Mother’s Day eReader Giveaway!

Guys….today is a very special day.

Remember when I reviewed the book How to Love an American Man on the blog last November? I LOVED that book and have actually re-read it twice since.  Since then, the lovely author, Kristine Gasbarre, and I have formed a sweet and wonderful friendship. If you’ve read her book, let me assure you that Krissy is just as sweet and genuine as she comes off on the page. She was even kind enough to read an advanced copy of my own book and write a blurb for the back cover!

So, about a week ago, Krissy contacted me with a fun and unique idea. She asked me if I would be interested in hosting a giveaway for her! She had the thoughtful idea of giving away two Barnes and Noble Simple Touch Glow Nooks already pre-loaded with her book, How to Love an American Man, for Mother’s Day. How fun is that?!

The winner of this giveaway will receive two Nook eReaders—-one for you to keep and one to give to your mom, grandma, aunt, sister or whoever you choose to celebrate Mother’s Day with.

Winner will be chosen at random Friday night at 10pm PST. To enter, just leave a comment on this post telling me how your day is going! I’m still home sick but looking forward to being cheered up by reading all your comments!

This giveaway is sponsored by Kristine Gasbarre. No purchase necessary to enter and win. Giveaway only open to legal residents of The United States. Eat, Live, Run is not affiliated with giveaway sponsor and, thus, is not responsible for late or lost-in-transit prizes. Winner will be chosen at random.

But I got right to work on blogging and doing some preliminary updating for some blog changes. I’m reading lots of blogs and leaving lots of comments. It would be great to win the two Nooks and if I did, I’d share it with my sister, Ele. Our Mom is gone and she lost her daughter to cancer 5 years ago. We always spend Mother’s Day together.

    My usual morning routine (the only relaxing part of my day). Breakfast (this morning I randomly wanted eggs instead of my usual oatmeal), email & blog reading. Then dragging myself away from the breakfast table to officially start my Wednesday.

  • Quixotic Magpie

    My day is going to be long and tiring, but it will be well worth it! I am running our school book fair this week, and tonight is our Family Night Event. I have a 12 hour day ahead of me surrounded by kids ten and under, but their excitment over reading is well worth the long hours I will put it in this week.

    My mom is a huge reader too, and her love of books inspired my own love of books, which has led to my current job as an elementary school library worker.

    So far, so good. It’s a little after 8am here and I got in my workout, finished breakfast and coffee, and am preparing for teaching a half day to 5th graders, followed by parent-teacher conferences the rest of the day, and attending a scholarship ceremony tonight for deserving students going off to college. Should be a rewarding day (well except for those students who didn’t do so well on their report cards!)!

  • Amy
    May 2, 2012 at 5:13 am

    My day is good! (well, morning has been good I should say) Woke up to a thunderstorm and was able to roll out of bed onto the couch to read for a while. I don’t think it could be much better!

    My husband and are are clean and now sitting at the dinner table eating breakfast. Oatmeal and an egg for me and an egg bagel sandwich for him. Went to The Black Keys concert last night so we’re draggin’ a bit but it was so worth it!

    So far, I am having a great day. I teach 8th grade, and my students are really enjoying a book that we are reading in class (The Ghost Belonged To Me). It’s a book that I read in Middle School, and I knew that they would enjoy it, as the school year begins to draw to a close. Thanks for a great giveaway!

    It’s a grey, rainy day here outside of DC, but today is a good day, because I’ll be having a new roommate, a new kitchen, and a new area of DC to explore soon. I just signed up for my first CSA with Earth Springs CSA, too, and I’m excited for all the wonderful food I’ll be receiving this summer. Enjoy your day!

  • Carrie

    My day was going wonderfully for a while. Despite the high humidity my curly hair dried well and i was actually running 15 minutes early! Then i hit road construction and they had put a stop sign at a huge intersection which turned into a game of “quien es mas macho?”.

  • Dani
    May 2, 2012 at 6:22 am

    My day is going GREAT! One week agoyesterday I lost a very close family member and was distraught. The day after my loss my husband was hospitalized. I felt like things couldn’t be worse. Yesterday my husband was discharged. I have my husband and three sons all under one roof again and I feel blessed….even on this rainy Wednesday. Family makes my world go ’round ;0)

    I can’t complain about today! I am getting my picture taken to go on the soccer roster today, I’m going to work at the praline shop, and then hopefully going on my 5 mile jog around the Battery (hoping I have the energy after I get off work). I just read that waking up to green tea helps to boost immunity and so do mushrooms in your salad!

