female businesses, and women bloggers. I am so jealous of them all. Their writing is humorous and yet interesting, their blogs are bloated with comments!

Ok, enough of the pity party. There isn’t much to comment on a giveaway list. I understand that. But I’ve got to do something for me… I want to write about trends, fashion, beauty, women in the news, motherhood, education, social issues, women in business, etc. I need to start a new project for me.

Please connect with me if you have ideas, feedback, suggestions… or if you want to slap some sense into me! :) Hopefully soon I’ll be launching something new– something I can pour some passion into. Something I can be proud of and, hopefully, something I can support myself and my family with monetarily.

Thanks for listening. Back to the wonderful world of prizes and winning!
