***40 TOTAL AIR BOX WINNINGS FOR WI MEMBERS***


We have a new addition to our list, Pokemom. She has taken off running, winning 2 lovely boxes of air at her first party! I have a feeling she has several more wins in her before she's done, our old timers better be careful or they won't know what hit them!

As you can see our beloved Kowalski is tied for last place with 2 wins, but I'm sure he won't be there for long! He got a late start in the competition, and knowing how party crazy he is I just can't imagine he won't be up with the rest of us before long! He is dancing up a storm while he waiting for that next win - and I'm not going to complain, because there is nothing funnier/cuter than watching that chubby penguin dance!

Barkins has been trying desperately to win more air boxes, often spending 85% of the party on the "party starting" screen. Saturday she pulled off an AMAZING win, with the Air Box magically appearing on the "party starting" page. I wouldn't have believed it if she hadn't posted her screen shot. I must admit, it was quite appropriate that she win that way, with as often as she sits there. She is quite the trooper, because even when she makes it into a party she is often greeted with an empty looking room, even though everyone else can see her standing on them! Barkins is probably my favorite underdog, if for no other reason that she is so determined to do whatever it takes to win this tally!

London is hanging tight at 3 air boxes, she doesn't seem to be too concerned about winning, but is just enjoying the parties. She has been looking lovely as usual, and dancing up a storm to celebrate not only her wins, but also her friends wins! But who knows, she could just be playing us all, secretly plotting a way to beat everyone when they aren't expecting it!

Mei Lin and Majick were doing great with three air boxes right off the bat, but they seem to have disappeared the last day. Will they be back tonight to continue their winning streak, or have they decided that air boxes just aren't for them???

Rif is quickly coming up from behind, with a new total 4 wins. Is Rif the lucky pet of the Rif/Raf pair? Or was it just another random win? Only time will tell, but if I were superstitious, I'd be bringing Rif to my party - he just seems to attract the wins!

Ahh, Juniper. The adorable, friendly, bouncy rabbit. Many competing in this tally did not think a rabbit would make it this far, but Juniper has proved them all wrong. She's not going to let the biased people at WW hold her back - regardless of the fact we all know they prefer dogs and cats over other cuddly animals. Juniper has her mind set on winning, and the finish line is easily within her reach! With 4 wins it only takes one more before she's tied for first!

Edward was the most favored WI to win, until yesterday. He started out strong on Friday with 4 wins, only to disappear. Now he's dropped out of first place, did he drop out completely? Has he decided he's too good for the air box, and is waiting to return to the cove when he can once again add to his inflatable palm collection? No one seems to know....

Then there is Taurin, the little tiger that could. Somehow he has continued a steady stream of air box wins, collecting just enough each day to stay near the top of the list with 5. He can't dance, heck, he can't even speak (those darn WW glitches), but he sure can smile. Maybe that is his secret to winning air, all the smiles he shares during the parties. I guess only Taurin knows, and I bet he's not telling!

Fleece and Oddball continue to rack in the wins. Collectively they are up to 5 air boxes, and they are still partying strong. Like Taurin, they have steadily won box after box each day. They could easily continue this winning streak and take it all, but will they???

And finally, there is dear Lola. An amazing little lamb, she has stolen the hearts of many. With her fluffy fur and amazing fashion sense I could easily see her on many a banner ad to come. She has surprised many as she started out very slowly, and then suddenly came out of no where winning box after box after box, currently holding strong at 5. Will her luck continue? We don't know, but what we do know is that regardless of the tally outcome, Lola and her cuteness will leave a lasting impression on all of us.

Stay tuned for more air box updates!

Your commentary had me crying from laughing so hard..hubby says I actually snorted once!

I love it and you deserve a rep for such positive spirit lifting!!

[baxjul]

I love your commentary!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

[akoolaunt]

You put a smile on my face MKM! There is always a bright side to any situation, you just have to look for it. You found it for us during this glitch. Standing O !!

[vickiw]

Wow! What an amazing commentary! You made me laugh more than once...I was thinking this morning how much cove parties have changed since we started winning air. I think it has to do with the way almost everyone is maintaining a sense of humor and a positive attitude instead of griping about the raffles. And, in seeing the humor in it, we all are drawing closer together in a shared, once-in-a-lifetime experience; in seeing the humor in it, we all are seeing one another as unique contributors to the cove experience as well as unique individuals with so much to offer.

Just some musings of the top of my head...

[mykidsmom]

Holy cow! So much to respond to!

Mama - I am SO glad I am not the only person who sometimes snorts when they laugh! I often feel like I am the only person out there who does that, even though I don't do it that often. I'm happy you have joined in the air box tally, I think you are going to fit right in!!!

Bax - now London has a reputation to live up to. Can you handle it? No more sweats for you girlfriend! You had better hit the trading room and get some more awesome kinzstyle clothes so you can continue to strut your stuff!

Auntie - You're right about there always being a bright side! Remind me of that when school starts and I feel like I am losing my mind. LOL

Vicki - I too have been having a great time just winning air. Yes, it would be nice if the air had a kinzcash value to it, but what can you do? This is so much funner than griping, and instead of everyone running away from the parties we've all pulled together and just enjoyed ourselves. I love it!!!!!!!! WI and the Canonymous thread rock!!!


Thanks guys for being so cool, and making my last few weeks of summer extra fun. I just hope I can still manage to hit the parties when school starts and I head back to work.

I love the commentary!! Even though I wasn't there I felt Like I was.

I can't wait to join in the fun at the next party.
