Winners!
I love this part.
You know, this is one of my favorite things to do. Announce the winners. It makes me feel all tingly inside.
What's that you say, Chicklets? You don't care how it makes me feel? Just get to the announcing, already? Am I understanding you right?
Oh. Okay. Well, fine then. Just click on the link, antsy pants.
Prize: The Whitney Gaskell Prize Pack: Signed copies of She, Myself & I and True Love (And Other LIes).
Winner: Beverly Rampe of Tamarac, Florida!!!!
Congratulations, Beverly!!! Did you know that Buffy is a derivative of Beverly? Are you a fan? If not, you should be.
Sorry. Sometimes I get a little carried away with the Joss-love. Moving on...
Prize: The Alesia Holliday Prize Pack: Signed copies of American Idle, Nice Girls Finish First, Blondes Have More Felons, Shop Till Yule Drop and The Naked Truth.
Winner: Christina Triantafillou of Stoddard, New Hampshire!!!!
Wow. I'm so tempted to break out in, "Go Christina! It's your birthday! We're gonna party like it's your birthday!" but after thinking it over, I decided that would be lame.
(Look, it's six o'clock in the freakin' morning. These are the jokes you get. Deal.)
The Beth Kendrick/Killian Prize Pack: Signed copies of My Favorite Mistake, Fashionably Late, and the first book from her young adult 310 series (writing as Beth Killian), Life As a Poser.
Winner: Zaz La Marr of Sonoma, California!!!!
Yay for Zaz! Wow. "Yay for Zaz" almost sounds Dr. Seuss-ish, doesn't it? I wonder if she's related? Well, If Zaz's pizazz is full of razzmatazz and just a hint of jazz, we'll know for sure.
The Eileen Rendahl Prize Pack: Signed copies of Do Me, Do My Roots, Balancing in High Heels, and Un-Bridaled.
Winner: Jennifer Jacula of Elk Point, Alberta!!!
(Elk Point is in Canada, folks. Where we'll all be moving when Armageddon hits. Which, according to my chart... was yesterday.) Yay, Jennifer!!! Can we stay with you?
The Michelle Cunnah Prize Pack: Signed copies of 32AA, Call Waiting and Confessions of a Serial Dater.
Winner: Jennifer Connor of Morton, Pennsylvania!!!
Wahoo!!! Now, I want you to find a way to seamlessly work in "razzmatazz" into everyday conversation. There's no prize for that, but it'll entertain you while you wait for the package to arrive.
The Lani Diane Rich Prize Pack: Signed copies of Time Off for Good Behavior, Ex and the Single Girl, Maybe Baby and The Comeback Kiss.
Winner: Kristie Cholewa of Warren, Michigan!
Yay, Kristie!! You can dance if you want to. You can leave your friends behind. 'Cuz your friends don't dance and if they don't dance, well... they're no friends of mine.
Okay! Congratulations winners!!!! It was so much fun, and thanks to everyone who wrote in supporting my usage of the word "ginormous." Also, thanks to everyone who gushed endlessly about how great we are in your entries. It doesn't help your chances - the selection of winners is totally random and supervised by accountants from the firm of Crowley, Haagen Dazs, and Cheeto. (Sorry. That's obviously a joke. I got all those names from my kitchen. By the way, how cool is the spelling of Haagen Dazs? Very cool.) But, yeah, it is totally random. The gushing, however, is still deeply appreciated. Keep it up. We're writers. We are shamelessly insecure and dependent on others for our self-worth. It ain't pretty, but it's the truth.
And don't forget to check back tomorrow to find out who the winner is of the mini-contest I'm holding on the side. There's still time to enter that one. Gushing is allowed there, too.
Gushing is always allowed. :)

Wahoo! I'm a wiener, uh, winner. Yes, that's right, a WINNER! Thank you, thank you. I'm really looking forward to this because I've never read any of Beth's book. Thank you, Beth for all the goodies.

You can TOTALLY stay with me - I have lots of room! Thanks so much for choosing me!
In other news ... I actually heard "ginormous" in a radio ad the other day and thought of the LC. If it's on the radio, it MUST be a real word ... right?
Sending you all lots of slobbery love (hey, I have a 4.5 month old DD - caitiebug.com - that's the kind of love you get) from Canada!

Wow, I won, I won, I won. Oh oh, dizzy, fall down. I was "floored" to see me name right at the top. Sorry bad pun. Thanks a lot everybody.
I am a Buffy fan, but I did not know that Buffy was a derivative of my name.
