Those of you too young to remember Sanford and Son will so totally not get that title.
Never mind.
All you need to know is that THIS is the BIG TARGET GIVEAWAY PALOOZA. WooHoo!
Hmmm. I think you need to work for this a little bit. So, tell me one thing that is your very VERY favorite...something. Anything. Be creative. Make me laugh.
Better yet, make Mr. Random laugh. HE has the final say.
Gift card amount: $75.00 How many? ? more than 1, less than 10.
Deadline is Wednesday night 6 PM CDT. Winners will be announced Thursday. Cards mailed to you on Friday.
YOU MUST LEAVE ME AN E-MAIL ADDRESS. Otherwise, Mr. Random just tosses you aside.

P.S. Thanks for being so generous in your birthday month!
My favorite is apple crostada with yummy vanilla bean ice cream on top that I did not have to cook or pay for in anyway. And there are no kiddos around begging for a bite or crumb nor a hubby screwing up his face at the fact that there are apples in it. Just me and the dessert and bliss, the sweet bliss of a woman and her sugar rush. Oh and if there is caramel involved in any way whatever, just send me on to heaven. Bless my heart!
Now if someone can just deliver that dream to me in real life on Thursday (which is my actual bbirthday) all will be right with the world for one day!
In the meantime you can reach me at mtaylor918@bellsouth.net
Other than the obvious-- dark chocolate, my kiddos, the hubby.
These are a few of my favorite things:
*photos uploaded by my 80's college buddies on facebook
*comments related to above said photos regarding one Greek girl's fabulous 4 years of the mullet
*looking at pre-mentioned photos and wonder what in the world we all were thinking with those 80's clothes, hairstyles and HUMUNGO turtle shell glasses
These things make me laugh like never before. Side splitting gufaw, yee-ha, coke coming out of your nose laughing. The best kind!

my husband loves sanford and son. it's one of his ring tones! i don't love it so much.
what's not my favorite (speaking of ring tones) is that he has brick house for my ring tone (when i call him). i want him to change to to sweet melissa (my real name).
ok my favorite something: reading in the bathtub. haven't dropped a book yet.
My very favorite thing is going shopping with NO CHILDREN and LOTS of the husbands money to spend! I took him shopping with me last week when we were out of town and he talked me out of a great looking purse because, "I can't believe you would spend that for a purse!" So add no husbands to that list also!

Well, if I'm being honest, I have four favorite things, and they are
Kate
William
Henry
Ella
Yah, yah, sappy, I know, but it's true. My sun rises and sets with them, and the hope that I can be a better mother for them each day.
Other faves...well of course the beachymimi blog, ;), the color orange, the smell of lavender, Hokie Football, Christmas.
Hope I win...I really hope I win.
Love Sanford and Son.
Even my kids use that famous line.
I love TV land and all the old reruns.
Favorite thing right now has to be the changing of the season. Fall is almost here. I shut off the A/C and decorated the house with fall flowers and pumpkins. Can't wait to pull out the sweaters and slippers. Watching the leaves turn.
Sitting next to a warm fire with my honey.
That's soemthing I missed living on the gulf coast for four years. Now when February rolls around I will hate it and want to move back. :-)

My favorite simple thing is when I am doing the dishes and tiny bubbles floating by in the air in front of me catch me by surprise.
My favorite treat is coffee ice cream, preferably Hagen Daz.
My favorite man, besides my husband, is Mr. Random! Mr. Random, you are soooo easy on the eyes.

Classy...I know.
faithful(dot)chick(at)yahoo(dot)com
My favorite saying: "It is what it is." Okay, I'm not necessarily sure that it's my favorite, but it's the one that I say the most often, so I'll go with that.
My favorite song: "Beethoven's Fifth" because the Husband programed his cell phone to play that whenever I call him. Okay, I'm not sure whether I should feel insulted by that, but I love the Husband's sense of humor, so I'll stick with this answer.
Real Things I Love: autumn nights, good coffee and Tongginator kisses.
Right now I am loving facebook, reconnecting with old friends and keeping up with the younger ones :)
I love my Mondays w/ my hubby. (It's his day off and the kiddos are all in school)
Diet Coke and swiss cheese are my favorite snack.
First... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Looks like you are enjoying it (well if you overlook that whole dentist thing ya got going).
Let's see... my favorite?
My Favorite season is Fall...
I love the colors... all those lovely greens turning to flaming yellows, oranges, and reds. I love the warmth and coolness of it all rolled into one day.
And it's during this season that I also celebrate birthdays...
howdyquilts at gmail dot com
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
ok, seriously...while I do love that song, I do love me some chocolate chip pie, my puppy Leisel, my city Louisville, and my adopted country of India. Just to name a few.
And the month of September...my birthday was last friday, and i kept on meaning to enter these giveaways but somehow didn't....grrrr.
my email is : iccajer148 at gmail dot com
Favorites: My wonderful husband. Three and half years ago he was in a terrible motorcycle accident and was in the hospital for nearly a year. I call the scars on his head "love taps" from God. I know we hear this all the time, but yall, tell those around you how much you love them everyday. Less than ten minutes after talking to him on the phone and saying I love you...our lives were forever changed. As we look at it now, of course we see all the good that has come of it, but more importantly, we dont take our time with each other for granted. Praise God!

