Deseret Book Giveaway

I'm giving away $100 in wishlist items from Deseret Book!

Go enter, and do it in a hurry, because I want you to have your things before Christmas.

Everybody's Problem

"Are you excited to not have a pregnant wife anymore?"

"Well, kind of. It goes from just your problem to everybody's problem..."

I told him that I seriously want to consider naming the baby something from the Arabic tradition. (I've been reading The Looming Tower lately because I've owned it for three years and it was about time.)

Even though I truly do think Arabic offers beautiful girl names, mostly I think it would be funny to piss off my in-laws forever. Baby Noor. I like it. Yes!

I hear, however, that naming babies to spite other people's silly prejudices isn't the best idea.

(Whatever.)

In other news, the boys got the most awesome road trip survival box of Cars and Cars 2 things, and you can win one for your Cars fanatics, too. Hop on over to Jet Set Galore (Hint: portable DVD player!) to enter.

Something Old, Something New

Old news comes from my Giveaway Giveaway. Random says that Clyde won!

Clyde said...
My daughter's classmate father passed away about a week before Thanksgiving... He was the only income in the house (three kids, the youngest is 2 1/2 years old) so it's a heartache to know that this Christmas will be a hard one - without a dad and some little new things to play with.

Thanks for this generous giveaway!... It will make a lot of a deal for whoever is the lucky winner.

Clyde, drop an email to jetset dot azucar at gmail dot com.


Something New!

Did you know I get phone calls from my friends asking me questions night and day? It's true: my friends treat me like I'm their Wikipedia on speed dial. Sometimes a girl gets tired answering calls all the time, even if the phone is ringing Jay-Z. That's why I started a new blog to feature things I like, things I don't like, and soup, which I could eat, or not eat. The blog is called Jet Set Galore. And while it will not tell you on which aisle you can find the balsamic vinegar at the Wal*Mart, and a recipe for balsamic dressing (Shannon,) today Jet Set Galore will tell you where to get the best facial in Salt Lake (of course, it's the only facial I've ever had in Salt Lake.)

I would be genuinely delighted if you'd pop on over and tell me what you like or don't like, or talk all about soup.

(I like olives.)
