Ok, just because I have not posted does not mean contests have not been entered!
SAT, Jan 17:
Travelsmith's Italian Villa Getaway. I get e-mails from them all the time anyway (got word of this via e-mail) so spam impact minimal.
Sun, Jan 18: Not one, but TWO contest entered.
The first--and truly exciting--one: For a Metropolitan Scooter at the NY International Motorcycle Show. They are giving TWO away. (Please god let it be so.)
The second--and not so exciting--one: For a trip to Daytona something or other involving bikes. Would kind of suck to win. I don't want to go to Daytona, I don't want to hang around with bikers, and I really don't want to hang around with bikers in Daytona. Also, I think the entry form involved abdicating all do not spam/do not call rights. Whoops....

It is done!
Yes, I have begun my journey. I entered my first contest.
Hard to believe, but when I was ready to start...I didn't have a contest to enter. How could that be? I see offers to enter contests all the time, and yet, here I was, a person with a contest-entering blog with no contest to enter.
I remembered a Gawker contest for Crate & Barrel stuff, and headed over there--it was gone. But THEN I remembered the fact that Time Out New York is always whoring itself/something out, and grabbed a copy of the magazine nearby. (I get it for free, or because I bought something, somewhere, at some point.) Sure enough, a contest to win a trip to Navarre, Spain--in honor of New York's Gastronomic Week--was up for the taking! (Which is kind of ironic, as one of my most vivid memories of my trip to Spain, was the food poisoning I got from some very delicious, but very not-so-good prawns in Bilbao.)
So, I really don't want to go to Spain, but let's face it, I probably won't. But...IT IS DONE! The first contest has been entered.

Hello! And welcome to Contest a Day!
Hey Peeps! This is where you follow my journey to untold riches/goods/services, and even more spam and unwanted solicitations!
Yes, this is where you can track my journey entering (drumroll) AT LEAST one contest a day for the unforeseen future! Will I be buried under a giant pile of junk mail? Perhaps! Perhaps even likely! Will I be deluged with spam e-mails? To be sure! Will I win many dollars, a car, and perhaps some merchandise? Unclear! Well, here is where we find out!