I could go on and on... but I won't!
Thanks for the awesome give-aways!
Smiles,
Jen
My favorite exclamation: Shoot a monkey!! It's been working its way into my conversations for about ten years. People always look at me funny when I say it, but it works for me.
jeni(at)allenfamily(dot)us
I'm not really a Samford & Son fan. My dad is, though. Huge. Mainly because his dad looked exactly like Fred Samford. Except he was white. He had the same laugh and loved freaking people out by grabbing his chest and yelling,"I'm coming, Elizabeth!" But only if we were in WalMart or the grocery store or any other major public place. This was also the same man who could spit water and in would somehow land on my dog. I swear that spit would turn corners just to get the dog. PawPaw loved it and Buffy hated it. It got so bad that PawPaw would shake his water glass and Buffy would run like a crazy fool to get away. And PawPaw would laugh his danged head off. Memories like that of my grandfather, are some of my favorite things.
And chocolate.
And puppies.
And babies when they get out of the bathtub...
blah blah blah
I remember Sanford & Son very well.
My favorite things are chocolate, my daughter, movies: Moonstruck, As Good as it Gets - not necessarily in that order.
email: pticester@gmail.com
I used to watch Sanford & Sons all the time!!
Here are some of my favorites:
*COFFEE!! I love to drink it and I love the smell of coffee grinds. (Seriously, I'll open the coffee canister just to get a whiff.)
*GARDENING!! I'm ridiculously passionate about gardening.
*"Grey's Anatomy" Gotta have my Grey's!
*My favorite color is blue!
*My favorite gem stone is sapphire--because it's blue!
*Favorite actor is John Wayne. I just love to listen to him talk with that accent.
*Favorite actress is Kate Hudson.
leechy1225@yahoo.com
My favorite food is Fried Okra.
My favorite color is turquoisy-teal.
My favorite day of the year is Christmas.
My favorite child is the one growing inside of me.
My favorite husband is mine of 2 years and 14 days.
My favorite giveawayer is Beachy Mimi.
My favorite Target giftcard would be used to buy a book case I've been eyeing for some time.
My favorite food, hands down, is any sort of potato. Baked, mashed, casserole, any way. I am not picky, I just love me some starchy carbs. And it shows, which is why I cannot eat them anymore. So sad.
You are incredibly generous...thank you so much!
I love Birthdays!! Happy Birthday Month to you! I celebrate Birthday Month in March and it drives a lot of my friends crazy; mostly because they didn't think of it for themselves. Ha!
Some other favorites are red wine, and a nice dinner at home with my guy.

My very favorites (other than the obvious ones of Jesus, family, etc)...
...watching my hubby get all excited when the Colts win a football game, and watching my 7 year old daughter get all excited with him.
...hearing my 5 year old just giggle and giggle and giggle. Her REAL laugh. It just cracks me up!
...the movie "Fireproof" coming out on Sept. 26 but I got to see a pre-release showing. It made hubby and me laugh hysterically, cry together, and now every other movie I watch has been ruined for me. (see my blog for more details)

