So, Matthew at Childsplay x 2 recently shaved his goatee when twitter helped raise $300 for the YMCA.



Immediately, the question put forth by his twitter “friends” became – how much for the eyebrows, Matthew?

Unfortunately he seems fairly attached to that particular section of his face, so I suggested he get his eyebrows professionally waxed if we raise an additional $150 for the YMCA.

And he went for it.  Heh heh. 

I started the donations off with $25, and Melissa matched it.  We need to raise another $100 before he’ll get his eyebrows waxed – so will you please donate to the YMCA? 

For a good laugh, if not for the kids?

Also, the fine print I didn’t mention beforehand?  We’re going to need some video of this wax action.

I can’t wait to see if his vlog ends up anything like this Friends clip of Joey getting his brows waxed.

Congratulations to Debbie in Memphis, who correctly guessed which two items I did not find under my bed!

What I did find:



1.  Dirty T-Shirt

2.  Almost empty container of Planter’s Dry Roasted Peanuts

4.  Used Flosser

5.  Popsicle Stick

6.  Crusty Paper Plate

7.  Paper Towel with a Big Spot on it

9.  Granola Bar Wrapper

10.  Jar of Peanut Butter

11.  2 Dirty Socks – That Don’t Match

Debbie correctly guessed that neither #2 – a half eaten cookie or #8 – a bowl with gooey ice cream at the bottom, were found under my bed.  She wins the $25 gift card to In-n-Out Burger, or something equally delicious if she’d prefer, since Memphis doesn’t seem to have an In-n-Out Burger.  

In which case, stay tuned: the gift card may resurface the next time I clean the space under my bed. 

Unless I get a hankering for a burger between now and then. 

I cleaned under my bed today, and while it hasn’t really been all that long – maybe 4 days? – I found a pile of garbage.  On my husband’s side, of course.

Your task: read the following list and pick which TWO items I DIDN’T find under my bed, and I’ll send you a $25 gift card to In-N-Out Burger!

Unless, of course, you’re Meghan, or you just don’t have one near you, in which case I’ll send you a gift card for something else that happens to be delicious, based on your preference.  And on what gift cards I happen to have in my junk drawer at the time.

You have until…. hmmm…  Tuesday 1/19/10 at 5:00 pm Pacific to enter your guess (2 guesses, maximum, unless nobody actually enters and then my five readers can guess as much as they want), at which time I’ll post a photo of what I actually found.

Good Luck!  And tell your friends!
