I’m A Winner, I Can Feel It
I’m not a particular fan of the Old Navy logo, but I do have some of their hoodies in my closet. One of the people that I follow on Twitter, @CorrinRenee, recently had a contest on her blog to hawk colorful Old Navy ruffle tops. I left a snarky reply, completely not expecting anything to come of it. See me be snarky:
I’ve been known to sport an Old Navy hoodie. But I won’t wear the ruffles. I will give them to homeless children who will wear them for me. And dance for my amusement. Dance, little ruffle-wearing homeless children, dance!
As it turned out, the homeless children were my own! Corrin chose the winners of the giveaway by random number (my comment was number 31), so we won a coupon for $45 off of a $100 purchase. The downside was that it expired in two days. That wasn’t a problem though…
I got the notice on Sunday morning and, by Sunday afternoon, Chrissy had racked up a $200 charge at Old Navy. She bought a lot of clothes for the boys, some that won’t even fit until next year. The checkout girl said that this coupon was very rare and wondered where we got it. So thanks, Corrin, for helping us dress our homelessful children!
Woot – excellent shopping, Chrissy!
And your entry made me giggle – I’m sure Old Navy appreciated it, too.
