I Wish I Had Ninety-Six Car Seats

I never would have imagined receiving ninety-six entries for this item, particularly since it was buried somewhere after the eight hundred mark in the Bloggy Giveaway list.

I am truly grateful to each of you for the time spent in sharing your ideas and very well-thought out comments for improving this blog. They've been compiled into a list, and I can't wait to begin applying them. Many of you have excellent blogs of your own. I enjoyed visiting and becoming acquainted.

I wish I had ninety-six car seats. But, there is only one. Grandmas, aunts, moms and moms-to-be ... how in the world to select one winner from so many who need a car seat for a little person. And, did I mention that I have a Ph.D. in guilt? So, if I were to select one entry based on the substance of the comment, I'd feel guilty ninety-five times (yes, count them -- ninety five) for the entrants who weren't selected.

Finally, after agonizing over this conflict for a while, I decided to leave the decision to science and algorithms, even though the process will do little to soothe the desire to have ninety-six of these things to give away. So, after removing two comments from the list (i.e., one belonging to my daugther-in-law, Erin, and my response to her), I went to Research Randomizer to select a winner from ninety-six entries.

Now, without further fanfare, the winner of the car seat is comment number twenty-eight (28), "team chilton."

Congrats, I'll be sending you an email so that we can coordinate contact information!

I can't wait until the next giveaway . . .
