Believe it or not I've already started entering the contests listed for this closing date.  I think there were only 780 so far.  I will probably check off the 30th and January 1 too.   

Sounds like a good ides but where do you find them listed? 

Right, I found the expiring sweeps for 12/31/2009. But they are not categorized according to type so I guess you have to go through all of them. I usually only enter one entries on expiring sweeps. I'm a bit lazy and want all the hard work done for me. LOL. Thanks for the info.
