So I did.
I posted on Facebook. E-mailed about 200 friends. Posted about it here on God's Daughter.
And just last week, I got an e-mail say, 'You won Francesca Battistelli's promotional contest! Your prize is an iPad 2. Please e-mail me with your mailing info.'
::chin hit the floor::
I thought it was a joke, at first. I mean there are so many spam people going around out there looking for people (like me!) who had entered some sort of contest, and then e-mailing (and freaking them out!!) by saying that they had won.
But I wrote the guy back (he sounded legit...Adam something-or-other...he had an address and phone number following his name, etc.) and gave him my address.
Then, this last weekend, while I was gone at my friend's house, my Mama called me on my cell and said.
'Where's the at iPad coming from??'
'Nashville, Tennessee!' I practically screamed back.
'Well, it's here! Can I open it?'
'No!!! Bring it on Sunday when you pick me up!'
So she did. I had to have someone to squeal at, and a friend of mine came out to the parking lot with me. :D haha
And so...I am now the proud owner of an Apple iPad 2.
Real pics coming soon!!! :)
Oh, and I need to name it. Not sure if it's a guy or girl yet, but...feel free to comment with suggestions! ;)

27 of your thoughts:
It needs to be a girl.
Because isn't your camera a boy? :)
once again...
jealous!
{ok...not really. I'll probably end up getting one- once I get my upgraded camera!}
Congratulations!!!!!
Urgh, I'm so upset with myself for NOT entering the contest thing after you sent an email talking about it!
The iPad should be a girl, for sure! Alfonzo might get jealous if there's another guy in your life. ;)
That is soooo cool!!!! Maybe Amanda to go with Alfonzo {sorry don't know if I spelled that right}? But that is sooo cool that you got an ipad 2!!!!!
Wow! That is so cool!!
I am so glad that you name things. :) I name things as well, and I have been trying to think of what to name my laptop. :)
wow!!!!
I love naming things!!! I've named my camera Pascal, and I already have other names planned for electronics I don't even own yet :)
By the way, I'm a HUGE fan of Francesca Battistelli's music- that is so cool that you won!!!
That is so cool! Hmmm....I think it should be a boy...for no reason at all. :)
Blessings and love,
Lauren Elaine

Love you!
THAT'S SO SO SO SO SO COOL!!!!!!!!! We had an iPad... and then dad was running late for work, and his arms were so full.. so he put some stuff on top of the car, you know so he could put other stuff IN the car... and I guess you know the ending. He was driving, and, whoa, something flies past.
Bye-bye, iPad. So may I kindly warn you not to leave it on top of the car?;)
Wow that is amazing! I don't know what else to say :-) Congrats girly!
xoxo Miss ALK
That's so cool! Amazing prize! Can't wait to see the pics! :)

Hmmmm..... you could name it 'touchy' 'Eva' like from Walle,or Francesca???
Congrats! I always wanted one of those! They are so cool.
Wow! At least you didn't faint when you read that e-mail... I'm pretty sure I would've. :P :D
CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Congratulations Miss Raquel!
Its a cool thing!
Ahh! You are one "lucky" girl, Miss Raquel! Congratulations for the iPad 2! (On a side note, I just heard that Steve Jobs died. :( ) My suggestion, make it a girl and give it a girl's name!
I my word! you are so lucky!! I've been saving up for one for like 4 months, super excited for you!!
names:
Gwendelyn
Cordylia
Umm... how about Abraya? or Adleigh ("ornament") or Aftyne? (Aftin, "from England") That would go nice with Alfonzo! :D
That is so cool that you won an Ipad 2!!! how exciting =)
♥Alli :)
Hmm...name for your iPad:
Alena
Abigail
