It’s a brand-spankin’ new year. That means “out with the old, in with the new”. Time for a new direction, goals or pursuits.
Lots happen when January rolls around. Super Bowl is this comin’ Sunday! Have you replaced your 2008 calendars yet? Started a new fitness routine? Implemented any New Year’s resolutions?
In keeping with the “New” theme, your $25 gift card choices are:
P.F. Chang’s China Bistro – if you love Chinese food or wanna celebrate Chinese New Year which began earlier this week!
Home Depot – need new tools to complete a home project?
Starbucks – the all-around good pick-me-up!
Foot Locker – gear to get you back into shape or like me, lose the pounds you picked up during the holidays!
Staples – maybe you need a 2009 calendar or office supplies to get organized!
ESPNShop.com – because real fans “sport” their team’s stuff!
Barnes & Noble – maybe you’ve had your eye on a particular book or DVD?
To enter drawing, answer these 2 questions in the “Post a Comment” section below:

Which gift card you’d like to receive if you’re the winner: P.F. Chang’s China Bistro, Home Depot, Starbucks, Foot Locker, Staples, ESPNShop.com, or Barnes & Noble
Aside from walking off the extra pounds, I’d say my one real goal is getting through my stack of books collecting dust. I am bound and determined to read one book each month (whether that really happens remains to be seen, LOL)! *Hmm, note to self: Maybe have a book giveaway?!*
Drawing will close on Monday, February 2nd @ 10pm PST. One entry per person, please. One winner will be chosen at random (not based on responses) using Random Integer Generator and will be announced Tuesday morning.

I enjoyed reading everyone’s answers!!! From redoing floors to gardening to just getting organized, many of you have all sorts of home projects planned this year! How exciting! I’ll be sure to offer the Home Depot gift card again in my next giveaway.
Here are some unusually cute responses:
My goal is to train hop across America this summer! – Heather
My goal is to do my best to “will” the Chicago Cubs into a World Series Championship this year. There is no more noble a cause. I would like to celebrate the Cubs’ victory by building an exact replica of the World Series trophy, with the help of Home Depot. – Robert George
My goal? To craft more and make a dreadlock wig! – Jessica
My goal is to get drafted to a local team with my roller derby league, the Arch Rival Roller Girls. – Jenn Miller
So, to conclude, 2009 is the year of the Packrat and my goal is to oust him from my life. – Michelle
To get my email inbox of nearly 8000 unread messages to under 500 messages. – Emily N.
I would like to win the Home Depot Car!
My goal for this year are:
to loose weight & make healtier meals for my fmaily.
Fix the damage to my home caused by hurricane Ike.
Be more active in helping other is my community.
Try to live a clean Christian life.
Enter lots of sweeps & make some new friends.
My biggest goal is to be more patient with my children and appreciative of their good qualities (honest, loving, kind, fun) instead of always nagging and complaining about things that are not quite so good (back talk, messiness, procrastination, etc).
Starbucks is a family favorite, so that would have to be my pick.
One goal of mine is to keep up with my grades which shouldn’t be too hard since it all comes naturally anyway. But I do want to rank even higher than I already do. I’m determined to become a better person as a whole and act like more of a role model.
I would like to try to finish painting and decorating my daughter’s bedroom. We have the walls done but need to do the trim work which is not my favorite part. If I won, I would love the Barnes and Noble gift card! Thanks for a great giveaway!
My goal this year is to pay off my car! I can’t wait to not have to pay a car payment! I can then apply that monthly amt to my other bills. I would choose the barnes and noble gift card because I would love to pick out a couple nice books. Thanks!
I’m a poet/artist/journalist, and this year I hope to publish more and exhibit more artwork in galleries. I’d love a PF Chang card (my niece LOVES to eat there!) or a Barnes and Noble card,
because I can never buy enough books!
My plan for this year is to replace the carpet in our bathroom, my cat whom I’ve had for 12 years had to undergo expensive radioactive iodine therapy for a hyperthyroid, she lived for one year after she was treated and she recently had to be euthanized when her kidneys failed. She had a great difficulty using her litter box as her kidneys were failing and had soiled much of the bathroom carpet, I hope to be able to have the carpet replaced from Home Depot. Thankyou for holding this nice contest
Now that I’ve started a new job I want to make a serious commitment to my company and go all out to impress my boss.
I’m a caffeine girl but P.F. Chang’s for dinner has won me over.
my husband and i want to build a gazebo in our yard this summer so i would go with the home depot 🙂
One of my goals is to make healthy changes in my daily routine. And I’d like the Starbucks card.
My goal is to get my 2yr old son potty trained:O
I would choose the home depot or footlocker!

This year I want to lose 10 pounds and help my 4, going on 5 year old learn how to read. I would choose the Home Depot gift card.
Goal #1 is to organize my home…room by room…no matter how long it takes.
Goal #2 is to cover my cement patio with some decorative pavers and start a container garden to give it a new look for Spring/Summer.
Goal #3 is to walk 30 minutes or more outside every day…solely for the purpose of enjoying my surroundings.