I read this post this morning and have spent all day trying to decide on what my favoritest favorite is. What resulted was a realization as to how blessed I am to have so many. "Every good and perfect gift is from above..." (James 1:17)
But I decided to share my favorite kind of day: having a softly falling rain outside, cool enough for snuggling up but warm enough to not be freezing, cuddled into my perfect bed, with a great book to read, usually by Miss Agatha Christie or Francine Rivers.
wiggins(dot)beth(at)gmail(dot)com
Oh, honey, I know all about your dentist/teeth/smilie troubles, and i am so, so sorry. But the alternative is smoothies and milkshakes for the rest of your life, and no living without a blender, so I am glad for you that you have a trustworthy dentist, even though he did abandon you to gamble.
My favorite thing today is a blue tarp, covering the gaping hole in my breakfast room that Ike left me. It is a very nice thing to have a sunlight in the room now with a soft blue hue shining thru. And it is keeping us dry...so it's a very good thing. Another fav. of mine is decorating and looks like I might get to do a little of this once the roof, attic and ceiling are finished. And I love to shop at Target....so that tells you a little about me.
You are so generous to gift for your b'day celebration. Bless your heart!
Suzanne
Let's see...favorites...a day without potty training accidents, healthy kids, hearing my kiddos belly laugh, sleeping through the night (me and the kids), massages, dates with my husband, blogging, connecting with friends on facebook, reading a book without interruptions, cooking, getting dressed up and going out with adults to remind myself that I am more than just Mommy and eau de spit-up will not always be my dominant scent.

This is my favorite story:
My thighs were stolen from me during the night of Aug. 3, 1999. It was just that quick. I went to sleep in my body and woke up with someone else's thighs. The new ones had the texture of cooked oatmeal. Who would have done such a cruel thing to legs that had been wholly, if imperfectly, mine for years? Whose thighs were these? What happened to mine?
I spent the rest of the summer looking for them. I searched, in vain, at pools and beaches, anywhere I might find female limbs exposed. I became obsessed. I had nightmares filled with cellulite and flesh that turns to bumps in the night. Finally, hurt and angry, I resigned myself to living out my life in jeans and Sheer Energy pantyhose.
Then, just when my guard was down, the thieves struck again. My rear end was next. I knew it was the same gang, because they took pains to match my new rear end (although badly attached at least three inches lower than the original) to the thighs they had stuck me with earlier. Now my rear complemented my legs, lump for lump. Frantic, I prayed that long skirts would stay in fashion.
One year ago I realized my arms had been switched. One morning while fixing my hair, I watched, horrified but fascinated, as the flesh of my upper arms swung to and fro with the motion of the hairbrush. This was really getting scary. My body was being replaced, cleverly and fiendishly, one section at a time. In the end, in deepening despair, I gave up my T-shirts.
What could they do to me next? Age? Age had nothing to do with it! Age was supposed to creep up, unnoticed and intangible, something like maturity. NO, I was being attacked, repeatedly and without warning. That's why I've decided to share my story; I can't take on the medical profession by myself.
Women of America, that isn't really "plastic" those surgeons are using. You know where they're getting those replacement parts, don't you? The next time you suspect someone has had a face "lifted," look again! Was it lifted from you? Check out those tummy tucks and buttocks raisings. Look familiar? Are those your eyelids on that movie star? I finally may have found my thighs... and I hope Charlize Theron paid a really good price for them!
My favorite store...TARGET! What a coincidence!!! And going to Target with a $75 gift card with no children...even better!
Thanks for your generosity!
kelcombs@hotmail.com
My favorites are family, the beach, and reading (books and blogs). Yours is hysterical!!!
kthompson@graceba.net
No, no, no, thank YOU!
My favorite right now is enjoying the relationships I'm cultivating with my daughters. My oldest is on the brink of becoming my friend and the second one is not far behind. This time of parenthood is quickly becoming my favorite!
I love sunsets and my kids, sunrises and my kids, rainbows and my kids, and chocolate and my kids. Oh, and I love my kids. One of them is my favorite big kid and the other one is my favorite little kid. One is my favorite brunette and the other one is my favorite blond.
squirrelsmom*at*hotmail*dot*com
Mmmm... favorites.
This being autumn (almost) and all, I'd have to concur with Winnie the Pooh.
"...hot chocolately mornings, toasted marshmallow evenings, and best of all, leaping in leaves!"
My favorite thing would have to be the sound of my sons laugh. His real laugh, not the one he uses to humor me. His real laugh makes me just smile, melt, and sometimes tear up, it is that wonderful.
PS: don't tell him, he's at that easily embarrassed stage!
Just a few favorite things:
Favorite things in the whole world: My kids and family
Drink: Diet Coke
Color: Hot pink
Flower: Lily
Sport: Nascar. And yes I am from the deep south:) I keep the love of Nascar a secret from most.
Favorite Holiday: Easter.
Thanks so much for the giveaways!
