Book Giveaway Winner

Thanks to everyone who participated in my book giveaway for my 600th post. I appreciate your kind words and support. So, without further ado,

number 36, which is Nancy of Nancy's Nonsense. Congratulations, Nancy. I know you will enjoy reading Just Jane. This is the time stamp. Timestamp: 2009-04-11 00:06:15 UTC


In other news, Brandon called after school on Thursday to see if he could come and stay the night. Jordan was going to stay over at a friend's house. I picked up Brandon and he was a great help. He played with Dakota and kept him busy. My legs were giving me a lot of pain and Brandon was a great help. We went to return a pair of jeans I'd purchased a couple of weeks ago and the place was packed. Not only were people looking for Easter items, but it was Midnight Madness and it was a mad house.

Then we looked at the Buy and Sell Shop. Brandon likes to look for games there. He buys used ones that are in good condition and he found one that he liked. $10, which is a far cry for the $60 they want for new games.

Then we stopped in at the pet store and he bought Dakota a little squeaky hedgehog for Easter. Dakota loved it and Brandon and the pup had a lot of fun playing with it. Brandon would throw it and Dakota would run, pick it up and then bring it back. The only problem is, he hates to leave go of it once it's in his mouth, but he's learning.

Brandon went home about 3pm today and by that time I was bushed. I took some Tylen*ol and laid down to read for a bit. It was nice to relax with a good book.

I wish all of my friends and readers a Happy Easter. The graphic above is a little gift from me to you. Feel free to take a copy for your sidebar. ~Blessings, Mary~

  2. Oh, my gosh, Mary, I cannot believe it! This is the first time I have ever won a giveaway! Thank you so much!!! I need to make the time and just sit back and enjoy reading it now! And I promise you, I will do just that!

    How sweet of Brandon to buy Dakota a new toy! Puppies are so much fun! And yes, that Great Dane was huge!!! There was a little 2-year-old girl here in our city who was mauled to death by 2 of those big dogs! It was pretty bad...on TV and everything. Beautiful little girl, too. The dogs were seized by Animal Control...they were mean dogs to begin with, and the little girl wandered over to their pen and opened it and went inside...

    Sorry to hear that your knees are still bothering you. I have trouble with mine at times, too. And no, I don't get down on my knees when I lay the tile...I stand and bend over at the waist and that's why my back is killing me. LOL

    You new Easter button is adorable! I will happily give it a home on my sidebar! Thank you for it, also!

    I'd better get to bed now as I have another long day ahead of me tomorrow, too.

    Thanks again and Happy Easter to you and yours!!!

    ((( HUGS )))

    Mary, I had my first chat on facebook yesterday. I caught up with a cousin, found out she lives not too far away and works even closer.
