Welcome to the Great American Bake Sale on Not me Monday!

So once again it is time for "Not Me Monday" 
Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

Today is a special Monday for a couple of reasons:A it is my confession Monday, better known as Not Me! Monday and it is the day of the VGABS Virtual Great America Bake sale for Share our Strenghth the great organization that works to feed hungry kids in American. No child should ever go hungry.
So without any more ado...
I did not enter Carey:Life in the carpool lane's giveaway this week. This is the first giveaway I have ever entered and I am excited to take the chance.Mainly because it is a $50.00 gift card from Target. Yep, That's right. If you have not read Carey's blog, Read it. Her boys are destined to be great politicians. She herself is a wonderful writer and mom.You just have to read how she came about deciding and getting the gift certificate. The end of the giveaway is the 17th which I already mentioned to her is my birthday, and it is my first giveaway, and I am not twisting her arm :) You are great Carey, just kidding. She leaves comments! wow!
Hint Hint..
I did not enter a new blogs giveaway learning together hand in hand's giveaway. It was the second one I entered in my life, I was on a roll this weekend. I have to confess this is a new one I found it through SITS, making my Saturday visit and there she had a great recipe, I am supposed to leave another recipe for her to swap which will be under this note which is why this is a long blog. When I go visiting on SITS day, I like to poke around and read the blogs which makes the 75 percent of the time I spend on the computer more like 90, which is ok:I don't have little kids just a grand kid, but this one is fun, I like th picture of the family they look user friendly and the blog is well laid out. Be sure to stop by Say hi, tell her angel sent you. Just kidding she'll say who is Angel???? but stop by anyway.
I did not snarl at my friend Barb Jacabucci when she snidely sent me an Email telling me she was watching the A's and the Mariners right that minute on TV in Seattle. Knowing I love my A's that wasn't fair! Sniff Sniff. Barb is due to get it from me. This week. Yep. Someday the A's will be playing the Braves and, no two different leagues, no matter watch out Barb, by the way ow badly did the A's beat the Mariners
I did not join in the fight for hunger by joining in with Kate over at Cooking during stolen moment. Now if you haven't seen her blog well, it is amazing. You get hungry looking at it for one thing, and for another she herself is just plain cute. She has three blogs, I follow all of them which just goes to show you why Tasha is always eating cold cereal and bologna.
