This here is the last Mighty Summit giveaway! Hello, trusty tote.
Large Natural Zip Top Canvas Tote Bag by Lands End
Man, these things are useful, and strong. We use ours to carry our child like an expensive, overbred dog. No, I kid. We use it on our yacht.
Yours will not say “Gifts” on the front, but it will have yellow trim. You could use it to carry around all these books:
You Lost Me There, by Rosecrans Baldwin
Hey, my friend Rosecrans is a novelist! Even better, the book he wrote is very good, and you will like it. It’s about a memory specialist who loses his wife and later finds a set of index cards covered in her writing. He comes to learn that his memories of a perfect partnership aren’t true to his wife’s feelings of isolation and disenchantment with the marriage.
No One Cares What You Had fro Lunch, by Margaret Mason
This is a signed copy of my book, which is not a novel. But! It is very green and full of good ideas for your blog.
Wiley’s Guide to California Wine
In which you will learn that California wine is delicious. Apologies for the spoiler.
This is the book Laura edited full of great writing and photography from women around the Web. Also, it is pretty.
In addition to the tote, Lands’ End also threw in a gift card. You could use yours for this. Or this. Or one of these. Whatever you want, really.
$50 Gift Card from Soma Intimates
And who doesn’t need new skivvies?

Every time I enter my house, I’m welcomed by the worlds happiest dog. She wags her tail, nay.. she wags her entire 55 pound body. It doesn’t matter if I’ve been gone for five minutes, or five days, I get the same welcome. It makes me smile, it makes me happy, it makes me feel like I’m the luckiest person in the entire world.

Cutting open a perfectly ripe avocado! Despite years of trying to perfect the squeeze and press method of selecting a perfect avocado at the market I always hold my breath when I cut into it because sometimes it has mushy brown spots and sometimes it’s still too hard. A perfectly ripe avocado is a thing of delicious wonder and worth the risk!

Now that I live in Seattle, and most of my dear friends are still at “home” in SF, I would have to say what makes me happy are trips home & catching up with my girlfriends. The ones who knew me when I was a Girl Scout & bleached my hair…those friendships are much different than the ones with the ladies I have befriended post-kids.
