Dairy Queen, you let me down

It's my birthday in a week and I have been a loyal email customer of Dairy Queen for a year now simply to get the one free blizzard on my birthday.

Okay if I was totally honest, I signed up for the free blizzard to begin with. They swayed me with the "get a free blizzard with email sign-up" and then switch a roo'd me with a BUY 1 first AFTER I signed up.

I mean really, do they not understand some people live alone and just want ONE blizzard? Sometimes I DON'T want to bring a friend to DQ! Sometimes I just want to run by and use a coupon for a free blizzard!!

BUT NO!!!

They have to throw in the BUY 1 crap first.

I have bought many ONE blizzards - PB Cup, Oreos, Snickers, Cookie Dough . . .

And I mean, blizzards are not cheap at almost $5 each. It is nice to have a blizzard that will last me all week and have little spoonfuls here and there, but it's just not cheap.

I didn't even get the one free with my email sign-up, but I figured it's okay I will get a free one on my birthday.

NOPE!! Buy 1 first.

AGAIN.

ON MY BIRTHDAY?!?

A girl can't even get a free blizzard on her birthday.

Sigh, I gotta say Dairy Queen you let me down. BIG TIME.

That's okay, I guess I'll just hit Baskin Robbins up for their $1 scoop night on the Tuesday before my birthday. It's not a BLIZZARD, but it will do.

I guess.

*************************
This just in - a coupon from baskin robbins for a free ice cream! HELLO!!! I am officially boycotting Dairy Queen.

A free burger from Red Robin and a free breakfast from IHOP.

Starbucks even sent me a free drink for my birthday!

What's up DQ?

VOTE for ME

I am entering a contest to win a month of backpacking in the wilderness with National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) taking their Wind River Wilderness course. A month. In the wilderness. Where food is apparently dropped off every seven days by helicopter, if we are lucky enough to not be snowed in. One backpack, everything in it. Showers once a week, at pit stops. Sleeping in a little sleep tent on the ground. But still I am very excited and SO want to do this.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOO .....

Wordless Wednesday

hey there, hi there, hello there

I have spent the past days trying to stay off my computer and inevitably off my cell phone. Anything that requires smaller lettering to read. I haven't picked up a book in a week. GASP!!

On the up side, my eyes are finally feeling better. My headaches have faded and my eyes are focusing better. So forgive me, fellow bloggers, I will be taking a little bit more time to rest my eyes. As it is, it has been less than two weeks since my ICL eye surgery. Which, as I have to remind myself is major surgery and need to give myself adequate rest time.

In the mean time, miss you and I will be back soon. Promise.

I interrupt this post to . . .

I am tired and decided to just take break from posting. My eyes are tired and I have to resort to resting them. So I will continue the posting about my Becoming an Outdoor Woman later.

BUT, I am on to a new dream. A new crazy.

I have found a CONTEST to win an entire month out in the wilderness back country!!

I am working on ideas for a video entry. I'll keep you posted.