    My day is okay so far. I’ve been going through a rough few weeks (my bf and I broke up and I’m trying to find a new place to stay and will basically be starting a new life), but I’ve found that being positive and appreciating the little things in my life that I love so much make everything better. I am a lucky girl.

      Sarah, I’m saying a prayer for you and wishing you healing and comfort. God knows what’s ahead for you, and He never steers us wrong when we open ourselves to his will. “We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the life that is waiting for us.” -E.M. Forester

    Kristine is so nice. She actually took the time to tweet me back when I commented on how much I enjoyed her book (that I read after you recommended!) This would be the perfect mothers day gift. My mom has been hinting at wanting one for a long time now. She would just LOVE IT. Hope you feel better — Michelle

    Holy crud, talk about an awesome giveaway. My day will consist of: sipping lots of coffee, working outside in this glorious weather, going to my favorite Pure Barre class, making dinner, and then READING! I’d love an e-reader to take to bed each night. Who needs a boyfriend? Ha.

How quickly these morning go!!

    I’m on day two of being home sick from work, but i’ve been able to catch up on the major backlog of shows on DVR and the pile of books on my bedside table. (silver lining) If you need a recommendation, I’m really into “These Girls” by Sarah Pekkanen. It’s been hard to put down!! It’s an easy, chick-lit read. Great if you’ve got a beach trip coming up!

  • Sharon

    Hey Jenna! My day is going pretty well so far! I completed a work out and drank a smoothie before work 🙂 quite a feat for a girl who loves her sleep. I am crossing my fingers hard on this one. My birthday always falls the day or two around mother’s day and i won’t be home to celebrate with my mom this year. It’s one of those things where you know it will be fine, but it doesn’t stop the tears from welling up a little when you realize it. Anyway my mom and I love to read so this would be a great gift for her!

I read a lot of your recommendations. Just finished “Violets of March”, excellent. You are an inspiration because I also have a passion for food and my dream is to one day own my own little European style cafe. If you have not read “Paris, My Sweet” then I highly recommend you do.

    My day is going lovely despite the rain outside. I work from home, so I get to stay in my pj’s and drink coffee instead of venturing out 🙂

    I actually read this book back in January and LOVED it. It is very similar to my current situation (the moving home, bad breakup, trying to get my life on track in my mid-late 20’s). We even both are called Kris by family members and have Italian-American families. I really connected with her story and have recommended it to other friends. This is a great giveaway!

    My day is going great so far. I got some playtime in with my baby before he conked out for his morning nap. Now I’m going to sit down and enjoy a bowl of oatmeal and read. The day would be perfect if I didn’t have an appointment at the DMV later this afternoon. Blech.

    This book was great-I downloaded it when you posted about it months ago! It’s rainy in Philadelphia (can’t always be sunny, eh?) but that just means a big, hot pot of soup for dinner-any vegetarian or seafoody suggestions? Hope you’re feeling better-a hot shower and some kitty snuggles do wonders.

    My day has been busy – I’ve been up since 6 a.m., lured my little brother (he slept over last night and is turning 12 tomorrow) with a homemade breakfast burrito with onion, turkey sausage, eggs, cheese, and a tortilla. Then we went for a lovely walk around the lake nearby where we saw geese with little babies! After that, it was time to get ready for the day, drive him to school with literally 3 minutes to spare before he would’ve been late to class, and onto work.

