August Blogging Challenge: Day 6...

"El Chavo" Prize Pack Giveaway...

Earlier this summer JAKK Pacific toys announced that they would be releasing a new line of "El Chavo" toys starting the 15th of this month and guess who has been given an opportunity to give some away! This librarian!

I was super excited when presented with the opportunity to do this giveaway because "El Chavo" is such an iconic character, members of my family watched and still watch reruns of this show (Even Erin has watched it!) and it's a great way introduce a character to you guys that you might not have ever heard of.

For those of you that aren't familiar "El Chavo del Ocho" or "El Chavo" is a Mexican sitcom that started back in 1972 centered around a poor orphan boy named El Chavo and his neighbors in the housing complex they live in. It started out a live action show and has since spawned an animated series entitled "El Chavo Animado" (2006-Present) -- Two of the seasons are currently dubbed into English. Seeing has the show has been on for 40+ years and I could go on forever writing about it, so here is a little video introduction...
Now lets get on to the fun stuff! One (1) lucky winner will receive a prize pack with the following...

"El Chavo" Prize Pack*
- One (1) Mini Plush Doll - $4.99
- One (1) PVC Figure - $9.99
- One (1) set of Finger Puppets - $7.99
- One (1) Chavo Hat - 7.99

This is your standard Rafflecopter type giveaway, as all of mine normally are. Being a Bloglovin' follower to this blog and leaving a comment below about your memories of "El Chavo", favorite "El Chavo" quote or if this is the first time you've ever head of "El Chavo" are mandatory and gain you two entries. If you wanna do everything else specified in box below you will just get more chances to win!

* I'm not exactly sure which Mini Plush Doll or PVC Figure you'll be getting but I'd assume it'll be El Chavo himself.

What Is The Worst Advice You've Ever Received?
I've been thinking about this prompt for the past three days and I honestly cannot think of the worst advice I've ever received. I kinda only half listen to people and do what I want so I guess that is why nothing comes to mind. Sorry.

Friday's Letters...

Dear Department Head: Why did you leave me here alone with "Julia" and "Amy" today? Is this my punishment for evoking my right to personal leave last week? Why do you hate me?!?!!

Dear July: Where did you go? I feel like we only spent a brief period of time together. C'est la vie. Until 2014!

Dear Liz: I can't wait to see you on Sunday and spend the day at the beach with you!!

Dear Library Thermostat: Why are you so moody? You're so hot and cold. Chill out.

Dear "Marie": Thank you for texting me a picture of the volunteer's sign up sheet who wrote that they hated "Julia" all over it. It made me chuckle.*

Dear Kids Who Broke The Library Elevator: What?! Why?! How?! What the hell were you doing that you broke the library elevator and got another kid stuck inside of it?!!**

Dear Mexico: Thank you for your 100% sugar filled soda.

Dear "Julia": Stay away from my teen volunteer! She is working on a project for me! Don't you have enough teen volunteers that hate you and probably the library now too?! Stay away!

Dear Readers: As always, you are amazing. Have a great weekend!

* Apparently a volunteer who isn't getting along so well with "Julia" wrote that they hate her all over their sign in sheet. It is some big issue and I honestly don't know how I missed any of this happening yesterday because I was very much so at work all day. Hmmm...

** This was another thing I missed yesterday but it happened after I left at 5:00pm.

I love this song and I'm honestly surprised how long it took me to post it as a 'Stuck In My Head' song.
