I don't know about you, but I have had a pretty rough week. I'm feeling blue from the chilly weather and Spring seems so far away. The schools are gearing up for standardized testing next month, things are getting crazy, and everyone around me is stressed and overwhelmed. My husband and I went out to the Eastern Shore of Maryland last month to look at a couple sailboats on the market, and we both fell in love with an Ericson 32. Greg said it would be the perfect sailboat for us. We thought maybe we would be able to afford it if I got a new job that I had recently applied for. I thought I was highly qualified for the position, and I found out a couple days ago that I was not even selected for the interview process. A total bummer. We also found out that the perfect boat for us was also the perfect boat for someone else - because it is now off the market. Another bummer.
Enough of the bummers though, because as a friend pointed out to me, life is good. Life is definitely good, but it would be better if I were on a boat somewhere in the British Virgin Islands, and if money grew on palm trees. This morning my mom sent me this picture that my sister took of a tropical fruit paradise she made for my nephews. My nephews are 3 and 6, and my sister said they ate every piece off the plate. It totally cheered me up when I saw it!
Now doesn't that make you smile? Don't you wish you were there? Okay, now for the giveaway.

I wish I could say it was for a trip to a tropical paradise, but it is not! I am giving away a microplane. If you don't have a microplane in your kitchen, you need to have one. It is an awesome kitchen gadget that can finely grate cheese, zest citrus, and grate ginger. I use it on a daily basis in my kitchen. Entering the giveaway is EASY. To enter, simply leave a comment on this blog post telling me what your dream tropical paradise getaway would be (for example, mine is the British Virgin Islands). You can comment under Anonymous, but make sure to include your name at the end of your comment (first name, last initial is fine). The winner will be selected randomly and will be announced on the blog on Saturday February 23rd. Can't wait to hear about your dream vacation spot!