    So far, so good. Now all that’s left is to work the rest of the day and visit my mom who is recovering from appendicitis. *whew*

    My day has got off to a fantastic start! It’s such a small world ~ my mom was handling some business at work and it turns out, she was on the phone with a former spinning instructor of mine! He asked if she knew me and said he was thinking about me and was willing to sneak me back into the club for a class. That definitely brought a smile to my face 🙂

  • Maureen

    I just realized that, despite being a long-time reader, I’ve never left you a comment! I love your blog and have made so many of your recipes – one of my favorites is your Mediterranean Quinoa salad :-). So anyway, since I’ve never left some love before, I’ll say now thank you so much for sharing your wonderful creations! They’ve helped me expand my tastes and try new things! (also your photography never ceases to make me drool). One of these days I’m gonna invest in a cedar plank and grill some salmon, since you’ve been raving about that forever…haha

    Anyway, the past few days have been cold and dreary out here on the East coast but the sun just peeked out so my day is already looking better! I hope the weather out West is nicer, and I hope you feel better soon!

    P.S. Being a poor grad student, I’d love to win a nook for my Mom this year… but if I do somehow end up being the lucky winner, I only need one! Give the other one to someone else’s mom 🙂

Let me tell you though I’ve been so overwhelmed. I’m a senior and it’s the whole I need to find a job/study for exams/ soak in these last precious moments/ prepare for my first half marathon this Saturday. I’m stressed. But looking on the bright side because life is good 🙂

    Starting off this day with only about an hour and a half of sleep after a tough night with my 6 month old. The day is shaping up though since my 3 year old is being a sweetheart, the coffee is kicking in and the sun is shining outside. Now if the baby feels better soon and we don’t have to go to the dr’s. office, it will be a good day indeed! Hope you feel better soon too. 🙂

    I’m a Labor and Delivery Nurse and my day started off in full force right when I hit the door this morning so this is the first chance I’ve really had to sit down. Yesterday was way better just because I got to feel two little kicks from a little boy baby growing inside of me. 17 weeks and two days and I couldn’t feel more blessed!

    P.S. Totally had the sinus infection gunk the beginning of this week so I’m totally feeling ya! It’s a good time to curl up with your cat (or in my case, two cats) and let your body heal. 😉

    This may come through twice. I couldn’t tell if it was submitted before – sorry. Anyway, my day is going good except for my hotspot wifi seems to be challenged which is par for the course. It’s windy and sunny here on the edge of the Mojave and the sheep are back so I woke to the sound of the leader bell and the sound of hundreds of hooves on dirt as they passed by under my window. Hope you feel better.

    May 2, 2012 at 8:33 am

    Hi Jenna,

    First off, I love the idea of having a matching e-reader with my mom, Cindy! Neither of us have had the convenience and pleasure of one yet, and I haven’t been able to come up with a good present idea for Mother’s Day. Other than baking for her which I always do for holidays such as this.

    I am in the middle of finals at University of Miami. I am studying Creative Writing and although I LOVE to write, it isn’t quite as enjoyable with huge scary deadlines such as a 25 page portfolio due tomorrow at 10 am. I just made a ginormous iced coffee with coconut-almond milk, and although the caffeine is helping me stay alert and awake, I am not at all doing what I should be.

    Instead, I am reading your addicting blog and day dreaming about my summer in NYC! I got an internship with Sarah Copeland, author of The Newlywed Cookbook. I’ve known Sarah for a few years. (I met her at the Food Network Kitchens when I went there on my make-a-wish trip. I am a wish child/cancer survivor. She was the head baker at FN then and I got a tour and met all of my favorite chefs.) I will be helping her with the creation of her second cookbook that is due later this year. Food styling, food photography, editing, recipe development, and testing, newsletters, and social media/blog stuff. I am SO excited!

    Well there was my ramble, day is going good and I am blasting MGMT throughout my apartment while it rains outside. I am cozy, and happy. And highly caffeinated.

    xo Lily

    My day is so far going awesome! I got up and drank a smoothie and I’m about to walk my dog with a couple of my neighbors. Then it’s work, lunch and some “Poisonwood Bible”. And I have some yummy looking swiss chard for dinner.

    Hope you feel better soon!

    Hi Jenna! My day so far tastes like the peach and strawberry smoothie I had for breakfast–sweet, tangy, and refreshing. I’m a Ph.D. student and just finished my last project for the year (well, except the ongoing summer research) yesterday. So, today is my first day of summer, and it’s goooood! I’m looking forward to starting some pleasure reading (dear Lord, please vanish all academic journal articles from the face of the earth). Books for the summer: Les Mis (again), The Hunger Games trilogy, the Outlander series, and whatever else I can get my paws on. Well, not both paws. Just one paw. The other paw will be holding a margarita, whiskey sour, or tangerine mimosa. Yes. YES!

