What I'm Reading Now

Michael lives in my neighborhood. I do not know him but I see him around all the time. This book (his first) was named one of the top 10 best books of 2007 by the NY Times Book Review. He also just won the Impac Dublin Literary Award.

What I Just Read

My rating:

(I need to cry for 5 stars.)

Janelle interviewed me eons ago for Salon.com. She's a sassy lady who's super nice. This is her first novel. It received rave reviews and I loved every minute of it.

Born To Love Gap - Part 2

Yay! Free jeans! Yay!

Okay, so a few weeks after having coffee with Justine my sugarmama, a UPS man brought me a big box from Gap.

Born To Fit Welcome Box


I was super-excited to receive it because I knew that I had either been chosen to become a Gap Brand Enthusiast or I was about to read the longest "We regret to inform you..." letter ever written. After quickly tearing it open, I opened it up and found a lovely orange bag, a bottle of Gap's new perfume Close, a bunch of lip gloss, and a cute tee that says "Born to Blog" on it.

Here's everything minus the tee (which you'll see later!):

Gap bag, lip gloss, "Close" perfume


There was also a letter from Justine inside that said, "It didn't take long after meeting you for the team to decide that you would make a perfect Brand Enthusiast for Gap..."

Welcome Letter


The letter went on to explain that Justine was going to send me a big box of Gap goodies—including a bunch of new 1969 jeans in different styles and a run of sizes—so I should invite all my friends over to try them on. Everyone would then get to go home with a free pair. Free stuff is great, but when you get to share it with your friends, it's even better!

The next step was planning my party. For that, you are going to have to wait for Part 3!

PS - Part 5 is where I tell you about the FREE Gap jeans & gift card giveaway!
