This “Fragile What” Chick is Fan-Fecking-Tab-U-Lous!

The results are in, my beloved audience. The results. Are. In. After a very close vote by the Academy, The Woman Who Is (Definitely) Not The World’s Worst Mother is………..

Drumroll.

Fanfare.

Gasps.

Frantically roaming eyes, seeking the winner.

The Winner is Beth, of Fragile What?!? . Beth’s daughter, Lauren, contributed to her mother’s glory by suggesting that Beth is NOT the World’s Worst Mother because she doesn’t throw her children down the stairs. They don’t have any stairs, mind you, but whatev’s! I’m sure that, if Beth wanted to throw a child or two down some stairs, she’d find some. She seems resourceful. CONGRATS, Beth!! Now stay tuned to see what you’ve won!

                                          

I decided that I wanted to give away something that was “Canadian,” so when I was in my Loblaw’s grocery store this afternoon and I smelled something completely sinful and thus wonderful, I knew I had found the prize for my contest.

At the Loblaws chains of stores, we have products called President’s Choice (PC). In a word, most of the PC products are Fan-Fecking-Tab-U-Lous. Food items, home decor, you name it. It’s all good. I have to say, I’ve found such a wonderful prize that I had to give myself one, too. This contest has been a lot of hard, exhausting work for me, you know. I need an award, too. So I bought two. One for the contest winner and one for me. After all, it wouldn’t be good to give away a product that I haven’t first tested myself, would it? That would be irresponsible of me.

So there you have it: the prize is the Candy Apple reed diffuser that is on the left of the picture above. Beth will receive hers all nicely sealed up in its original box. And no, sorry to say, the diffuser does not come with the gorge pumpkin wire basket thingy. That’s mine and I love it, so you can’t have it. Yours, my dear, will look like this when you receive it:

Be sure to take pics when you set it up at home to show me how you’re rockin’ it, ok? And, I have to say, the scent is full of awesome sweetness. ‘Nuff of the official business!

Beth, go on and celebrate! Tell the whole world that you have officially been ordained The Woman Who Is NOT The World’s Worst Mother. I don’t want to call you The World’s Greatest Mother; that might go to your head and then you’d forget all of us simpletons. That wouldn’t be cool, because, after all, we made  you what  you are. Don’t forget it, sweetie!

I jest. I jest.

Seriassly? Enjoy the glory, Beth! Enjoy it. Brag about it.

The rest of you? Don’t be sore losers. (Not that I expect you to be sore losers. You’re all awesome in your own right. Completely awesome.) I expect each and every one of you who voted to come back here and congratulate Beth!

Truly? This was way too much fun for me. I didn’t expect this Meme to take off like it did. I really appreciate everyone who took part, whether it was in a comment or an entire post. You’re all wonderful and, because we live in the 21st century, you’re all winners. Losers don’t exist any more because that might make someone feel bad. Boohoo.

Onward, Academy!

  1. Wow–neato gift. So Canadian.

    Congrats to Beth! You deserve it.

    And so do you, Kia!

  2. You are so funny! Really. You make me laugh out loud, and honey, I need that so keep it comin’ okay?

  3. Elizabeth, I’m glad that someone else thinks I deserve it. :)

    She, I’ve got yer back, baby! Any time I can make someone else feel better by making a complete ass of myself, I’m more than willing. I’m THAT kind of person.

  4. Yay, Beth. And I’m totally NOT hostile that I didn’t win. I don’t deserve it, I push kids down stairs all. the. time. Not my own children mind you, but sometimes other people’s children really deserve a good shove.

  5. Of course you deserve one, too… after all, you are also NOT the world’s worst mother. I still haven’t gotten to my post, but I’m definitely doing it. I’ll have to somehow work procrastination into the list.

  6. Spreading around more awards! Come retrieve yours!

  7. Congrats, Beth! And way to go, Kia! Picking out an awesome award and getting yourself one too. Question is, did you give a speech as you set it up next to your fabulous baskety thing?

  8. Lucky Beth! And PC stuff IS fun! That’s why I have to shop at a non-PC grocery store.

  9. Congrats Beth! And I am happy to report that I am OK with being a loser. However, if the prize were alcohol related, I would have been PISSED!

  10. Congratulations! Well done! If I’d won, I totally would have shared my prize with you. Just saying.

  11. Congratulations!

  12. LOL! This was great to read!! Congrats, Beth!

  13. awesome prize!! congratulations!!

    do they have a web-site?

  14. mrsb, LOL! seriously…should i report you or has someone already done that? ;)

    tonggu, yes, definitely add the procrastination. :)

    elizabeth, THANK YOU!!! will come to retrieve award sometime early this week!

    andrea, of COURSE i gave a speech. hubby and little man looked at me like i was insane, but they weren’t too surprised. my insanity has become pretty common-place around here… sigh.

    beck, yes! i definitely spend more when i shop at a pc store. even WITH their new competitive prices…

    laura, i totally get that. note to self: send laura booze if she ever wins one of my contests…

    marinka, sharing is totally over-rated. just ask my hubby and my kid.

    krystal, it’s good you asked. in case anyone else is wondering, the website is http://www.presidentschoice.ca !! :)

  15. Awesome gift. I may have to try and find one of those things here. Charlotte has just managed to smear her poop all over her carpet. Again. So I definitely need some sweet smellin’ goodness in my house. I swear we are going to start smelling like a zoo if I can’t get my daughter potty trained soon. Yikes.

  16. [...] Top Ten Reasons I MIGHT BE The World’s Worst Mother Even though I did win the award for not being the worlds worst mother I had to do this one [...]

  17. [...] Prize Arrived Woot!!  I recieved my prize that goodmum sent me for being The Woman Who Is (Definitely) Not The World’s Worst Mother on October 13.  I was all excited to see a package at my front door [...]
