Monday suck-day, take 10!!
Monday, October 20, 2008
Good morning! Err, bad morning, if you're a true suck-day'er. I didn't get any kind of a weekend (Christopher had to work for the 2nd weekend in a row), so today feels like it should be Friday, and when I think about how its really Monday, the suck settles in. I decided to treat Eleanore and myself to a delicious bowl of chocolate/peanut butter/banana hot cereal. That way at least I can look back on the day and say "well, at least the cereal was good".
You guys! Can you believe its our 10 week anniversary? You, me, and the suck? Well, to celebrate, we're doing a DOUBLE giveaway! That's right, what a better way to show our love (or hate, in some situations) for the suck, than giving away extra stuff??
This week you can win a perfect-for-Halloween Wolf Girl Gocco note card by susanestellekwas, AND some mouth watering candy corn lip balm by daisycakessoap. I recently bought a "mint lovers" lip balm package from daisycakessoap, after giving Christopher the assignment of finding something that I could safely put on my kisser. My food allergies effect my bath and body products just as much as they effect what I eat (yeah, I cried the day I had to throw away all of my beautiful MAC). I'm extremely happy with my purchase. Trust me folks, you need this lip balm. I saw this amazing Wolf Girl card while browsing the empty streets of etsy early Saturday morning, and fell head over heels. Have you seen a better Halloween card?? Didn't think so. I'm so excited that shes offered to give one away!! So, what do you have to do to enter...
The rules:
-Visit both shops. susanestellekwas, and daisycakessoap.
-Look through both shops, and pick out your favorite item(s) from each.
-Come back to this here suck-day post, and tell us what you found and love!
-Tell us why Monday's suck!!
-If you're not a member of team blogger, then make sure you leave a name and email for us to get a hold of you in case you win! Otherwise, you lose, and that sucks.
-Contest ends Thursday around noon.
-Contest ends Thursday around noon.
-Want an extra two entries? Blog about this weeks giveaway, complete with pictures and links on your own blog! Then come back here and leave another comment with the link to the entry.
OK, that's enough blabbing on my end. Go suck!

Whoa! Awesome giveaway this week!
favs:
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=11083181 because I used to wear one of those muffy things on my hands when I was little, and the print is too cute.
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=15621969 because they're badass.
Mondays suck because it was 30-something degrees when I woke up this morning, and that is NO WAY to start the week. Nope.
my faves:
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10611009
"comfort", cause it totally is what i think comfort is...my kitty, a fire, and comfy socks!
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16350705
anything brown sugar will turn me on....
today sucks for me cause i have my chem midterm tonight (which of course i did not study for....)
Okay, first two things that most certainly do not suck:
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16201369
This is the best Abe thing I've ever seen and the suckiness of Monday might had pushed me a little more towards tears when I read this quote on the print. Awesome!
And these just look outstanding:
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16283695
And if I could use it to wash out my mouth from such a bad Morning morning of swearing, I would.
Monday sucks because:
My boss is a BEEPhead who complains about our mileage spent delivering his papers and visiting clients.
Dog puked under my chair.
Enough said!
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13410726 because I love the sentiment and think the entwined tails are so cute!
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=15700493 because I LOVE lip balm and have never seen pomegranate before. And if I don't win this thing I might have to go get some candy corn for myself...
Mondays suck because the train is always full and I end up sitting next to a sleeping, snoring smelly guy who doesn't give me enough room and tries to use me as a pillow.
bahaha!! You guys are totally cracking me up today.
Hi I'm Nicole, nice to meet you. =)
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16201369
I think these goccos are especially appropriate given the political climate (and that's the cutest Abe I've ever seen =d).
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16066537
The deal is awesome, but the clever (yet nerdy) title? Seals the deal for me.
Mondays suck because the garbage truck wakes me at the _ungodliest_ hours, and I end up zombie-like for the rest of the day.
Ooooh! I love Susanestellekwas's shop! Ive never seen it before, so thanks for showing us.
I really love this piece, 1. because the girl has red hair, and 2. because there is a cat laying on the girl. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13560618
My fav item from Daisycakessoap would have to be the mint choclate lip balm.http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13115019
Mondays suck-because I have to wake up alone and cold!
I love the sniff sniff gocco from Susan, and the chai tea soap from daisycakes! :)
Mondays suck because I don't do my homework on weekends...
I would love to win this!
caligirl, I'd love for you to win it too, hehe. In order to enter, please follow the posted rules :)
Mondays suck so hard don't they! grats on the anniversary, sorta, 10 weeks does rock though! So anyways my monday sucks because I have no work to do, they are always my slow work days so I sit at the computer reading blogs, which is cool, but the day drags out!
my cool finds: Summer Jazz Original (hella cool) and olive oil soap! mmmm oil!
m ondays suck because you have to put on shoes and underwear

