if you know me, you know i like to repurpose. be it a butter churn handle i picked up at an antique show and use for a toilet paper holder. or an old, beaten up ladder i use for a magazine rack. so when it comes to re-gifting i'm all for it. i've done it. i'm sure i've been a recipient [you know who you are, mom]. so, we're stuck down here ten miles south of common sense with nothing to do most days. we buy maps. still can't figure out where to go. or how to get there. a few months ago i happened upon a page on facebook. three hundred sixty-five things to do in michiana. i couldn't imagine there being that many but i thought it sounded like a great page. each day features a local business. and a link. recently, the page started giveaways. the one day i happened to catch the giveaway. they wanted to know what business was featured on a certain day. i scrolled down as fast as i could and found it. sweet. five guys and fries. we tried to go there once. it's at the mall. i'll have to tell you about that later. it's a long story. anyway, i was the first person to respond. i won us a twenty-five dollar gift certificate. i have the gift certificate mailed to my husband at work. you can never be too safe these days. even though the guy that runs the page is a realtor. my husband came home with the prize on friday. i took it. flipped it over and read the following on the back of the gift card sleeve: to: barry from: mom and dad. i. almost. peed. my. pants. i'm sure he would be mortified. i'll just be thankful for a free lunch.
