I have a billion things to do, just like YOU, so what are you doing here? I think it might have something to do with the fact that I am in your reader or dashboard because you are kind and generous and took pity on me and added me to one or more of said features but the facts are this: 1) I wrote a post today and 2) I did it so you would come to my blog so I wouldn’t have a blue Christmas from crashing and burning blog stats and 3) I have absolutely no time to write anything whatsoever YET I wanted you to come anyway. I’m selfish like that.
So, since you came, here are a few links to some items of interest I would like to bring to your attention.
1) (there I go with the numbers again) ldspublisher is still having a giveaway for a signed copy of Miss Delacourt Speaks Her Mind through the end of the month. Since I am the one who will be mailing it to the winner, I can write anything you (yes, you, but only if you enter) like inside those covers, such as, To My Most Brilliant Friend Who Ever Lived (or whatever warms the cockles of your heart).
2) There is another contest going on where-in one of the 12 available prizes will be an Amazon gift card (which you can use to buy a copy of Miss D--or not--as per your deepest darkest desires) as well as lots of other great books and a handpainted mailbox. Go here for the details.
4) Kazzy of Kazzy’s Ponderings has a gorgeous rendering of one of my favorite songs here. (Just go!)
5) Someone who shall remain nameless (but is a certain English professor at a certain LDS school in Hawaii) has posted photos of people who are clothing-challenged and lounging on the beach from her most recent vacation risking her job and reputation in one fell swoop. This is not why I want you to go there. The reason I want you to go there is b/c amongst this detritus (well-photographed and censored detritus, but detritus, nonetheless) there is, as usual, plenty of brilliant writing. Some of it has to do with Miss D.
Lastly, please remember, I’ll have a blue Christmas without you!! (And yes, I mean you!)
