Giveaway extended

I forgot that the easter bunny is visiting on Sunday, and I plan to be in a jelly bean and chocolate bunny ears (the best part, of course) induced coma by lunchtime.

So I'm extending the giveaway to end on 4/24, and I'll draw a lucky winner on Monday.

Hop to it!

Hello,

My name is Amy.

I'm a 36 year old married attorney.  I have student loans. A 401k. A mortgage.

My BMI is too high.

I have forehead wrinkles. And my gray hairs are starting to arrive in groups.

I wear flats.  I own 8.2 pairs of boring black pants.

I "commute," "teleconference" and "mitigate."

And I freakin' love Ke$ha.



Young at heart much?