I love the Chai Tea Soap and Janet in the Snow art print.
And, I actually love Mondays.
lilacbutterfly [at] earthlink.net
I would have to say, not to suck up, but both things up for the drawing are my favorite things on those pages? could it be because I'm a sucker for Halloween? Or could it be because I love the stuff...maybe both. I just really would like to try the candy corn lip balm.
Monday sucks because I'm way behind for the week and it's the first day. I have a bad case of procrastination today and there's nothing like being angry at yourself on a Monday.
Mondays suck because it means the weekend is over and I love the Janet in the Snow from Estelle Kwas and the strawberry cheesecake lip balm from Daisycakes Soap.
rebbi511 at peoplepc.com
Because I just found out my husbands cousin and his family arent going to get to come to our towns Pumpkin Festival on Saturday! Im sad and disapointed!
I found:For the Love of Lincoln-gocco cards-set of 3, and the chai tea lip balm...
today, monday sucked because i went to my workout despite still being a little sick..and now my legs hurt.
Thanks for the contest.
I like the Comfort- original painting at susanestellekwas's shop and the NEW Wild Flowers Solid Perfume from daisycakes soap shop.
I hate Mondays because hubs goes back to work, kids go back to school, and I get to clean house, go to the grocery, and do all of the other boring stuff.
Really? More sweet prizes?
I like fresh stuff from susanestellekwas's etsy. My birthday's right around the onset of school each fall, and some years birthday presents were nixed in favor of school supplies. Oh well. I still like stuff! And the shop owner's from Milwaukee, which is a likable town and home of PBR.
Then, this chocolate coffee soap sounds awesome. I tried to make a coffee scrub once - it smelled delicious, but involved messy coffee grounds so had limited application.
hells bells. forgot to say why mondays suck. today sucks because there's a crappy show about hauntings and i keep sneezing and i have a headache :(
i like the winter at last notecards and the natural peppermint soap! Both stores are very fun :)

Mondays suck because that means my boyfriend goes back on the road for the week.
I like the
Zephyr and Luna-gocco cards- set of 3
Honey Bar Assortment Gift Box
Thanks for the giveaway
Well not every monday sucks, but today in particular sucked as I had to take a cpi training class that was 6 hours and just way to long.
Comfort- original from susanestellekwas and from daisycakessoap's I like Patchouli Orange Solid Perfume.
Nora
neneelynn@yahoo.com
like the Monica on the Slopes- original painting from susanestellekwas andthe honey bar assortment gift box from daisycakessoap
I like http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10611009 named "Comfort-original" because it reminds me of my puppy curling up against my feet on Sunday as we napped.
I have a weakness for natural soaps and lip balms so I love everything, but, I picked the "Key Lime" lip balm http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=15829067.
My Monday sucked because I had to work 1 1/2 hours longer than I usually do!
Fun contest!
Um, hello! Turkey soap??? How could you not love turkey soap?
I vaguely remember my high school History teacher saying something like "For the love of Lincoln" instead of other choice words. It made me giggle.
Hi everyone! I just wanted to remind you that in order to be entered in the contest, you have to list your favorite item(s) from both shops, not just one. And you've got got GOT to leave a name and email, otherwise you're not qualified. I can let it slide if you don't hate Monday's, hehe, but the other ones are must-haves. Thanks!! And good luck!!
Yay!!! What a nice double treat!! Happy 10 week anniversary!!
From Susanestellekwas's shop I love Zephyr and Luna-they are precious!!
And from Daisycakessoap the Coffee and Kahlua Lip Balm sounds amazing!!
Monday sucks because I have to work!
Ok, I blogged about this super cool contest at www.zulidesigns.blogspot.com
So, for my 2nd entry into the contest, I like Zephyr and Luna-gocco cards (so cute!) and Chai Tea Lip Balm (less calories!)

and http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16177805
I really need those to feel relax, especially now.
This monday sucks because my baby's cold gets worse and my hubby's grandma just passed away.
susanestellekwas' Bad Times Ahead-gocco cards-set of 3 reminds me of sucky Mondays!
daisycakessoap's Pomegranate Lip Balm will tide me over until Spring!
My Monday sucked because it was COLD today. 66ยบ in the house when I crawled out of bed. I just wanted to hibernate!
Monday sucks because it means it's back to being responsible, and I hate that. HaHa HaHa
My favorite item from (susanestellekekwas) is "For the Love of Lincoln-gocco cards-set of 3" and from (daisycakesoaps) is "The wedding day solid perfume"
Thanks for such a great giveaway.

Ok, I love the Janet in the Snow print (love it!) and the manatee soap. Who doesn't love manatee's?
For me, this Monday sucked because I have been soooo tired! But, we went out to have a drink, and its better! Now I'm real tired and its time for bed. Thanks!
-Chelsey

Okay, now I'm done. Thanks!

