KJ, you know I love everything you ever write. I guess if I had to pick a favorite it would be ... no, I can't choose.
But, I did love Haplology. Oh, and I adored the Vogue series. And, then there was Mental Pause Moments.
I am your devoted fan.
You have a wonderful blog...so glad I found it.......
Cuddles and Cranky's dialogue broke me up!

I read about your Mango Chai Lassi....will have to use that recipe.
As for the giveaway...thank you for hosting...
Great giveaway idea, thanks for the chance to enter!
I like your posts about words (I had forgotten about "chuffed," and now I'll be trying to work it into a conversation).

This sounds like a great book! I looked at the bloggy carnival page, and oh wow! there are a lot of giveaways! And hmmmm... your archives. I always like the posts about words - such as nectary, and éclat, and hapology...
Did you feel that earthquake? I think you might have been closer to it than me.

I love the posts without words. Have a great week....Mary
Wow, this looks like a great book! Thanks for the chance!!
What an interesting book. thanks for such a great giveaway.
"Mireille Guiliano authored the book, French Women Don’t Get Fat. I purchased both the softcover and the audio version over a year ago, favoring Mireille's narrative because anything sounds better in French!"
Je conviens, ainsi svp choisissez-moi
Thanks for the giveaway! Your Mango Chai recipe looks delicious! And I have never ever heard of the word neologism before!!
Oh dear forgot to add a link...sarahlarrittatgmaildotcom Sarah

I am really looking forward to this prize! I feel I could use it if I won :)

Also, I liked your lassi recipe. Mango lassi are my favorite and I love chai as well. Can't wait to try the mango chai lassi...wow, lots of yumminess in 1 drink!
Watermelon that works like viagra? My husband does not like watermelon.
I can't imagine living in CA with earth quakes. I really fear them, but I guess when you live there maybe it is just the way it is. Like in Virginia with the hurricanes. I didn't fear them at all because really they didn't do much, some flooding and sometimes a bit of power outage.
What a cool book, I hope I win. I liked your post about grits, which I have never tried, but now I would really like to.
Magnifique; merci!
I liked your watermelon/viagra bit. :)

I read your post titled Making 50 a Design Challenge, and it reminded me that I am nearly there. I think I will set up a goal to achieve for when I finally achieve (hopefully) that milestone. I would love to win that book!

Since I am a new reader of yours, I quickly picked Feb. I landed on your post talking about Pat, from Back Porch Musings giving away a copy of Mary Carol Garrity's book about weddings. That was interesting to me because she just opened a new shop here in KC, MO last Fall. She is a very friendly and talented lady and I am so happy to see her popularity extend outside of the Mid-west. Thanks for your chance to win a great book, too!
Thanks for the giveaway!!

This sounds like a wonderful prize.
And I read a whole bunch of your previous posts- I especially liked "buried treasure"- I used to love beachcombing... but now I live WAY too far from an ocean!
Sounds to be some good reading. Thanks for the chance to win it!

Ok, so next time I get upset with my daughter I'm going to call her a logophile. I love it!!!!

The post on Xanadu caught my eye - I did a paper on Coleridge when I was in high school, and "Kubla Khan" figured prominently in it.
Love your blog, I think I'll be back from time to time. Thanks for the giveaway!
Crossing my fingers to win this one!
I loved your post on April 28 about your first ride on the Small World attraction in Disneyland! Your writing was so eloquent, and I thought it was sweet that 5th grade you started an International Club with a friend after that! A lovely memory shared with us!
here is my comment.
and i watched a story about the quake on the news. glad nothing too serious happened besides your lovies getting to experience mother nature.

I read In Basket, and agree, now that you mention it, author unknown is kinda sad
I read on February 11th about Tasha Tudor. You linked to her website and showed a picture of her cookbook. I LOVE Tasha Tudor and was very sad about her recent death. I also love the Valentine's Day ideas! Thanks for the great giveaway and I hope I win!
Hi KJ! Please enter me in your wonderful giveway...I had some catching up to do here. Enjoyed reading True Grits! I have never been a fan of grits. Funny, because I like Cream Of Wheat and it is similar...
Penny
Enter me in yours, too! Sounds like a great book :)
Thanks!

Thanks for the great giveaway! nw_wife(at)hotmail(dot)com
I read a post in your archives about aging. It had a bunch of quotes and they were SO funny!
Looks great! Thanks for the giveaway!
This book sounds lovely
jasonncaryn at yahoo dot com
I would, love,love,love that book.
I agree with you, I always feel a little sadness when I read a poem and then read "Author Unknown". It's almost as though the person behind the words never existed.
Your bunnies are adorable, I have a little soon to be 5 y/o who would love to do nothing but spoil them with fresh Dandelion leaves and carrots.
I'd love to win this book and I read your quake story.

I read the post on Logophiles and found out something about myself..I am one!
You do have a way with words and I enjoyed my visit.
Good morning KJ.... just hopping by to say hello... Great giveaway idea, thanks for the chance to enter!
Have a lovely weekend

C'est Bon! I'd love to win this book. I am trying to improve on my french and this would really help. I also looked back into your archives and I found a post I really liked: S. M. I. L. E. I totally agree with what you had to say about not many people smiling now a days. And when you do see people smiling or people smiling it is truly contagious. Even smiling on a day that you feel less than perfect, instantly lifts your spirit. Thank you so much for sharing all your thoughts with us! Also, thanks for the giveaway.

Hi :)
I wanted to say thank you for entering my Bloggy Giveaway, and drop by yours to enter, too!
Have a great weekend!
Krissi
so this book looks pretty interesting and i would like to read it
You mean I have to give away something to get 70 comments?! No fair!
Hey thanks for saying I'm a cutie :) That was like getting a rock out of your shoe :) No, better!
I hope I win KJ because I'm gonna save you on shipping! I'm coming out to pick it up myself :)
You say you have a guest cottage out back? Oh? Cottage cheese in the morning...welllll...bury it in a layer of Lasagna with some mozzarella on top and I'll take a bite....hey! Do I get extra credit if I leave the longest comment ever? Did I tell you that I was working for American Airlines when we got married and we took our honeymoon in Monterey? $24 came out of my paycheck for 2 round trips in 1st class :) We stayed at Green Gables Inn. Have I told you already? I don't care if you do have earthquakes...I say California is so great I'd stay anyway. There used to be a song that said California girls are the sweetest in the world...each one is a song in the making...and I was so jealous! Always wishing I could be a California girl. Did you ever want to be a Kentucky girl KJ? Hey wouldja look at that I'm out of space! Good night KJ!
KJ, thanks so much for stopping by my blog and my Etsy. I've been reading through your posts. I didn't know that people could still get milk delivered. Where have I been?!
