The winner is Claire! Congrats, Claire!

I haven’t yet done a full review on The Help but it is by far my favorite novel of the year.  The storyline was unique, the characters and setting were rich, the dialogue brilliant.  I am a little more than ecstatic that we are going to a screening of the movie next Monday.  It’s actually our 13th wedding anniversary and I signed us RIGHT UP for the tickets when I got the email because I just know it’s going to be a fantastic way to spend the evening.

Today I have an awesome opportunity to give Y”ALL some good stuff!  Here’s what’s included:

– THE HELP t-shirt in adult female sizes of S, M, L, XL

– THE HELP pocket jotter & pen

– THE HELP fan

– THE HELP nail file/mirror

If you’d like to win this, just leave a comment telling me your favorite character of the book.  Or if you haven’t seen it, your favorite Southern dish.  I’ll be closing the giveaway next Wednesday.  If you haven’t seen a trailer yet, check it out below.

I’m just going to be honest.  Today is one of those days I wish I were in the office.  The dog woke me up after climbing over a fence he wasn’t supposed to climb over.  I had to feed 3 little girls breakfast quickly before logging in.  Things weren’t going well for work.  I had 5 hours worth of conference calls.  I was making glasses of chocolate milk and ice water hourly while watching the already towering stack of dishes grow.  I supervised play doh, Barbie time, face paint, dress up and swim time all while doing this.  Did I mention I didn’t get dressed for the day until lunch time?  It’s just one of those horrendously busy work-at-home days that I just happened to also be a day I didn’t have a sitter and I can’t help but look forward to tomorrow’s day at the office. 

We know the truth of the matter is I’d rather have an awful day at home than have to go in the office but whew.  These days can knock a girl out.
