Who says Facebook doesn't pay??

I entered a contest on Facebook yesterday. It is a company that is ran by a guy Jon and I went to highschool with's little sister. The game was to go to their website, pick 3 item numbers and post to their FB page. I played and WON!! I never win anything. What is so funny is that I saw my winning coffee machine at Bed Bath and Beyond last week when I ran there to return a Christmas present that didn't work properly. They were doing a demonstration and gave me a coffee to try. It was delish. Those that know me, know I LOVE my coffee. I savor it, enjoy it, appreciate it. As I am talking to her about the machine, which was I think $180 at BB&B, I was disappointed I wouldn't be able to justify buying one. The coffee is higher than my Dunkin' Donuts I currently drink. So the cost of the machine, plus the cost of the coffee made it a no go. Well then I see that coffee.org is doing a giveaway for one, I was ALL over that. I did almost forget about it though. Luckily I got my guess in, in time. And low and behold, I keep checking back seeing if anyone guessed the right answer (if no one guessed correctly there would be another chance to guess), and there is my name! Wahoo! Plus when they contacted me for my address they told me to pick out 2 boxes of coffees (a 24.00 value) to send with my machine to get me started. SO EXCITED!!!!! We all know I love free stuff, and free stuff I was really, really, really wanting and will completely, totally appreciate is so FANTASTIC!! I will take pictures of my new machine soon, they are shipping it out to me on Monday. Merry Christmas, merry Christmas, merry Christmas to me!
