Are you wondering when I am going to announce the winner of the Paula Deen cookbook? 
With the autograph? .jpg)
Would now be a good time? I can always do it later if you are too busy today. Okay, okay...if you insist. Drum roll please...
After counting the entries. And submitting them to the random number site place thing...our winner is...
Michelle at Honest and Truly!
And now, can I get another drum roll?! Because I have not one...but TWO autographed books.
And the second winner is: Jane from Jumpin' in the Jungle!
Congrats ladies. Just email me with your addresses and I'll get your books right out to you.

Congrats Michelle and Jane!! :)
What's on August 10th?
I want to lose weight easily too! Or better yet, just be magically thin. :)
LOVE love, big love! Margene is my favourite. :) And Hubby wants me to say he thinks she's hot. LOL
Come visit Cairo adn you guys can stay with me!! :) We just had the a/c fixed so you won't melt too much. :)
Love the list. Can't wait for Estrogen extravaganza.
Sad I didn't win.
Oh, well.
Glad you're having contests again, even if I never win.
That was NOT the deal Katrina. It was me that was supposed to win.
Oh fiddle sticks!
Congratulations Michelle and Janey!
You can actually visit alot of places when you go to Vegas -
Paris, New York New York, Italy etc...
me? I visit casinos and (hopefully) cashiers windows.
Hey I'm working on the Vegas thing. I had hoped that nagging would have worked by now but no such luck.
The 4th season of Weeds is on it's way to me right now. This makes me very happy.
And I like the new lists...it gives me ideas on what books to pick up!
Congrats to the winner!!
I am so curious about August 10th and Estrogen Weekend?
Ohh, and next week sounds fabulous with both girls gone to camp! Enjoy, but try not to miss them to much!
Kat, have I mentioned that I love you? I am SO excited, thank you! Email to you with my address is on its way. Yayyyyy!
And when you go to Vegas, eat at Yellowtail in Bellagio. Trust me. And see Le Reve. Of all the Cirque type shows there right now, this is by far the best. Even jaded me loved it. And ummm if you need any other Vegas tips or want any info or me to look into anything when I'm there a week from Friday, let me know ;)
Congrats to the lucky winners!
Ohhh, another True Blood fan! Only I don't have HBO. I just watched the first season, because it's out on DVD. I've read all the books, except for the last one and I picked that up at the store yesterday - oh yeah!
This reminds me... I have yet to order tickets to see Paula! Gah! I better get on that tonight...
And whatever you're doing... keep doing it, 'cause I think I've almost got him convinced!
I can't wait for EE '09, either. November is going to be a good month!
What's August 10th?
Congrats to the winners!!!
I can help you with the Photoshop thing. Okay, the lite version...trust me, that's all you need.
And as for exercise, this chick is now up to 7 miles walking. Me. Believe it. Just put on those walking shoes and hit the pavement. One step at a time. I LOVE this time all by myself.
Congrats to the winners- Katrina read this one next. It is really really good!
3. Lover Avenged by JR Ward
:)
Jeanine
Way to go ladies! Congrats on stealing my cookbook! No, really, really, congrats!
What, no wanna visit Houston on the list? Ah, the humidity, the mosquitoes. Don't know what you're missing!
You had TWO autographed Paula Dean cookbooks? Those lucky ducks. I really enjoyed reading your lists.
OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I actually just jumped in my seat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOO-HOO For ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yay! I love lists--I'll do this over the weekend when i have time to ponder.
I"m guessing August 10th is when the kids go back to school. or when swim practice ends. but in GA, it's probably the former...
you have a lot of travel coming up--yay!
Great list! I also wish I could lose weight easily, preferrably overnight!
Boooooo! I should have won! DANGIT!
I'm such a sore loser.
I got tagged and have no idea when I'll do it. One of these days, I guess!
ESTROGEN IN NOVEMBER, baby! Woooooooo! We are so going to Hard Rock. And joshing with all the radical people who word there. Ain't a plain Jane in that bunch. They will so love us.
Oh..and hello...Vegas in October. Good times. We're gonna have good times.
Let's not discuss Season 3 of The Tudors. Eh. It was just "eh." With the exception of more screentime for Henry Cavill. Whom I adore. Amen.
NO! Don't talk Shannon into that! LOL We are talking about ditching our menfolk and being Vegas roomies! LOL
My friend tagged me for this and I'm working on it now! Good stuff!
Yes, August 10 cannot get here soon enough. LOL Sounds like you have some fabulous trips planned. YAY
Did I read that right that both girls have scoliosis? I'm sorry to hear that. :o(
