Today is a cause for celebration. Why? Because today’s post happens to be my 99th one 😀

Err. Okay?

I know that 99 isn’t all that common of a number to celebrate, but seeing as my 100th post will fall on WIAW, I figure why not celebrate a day early and spread all the excitement over a couple of days instead of squishing it all into one. So, in light of today’s monumental event, I did a little bit of shopping…

Something for me (as a reward for all my hard work):

[A handled bowl. A baggie of my favorite coffee beans. Gossip Girl season 4]

And something for you (as a reward for… well… just being you):

No, it’s not a reusable grocery bag from my favorite store. It’s a reusable grocery bag full of goodies from my favorite store.

In the three months that I’ve had Running with Spoons, I’ve completely fallen in love with blogging. Not only has it provided me with an opportunity to share my love of writing, photography, food, and fitness with others, but it’s introduced me to some of the kindest and most supportive people that I know. People that I’m so thankful to have in my life. People like you.

Each and every comment, e-mail, or Tweet that you send my way warms my heart like you wouldn’t believe, and I wanted to show you how grateful I am for your readership by giving you an opportunity to win a goodies package containing a few of my favorite things.

Okay, okay! Enough with the sappy talk, woman! Show us the loot already!

One lucky winner will receive:

1 box of Cinnamon Puffins

2 baggies of Camino instant hot chocolate mix (dark & milk)
2 Dagoba dark chocolate bars (lemon ginger & new moon)

2 baggies of Vega Shake&Go smoothie mix (chocolate and vanilla almond)
1 Kashi bar (raspberry chocolate) – 1 Luna bar (s’mores) – 1 Clif bar (chocolate almond fudge)

Plus any other random tidbit(s) that I happen to come across in the next week.

. – . – . – .

There are 4 ways you can enter (leave a separate comment for each):

1. Tell me something that you’re grateful for (mandatory)

2. Subscribe to Running with Spoons via e-mail or Google Reader and let me know.

3. Follow me on Twitter (@RunWithSpoons) and leave a comment with your Twitter ID.

4. Tweet the following: @RunWithSpoons is giving away some of her favorite things! Check it out at http://wp.me/p1x2yj-1gr

You have until August 31st to enter, and I’ll be announcing the winner on September 1st.

Good luck, and thank you again for being you 😀

    I’ve just subscribed via email (I’m used to following blogs with Google Friend Connect so I always forget that you can be updated by email instead of just adding blogs to my bookmarks and checking them several times a day!). Thank you!

    I’m grateful that I didn’t destroy my precious and beloved Magic Bullet this morning when I made an Overnight Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie (with coconut milk ice cubes)! It was smoking and everything 8-0 but I tested it an hour later and it was fine, I nearly cried with relief 😀

    I’m also grateful for your protein smoothies and muffin and bread recipes: the blissful banana bread is simply the best banana bread I’ve ever tasted, and has the bonus of being a super-simple and easy recipe – I cannot thank you enough!

    I am grateful for my health, for the fact that my reproductive system is back in working order after many years of anorexia (because my main dream in life is to have children of my own) I’m grateful for my amazing fiancee, my wonderful family and my fantastic friends, without whom, my life would be not the amazing journey I’m following.

    Im grateful for the people in my life. the friends who have stuck by me regardless of the times my ED has pushed them away… im grateful for my mum, for believing in me and always wanting the best for me, always putting my needs before her own and generally being my rock. and lastly, im grateful to be alive. despite all my health complications and subsequent ED struggles, i am still battling against it… i will always have issues with my health, but im a fighter and i wont give up… so in a way, im also grateful for my stubbornness!!!
    this is a killer giveaway and i would LOVE to get the chance to try some of those goodies 🙂

    Yay, that is indeed a cause for celebration! I’m so glad you started blogging again, this has quickly become one of my favourite blogs. 🙂

    I’m grateful for having the opportunity to learn from my mistakes. Of course at first I keep thinking it sucks and wonder why this is happening to me, but if you look at the positive side, every mistake is an opportunity to improve.
