Who Nees a Mountain Home?


HGTV pulled a fast one on me and announced three finalists for the mountain home. I thought we had to wait until April 29th but apparently they wanted to squash my hopes early. Here are the fools who beat me out:

Deanna Baines of Fairport NY: Sure she seems sweet but don’t let her D-family (kids Denise, Danielle and David) fool you. She doesn’t care about my mountain home. In fact, when she heard the news she had to log on to take the virtual tour—a tour I’ve taken at least fifty times!

Donald P. Cook of Alum Creek, WV: At least he’s somewhat close to my mountain home, geographically speaking. But what do we really know about Don? "He spends a lot of time on that computer," says his wife Myrna. Ah-ha! Internet porn. I can’t believe they’re letting that pervert live in my mountain home.

Julie Free of Blackwell, OK: Here’s why I think we should pull for Jules:
--She’s the youngest so she could use my mountain home longer.
--She lives in Oklahoma which is our neighbor state.
--She’s stoked about the craft room and I didn’t even know what it was.
--She deserves it: She entered every day just like me but unlike me she prayed about it. I guess I was wrong in thinking God had better things to do than to help someone win my mountain home.

But most of all, I feel like I’ve got the best shot at becoming friends with her. She’s 29 and she’s a dietician consultant. I always need to talk to people like her for my articles. So I’ll call her up, ask for an interview and suggest we meet at my (I mean, “her”) mountain home to discuss it! This will be perfect; then I’ll have a bff with a mountain home. It’s like boats: you don’t really want your own; you just want a friend with one.

So go, Julie! And folks, it’s not too late to get those prayers in. Apparently the rest of us still have a shot at winning some cash. And if I win that, I may just build my own craft room.

I saw that. I think the man is in a wheelchair.
How do they decide who gets the house in the end? What is the runner-up prize?
Will you still blog when you are in Austin?
Yes, I am "Question Lady" today.

Yikes. I should have watched the videos but it wasn't working on my computer! Should I feel bad for calling him a perv? Nah. I bet he still looks at the internet porn.

-Runners Up: Each gets $100K. Plus twenty other people get cash prizes ranging from $10K-$100K

--Austin blogging: I plan on it!

Any more questions?

The runner up prizes are not bad. I think I might rather have $100,000 than have to deal with unloading a house.

Yeah, we get to blog from an Austin perspective.

Yes, I could buy a lot of Kashi with $100K.
