Once upon a time I had a job. I guess I still technically have a job, but it’s different now. My current job doesn’t feel like a job, so it's hard to think of it as such. My old job felt just like what it was…a job.
While it wasn’t a bad job, I routinely had what some might refer to as a “case of the Mondays.” (Side Note: I would like to thank the movie “Office Space” for giving all of the 8-5vers out there a title for their Monday doldrums.)
Urban Dictionary describes a “case of the Mondays” as:
“Symptoms of a useless or horrible Monday morning after returning from the weekend...” |
Now, the severity of a “case of the Mondays” can vary greatly. There are some Mondays where having a cup of coffee (or three) is just enough to carry you through to Tuesday, and then there are others where drinking the whole dang pot doesn’t even come close to fixing the problem.
While I can’t give you Mondays off, I can try to do my part in helping the “unfixable” Mondays become a little more enjoyable by introducing E.Leigh’s Giveaway Mondays.
Every Monday I will give away some little piece of happy. The key word being “little.” Just to be clear about the types of things I will be donating to some fabulous reader, here are a few items I will NOT be giving away…
This Phillim Lim bag that I am totally lusting after...
Or this Chanel ring, which would be a timeless addition to any jewelry box...
And while I’m at it, I won’t be giving away these Christian Louboutin pumps either. I wish I could. Good navy shoes are so hard to find.
Sorry if I got your hopes up, folks. The good news is that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. While I won’t be giving away any of the aforementioned designer goods, I WILL be giving away some fun fashion finds that might bring a little sparkle to your day. I mean...come on...it's free. Who doesn't love free stuff?
I know, I know…enough with all the hoopla. Here is the booty up for grabs today!
Drum roll please….
TA DA!!! One lucky gal will scoop up these fabulous peach studs from E.Leigh's AND her choice of either a subscription to People's Style Watch or Lucky Magazine.
Now, all you have to do to have a chance to win this loot is to "follow" our blog AND leave a comment that states the following...
1. The best thing about your Monday thus far.
2. Which magazine you would choose should you be the grand prize winner. (I really enjoy using the term "grand prize winner.")
A little positivity goes a long way, don't you think?
Everyone has until midnight tonight to post a comment; after which I will gather all the names, put them in a fabulous hat, and pull out one lucky winner's name. I will announce the Grand Prize Winner in this week's "What were they thinking?" Wednesday post.

Wishing you light, love, a little luck, and lots of extra happy Mondays.
