Congratulations to our winner! @PBandJazz DM @blogherathome with your address, so that we can get that out to you!

Or so she claims on her website, Is it 5 o’clock yet??
You can find her there, and over at Aiming Low, on Twitter AND at The Bad Mom’s Club!
Whew! She’s a busy woman. And, besides all that, she has also written a book A Heaping Spoonful.

From the Amazon description:

When Claire Hamilton lost her husband to cancer, her self-image shattered overnight. Once a happily married and financially secure mother of two, Claire suddenly finds herself a single parent trying to keep her small bakery running smoothly.
While she manages to continue her daily duties as mom, boss, sister and daughter, Claire’s anger and inability to move on have her emotionally crippled.
Luckily for Claire, the people who love her refuse to stop pushing her to learn to really live—and love—again. Claire’s family is impossible to ignore: Lucy, Claire’s man-crazy younger sister and employee, prides herself on being blunt and brash, but amazingly loveable.
Claire’s father is an ex-high school principal who, though he is a great help with the business and his grandchildren, can still make her feel like a teenager. Claire’s mother, a southern belle suffering from Alzheimer’s, helps Claire most of all by providing her with a surprising gift from her own past.

A book about the power of starting over? I’m down with that!

And she has graciously offered to send a copy of her book to one of you!

in exactly 14 days, RAGE Against the Meshugenah, authored by my favorite “neutered jew,” (his words, not mine) , Danny Evans will be released.  some of you may already be familiar with his brilliance from his blog DadGoneMad.com and some of you may just be wading in the shallow depths of his hilarity.

i urge you to dive in.  both feet.  now.

here is what i can personally vouch for…

• danny = good people, really good people, salt of the earth.
• RAGE will rock your world, seriously the whole world that you currently exist in.
• no one on the face of this planet is capable of writing about battling depression, and making their readers piss in their pants with laughter like this man… brilliant, i tell you.  fucking brilliant.
• danny and RAGE saved my marriage.

he is giving away a signed copy of his book to Blogher@Home, his masterpiece pre-release!

it’s only fitting that this magnificent man, has offered ONE signed copy of RAGE to ONE lucky winner.  (i mean c’mon, this is pre-release.  let us not be greedy.  simply pre-order at amazon if you haven’t already.)
