We Have a Winner!
I really want to thank everyone who played along with my wish list game. I feel like I've received gifts from so many of you this last week or so. Gifts of being reminded what I already have, both materially and in thoughtfulness by my family. Gifts of wishes that I should have things that you have and love - maybe someday regular massages will be in my budget! Gifts of your time and energy that you've put into thinking up something great for me to check out.
I want you all to know that Joe has been reading your comments too, and not just him either. The husband of a friend and reader called me up the other day and asked me about what to get her for Christmas. Thanks to you all, I was able to send him here and I'm sure he found lots of great ideas that she will love. I'd like to believe that there are others like him out there waiting to be enlightened.
In any case, as I'm going back through all the comments, the copies of them that are in my e-mail in-box, I'm putting them into a special folder and then will use the random number generator to draw one out. Now, I have to point out that I asked y'all to post responses on the original contest post and a bunch of you didn't. If you had, it would have made my life oh-so-much easier right now, but I don't have the heart to leave you out of the running so I'm taking the extra time to sort 'em through.
I'm sorry I don't have time tonight to respond to all the rest of the suggestions. Please know that I read them all, and really appreciate your thoughtfulness!
So I ran the random number - it was 58 - and I had to go almost twenty people down the list to find someone who had left contact information! It seems like a silly requirement, but I need a way to e-mail the winner that they've won, and it's not like I'm generating some kind of spam e-mail list! I even went through the Blogger accounts of the people in question and most of the profiles were unavailable, or led to blogs with no e-mail information.
Which is extremely lucky, I guess, for Flan, who did include her e-mail address when she recommended that I get some kind of new workspace option like storage or desk for my office. Flan, I've thought about that and really would like to get a new desk in my office some day. The thing that holds me back is that I have a feeling no matter how much horizontal space I have, I will still manage to clutter it up. So until we have unlimited funds, I'm sticking with what I have.
E-mail me with your snail-mail address, and I'll pop the book out to you this week. Unless you want to finally meet up for that cup of coffee and/or dyeing party we've been trying to plan for the last eon. Shellyk at shellykang dot com.
And now, I'm going to go take a break. I haven't had one all week. I'm exhausted.

Congratulations Flan! Just a pity that I missed this contest ;)
Thank-you so much, Shelly, for allowing me to participate in this contest! It was so much fun reading all of your reader's suggestions and your responses. You have a wonderful family and I wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a safe, happy, and healthy New Year!
Blessings,
Denise
P.S. Congratulations Flan!
Congrats Flan. I started to put my e-mail info in then changed my mind for some reason and erased it. Oh well. Shelly, I hope you get everything you wish for, like Julie being able to eat lots of new foods!!!
