i really wish i was oprah

i don't think i'm going to be doing giveaways very often. it has taken me this long to announce a winner because a) it took me awhile to figure out a way to randomly choose a winner that was fair, and b) it hurts my heart to not have everyone win.

but i am not oprah. this isn't my announcement that everyone won. this is, however, my announcement that there were two winners. two is better than one, right? it even says so in the Bible (see Ecc. 4:9)

so, without further ado, here are the two winners...

1) allison from youngfamilyadoption.blogspot.com

2)missy from whats-going-on-here.com

i promise i didn't choose allison because her family is PRECIOUS and her heart is amazing. i wish i had had that kind of heart at her age. at any age for that matter!

and i promise i didn't choose missy because her photos, children and even dogs are beautiful. nor did i choose her because her name ROCKS. the choosing was random. she lives in canada for goodness sake's, i could have saved myself some moo-la in shipping had i not been random.

but randomness happens to be one of my specialties in life. meet my random generator...

thanks for playing along. even if you have to purchase the book radical for yourself, it's a provocative and worthwhile read.

p.s. dear allison and missy, so i don't exactly have the books in my possession yet. i got excited to give it away as soon as i finished it and got the cart before the horse a bit. but i will purchase them and send them to you in this decade for sure. seriously, i will figure out how to get your addresses and get the books into your hot little hands asap.
