It is with the utmost pleasure that I announce the winner of the HP MINI, which I published in my last piece, thanks to Microsoft and the launch of WINDOWS 7.

It was a tough call to make but at the 12^th hour I received a lovely email that struck me. The winner is Elizabeth Grilo. I just know this awesome little puter will server her well. Please find Elizabeth's email below.

Dear V,??

I was surfing though WOMAN.ca when I came across your page regarding Windows 7 and read about the contest to win a HP Mini computer. You were asking for a creative way to prove why I deserve the computer. Well in my eyes there is nothing more creative than juggling 3 kids every day. Let me fill you in

On August 12 Hayden Jackson was born (Since then I have felt so disconnected from every one.)

There isn't a computer in the home except for the one my husband brings from work and the only time I have access to it is when he is not working on it.

Here goes

1:00 am Feeding and diaper change??

3:00 am Feeding and diaper change??

5:00 am Feeding and diaper change??

7:00 am Get up and get the kids ready for school??

8:00 am Feeding once againhurry and bundle the baby upput him in the car seat and take the other 2 to school??

9:15 am Back from the driveplay with the babywish I could check email??

10:00 am Hayden is off to sleepwish I could chat online??

11:00 am Feeding againplay with the baby round 2??

12:30 pm Hayden is sleepingnow what to dowish I could email my friends??2:30 pm Wake up timefeedplaychange the baby??

3:30 pm Kids arrive home from schoolEmily needs help with her projectwish I could look up information on Saturn ??

5:00 pm Feed the babyKids complain, Aww, momchicken again! wish I had a computer to get some kid recipes??

7:00 pm Feed the babyoh nocolic timewish I had a could look up remedies to sooth the crying??

9:00 pm Put the kids to bed.

FINALLY, free time for mebut wait, I can't go on Facebook yet or even streamline some missed TV shows onlinecause the hubby is on his work computer still working.??10:30 pm Feed the baby and get ready to go to bed. Lying in bed, thinking to myselfWISH I HAD A COMPUTER!!!

So that is why I think I deserve the HP Mini computer. If you think

this is creative, try doing it all over again tomorrow.

Thank you for taking the time to read my daily routine!
