Just Friggin' Amazing! and a GIVEAWAY!

Lets just dive right in, shall we?

Recently I've been nominated for 3 awards! :) Aren't I popular!!!

Thanks to Katie! I am beautiful... and so are you my dear!

Thanks to Teri!

I have to admit I haven't checked out your blog yet. But I'll be sure to do it VERY soon!

A big thanks to ExPat Girl!

Teri and Katie please don't be offended but I'm not going to be following the rules, because the people have seen it from me before! I will however proceed with the rules from ExPat's Award:

The rules for the award are to blog about a woman (real life, celebrity or fictional) that you think is fabulous and explain why you think she rocks.

You then need to pass the award onto 5 other bloggers that you think are deserving.

FIRST: I think my sister is fabulous because she is on her FOURTH deployment in just 7 years of marriage. (You do the math... PPPSSHhh 12 months dwell-time my foot!)

She's 30 weeks pregnant and has a monstrous adorably-sassy three-year-old.

I know that my sister is just one of many. She isn't the exception, she's the rule. It's because of women who've come before me that I know I can survive my deployments. And one day (God help me) be strong enough for me and my future spawn babies.

I think she's fabulous, because she inspires me.

Love you sis!

Yes you heard me right (in the title) today we are starting my first ever giveaway!!!

Not only is it my first but it's SPONSORED. Yes... that's right people. Strap in... and get ready for this one!

So the amazing people at Borders contacted me to participate in this giveaway. Earlier today I went down to the Borders and demo'd this bad boy. It's AWESOME. I have to admit I wasn't really drawn to these. Going into it I was concerned where one gets the e-books and how they are downloaded onto the device.

Well that's just too easy!

It comes with software that helps you download books.

The one feature I was extremely surprised by was the highlighting. You can "highlight" (obviously) quotes and sections from one of the THOUSANDS (1000's) of books this lil' beauty holds.

It's really pretty awesome. I was blown away.

Now to the free-stuff.

Thanks to Borders and their support for our military this give-away is restricted.

I know, {sad face}.

But the unique packing limitations our soldiers are faced with makes them perfect for this Sony Touch Reader!
