First: I apologize for not posting on Monday and Tuesday. I plan to be on schedule, posting daily from here on out unless another emergency pops up.
I blame the gnomes. I think they are letting in some nonsense.
I am sorry. I imagine dangling them by their wee little toes over Ollie might be a fair punishment.
Now, I could use some fun. How ’bout you?:
If there ever was a game to describe America, it wouldn’t be football. It wouldn’t be Scrabble. It wouldn’t be Blackjack.
No.
It would be “would you rather?”.
THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU TO ALL WHO ENTERED. YOU TRULY MADE MY DAY!
The winner is Sally Steele Corbett! Congratulations! Please contact me so I can mail you your prize! : )
My family and I play this game far too often. And even though I have many other posts that could go up today, I thought it would be more fun to play a game. I could really, really use a laugh and a smile. Winner gets their very own Predict-A-Pen and a $10 gift card to Target. ‘Cause I love me some silly fun.
You only need to answer three out of the eight questions to enter for a chance to win!
Ready?
Get set.
Go!:
Would you rather sleep in the rain with no covers while Pee Wee Herman sang to you all night long or take a drink from a rain puddle on a New York City street after the rain has fallen?
Would you rather have the super power of flying or invisibility?
Would you rather live one hundred years of a boring life or forty years of a fun one?
Would you rather chew a piece of used gum you found on the ground from Ryan Gosling’s mouth or drink a glass of two week old milk in Ryan Gosling’s bed?
Would you rather be in the real life scenario of the movie “Jaws” (on the water) or be in the movie “Jurassic Park” (on the island)?
Would you rather live in a world with magic, dragons and fairies or own Apple?
Would you rather win one million dollars or have one completely perfect day once a year for the rest of your life (and, no, you cannot win one million dollars on your perfect day)?
Would you rather be a prince/princess or a merman/mermaid?
I’ll update with my own answers after the giveaway ends in my comments here. I’ll respond as Gnome Lover. I can’t wait to see your replies! Please feel free to elaborate why you chose your answer. That’s what makes it fun. I will be picking one winner at random. This contest is open for today only (5/21/2014) from 12:00 a.m. PST to 11:59 p.m. PST for you sweet folks who happened to click over to visit on this very random Wednesday. I will announce the winner tomorrow around noon PST on this post.
Good luck! Have fun!
*Negative comments will be deleted at the discretion of the owner of this blog and the entry will be forfeit.
Funny! Ok, here it goes:
1) I’d rather drink rain water from a puddle in NYC. I hate being cold, and although I love PWH, he’d just try to annoy me all night…it sounds like hell.
2) Superpower of flight, hands down.
3) 40 years of a fun one!!
4) Eeew, but I guess the gum from his mouth. Even the possibility of old or close to old milk freaks me out!
5) Jurassic Park. Didn’t you see Jaws!!
6) This is tough. I’d rather own Apple. But on the days that I’m stressed as the owner of Apple, I will regret my decision, so I’ll have to take my millions and hire magicians and magical creatures to bring me back to self.
7) One million dollars plea$e. I’ve got the other part taken care of. 😉
8) Of course, I’d rather be a mermaid princess, like Ariel. I think I’d be a benevolent ruler.
Thanks Jenni, that Was fun. I’m going to play “Would You Rather” with Lucas. I’m sure he’ll stump me.
I’m going to answer all of them because this is fun!
Drink from a NYC puddle.
Flying!
40 years of fun 🙂
Gum. But both are disgusting.
Jurassic Park … dinos!
Own Apple.
Win a million dollars.
Be a princess. I prefer land over water.
Would you rather live in a world with magic, dragons and fairies or own Apple? own apple
Would you rather win one million dollars or have one completely perfect day once a year for the rest of your life (and, no, you cannot win one million dollars on your perfect day)? I could have lots of perfect days with a million dollars
Would you rather be a prince/princess or a merman/mermaid? Well a princess is the obvious choice
I love the “Would You Rather” game. I remember a Would You Rather book with really hilarious but really difficult questions, such as “Would you rather fight Mike Tyson or talk like him?” and “Would you rather watch a porno with your parents or starring your parents?” (For the record, fight Mike Tyson, and with my parents.)
