And it's a good thing I have something to give you! One of the very first giveaway copies of my new book Not My Type! Whoohoo!
It's super easy to win.
1. Become a follower of this blog
2. Leave a comment telling me one thing you're thankful for
Why option #2? Well, Not My Type is about a hardheaded girl named Pepper who is forced to write a thank you note every week as sort of a "life therapy," and so she does it . . . with a grumble. But the thank you notes work an interesting magic and before she knows it, she's in the middle of a brand new life adventure even though she was sure she was over the hill at twenty-three. (You can read the first chapter HERE). Since each chapter opens with a thank you note, I thought it would be fun for everyone to drop off their thank yous, silly or serious, here in the comment box. Voila, you're entered. Suh-weet.
This blog hop runs through Wednesday night at midnight, so be sure to enter before then! The winner will be notified by e-mail.
Now that you've entered my contest, come meet all my other blog friends and see what fun things they are offering!

I'm a follower and I'm thankful that the hottest week of this summer so far is over!! LOL
You know I follow you already...and have enjoyed it so much :) I'm thankful for my brain, that I have the wisdom to chose what is right..sounds kind of cheesy I know..but that's how I feel today!

I am thankful for all my friends who were there for me when I was going through a really bad patch a fewyears ago.

That's a really cool idea for a book. I think more people need to spend time considering what they have to be thankful for, rather than complaining. It's great to see a book that illustrates that! :D
Personally, I'm thankful for my wife, my home, and my job. Sure, I want to be a full-time writer, but life is a lot better than it was five years ago, and it's going to get better, still :)
Dear Mother Nature,
Thank you for not injuring my family and friends during hurricane Irene.

Dear Body,
Thank you for not failing me and crossing over that finish line at the triathlon this weekend. I know I put you through some rough times over the past year as we trained together for this first-time event, but it was worth it!

Dear Melanie -
Today, I'm grateful that it was only the electrical socket that blew out . . . and not my microwave and computer. How horrid would that have been? No zap for the food and no instant communication with my friends. Alas, disaster was avoided.
I followed your blog. And by the way - your website is total awesomeness!!! Love it! Big hugs to start off your day.
Your cyber friend,
Danyelle
PS - I accidentally put this on the blog post below this one too. Oopsie # 27 for the day. =)
This is so fun :) I would love to read your book!
I'm thankful for the changing seasons. I'm always ready for the change and I love that it reminds me of the ever moving pace of life. I think I'm a little giddy for fall :)

Today I am thankful that the kids are finally starting school. Now I can get to all the things that were left undone over the summer.

Oh man!! I can't believe I missed this! How does your blog not show up in my reader? And why is my picture not in the box over there? So weird. I don't get the new (?) Google follower thing.
I know I'm not entering, but I'm grateful that one day I will understand about that follow thing and will stop wondering why it signs into a different account (and shows a different picture of mine) every time I click to follow someone. So grateful.
