*CLOSED*Land O' Lakes Coupon Giveaway (5 winners)


I, for one, am not a major cofee drinker. I've always been a "morning" person, ever since my parents can remember. When I was about five years old, I would wake up at 6:00 a.m. and try to fix my own breakfast so that I wouldn't wake up my parents in the mornings. I say "try" because while attempting to fix my cereal, I would spill the cereal & the milk everywhere. Eventually, my parents started sitting out a small cup of milk and have a bowl already filled with cereal for me. Thanks Mommy & Daddy!
Needless to say, some mornings, I sure do enjoy a nice hot cup of coffee. Now, when I do decide to drink coffee, I don't like it "black". In my opinion, I can only think of one word that sums up black coffee - "yuck." But I suppose that depends on the person. In my coffee, I add enough creamer that it turns it a soft tan color.
When I was younger and was exploring coffee with my mom, I always used milk. Not creamer, just milk. But then, as I became a little more comfortable with trying new things, I tried Land O' Lakes Half & Half. Yumm! Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with using milk because I still use plain milk as a creamer from time to time. All I'm saying is that I prefer using Land O' Lakes.
Land O' Lakes is a pretty well-known company. They sell multiple products: butter, half and half, milk and many other things.
If you've never tried Land O' Lakes prodcuts, well, now's the chance!
I have a total of fifteen coupons. Each coupon is for 75¢ OFF of one quart or half gallon Half & Half, any variety. These coupons do not expire until 2/28/2010!!
This means that you can choose any of THESE and get 75¢ OFF of that purchase.

5 lucky readers of Something To Talk About will each win 3 of these coupons.
TO ENTER:

I found the Blogger Demon!

Wow! I really love entering giveaways! Even if I don't win, it's fun to enter. Yea, I'm wierd.. I actually like filling out the forms (sometimes).
This morning, I found a fantastic site that had almost 30 current giveaways!! And of course, I wanted to enter them!
I fill out the form with the required entry. Click Submit. No problem.
Fill out the form with the first second entry. Click Submit. BAMMM!
You are posting comments too quickly. Slow down.
Uhg. Okay. No biggie, I'll just type a bit slower.
So I fill out the next extra entry:
You are posting comments too quickly. Slow down.
And there that little booger is again!
Alright! Fine! I will type with my darn index fingers only, if it makes you happier.
I fill out the next extra entry (I love extra entries!!) and
You are posting comments too quickly. Slow down.
Okay. Something has to be wrong here. By this point, I'm typing about 5 words in thirty seconds, which really is a longgg time in the typing world.
I'm tellin ya, this Demon hates me! Soo, what do I do? Give up the many, many giveaways that are still left to enter on this site or continue to type like a snail when I should be doing some homework? Ahh. Giveaways, how I love thee.
Of course I continued to enter the giveaways. It has taken me almost one entire hour to enter the giveaways! But, I like giveaways, they're fun to do and even better to win!
And as added by Mami2jcn, the Captcha codes are pretty evil, as well.
So, to the point. Have any of you found this Blogger Demon? Does it love aggrivate you as much as it does me? Are there any other Blogger Demons that I should know about?

Saturday 9: Don't Talk to Strangers

Welcome to Saturday: 9 . What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!

1. Tell us about a night that you spent with someone who was a stranger, yet by the end of the night you were very close.
In total honesty, I have yet to spend the night with a total stranger.

2. When is the last time you rode the bus?
Whenever I was in high school, I suppose. But then again, that was only 7 months ago.

3. Describe the last time you stood up for a cause.
I don't know if this counts - but I stood up for my cousin the other day because people were treating him wrongfully.
4. What is something you would like to do, but you're afraid of the risk(s)?
Oh gosh. Everything! I'm such a chicken. But I would love to go sky-diving or bungee jumping. Sounds fantastic, but I know that someone would have to push me, because I surely wouldn't jump.

5. What would you most like to accomplish before the year is over?
Well, I would like to pass my other two classes. I have taken two finals so far, and passed both of them. So, I would like to pass my other two finals and therefore be ready for my next semester of college! :)

6. Name something you'll miss about 2009.
Hmm. High School. Part of the 2009 year, I was in high school. I already miss it, in ways. I miss being there and seeing everyone.

7. If you could invent something, what would it be?
I use to always want to invent a backpack that could make personal pizzas and drinks. :) Don't take my idea.. I still plan on doing this one day. hehe

8. What first got you started blogging?
The Mommy-FIles! I was searching giveaways on Google and the links always led to her site. After I realized that there were so many giveaways involved in blogging, I couldn't pass it up.

9. How did you find this meme?
I found it through Annies Home on THIS POST and decided it would be something fun to try and keep up with! This is my second week doing the Saturday 9 and so far, I really enjoy it.

Crazy Cooking Experience And Tip

It's my dad's birthday today! Happy Birthday, Daddy!
Well, I decided that I'd make him his FAVORITE desert ever! (It's a fruit desert that his aunt use to make for him whenever he was younger) -- It includes a few different fruits, jello, and sour cream ;; nothing too hard - or so I thought.
I've made it twice before: once around last Christmas & once for Father's Day. This time, it was different...Somehow, I managed to make it terrible! I mean, close to unedible! Grosss! (I'm thinking that the sour cream was bad.) Yet, my dad still ate a few bites -- he's a great Daddy!
I suppose that tonight would have been a good night to have used Dinner in a Box by Destination Dinners! Destination Dinners are Recipe Kits that combine food, travel and beautiful design into an incredibly memorable gift. Maybe if I had one of these, I could have gotten everything right for desert! On the bright side, I was able to save the night by making Apple Dumplings and putting Vanilla ice cream on top of them! YUMM!
Either way, the Destination Dinners would have made things better!

Speaking of Destination Dinners, MomStart is having a giveaway for one! So, if you'd like to try one for yourself, head on over to MomStart & enter to win! CLICK HERE to enter! (12/28)

I did not receive any form of payment, recomendation or product for this post. All facts of this product have come from Destination Dinner's website. This post is for the enjoyment of my readers.
