Thanks all for your participating in my Party/Presents Fandango last week...loved your comments about what is making you happy.
I think it will surprise no one that the winner of the ARC of A MAZE OF GRACE is...KimQuiltz! She interviewed a goatherd! What I love about this (besides the absurdity) is how in addition to making her happy, it brought a smile to every single visitor to my blog after she posted. That's spreading the love :)
The winner of the ROCK THE TOT T-shirt is...KristyWes! She lives in NYC where one must wear black, so I trust this t-shirt will be a well-loved addition to her wardrobe :) I mean, who else in the city will be wearing that t-shirt???
And the mystery present goes to...JanaGC!!! What is this gift, you ask? Let me tell you...
A few weeks back I came home to the most wonderful of sights: a package from Amazon.com on my doorstep. Inside was a memoir I'd won on the splendiferous site of all things bookish & good, The Diving Wand. The memoir is called FIRST COMES LOVE, THEN COMES MALARIA, by Eve Brown-White. I read it in 18 hours, totally drawn into the story of her adventures in the Peace Corps and with CARE in Uganda. To reach a reader like me (I don't even like camping, let alone multi-year adventures in the bush) this means the author did a great job of writing a compelling story. So I'll be paying it forward, sending a copy of this excellent book to JanaCG so it can inspire her, too.
Congratulations everyone! Kim, Kristy, & Jana: send your address to me at Trishryanonline AT gmail.
Let's continue the party...What's making you happy today?
For me? SUNSHINE. I'll be taking THAT DOG for a walk, so we can get our dose of vitamin D :)

Eeeeeeee!! I'm SO very excited! Thank you!!!
BTW, I have a pic of a trio of little goat kids on my blog. The happiness and cuteness factor was HUGE, I tell ya!
It was a rough freelancing weekend, I also had to attend a wine tour. Yup, hard labor! These are some great moments out of what has been a truly heartbreaking 6 months. Thanks again!! I'm on Cloud 9.
No way! That's great news. That book has been on my To Read list. It sounds fabulous. Thank you, thank you!
I hope I meet KristyWes went I'm wearing my Rock the Tot shirt. We can hang in Union Square or somewhere together. I wore mine to the gym today at the country club; they hadn't seen that one before.
