woohooo!
we had a contest at work between regional stores, and whoever met and/or exceeded their sales goals for the month of december would win as a store, and then prizes would be divied up amongst all employees. well, we were the winning store - yay! - and as we are a small staff, everyone would win at least a $250 amex giftcard, but 2 employees would win 60g ipod video, altec lansing docking/speakers and a $50 itunes gift card - total value $550! and you guessed it - i won! :D

very, very cool! :cool:
hubby and i already own ipods, but certainly not the 60 gig, and this is a very nice speaker system too....so yay me.
Stay with me...
Let's just breathe...


I am myself like you somehow

    Congratulations! :)

    got it today! :)
    i had it wrong though....it's a 30 gig ipod video...and a logitech speaker docking, so not quite what i had originally thought/posted, but still......damn fine nonetheless, and still worth as said, so very cool.

    at present i have a 20 gig as does my husband, althoughhis is before color screens, whereas mine is from 2005....and he recently got a nano....so yea, we have quite a lot of ipods and some great accecessories, periphery devices....excellent stuff! looking forward to getting a LOT of usage out of it all. :D

    haha...i won.....AGAIN!
    :D


    i didn't even know there was a 'contest' but yea, this time, i won an ipod shuffle. :p if i knew, i would've actually tried, b/c top prize for 2 was $2K gift card to best buy, quite nice. i'd guess about 25 - 45 employees won shuffles thruout the company, so pretty cool. i am the only one within my store to win anything this time around :o crazy stuff. so yea, i have quite the ipod collection now. :)

    it's all relative...but sure, size DOES matter. ;)


    in regards to lotto winnings though, i am pretty easy to please. i'd be more than happy to win $1k a week for life.......quite nice. sure, i'd take more and be happy too....but that would suit me just fine. :)

    I agree, it's all relative...the closer it is..the bigger it appears...is that what you mean?? Anyway, sure would love to win the lotto as well..
