When a Little Debbie prize package is on the line, I resort to begging. I have no shame. 
Yesterday, I entered a haiku contest on my New Year’s Resolutions (or lack thereof) at http://rocksinmydryer.typepad.com/. Today, I learned that I’m a finalist!
One of the amazing prizes in the prize package is a box of Little Debbie Snacks. Now, please take a moment to close your eyes and reminisce about the magic of a Little Debbie Snack–perhaps this may take you back to times that the Soccer Team Mom brought Star Crunch Cosmic Snacks for the halftime treat and you devoured 6 because your mom only fed you bran snacks….or the many Oatmeal Cream pies you had to deny eating (yesterday) because the entire box was eaten in less than 30 minutes. Next, I want you to feel sorry for this pregnant woman who forgot her lunch today, bought breakfast from a vending machine and subsequently burnt it to flames in the toaster oven at work. I’m hungry. What I wouldn’t give now for a Little Debbie Snack!
Would you vote for me? Go now. Find the blue voting box in the middle of the page, and vote for the middle haiku “Ponder this, O Self — by Maren.” Please move this to your #1 priority task on your todo list for today, and recognize that a pregnant lady needs food. Don’t get sidetracked reading any of the other haikus along the way…it may deter you from what is REALLY important: voting for mine.
Ponder this, O Self:
This year, be not resolute–
The desserts beckon.
–by Maren of Howdytoya
Give el’ preggo some grub. Please and thank you.
PS You can vote NOW until 9am (CST) MONDAY MORNING!
