What Julie Leto had to say on Friday, May 18th, 2007
Because after losing those twelve pages yesterday (seven edited, five new…all brilliant and all gone,) this is what I’m offering this week.
That’s one bottle of margarita mix, one tin of margarita cookies, one tin of margarita salt and one cute serving tray all from the El Paso Chile Company.
Oh, and a book. There’s always a book!
US residents only…and save a shot of tequila for me. Just post a comment…if you include the reason why you need these margaritas, you won’t have an increased chance of winning, but you will help the rest of us commiserate.
By all reports, Julie Leto was a sweet child once, somewhat shy, preferring to play quietly in her room making up stories. However, being raised with three brothers in a loud, primarily Italian household did have its influences and Julie discovered her inner tough girl. That’s probably why most of her heroines kick serious butt. Writing sassy heroines has worked out, as she’s sold over forty books to four publishers featuring strong, confident women. Julie lives in Florida with her daughter, a spoiled dachshund, a haughty lynx-point Siamese and a wide range of relatives all within driving distance.

OOOOOOO NICE NICE PRIZE|!!:love2::party: someones going to have a party with that
Comment
Great prize. Happy Friday. I’m currently laid off work & thinking about finding another job.
Comment
Ooohh!! Another wonderful prize! How do you ladies keep coming up with such great ideas?
Comment
I could really use one. :)
We not only have stupid coupons at the store we have buy one get one for 99 cents. Do you know how many people get confused over that sale? Why is it my 9 year old niece can understand it but and adult cannot?
When a customer brings one item up and I tell them it is part of buy one get one, they look at me with this blank look on their faces.
Comment
Hugs, Stacy S…in the meantime, enjoy your time off. Cheryl, this wasn’t hard to come up with after the day I had yesterday (and no, the 12 pages are not back. I tried, but the witty banter…all gone from my head. Maybe today will be better.) Barb, sorry for the customers. I know your pain–I stand behind these people every time I go shopping.
For those of you who don’t “do” tequila…you can always mix the margarita mix with club soda or sprite and crushed ice. Very refreshing for the hot summer! And the cookies…oh, just yum.
Comment
Great prize Julie! Happy Friday everyone!!!!
Comment
Great prize Julie! Today will be better, that is what I keep telling myself anyway.
Comment
I even made the effort to join the party from sea!
Have a great weekend everyone! :wave:
Comment
Hey Barb, I was at the buy one get one for .99 sale yesterday…bought 4 pair of cute summer flip flops!
Comment
Happy Friday everyone!!! Julie, today will be better the 12 pages will come and bring more pages with them. Awesome prize as always…would come in handy for our big pool party at my friends house next weekend. Margaritas are a big fav for me and all my friends(only way most will touch tequila).
Comment
:zzz: I have been out straight and stressed out planning a fundraiser for the Relay For Life (American Cancer Society)team I am co-Captain of. Julie, I wish I lived closer we could meet up for some drinks because boy do I need some.
The fundraiser is tonight and I am down to 2 team members helping out! Wish me luck, hopefully we can pull this off.
Good luck to everyone else.

Is this a late Cinqo de Mayo prize? Or are we getting reading for next years holiday early? Have a great weekend everyone.
Comment

Margaritas – need anyone say more! Great prize. Happy Friday everyone!
Comment
Great prize. Have a great weekend everyone.

That is an amazing prize Julie! I need it because between work, the end of the school year activities for the kids(field trips, field day, parties, etc.), T-ball, piano lessons, taking care of everyone….. I’m beat! Calgon take me away (or you know, Jose Quervo, whatever lol)!
Hugs, Zara
Comment
I’m a new poster here, but have lurked for quite a while. Julie, this prize is perfect! My reason for needing it? A book to finish revising for an agent who has been waiting for it for three months, and the kids got out of school yesterday! 8O
What’s up with that?! And, thanks to a new state law, they don’t go back until the end of August. Over three months of bliss. How will I fill the long, boring days for my three kids? :wallbash:
Sorry bout the pages. I do feel your pain. Thanks for great blogs, ladies!