To your questions:
1) Rain puddle (I can’t stand Pee Wee Herman).
2) Invisibility (I don’t like heights and being invisible means I can spy on people).
3) Forty years of fun.
4) Ryan Gosling doesn’t do it for me, so neither. 😉
5) Jurassic Park.
6) Apple (they’ve sucked me in).
7) $1 million (because I could have many very comfortable days, if not perfect ones).
8) Princess (as long as I could have Kate Middleton’s hair).
😉
What a fun idea! I hope all is well and that everything worked out for you!
Ok. Here they are:
1. Rain puddle….building immunities.:)
2. Flying!
3.100 years. I don’t think life can ever be boring!!
4.neither. I like Ryan Gosling…but not that much 🙂
5. Jurassic Park
6. The Magical world…Apple can’t beat that! 🙂
7. 1 million bucks… you can make many great days with that! Besides, what day is every, really, truly perfect? The imperfections make it great!
8. Mermaid!
Hi Jenny, I love the way you dress, love reading your recipes, and of course the gnomes.
1. Rain puddle, that guy has always creeped me out.
2.flying, my family lives in another country, so that would be helpful.
3. It will be an adventure itself to live for a 100 years.
4. Gum.
5. Jurassic Park, with Dr. Grant?
6. Own apple, then I might be able to create a magical world.
7. The million dollars
8. Princess
These are some good questions!
1. Sleeping in the rain. Drinking those puddle germs sounds yucky & I love Pee Wee!
2. Invisibility, for sure! Think of all the secrets you could uncover.
3. 40 years of fun! 100 years is just such a long time to live.
4. Neither. Thinking about either of these makes me nauseous!
5. jurassic Park. I’ve never seen Jaws but somehow the dinosaurs are less terrifying.
6. Magic world, all the way! The money from owning Apple would rock but um, hello…magic?!
7. Perfect day. For someone who stresses/overanalyzes everything it would be such a relaxing day.
8. Mermaid. Ariel is & always will be my favorite Disney princess!
Hi Sally! You won! Congratulations! Could you please send me your address so that I can mail your prizes tomorrow? Thanks for entering! And playing! I really appreciate it!

Love this!
Would you rather live one hundred years of a boring life or forty years of a fun one? I would much rather have forty years of a fun one. Never underestimate the quality of life. If life were boring, those extra 60 years would be torture.
Would you rather be in the real life scenario of the movie “Jaws” (on the water) or be in the movie “Jurassic Park” (on the island)? Jurassic Park, for sure. There are weapons and places to hide. The open water and rickety boats don’t present a lot of survival opportunities.
Would you rather live in a world with magic, dragons and fairies or own Apple? Oh, I’d much rather have the magic.
Would you rather win one million dollars or have one completely perfect day once a year for the rest of your life (and, no, you cannot win one million dollars on your perfect day)? The million dollars. I’m lucky enough that I think I already get at least one completely perfect day a year.
Sleep in the rain… Pee Wee Herman would be a good distraction. I cringe at the thought of germs so drinking out of a puddle would be a no go!
Flying. It would make climbing so much easier.
100 years of a boring life. To me, boring means not a lot of ups but not a lot of downs either… sometimes the middle way is best.
Pass on the next question… both options are too gross!
Jurassic Park.
I’d like to own Apple… then I could do what Bill and Melinda Gates have done.
I’d rather win a million dollars… most of my days are pretty close to perfect already anyway.
Mermaid. I love scuba diving and adore the ocean.
What fun, Jenni! We also play this game a lot around our house.
Drinking from the NYC rain puddle…it would be over much quicker and it has to build your immunity, right? PWH is creepy and all night is way too long to be hanging out with him!
Flying powers…goodbye gridlock!
Own Apple…no one said the dragons would be friendly, after all…
Could I be a mermaid princess? Why not have it all? 🙂
I would rather be an Apple owning flying princess who lives to be 100 years old!
