BONUS POST: CONTEST AND PRIZE!!

Hey! I just realized that with the baby coming any day(or week....:)now, that it would be super opportune to have a contest and giveaway!

SO! Here it goes:

CONTEST!!!!  Guess when this baby girl is gonna make her appearence, put the date down there in the comments and if you are right then you win! I think in honor of my recent educational pursuits the prize will be a Barnes and Nobles gift card! I do not love that store, in fact, everytime I go there I just go straight to the info desk and ask where my book is.  It is SO DISORGANIZED THERE! But I digress....anyways, go ahead and guess!  Here is perhaps some helpful info, her blessing date has been set for the 12th of August, so hopefully she will be born by then.<---in case you need some kind of due date for reference....:)

RANDOM NOTE: This is the book BJ is reading to me lately.  It is, in my opinion, Dorothy L. Sayer's BEST work of detective fiction.:)  It is best after you read the first three Lord Peter and Harriet Vane books, and I must warn it has a bit of scandal(it takes place on their honeymoon, but let me tell you, it is TAME and way more ginormously appropriate compared to nasty TWILIGHT.:). WHAT I LOVE about this particular work is how Dorothy L. Sayers is so BRILLIANT in character revelation.  It can't even be called character development.  It is really character revelation.  The way she REVEALS the innards of her characters is AMAZING(and I am not talking about the murder mystery part;).  So much truth about human nature is contained here.  Such a good read.:) Random, but I will end this post with this favorite book.:)

    1. I bet the library has it for sure too. And even though in total it is about 1000 pages of reading, do read the first three first(Strong Poison, Have His Carcase, and Gaudy Night). It makes the pay off for the fourth SO MUCH BETTER and more relevant.:) Though, the fourth is awesome on its own as well.:) There are really good movie versions of the first three too, but beware there is a painting scene in the first one containing boobs! Dang boobs, we would totally own those flicks if it didn't have that scene!

  3. July 27th. :) Good luck! One cool suggestion I heard is to schedule a pampering activity each day from now or whenever til baby comes. That way you have something different to look forward to each day (it could be anything from a pedicure to a quiet reading time to a treat you've been craving). Let me know if you want me to take the kids ever so you can have a break to rest or whatever. :)

    1. I am sure you can guess my feelings about the 25th as a number. I mean, my FAVORITE NUMBER IS 5! And twenty five is like five times five.:) The 25th is a great day to have the baby.:) Really, anyday is good at this point though...:)

  6. Okay - Pioneer Day came and went and the baby decided to stay put. Clair said I could guess again, so I'm saying August 6th - Megan's birthday.
