Update:
How do I admit that it was all FIVE? Sigh. It happened, people, I actually was too sick to eat cookies. I am marking this as a historical event, as it has never happened before. So … winners were drawn from the correct guesses and are #6 and #55. Email me with a few book choices and your snailmail.
Original post:
Okay so I’ve messed up the past two contests now. One I forgot to name winners for, and then I apparently can’t count and named winners who don’t exist.
I blame the Nyquil.
So let’s try this again. Which of the following things happened to me yesterday? Take a guess and I’ll choose a few winners from all the correct guesses.
1. Cried over the Friends season two episode where Rachel and Ross kiss, and when Alpha Man caught me at it, I told him I had something in my eye.
2. Got lost snow shoeing less than 100 yards from my house.
3. SLOW HEAT WENT BACK TO PRINT, YOU GUYS ROCK.
4. I forgot to change the kitty litter and the cat pooped right outside the box to make her point.
5. My neighbor made me cookies and thanks to my bad cold, I actually didn’t want them.

#1,3 and possibly 2

I say 2, 3 and 4. Cause I can’t see you fibbing over crying, even if it is a tv show. And you not wanting cookies would require something far worse than a cold. Perhaps a coma?

Uhm, i don’t know…. 4,2,3?
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 3:53 amJudy F says:
I say 1 2 3 4
can’t see 5 happening.
Hope you feel better. Hugs

I’m lay odds all the above, but best news was 3 I’m sure. Made for a good Monday/Tuesday, cept for the cold.

