The prize was definitely one of the most swanky I've had here on this blog: a 60-minute hot stone massage and a hair cut, courtesy of <a href="http://www.sandalwoodspa.net/">Sandalwood Day Spa, at 37th and Harvard</a>.<div><br /></div><div>Plenty of you wanted this prize. I'm right there with you. Who couldn't use an hour on a massage table and then a few extra minutes in a stylists' chair? Oh, I could. I really, really could. </div><div><br /></div><div>Sadly, I can't enter my own giveaways. But I can help serve up a winner. </div><div><br /></div><div>In this case, the early bird got the worm. The winner is entry No. 1, Mercedes Millberry!</div><div><br /></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 600px; height: 106px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tZVufRlMtzM/SiXfMYo8UDI/AAAAAAAABSM/tG8H3EZynLM/s400/Picture+1.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342921936810561586" /></div><div><br /></div><div>Congrats, Mercedes! You have fun, woman. Have fun for all of us.</div><div><br /></div><div>I loved the entry after Mercedes: </div><div><br /></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 600px; height: 123px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tZVufRlMtzM/SiXeyDUOKsI/AAAAAAAABSE/4eHxMhqdni4/s400/Picture+2.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342921484409907906" /></div><div><br /></div><div>I'm guessing Mercedes knows Ed. Or, maybe he's just an anonymous yet kindly Internet crazy. Either way, Ed gets a gold star for the day. The ladies, Ed, we salute thee. </div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks to everyone for entering. And may we all win a massage, even if it's from indentured servants (read: significant others, children and maybe even pets, depending on how overworked we are). </div>
