Pam Davis, creator of Girls ’n Grace, and Authentic Books are sponsoring a contest, just in time for Christmas.

How many times will they use the joke, "Just call in and tell Stevie how much you love him. He needs your votes."

I've been saying for months that I was going to start a blog. One of my major tasks at work is to get blogs to talk about books that I am working on. So I'm always looking at blogs, but don't have one myself. I should create one, I tell myself. Well, I'm finally doing it. We'll see how long it lasts and how often it gets updated. One of my "jobs" outside of work is updating my church's website. I admit to sometimes being less than enthusiastic about that task at times. After working all day, I just can't bring myself to getting on the computer and working on it What makes me think updating this is going to be updated any better I ask myself. What would really make this blog awesome is if I set it up anonymously. I've got funny things to say, but the people in my life might not find them as funny as everyone else. (Just ask my co-workers about some of my family stories. My co-workers find them quite humerous, the family, not so much, for example...
