40,000

well, friends, it's a bit of a milestone day here at agentorangerecords. today i reach 40,000 visits to the old blogstead. and so, to celebrate i want to give something away!
--
i have had many visitors to this blog of mine, and i never even thought that would happen. but what is even more unlikely is that some of you who visited came back. i know, its hard to believe, but for some reason you keep reading. i don't know if it is because i make you laugh (at my own expense), or because it's like a train wreck that you just can't stop looking at, but whatever the reason, you keep coming back. forty thousand times. so thanks.

to celebrate, i'm giving away this collage:


it is called sunburst. i've shown it here before. up until today it has been for sale in my etsy shop. but now i'm giving it to one of you. all you have to do is comment on this post and answer this question:
--
other than money, what would you like to have 40,000 of? (you can comment as often as you'd like, but it won't help your chances. you only get one shot.)
--
also, starting tomorrow, i'll begin a 10-day series of collages and poems based on the book of esther. at the end of those 10 days i will give announce the winner of "sunburst." good luck. and keep visiting. here's to another 40,000.

cool.

I'll go first.

I'd like 40,000 hugs and kisses. They seem to go together. If you're a stickler about that duo, I'll just take hugs.

it was one of the first things that popped into my head.

looking forward to esther!

I'd like to have 40,000 days to spend with Jack and Cade. Other people can be there too as long as they are there with me! Sounds like heaven to me.

I have to steal Keith's answer, but it would be for my husband, not me! 40,000 hrs of paid vacation - we could get so many home improvement projects done with that!!! But it wouldn't be much of a vacation...

I'll have to say 40,000 kisses from my husband and daughters.

Dang, and I thought I was doing well with 20,000 hits. Way to go!

Easy: 40,000 free roundtrip airline tickets to anywhere in the world.

Or a 1952 Vincent Black Lightning motorcycle with 40000 miles on it.

i'm giving away the swamp

so this is a collage called swamp. i made it in february of last year. it is currently framed in a homemade, hand-painted frame. it is paper collage on a book binding panel. it is 7" x 10". and i am giving it away. i've been wanting to have a blog giveaway for some time, and the time has finally arrived. here's how it works. all you need to do is leave a comment on this post. by leaving a comment you are automatically entered into the contest (as long as your comment offers a way for me to get in touch with you, or you know that i know you). the contest will be open until next wednesday at noon, eastern standard time. at that time the contest will officially be closed and i will pick a random number. the person whose comment matches that number wins! for example, if i happen to pick the number 33, the thirty-third comment will win. oh, and one more rule: you can only post ONCE. if you win, i will send you the collage, signed by me, the artist, free of c...

bad haircuts (for a laugh)

everybody needs to laugh.  one good way i have found to make that happen is to do a simple google image search for 'bad haircut.'  when you do so, some of the following gems show up.  thankfully, my 9th grade school picture does NOT show up.  otherwise, it would certianly make this list!  please laugh freely and without inhibition.  thank you and have a nice day. 

affirmed

i cannot express today the feeling i have. this picture that i found sort of expresses it but not really. for the last ten years i have poured myself into this vocation, daring to believe that God, the very God of all creation, has called me, even me, to this work. along the way many have affirmed me in this journey, but i have continued to work for the ultimate affirmation, ordination as an elder in the united methodist church. and now i have it. after two grueling (and i mean grueling in every possible sense, really) days i recieved the call today that the board voted to recommend me to the annual conference for ordination as an elder. and as i have already said, i cannot even begin to express the emotion i feel with words like relief, joy and satisfaction. there will be plenty of time for me to reflect on this and i will have more to say about it as i do that reflecting, but today is really a day for celebrating for me, and for thanking those who have journeyed with me and s...
