So, on to the important stuff...


I feel much better today than I did yesterday, perhaps because of my stop at Target this morning for some shopping therapy. I found some cute stuff for my first ever blog giveaway. It was all I could do though, not to put everything back when I saw a whole slew of Stephanie Meyer's books on an endcap. I was sooooo tempted to buy all of them for little ol' me. But, I did not succumb to temptation.


So, without further ado, here is the giveaway....

Here are a few of my favorite things....

• a pack of notecards- i love stationary
• a sweet headband, for those bad hair days
• Pink Paradise body mist and body lotion.
• IceBreakers Pomegranate lemon-aid mints (I love these little guys)

So, here are the rules:

1. leave me a comment in order to enter.
2. leave a shout-out on your blog about the give-away, and you'll receive an extra entry. Just let me know so I don't miss it.