So glad you are back!!!
xoxo
I would want to own Apple, because then I could invent magic, fairies, etc. I could basically do and have whatever I want! Queen Lisa!
I would rather…
Drink from a puddle. At least it would be over quickly.
Be able to fly. Because if you turn invisible your retinas would turn invisible, and then you would be blind!
Forty years of fun! Fo sho!
I’d drink the milk. At least nobody else has had it in their mouth! (sorry, Ryan.)
Jaws scarred me for life, but then Jurassic park freaked me out too… still, it’d have to be Jurassic park, as long as I could have Jeff Goldblum to use as a decoy…
Own Apple. And then force them to run Windows! MUAHAHAHA!!
I’d rather win the one million dollars – tax free! – because it would come in handy with our flat-buying that we’re currently in the middle of!
A princess. I like legs, not fins!
I hope that cheers you up – and damn, you are handing out a predict-a-pen to the winner! That is the most awesome prize ever! Big hugs!!
drink from a puddle, invisibility, live 100 boring years (you’d get to see a lot!), gum, Jaws, own Apple, one perfect day (where I acquire Apple and don’t need the million), and be a mermaid…haha love this post! sooooo fun!
1. Sleep in the rain with singing – I shudder to think of the germs in a puddle
2. Flying (I used to always have dreams about flying)
3. 40 years of fun (I don’t prefer to live to be 100, especially if it’s all boring years)
4. These are both too gross for words, pass
5. Jurassic park
6. Live in world with magic … It would be like harry potter books coming to life, yes!
7. One million dollars
8. Mermaid , I feel more at home in the ocean than land as it is!
Princess of course. I have always wanted to fly. 40 fun years would be okay by me.
P.S. I missed you. I hope you and your family are okay.
Maybe I’m a weirdo, but sleeping in the rain with no covers while Pee Wee Herman sings to me all night long actually sounds kind of fun.
…And being on the Jurasic Park island sounds fun, too! Dangerous, true, but I’m super obsessed with dinosaurs so I’d almost not even care if they ate me!
… And I’d for sure rather live just 40 years if they were fun ones.
Sorry to hear about your emergency, and I hope you get lots of laughs and smiles 🙂
1) Take a drink from a rain puddle on a New York City street after the rain has fallen – much quicker punishment that the first.
2) FLYING!
3) Forty fun years!
4) Chew a piece of used gum you found on the ground from Ryan Gosling’s mouth – I have a huge problem with milk that smells bad. I would never get that milk down.
5) Real life scenario of the movie “Jurassic Park” – I’m terrified of deep water.
6) Live in a world with magic, dragons and fairies! – This one is easy! 🙂
7) Win one million dollars – With no taxes afterward, right? Then I could invest it well.
8) Princess – Again, the deep water thing. Plus, gills? Scales? Ick.
Take a drink. No question. One day I might tell you the story of how Pee Wee Herman ruined my singing career. Sob.
Invisibility. I’m a sneaky curious sort of girl. (See Ryan Gosling question above)
Forty years of a fun life. Because life isn’t anything without fun.
I had to laugh at this one. Okay, I should have rephrased the question with Ryan Gosling from “Crazy, Stupid, Love.” Ryan Gosling who can do the Dirty Dancing move. The. Dirty. Dancing. Move. And with that in mind. My answer is: Um, milk. In bed. ‘Cause, um…
I agree with “Jurassic Park.” Way more places to hide.
Magic. And Fairies. And Dragons. Oh my!
Million dollars. Which would buy my dream house. Which would make me enough happy that day for a long time.
Princess. I don’t even put my face in the water when I swim. Going underwater scares me. Living under it would be a nightmare.
Jenni
Thanks for playing everyone! I loved reading all of the replies! So fun! : ). You made my day. I am still smiling today.
I need to know the Pee Wee Herman story! I hope you’re not too traumatized about it and can post about it soon!
Ha! It isn’t that interesting. Just a phase. : ). I have the story written, but I have not been able to find a picture for it that I would not get sued for or that wouldn’t cost a ton to use. I need to figure out a creative way to run it without actually using his picture. : )
Hope your weekend is beautiful!
Jenni