I like the Winter at Last illustration, winter is my favorite time of year! The peppermint oatmeal soap sounds like it would really wake me up in the mornings.
Mondays suck because they're the beginning of a long, hectic week with no end in sight, it seems!
I adore:
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13410726
and
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16410559
Finally,
Mondays are sucktastic because .....they just are
I like Dapper Firefly and Glycerin Pig. Also Mondays S*ck because of the early morning commute to drop off the kids and take my 45 minute trainride while getting to work by 9 on the dot.
love this http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13355266 awww!
and i also have the mint lipbalm pack from daisycakes soap. it's FAB and my favorite from her shop. coming in second is the lemon poppyseed soap.
mondays sucks because i have to go back to work as always. boring, i know. but it's truly the suckiest reason.
His wife said
mint chocolate bar
Monday sucks because its the start of the work week
tiramisu392 (at) yahoo.com
sniff sniff gocco from Susan and Wild Flowers Solid Perfume from daisycakes soap shop
I like the Jet Trails - print from the Susan Estelle Kwas- Art Shop best, and I like the Mint Chocolate Bar (Glycerin) from Daisycakes best. And Mondays suck because it's the first day back to work of course!
Candy corn lip balm sounds yummy. Mondays suck because it's a 5 long days until the weekend again.
I really liked both shops. I liked the Almond Biscotti Bath Bomb and the Winter at Last Card.
Mondays suck because it is the beginning of the week AND Never payday (We get paid Fridays).
mogrill@comcast.net
I like the Patchouli Orange Solid Perfume and the Janet in the Snow print.
Monday's stink because the weekend is so far away.
Thanks!

Hey Tia!
2 Things from Daisy Cakes Soap I like are
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=15708101
This one because I LOVE butterflies and it would SO match with my bathroom!
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16440635

And from Susanstellekwas store:
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10610244
I never understood why people are scared of clowns, they are cute and fun... see this pic SO CUTE!
And this Monday totally sucked because it meant the end of our vacation and time to start looking for a job... again. My dad and step mom were here for a visit last week and that was the best monday ever!
Take Care girl!
~Sarah (you should know where to find me)
I like the Winter At Last card set.
Mondays suck because my girls have dance and piano lessons that day. I spend most of the day driving Mom's Taxi.
From Susanestellekwas's shop - I love the Janet in the Snow- print. It is so beautiful.
From Daisycakes - I love the Natural Summer Blend Soap (with goats milk). It sounds fantastic.
Mondays sucks because I can't sleep in and have to get up early to go to work.
annemarie562000(at)yahoo(dot)com
The Key Lime lip balm from Daisycakessoap sounds wonderful. and "the Smell of Wooden Pier" really brings back memories at Susanestellekwas's shop.
I am trying to decide if I ruin my chance of winning if I say that Monday no longer sucks for me. I no longer am in the work force, kids are grown,new husband is wonderful, etc, etc.
From the Susan Estelle Kwas- Art Shop I love the Comfort- original painting.
From Daisycakes the Gingerbread Soap Loaf sounds divine!
Mint chocolate lip balm. Mondays are yuck, cause I have to get up early and face the week.
i love the Dapper Firefly from susanestellekwas and the soap trek travel bar in Pomegranate with Blueberry Seeds sounds awesome!
I love the Zephyr and Luna gocco cards from susanestellekwas' shop and the Glycerin Pig from daisycakessoap's shop! Mondays suck because you have to start the work week yet again.
From Susan Estelle Kwas- I love the Janet in the Snow print. I find that unusual yet cheery at the same time.
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=11083181
From Daisy Cakes Soap- I'm all into the natural peppermint oatmeal soap. It's the most invigorating scent, I love it and it's vegan-friendly!
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16410559
Mondays suck because the kids have to be back at school plus there are too many Mondays of mail-less holidays.

My favorite is chai tea soap from daisycakes.
My favorites: Susan Estelle Kwas-Janet in the Snow-print; Daisycakes Soap-Wild Flowers Solid Perfume. Mondays suck because I have to deal with all the moronic human drones going back to work after their pitiful weekend lives with beerdrinking and football games. I guess I'll have to listen to the men talk about for hundreds of times how they could have coached the team to victory. I could write a book on how Mondays suck but a better theme would be how the human race sucks...now about MxCain, Obama, Biden and Palin. garrettsambo@aol.com
i love monday the kids head back to school and i get to clean up their mess from the weekend
Suck day stuff:
susans place - sniff sniff cards
daisy cake place - Chai Tea Lip Balm
Why Mondays suck - I actually have to acknowledge the alarm clock!
I love these items
Jet Trails - print from susanestellekwas
Coffee Sack Soap Gift from daisycakessoap
Mondays suck because it's getting colder and it's far too early to get up and go lout the door to take the kiddos to school.
thanks for the contest!
airalynn(@)gmail . com
Monday's suck because I have to read the sports page telling me that the Cincinnati Bengals lost again.
Thanks everyone that entered the contest, but this weeks suck-day giveaway is now CLOSED :)

sehurtad@ucsc.edu
TY 4 THE ENTRY
what a great contest! this really does make mondays more exciting...even though I'm finding this on a Wednesday! :)
I love the 'rainy day kitty' from susanestelle. how cute is that mushroom hug?
and from daisy cakes? EVERYTHING. I would love to spoil myself with gingerbread soap, almond oat soap and candy corn lip balm!
I would say Mondays sometimes suck because they make me feel like a certain amount of work is expected of me and if I choose to take Monday off, then I'm not getting enough done. Not a good feeling.
Thank you for the great contest!
