** IMPORTANT UPDATE **
I’m so impressed with the response to my book giveaway–thank you for your interest and great comments! I’ve decided to accept entries until 4:00 p.m. this Saturday, February 2. I’ll hold the drawing shortly thereafter.

How was your Monday? Was it really so miserable that nobody had anything fun to share?

Of course, I understand that springing it on you late in the day like I did may have caught you off guard. And I also understand if life just isn’t very fun for you. I’m very sorry if you couldn’t even smile about something yesterday. Here–this is for you:

And if you just forgot to smile or laugh yesterday, or nothing was really very funny, then this card is for you.

What I suspect, however, is that many of you were actually having a ton of fun exploring the many Bloggy Giveaway offerings popping up all over blogdom.

And so today, because I forgot to do it yesterday while I was so busy laughing and doodling and figuring out Mr. Linky, I’m posting my own little Bloggy Giveaway. It’s a repeat of last season’s:

Your very own copy of my book, The Contemplative Mom. You can enjoy it yourself or wrap it up as a gift for the weary and heavy-laden mom in your life.

This is open to all readers, not just stateside, as I know that some of my Internet friends log on from overseas. I’ll probably choose media mail to ship it, because I’m not only contemplative; I’m also kind of cheap.

The winner will be drawn sometime this weekend. I haven’t decided precisely when. I’ll come back and update this post when we get closer and let you know the time and day.

Enter by leaving a comment (include an e-mail or some means of contacting you). Be sure to add some thought (could be fun, creative, deep, or contemplative) to your comment instead of just typing out your name and contact information; it makes the whole process so much more, well, fun.

I’ll select a number randomly to determine the winner.

I hope your Tuesday is a fun day, too. If it isn’t, it will be after you view some of the cute (and free) and creative items people are offering, so head on over and check it out.