I’m taking the lazy way out and saying all of the above.
Feel better hon. Pssst, btw, the winner of your contest lives in Croatia. The world is enjoying Jill’s books
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 4:20 amAmy M says:
I am going to say 1-4. And I am omitting 5, because I know that I would have to be dead to not want to eat cookies, and my hope is that I am not alone in that way!
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 4:41 amFran says:
I thing the first 4 things happened, the fifth is not likely to happen (I mean the neighbour bringing cookies not you not eating it)
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 4:48 amRachael Hardin says:
I am guessing all but the last. If you are passing up cookies you might need to be hospititlized.
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 5:54 amWendy says:
All of them BUT number 5, no way you’d say no to cookies!!
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 6:36 amM says:
2-3-4
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 6:39 amAshley says:
#3- Yay Jill!
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 6:44 amJennifer M says:
I say 2, 3 & 4. Can’t imagine not wanting cookies!
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 7:00 amMaureen says:
I’m guessing 1,3,4.
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 7:02 amRandi says:
I’m going to guess 1-4.
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 7:07 amThanks!
Sabrina says:
I’m going with 1-4. I don’t think even a cold would keep you from wanting cookies.
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 7:13 amMarty says:
My guess is all but 2 happened!
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 7:14 amTracy S says:
#1 – #4
Cold’s don’t usually ruin my appetite, so I’ll guess you’ll still want cookies!
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 7:32 amayleen says:
I’ll say 1 & 4
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 7:38 amJoyce Z says:
I SAY ALL BUT #5. I KNOW HOW YOU LOVE YOUR COOKIES. WHO DOSEN’T ?!
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 8:00 amAmy L says:
2, 3, and 4? If #5 had happened, I’d think the world was coming to an end!!!
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 8:01 amJamie says:
I’m guessing they’ve all happened, just not all yesterday.
3, 4, and (yeah, I know, I’m in the minority here) 5?
Hope you feel better soon, and congrats on Slow Heat!
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 8:25 amRachel says:
1-4 because cookies are comfort food.
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 8:29 amCarol says:
I’m think maybe all of the above but can’t believe you turned down the cookies
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 8:30 amAmy H says:
I’m going to guess all but #2!
(Congrats on the ‘back to print’!!)
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 8:57 amStacy S says:
I’ll go with 2, 3, and 4.
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 9:01 amConnie Lee says:
I think 1,3,4. No way would you turn down cookies!
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 9:01 amcheryl c. says:
Since you have been on the Nyquil diet, I am going to say ALL of them (even #5)!
I hope you feel better soon!!!
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 9:59 amLinda Henderson says:
I’m going to say number 1 and 3 happened. I’ll probably be wrong and it will be all 5.
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 10:01 amGeorganna says:
My guess would be 1, 3, & 4
Hope you feel better soon.
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 10:46 amkim h says:
i say 1- 4 lol
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 10:48 amget some rest
Susan says:
1-4. Nothing can spoil the need or desire for cookies. Although I am hesitating on #1.
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 10:51 amJill D says:
#3 hope you are feeling better
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 11:17 amD says:
I have absolutely no clue, I suck at this kind of thing. Reading everyone’s responses however was extremely entertaining(I definitely needed the laugh today). Poor Jill we have such little faith in your ability to stay “off” cookies.
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 11:21 amSonyaM says:
Guessing 1 through 4. I can’t imagine any one NOT wanting cookies. I’m thinking that perhaps you didn’t eat one, but that doesn’t mean you didn’t want one…
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 11:29 amcorinne says:
I am going to go with all 5 because past history has taught me that somehow these things seem to all happen to you at once. Hope you are feeling better
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 11:37 amPS – I swear by Mucinex with I have a bad chest/head cold
Sonya says:
It’s so funny to me that any of these could have happened and it would be “normal” for Jill.
I just have to chuckle…
Anyway, I hope it was #3! That would be so great for you!
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 12:01 pmKristina C. says:
I’m going to say 1,3,4 and 5, but I’m not sure which order. PS- I’m a horrible guesser. And I hope you feel better!!!
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 12:20 pmChristina T. says:
I am going to say all of the above!!
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 12:21 pmCaroline Storer says:
Umm an interesting set – and knowing you I’ll say 1 -4. 5 could be a goer but it would depend on a) they were *crap* cookies made with spinach say (yuk!) and b) do you have *any* neighbours? I thought you lived with bears in the middle of nowhere?. So I’m going to hedge my bets and try and outguess you and say ALL of them! Take care. Caroline x
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 12:24 pmDonna M says:
First of all, I hope #3 is true but I’m thinking that after reading your blog for quite some time that all of them happened!
I hope you feel better soon. Take good care of yourself.
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 12:28 pmEmma says:
Hope you feel better.I’m guessing 2, 3, and 4.
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 12:39 pmmindy says:
I’d say 1,2, 4 and 5. If you’re sick, i can’t see you snowshoeing!
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 12:48 pmWendyG says:
You not want cookies?! I’m not buying that one!
I’ll guess 2,3 and 4.
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 1:01 pmStephanie says:
I saw 1, 3 and 4.
5′s never going to happen and I think you snowshoe too often for 2 but I wont completely rule it out…
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 1:25 pmRonna Drane says:
I say all of them (and I’m sorry about the cookies!)
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 1:50 pmcatslady says:
I’ll say 1, 3 & 4. You would never turn cookies down and you are too sick to be outside!!
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 2:10 pmJane says:
I think 1,2,3, and 4 happened.
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 2:57 pmRosie G. says:
2 3 and 4.
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 3:20 pmChelsea B. says:
Umm….I’m going to say all of them but 4!
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 4:14 pmKate says:
I am guessing 1, 3 & 5. Love your books! Hope you are feeling better!
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 4:25 pmNicole S says:
I’m going with 2,3,4.
My cat will do that is we don’t change his litter.
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 4:30 pmDee B. says:
1,2,3,4. Get well soon,
Dee
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 4:34 pmchey says:
1,2,3,4
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 5:04 pmFeel better soon.
Angelique says:
All of the above?
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 5:41 pmJoyce says:
I’m going with all of them.
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 6:03 pmDiana says:
My guess is 1, 2, 3, 4. I can’t see a silly cold stopping you from consuming cookies, especially homemade ones!
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 6:46 pmEshani says:
I’m going to go with all of them, even though you must really need that Nyquil if number 5 is true
Hope you feel better, and you should hide those cookies for when you feel better 
Posted on February 24th, 2010 at 9:20 pmPat L. says:
I am going to say 1 2 3 4 – cannot see you not eating the cookies. LOL.
Posted on February 25th, 2010 at 5:20 amNatalies Mama says:
1 2 3 – will pass on the poop and you would never pass on cookies.
Posted on February 25th, 2010 at 12:30 pmHelen L. says:
1, 3, 4 – you would never NOT want cookies and you wouldnt get lost so close to home.
Posted on February 25th, 2010 at 8:07 pmDiana says:
Jill, I’m SHOCKED that you turned down cookies!