  • Leanne

    I started reading Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks (I love the books you recommend!) last night and stayed up too late so I’m a little tired today! A pretty normal day at work but got in a 5-mile run this morning so I’m off to a pretty good start.

    Hi, Jenna! Hope you feel better soon. I was up with the early birds this morning (around 5am), standing outside enjoying the warm morning and listening to the birds sing while my (ridiculous) poodle played in the early morning dew and fog. We even had a pretty sunrise and now it’s almost 80 degrees outside!

    My days got off to a wodnerful start and it’s still going great!

    Take care of yourself!

    My day is going quite well! A strong, steaming cup of coffee and big yogurt n’ fruit bowl with chia, flax, oats, and nuts were thoroughly enjoyed whilst watching the sunrise. I’ve already gotten a brisk four miler under my belt and was lucky enough to be accompanied by my two lovely dogs. Now, my workday is beginning and with it the chance to read this book and many others! I was quite disappointed when I couldn’t find How To Love An American Man at my local library, after reading your review of it, Jenna. As much as I love the feeling of an actual book, a Nook would be such a luxury! I drag around three books at a time usually. Good luck to everyone! Beautiful days all around! Also, I do apologize for my writing. I know my English sentence structure is still not the best. Something to be improved upon by more reading!

  • Anna

    I am hosting a give-a-way also on my facebook page. But I would love to enter your Nook Reader give-a-way. I have been wanting to get one for a while now. This would be a terrific prize to win!

    In my dream world, my day has consisted of snuggling up with my cats, a cozy blanket, and a long book to read. In reality, I came in to work early, had a million things go wrong, and don’t anticipate lunch for another hour or two. On the plus side, at least I can still go home tonight and do everything I wanted to anyway!

    My day is one that I need to be thankful for. If I’m a little bored, then I think it’s a blah day. It’s not blah, it’s one day of my life that has value. That’s a little self talk that I want to listen to and act on.

    That said, it’s raining and I would love to leave work and be at home reading.

    Hope you feel better.

    It’s definitely a “so far, so good” day for me! Lots left to do, but can’t complain about my progress thus far. And I’ve been listening to some Elton John in the background all morning, which of course brightens any day!

    Hi Jenna! What a sweet giveaway!! I am also sick – very sick – with no voice and a terrible chest cold (praying that I can miraculously make a full recovery in time to run Broad Street Run here in Philly by Sunday!) Hope you feel better ASAP as well <3

    Oh my gosh my day is not going well! The subway I was on this morning stalled between stations so we all had to walk to the back and climb out the last car which was thankfully still in the station we had left. That made me 15 minutes late for my doctor’s appointment (pre-surgery testing for this Monday’s wrist surgery), but that was ok because I had to wait an hour and a half to be seen anyway! Plus it’s raining and NYC is no fun in the rain. And I wore Tom’s instead of rain books because all they predicted this morning was a few showers in the afternoon!

    But I’m eating a delicious salad, actually one you turned me on to, it’s romaine and feta with a veggie burger and then siracha, tahini, and balsamic as the dressing. Look at that, that coincidence made me smile!

    My day is fantastic (although I’m sorry that you are still sick). Today, my husband and I are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary! We both took the day off and went out to breakfast, did a little shopping, planning on a relaxing afternoon and then making ourselves homemade pizza for dinner (dinner out on Saturday). Even though it’s raining in IL, it doesn’t damper our spirits, thinking how God has blessed us with 25 years (good and bad) and with a delightful daughter who is now a food blogger on her own. Life is good!

    Hi Jenna! I discovered your blog only a few days ago, but have been since enjoying reading through all of your posts! (It’s especially fun when you mention Charleston because I also graduated from CofC and still live in Charleston 🙂 I especially love your book reviews because I also read alll the time and am always looking for new books to read. How to Love an American Man sounds amazing and I have added it to my to-read list, along with quite a few of the books you have recommended. My day has been wonderful so far because I spent the afternoon by the pool starting The Bungalow by Sarah Jio. Hope you have a lovely rest of your day!