Let’s just say that yesterday, my oldest who has autism (first of all, he turned seven which was reason to celebrate, but my husband was out of town, so our babysitter and the boys had a little party:party:) had a HOE DOWN at school. He was agitated in the beginning, but then fine….HOWEVER, my two year old had a tantrum at the HOE DOWN and I had to leave early and he kept screaming…..then, I watch “GREY’s” after putting them to bed and all I can say is
:hissyfit::hissyfit: This morning my two year old woke everyone up and is still causing trouble. TGIF (note sarcasm). :wallbash::wallbash::wallbash:
Comment
Wow! What a terrific prize. Would celebrate the beautiful weather we are now having…Spring has finally arrived here with warm, sunny weather and yards filling with beautiful colors from the flowers and shrubs. Definitely worth celebrating with some of our great neighbors.
Comment
What a wonderful prize to start a weekend off with. Good Luck Everyone!!!:cheer:
Comment
A good margarita drink and a great read, What else can we ask for?
Comment
You can keep the margartia mix & great cookies
That’s quite allright with me
If it’ll help your mind fill with creative witty banter
and let your mind run free
Now the book’s another story, I always hope to win
I love a good plotmonkey read
I hope today your creative juices flow to the finish
Because your books I always need
:love2:Big Hugs :love2:

Wow Margarita’s are always a great prize. I am really sorry about your pages. If I was able to drink I could use it. I am 8 months pregnant and have a 2 year old. My husband now seems to be traveling every week for work and we just found out that we are going to have to move his grandmother out of her house that she has lived in for over 50 years and man is she a PACK RAT. This should be a fun filled month.
Good luck with the pages.

Great Prize:!:
I LOVE a good margaria. I NEED a great margarita.
It is the end of the school year and life in the middle school dean’s office is…well let’s just say it is HORRIBLE.
On top of that our car is in the shop and it needs lots of band-aids, and thanks to dh we have a $200 ticket to pay……
Julie, have a better day, may the witty and wordy gods of writers have mercy.:cocktail:

Comment
Hi everyone! I hope everyone’s day gets better and that the weekend is terrific for everyone!! No headache today so things are definitely looking up on my end. And my oldest gets back from a week long vacation and I get to go pick him up at the airport. 2 hours with him, I don’t remember the last time that happened, so I’m looking forward to today.
Have a great weekend, everyone!!

Cool prize! I am a mom of two kids under the age of 4. I think that is a good reason for needing Margaritas. :-) Have a great weekend everyone.

Life, in general, is a good reason for a margarita!:cocktail: Happy Friday, everyone!
Comment
Ok here’s why I need the margarita package
My company is closing & I’m striking out on job interviews left &n right :wallbash:
A little margarita madness is what I need to lift up my spirits
Come on help me out
Comment
I need a margarita because several blogs went all wonky this morning and I didn’t figure out why until my fifteenth cup of coffee!
Turns out it wasn’t the blogs, but the server software needed a huge update, and so the server was either slow or worse for a while this morning. After the upgrade, it looks like we’re back to normal. And there’s an update for our users, too!
Walt – Server god, in need of a haircut. and a shot of liquor.
Comment
Great prize! Any day is a good day for margaritas!:devil:

WONDERFUL PRIZE–LOVE MARGARITA’S–NEVER HAD THAT KIND OF
COOKIES, SO WOULD LOVE TO TRY THEM. I WAS WITHOUT A NEW BOOK
TO START ON FOR ONE DAY AND NEARLY WENT NUTS (NUTTER THAN USUAL).
SORRY ABOUT THE BOOK PAGES–HOPE YOU CAN REMEMBER MOST OF
WHAT YOU HAD WRITTEN.

Comment
I’m not a big margarita drinker (can’t handle a lot of the jaw sucking flavor at once), but what is a margarita cookie??
Sorry about the pages. I’ve done it …. on my PC!!! sometimes those short-cut keys aren’t so great
Comment
I so need this. I’m in the middle – nearing the end of a 200 people move at my company. To a new building (completely new) So many things to do so many complaints to listen to…Needless to say
would be a good thing. :)
Of course the book would be great as well.
Have a great weekend everybody, I’ll be working with movers and floor plans. Maybe in another week I’ll actually have time to write.

It’s still morning on the West Coast but boy do beverages sound GREAT at the moment. I feel like “Smokey the Bear”, busy putting out one forest fire after another at work. It figures, since I leave on vacation tomorrow.
Comment
Yep I’m with everybody else on the “I could use one of those!” list. My little brother is becoming a teenager and my mom calls me every day (I live in another state!) to vent. Right now my husband and I are trying to figure out a way to get her down here so she can have a nice vacation before she kills somebody. Drama, drama, drama
Comment
I could use that since it’s my daughter’s senior prom this weekend.
Comment
