Today when I made a deposit at a Wells Fargo ATM, up popped a message about our Someday Stories^SM promotion, which runs through July 25.

Now, I realize should've brought this cool contest to your attention earlier, so my apologies. You've only got a few days left to enter!

The Someday Story^SM contest is all about you and your someday. Someday you'll go to medical school, someday you'll pay off your student loans and start that nonprofit organization you've been dreaming of — you get the idea. All you have to do is tell us the true and aspiring story of your "Someday" dream, and your winnings could help make it real.

Here's how it works:

Share with us your Someday Story hopes for a chance to win $100,000. Each week a story will be selected to win $1,000 as "The Story of the Week." On September 17, we'll narrow the submissions to the top five, whose story will be filmed for the website. Once the videos are up, it's in the hands of the visitors to the website who will vote for their favorite story.

Visitors to the site also will get to vote for one of three worthy causes — Boys & Girls Clubs of America , Habitat for Humanity , and Junior Achievement  — to give them a chance to win too. Wells Fargo will donate up to $250,000 for the cause that gets the most votes.

Check out the contest rules for all the necessary legalese, including how to enter online or by mail.

Calling all closet performers, The Music Man  fans, and karaoke lovers: The Wells Fargo wagon is a-coming down the street!

Only a week remains for you to enter our Center Stage in the Rose Parade®  music video contest! Make your own video for the "Wells Fargo Wagon" song, and you could win the grand prize — to have an excerpt of your winning video air during the television broadcast of the 2008 Rose Parade®. Here are the official rules .

Take a look at the competition and get your entries in today. Not feeling creative enough to make your own video? Vote for your favorite entry instead!

Separately, you also can enter the 2008 Rose Parade® Sweepstakes, where the grand prize includes a ride in the Wells Fargo stagecoach during the Rose Parade®, Rose Bowl Game® tickets, hotel accommodations, and air transportation provided by American Airlines® from any American Airlines® destination to Los Angeles. Check out the complete set of prizes and sweepstakes rules. I've been to the Rose Parade once — my sister's high school marching band was invited to perform in 1998 — and it was definitely worth the trip!

PS: If the "Wells Fargo Wagon" song is permanently stuck in your head now, I'm sorry. I sing it in my sleep!

I have some great news to share: We just launched our Wells Fargo College Scholarship Sweepstakes, which means we're giving away money for tuition!
