First, I will announce last week’s winners–as I intended to do yesterday. 🙂 Tammy Carter and Laura Ann Harris, your books will be on their way pronto. Enjoy! As always, a new contest is underway at this very moment. All you have to do is comment, and you’re in. 🙂 2 winners will be chosen at random and will each receive an autographed copy of one of my books. What about the crazy title I’ve given today’s post? 🙂 Well, those of you who’ve been hanging around the virtual ranch for a while will probably recall that I am a real sucker for stickers–gold stars, butterflies, little crowns–whatever, I love them all, though the shiny ones are particular favorites. As a child, I would memorize the entire New Testament (slight exaggeration here) just to get that little metallic star next to my name on a chart at Sunday school. 🙂 (I once won a week at church camp for committing the most Bible verses to memory.) Ridiculous as it may sound, given that I am no spring chicken, as the saying goes, I STILL get a little thrill when I can reward myself in this small way. For the last month or so, I’ve been slapping a pretty sticker in my Weight Watchers tracker (a food journal) every time I meet my goal to exercise 5 times within a given week. Hence, today is sticker day–and the achievement was a bit more of a challenge this time around, because I’ve been traveling–more on that in the next paragraph–and since my WW week runs from Wednesday to Wednesday, and I returned home on Friday evening, I needed to hop on my bike and pedal diligently if I wanted to reach my objective. 🙂 (I normally work out early in the morning, as my batteries start to run down an hour or two after lunch.)
DRAT! Once AGAIN, the computer gremlins ate a MAJOR chunk of my blog. I’ll fill you in on my visit with Debbie Macomber tomorrow.
