Cover your ears, because I am about to scream…………..
                                          aAaAaAaAaAaAaAaA!!!!!!!!!

First let me tell you why I needed something to smile about….
For those of you who frequent or don’t frequent my blog, this and last week have been a downward roller coaster of my Grandfather’s health, along with my sanity 😉  Of course it has been hard on the entire Family, all 14 of his kids, but since I have been the only one that has been by his bedside since last Monday night, I get bragging rights for loosing my mind this week, lol.  You guessed it, I have not left at all, OK, I did leave once for 1 1/2 hours while I went Downtown to The USO and took a quick shower.  My other shower was 2 days ago, I got permission to leave for 1 hour.  It was the first time I had seen my kids since last week. 
Do I hate living on the couch? YES! 
Am I exhausted from ONLY sleeping 3-4 hours out of every 24 hour period? YES!
Have I recovered from the first 45 hours of Trauma with absolutely no sleep or food for myself? NO!
Would I rather go home and leave my Grandfather alone in a cold lonely hospital? NO!!!!!!!
Not even a second thought about that last answer.  This is the Man that has helped raise me since my Father died when I was 4 yrs old. 
So needless to say, I was just waiting for ANY good news and boy did I get them!!!

The first form of good news was in an e-mail. 
The best e-mail I had gotten in a long time.  What it said as a whole is still a blur to me, (I credit the lifestyle I have led this last week, (giggles) ),  with a blurry mind, I remember reading:

WHAT?!??!?
I was so happy and surprised, that I screamed with joy; and yes, I did wake up my grandpa because I read the e-mail while sitting on my couch, next to his bed 😉

What do you mean finalist for what?
Oh, I guess in my excitement I forgot to announce what I am a Finalist for right? 
Only for the most awesome contest ever!!!…

I entered The Sony Style X10 Blogger Contest. 
The entrants had to submit a 200 word post why they thought they would be a great blogger for Sony and Sony Ericsson.

I had even gotten the contest out of my mind, never kept a bookmark in my brain for the day the finalists were going to be announced. 
WHOAH!!! was I surprised 😉

Two days after sending in the required documents, I received the FIRST prize at my door.  Logically I wasn’t home to see it, but my husband got the package and called me.  I gave him permission to open it and then I heard:

The pictures do it no justice, let me tell you.  It’s not just the looks either, the features of this phone make me giggle like a little girl 😉

I told my Grandpa about the contest, the prizes and the Grand Prize, he smiled 😉  That was such a huge reaction for him. 
I will definitely be blogging more about the details and other prizes, stay tuned, and if you think I deserve to be here, show me some love and help spread the word for me 😉
