So, the Boss has decided that my recent success in winning contests (two in one year) means that I should enter more of them.  I went to Lavender Fields and entered their bedroom make-over contest.  It’s a small contest, really, not one that you’d be interested in.  I mean, you really don’t want to win a $3000.00 bedroom make-over, complete with a Pine Cone Hill bed set, decorative pillows, lighting, a Dash and Albert rug, wall art and accessories, or the paint selection assistance and general room layout assistance from Lavender Fields designers. First, you’d have to be willing to post two pictures of your bedroom on-line (here) and admit publicly that your bedroom is actually in the condition that it appears in the pictures.  Secondly, you’d have to fess up to your real name and the location of your home.  Most of us use pseudonyms here, so that’s another discouragement.  Then you’d have to go through the tedious prospect of culling through family and friends for votes.  Who wants that hassle? Besides, the designers who help you design your new room will not help you actually remodel your room.  If you win, you’ll have to do all that work yourself!

Rather than bothering with all of that, the easiest thing for you to do is to click this LINK, scroll down to the picture of my bedroom (Richard B., Lansing, Kansas), read a mildly entertaining paragraph about why you should vote for me NOW!, and click on “Vote for Richard B.”  Cast your votes for me NOW!   Remembering that since it is always better to give than to receive, you should give me your vote NOW!, since I gave you the information about how to give me your vote NOW!  Your kindness will be repaid with eternal gratitude and warm thoughts when I lay my head down on new pillows and peacefully drift off to sleep.

Next to the Boss.  

Who will undoubtedly poke me in the ribs and tell me to roll over because I’m snoring.  

Thanks for help!  

P.S.  Please consider voting for me, NOW!