    May 2, 2012 at 12:05 pm

    Well by #1205, you must be cheered up! But I’ll put in my two cents:
    1) I LOVED THIS BOOK and i was trying to remember who had recommended it. It was YOU! :o) So – thank you. What a sweet writing voice Krissy has! I’ll look forward to hearing more from her in the future.
    2) My daughter and I were playing Cinderella and wicked step-mother (why do I always have to be the bad guy?!?!?) on our way home from dropping big brother at kindergarten and we happened upon a pile of someone’s old bridesmaid dresses with a FREE sign just laying on the side of the sidewalk. There was enough skirt in that pile to princess us up until baby girl is 20! So – we’re washing silks and taffetas today and sewing up some magical frou frou tomorrow! How’s that for cheery?

  • Stacie

    Day is going surprisingly well, considering how little I have been able to sleep the last few days. I am 24 weeks pregnant, and just can’t get comfortable to save my life. Now, as soon as I find a good position, the baby starts kicking like crazy! BAH!

    But, today has been SURPRISINGLY productive. Getting lots of things on my work to-do list crossed off. And, bonus, had a surprise lunch visit from an old friend and we went to Panera and had $2 off a You-Pick-2 on my rewards card. YAY!

    So, all in all, this is a really good day! And, a Nook eReader would be awesome for maternity leave! 🙂

    My day is going pretty well, thanks (you know it’s going to be a good one when you get in the car to drive to work and catch the very first note of “Hit Me Baby One More Time” on the radio). It’s sunny and 90 degrees in Elon and I got to have lunch with the president of the university (wine from the prez in the middle of the work day? I’ll take it!). Looking forward to cooking with a friend for dinner tonight and then taking some time to start cleaning out my closet/house to prepare for a yard sale! Sending you lots of get well wishes from NC…

    My day is going great considering I thought I’d be jetlagged…I just got back from Paris and believe it or not I thought of you and your Parisian adventure. I had been sorta complaining about all the money involved in going to this wedding in France, but I remembered those like you who love the city so and would give anything to be there! I started to appreciate the trip that much more then 🙂

    So far so good except a stinking crick (creek? Whatever word that’s supposed to be) in my neck! Have to work tonight at the hospital but I love what I do so that’s not so bad. Just got over being sick so I can lend a sympathetic shoulder to lean on. Hope you get better Jenna. Would love to give one of these to my mom- she’s a big reader and I ship books over to her (Colorado to North Carolina) monthly.

    I went back to the school where my student-teaching internship had taken place, and was able to visit with the teachers and students again. We did an art lesson with the grade 3’s (who are great little artists)! So it’s been pretty good so far! : )

    My day has been trying, but then again when don’t we have those days? To escape the craziness in my office I took a lunch time run and was rejuvenated! Don’t get me wrong, the run kicked my butt, it just gave me a clearer head to slow down and enjoy the rest of my day. That is my wish to you on your “under the weather” day today; to get well and have a clear and rejuvenating day tomorrow!

    Hi Jenna!
    I’ve been meaning to leave you a comment for a while, and today seems like the perfect day. I’m a high school English teacher and I often share your recipes with my students (when we’re not reading of course)! The freshmen are all a fan of the baked goods and desserts you create 🙂 Naturally, I also share your recipes with my mom. She and I are both avid readers so E-Readers would be wonderful to have around.
    Thanks for brightening my day and my classroom!
    – Kristina

    Hi Jenna! My day is going good, I made your detox salad for dinner and leftovers for lunch and it was delish! I went home to San Antonio and had a ton of greasy but delicious mexican food, including an entire turkey leg so I needed this detox. I might even be a bit ambitious and go for a run. 🙂

    Because of your recommendation, I too read this book over Christmas break and loved it. Best book I’ve read in a long time. I have been seriously considering buying an ebook reader and this giveaway is calling my name- and my mom’s!

    My day started out kind of rough but it ended up being much better than expected. I thoroughly believe in the law of attraction and that you attract what you feel and portray to others and the world around you. I took that with more than a grain of salt today and changed for the better. It ended up being a good day!

