Good morning everyone! I'm sitting here listening to the falling rain contemplating what to make for breakfast/brunch. I know DH would love waffles but not sure I want to start the day with that many calories. Decisions, decisions......
I like the idea of sending the fat quarter at the first of the month to a PO Box. The up side is that everyone who signs up will actually send a fat quarter each month or they are not eligible to win themselves. I've always wondered how many FQ's the winner actually receives since by the end of the month there are very few people posting compared to the list of names of those who signed up.
A couple of down sides is that the person who wins will have sent a fat quarter also (not really a big deal since they get it back) and at the end of the month someone will have to pony up shipping costs for a large package of FQ to send them to the winner. Any thoughts on how to deal with the $$$ part of this? I see lots of comments about concerns about the cost of mailing just one fat quarter ($.64 currently) so asking everyone to send a few coins with their FQ to pay for end of month postage would probably become an issue for some.
My opinion regarding quarterly winners is that it probably wouldn't work. I agree that new sign ups always have the advantage because the first month or two of a diet are always higher numbers. An idea would be that a person is not eligible to win the FQ's until the second month of participation. Since a winner can't win two months in a row why not have the same type of requirement for the prize?
Whatever the majority decides is ok with me.
On the home front, I have a job interview on Tuesday! I graduated from my CNA course and will take my State test on Friday. Hopefully I'll have a job offer before I get my license. And the best part is the facility is only 3 miles from my house! I'm excited and ready to get back to work. I may be "old" but I still have a lot of offer those who need help.
Ya'll have a great day and a good upcoming week.
