Summer, in all its glory, is slipping through my fingertips. Sun rays slide down my window pane leaving me to wonder when is too soon to put away that tankini and those sarongs I’m so fond of wearing.
Tomorrow is my first day back at work as Big Important Assistant Principal (I resisted the urge to write Big Important Ass because I’m a grown up). I will long for warm sun rays and ice cold lemonade as I sit in a new air conditioned office waiting to welcome students, parents, and teachers as we usher in a new school year. Missing the eccentricities and fragrant fruit and flowers at my local Farmer’s Market (as well as the all the characters you meet there). My hope for waking up late and turning on the news as I enjoy a delicious daybreak cup of coffee will end and be replaced by either getting a pot of coffee started as I style my hair or rushing into a drive-through coffee hut. All of my favorite things of the summer are leaving me to do the very hard work of educators.
What better reason to giveaway a Prize Pack full of what I’ve come to cherish this oh-so-wonderful Summer of ’08?
Giveaway #1: A copy of Beverly Donofrio’s book which I read this summer and related to so well that I actually started writing my own memoir of being a teen mom.
Giveaway #2: Some goodies from the extra crap I carted home from The People’s Party. JUST FOR YOU. Ok, so I really liked some of the things in there and donated the rest, but I have $20 in gift cards to Land’s End. They’re currently having a sale which is one of my favorite things NO MATTER WHAT TIME OF YEAR.
Giveaway #3: Being such a Shoe Lover I have also become somewhat of a Foot Worshipper in that I must take care of my tootsies by using insoles and such. But this year I found Dr. Scholl’s Rub Relief Strips to be my dearest friend. The small design of the packaging makes it easy for travel as well.
Giveaway #4: Coffee is always in fashion. How’s about a $20 gift card to a big giant conglomerate?
Giveaway #5: Sometimes I wish I were smart enough to find out what the demographics of this site are to see what kind of people read it. Are you exercise gurus? Vegans who secretly like to add chicken broth to your mashed potatoes? Clown college graduates hoping to recruit me? With that said, I think mostly women read me though I know of several male bloggers (and a few male readers in general) who visit as well. Still, a Bath & Body Works certificate in the amount of $20 is a nice prize.
Leave a comment in this post until Friday August 1, 2008 at midnight (or email me directly if you’re having trouble or you’re JUST THAT DIFFICULT and no, I won’t hold that against you in the random drawing) to be entered.
Best of luck! To both the winner and to me. I might need it more than you.
*Edited to add that this Giveaway is linked to Bloggy Giveaways*

Great assortment of giveaways. Thanks.
I’m really excited! I’ve just read through about a year of your blog entries! Yeah, I have insomnia! And I thought where has this woman been that I haven’t discovered her? I don’t care if I win a prize, I’m just so glad I found your blog! I too am a mocha mommie, to a 29 year old and a 13 year old, don’t ask! I will be adding you to my blogsite (www.indigeneartforms.blogspot.com) as well. Well, after I get some sleep! Anyhow! Keep on writing…I love it!
Wow, great giveaways! Count me in!
Thanks for the chance to win. All of these are great prizes!
Wow! Great prizes!
Love it!
Great prizes! Hope I win one! I loved the movie Riding in Cars With Boys, but I’m sure the book is alot different!
Oh, okay, fine. I’ll enter for the possibility of free stuff. But only because you asked nicely. Also, because Bath and Body Works calls to me with a siren song and there’s a reason I usually smell nice. Usually. Not today, per se. Today I smell like sweat and estrogen and coffee. Also I might carry faint aroma of “sick child” on me, but just the green snotty kind, thankfully, and not the vomit kind.
Man, you come up with good prizes. I think I might need to scrape together a few things for a giveaway. I’ve been cleaning out closets and boxes of books. Is it bad form to give away “non-new” stuff? Gently used stuff? Stuff that smells better than me, at least?
Great stuff.

Nice selection of giveaways. Although today I am very partial to anything with caffeine since I only got 4 hours of sleep last night.
T with Honeys last blog post..Same sign, completely different message
I lurk, therefore I am.
I wasn’t going to post just to get the giveaways, because I never win anything anyway. So you can’t even assume that ALL of your lurkers will come out. But it would be lovely to win. Just not likely.
So anyway, Hi, and I love your blog.