    I’m having a great day! I rode my bike to work and back (for the first time!), then to the library, the farmer’s market, and over to my boyfriend’s house. Now that I’m home, I’m going to start reading “Second Nature” by Michael Pollan, or “Waking up in Eden” by Lucinda Fleeson. Maybe they’d read better on a Nook? 😉 (Feel better! No one likes being sick this time of year… or ever)

    My day was wonderful. I took a much needed afternoon nap with my 7 month old baby girl today and then, my mother on a spur of the moment, came over and watched our daughter so that my husband and I could go out and enjoy dinner together! A luxury for us now! She deserves a new nook!

    Today was (or tonight, I should) was Girl’s Night! Yay! So already, as you can see – there was much to look forward to! 🙂 A night out without kids interrupting your conversation and eating warm food – heaven! Catching up with girlfriends with good food = great day!

    But I should note, there’s also something very sweet about coming home to check in on sleeping babies…they look so innocent when they’re quiet and all snuggled up!

    Always enjoy trying out recipes, thanks for sharing!

    My day is starting off slightly rainy (I am in Seattle, after all), but at least it is light in the morning when I wake up at 5:45am! I love how early it gets light and how late it stays light as we move to summer.

    My day is going excellently. This is perhaps due to the fact that I have had TWO cups of coffee, and not done any work.

    Perhaps vodka would help, and not coffee.

    Jenna, Today I have spend so much time looking at dogs from rescue web sites. I am a retired grandma, love to cook and need a friend (man’s best friend) to help fill my days. Need to take a walk each day too. But would love to win the giveaway. Never read on a Nook. ((((Hugs))))

    Cloudy here today – it’s been a good day to enjoy being lazy. I even took a mid-morning nap! My mother would love a Nook, though I bet she’d buy a bunch of gardening magazines.

    Yesterday was a little crazy! We were travelling home to Connecticut from San Francisco, but our first plane was delayed so we ended up in Chicago and eventually made it home at 3:30 this morning. Now our luggage is lost! Today will be less chaotic.

    I am having a very enlightening day. I am opening myself up to the idea that you can be healthy without counting every calorie that goes into your mouth and that sometimes being on a diet is letting food run your life just as much as having a problem with overeating. I am looking to you for inspiration as to how to LIVE my life in a healthy manner and enjoy the beauties of it without stressing out about insignificant details.

    my day is fantastic! we got a bonus ultrasound of our sweet little boy due in july and the tech even turned on the 3D to give us a profile pic of our guy. the ultrasound was planned to check for a potential pre-term labor complication, but it turns out that there are NO concerns and everything is right on track and 100% perfect. more good news than we even knew we could get today. blessed & thankful.

    Hello Jenna: I hope you start feeling better soon. It is a very rainy day here in Portland and I am sitting here procrastinating. I am working on marketing material for my business Bliss Holistic Health- Find Your Bliss. I am a wee bit overwhelmed and thought I would take a break, have a cup of green tea and do some sun salutations to get over it. I think it may be working:)

    I love your giveaway! Awesome.

    Feel better soon.

    Gearing up for Silicon Valley Open Studios this weekend and my anxiety is building up as well. With having to set things up and prepare them for Saturday: positioning art on walls, deciding on food, and the most emotional: pricing. That and wondering if anyone, besides supportive friends and family will arrive. My to do list is halfway done, but even more work has been added. I am stressed, but, quite honestly, I am excited for it. I have never participated in an event like this before. One thing for sure, I know my mom has my back (as well as my husband) and will be there helping me both days. If it wasn’t for their support, I’d have probably be curled up with my cats muttering jibberish by now. That is my day so far. Now to tackle the rest of my list. . .

I had a nice run in the misty morning, and then hunkered down over my books with a mug of tea for the rest of the day. With finals I haven’t been able to figure out what to get my mom for Mother’s Day – I got my love of reading from her so I know she’d love this!

    My day is hopefully winding down. I worked out at 6am. Did prenatal care visits all day and then swung by the hospital on the way home to see two women that had babies yesterday (I’m a midwife). Now I’m waiting on the lasagna my husband made to come out of the oven and hoping my pager stays quiet for the night so I can sleep 🙂

    My day has gone pretty well so far. I just moved into my new apartment a couple of days ago, so I’m getting used to that. My boyfriend went home for the summer (we’re still in college), but I made my way to the gym and managed to meet someone who lives here other than my roommates, woohoo! 🙂

    My day is coming to a close. It started with your wonderful peanut butter hot chocolate followed by a long uneventful day at work. After a blissful workout that always leaves me breathless, I turned to Nicholas Sparks elating the last remaining moments of my day. I hope your day was just as wonderful filled with inspiration and small comforts to remind you of home.

    Hi! What a generous Mother’s Day giveaway.

    My day was busy but decent. I have been starting a new job, so I still learn something new every day. I love jamming out in the car to and from work (sheepish).

    My mom’s in a book club, so I think a Nook would be great for her. And I love to read, even when I’m on the go a lot.

  • Kimber
    May 3, 2012 at 8:08 pm

    Great day –minus the part where my co-worker asked me if I just came inside after running around in the rain? (I had been inside for 3 hours, so apparently I was having a bad hair day!) Have not read the book, but I look forward to reading it!

  • Pamela

    Jenna- I just off the phone with my mom and she yelled at me for working out when I am sick. I told her that I had heard you could get rid of a cold by working out hard. Now I am wondering if Mom is always right and I should have rested! 🙂 Just happy to have my mom as the last person I spoke to tonight. She is simply the best!

    My day ? it’s a joy ( for my daughter’s finished biome project), sleepy head (after ironing all the laundry), pride (from teaching my students), happiness ( after playing and talking with my son), satisfaction ( after making delicious food for my family), aching heart ( after talking to my mommy , and not being able to see her and hug her for almost 2 years) and finally fresh air and rain drops on my face to finish today in peace.
    Tomorrow will be another beautiful day, I’m looking forward to …

    I can hear the rain hitting the deck outside. It’s running through the gutter. The window is open just a crack and the smell is clean and crisp like cilantro pesto. There’s laundry to be done, a room to pick up and four articles left to edit. They’ll keep until morning – I’m sure. Because, the banana bread on the counter is almost cool enough to slice and he’s waiting for me on the couch with a thick blanket. Two slices, two scoops and one spoon – does a night get much better?

    wow..! not a bad way to end the day; entering for this giveaway 🙂

    it’s been hectic, but i wouldn’t expect any less. been busy putting together the final touches on a cancer benefit i’m helping organize that’ll take place on saturday! the thought of it being only a day away is quite nerve-wracking as there is still so much that can be done. but with voluntary manpower, we learn to make due the best we can… so i’m also as exhausted getting excited for it, too! tradeoffs… but in the end, self-fulfillment and knowing i continue to be the change i wish to see in the world is what makes it all the more worth it!

    you have a great night and weekend!

I’m skipping my workout this morning cause I have pain in my shoulder (bummer…really). Picking up my nephew after work to hang out and watch a movie. Not too bad for a Friday so far!
    Can I tell you about yesterday?? I had a 2nd interview and I was soooo nervous! So much that I felt sick when I was headed home. I’m hoping I get good news on Monday…I really need this. Cross your fingers for me!!

    Thank goodness it’s Friday! This week was long, with work travel, a hotel that didn’t have water for one of those days (!!), glass piece on the carpet that ended up in my foot, and flight delays. Phew! Looking forward to relaxing this weekend and staying home!! 🙂

    I would love to say that my day has been going great but the reality is that I have been trying to buy a foreclosed property and after about $1000 spent by me on the various expenses for appraisals and inspections the bank wants to rescind the contract despite the fact that I was willing to wait until they took care of the liens against the title. Hopefully I’ll wake up tomorrow with a little more perspective.

    Celebrating my daughter’s first communion tomorrow …. so spent most of the day today cleaning and cooking for our family. It is a bit nerve wrecking thinking about going to church tomorrow, the same church were we held my youngest son’s funeral just a year ago. I miss him, miss him so very much!

    It been one of those days the kind you want to say goodbye. It could lead to a wonderful Friday though if I were to win a nook with a good book loaded into. A nice mother’s day and birthday present too:) nice idea. Hope you are feeling better.

    Jenna – I was so excited to see this post, as I ran out and bought How to Love an American Man right after your post about loving the book. It made me think so much about my grandparents’ relationships and how much I can and should still learn from them. I’m having a great day – it’s nearly Friday!!!!
