Janelle’s Friday Jungle Madness Contest!
It’s summertime! Well, almost. In about another week so close enough, LOL. So, to get ready to celebrate the upcoming summer months, this week I’m giving away a “summertime” gift package, complete with a large 6 foot beach/pool towel, two beach anthologies including stories by moi (PERFECT FOR THE BEACH & SURF’S UP), and a luxurious orange and cinnamon shower gel and rich body balm to pamper your skin after a day in the sun!
All you have to do to enter is post anything on today’s blog. Then be sure to check back on Sunday when we post the winner of today’s contest!
Am I first??? Hope everyone has a great weekend. I’m starting mine by making a pyramid-shaped cake for my daughter’s birthday today. She’s totally into Egypt lately. How do I get myself in to these things??

Happy Memorial Day! I am #2 - Just like Joey Fatone. He was great!
Comment by Pat L. — May 25, 2007 @ 7:19 am
Every summer I wish I lived at the Beach. Just the thought of sitting on the beach all day enjoying the sun, listening to the surf and the salty smell of the ocean can relax me. Happy Memorial Day! All you beach people soak up some rays for me.

A quick note before I have to finish packing to go to a wedding - 4 hr. drive to near Daytona Beach. I can’t believe it’s summer already! It was just Christmas! Anyway, another winner prize package, Janelle.

Comment by Carolyn A. — May 25, 2007 @ 10:12 am
Summer is my favorite time of year and I enjoy relaxing at the beach. Haven’t been for two years and just loved the entire 10 days we were there. Have a lovely holiday weekend.
Comment by diane — May 25, 2007 @ 10:13 am
I love the summer…I love being outdoors and being more active. love the fresh veggies and fruits. I love cooking outdoors and sleeping outdoors. I grew up in the hot, sultry summers of Illinois, but now I live in the mountains. Once we get to summer, it is pretty much perfect. Sunny, cloudless days and cooler evenings. It is just getting to summer. This spring we had an unusually warm month, several days in the high 70s. I was loving it. But it is the holiday weekend, which means we have snow, rain and cold.

This would be a great prize to win especially since I am going to panama city next week! I could really use a new beach towel and a couple of books to read while I’m sitting under my umbrella!

If anyone needs a great read, read LORI BORRILL’S book (I finally got around to reading it). I couldn’t put it down…….I don’t get paid for this ad….lol! She has a great future!!!!
Comment by katie — May 25, 2007 @ 11:25 am
I’ll be working Monday but I’m celebrating on Sunday with a big family cookout at my house. (I have the pool)

I can’t believe summer is here. My Mom lives at the beach so I always have some place to stay. Nothing is more relaxing than spending a day lounging by the water! Happy Memorial Day to Everyone!

Hope everyone has a great weekend
Comment by Beth Reimer — May 25, 2007 @ 1:02 pm
Are you in the summer mindset too? Forget summer solstice. Summer should be defined as Memorial Day to Labor Day. Period.
Did you check out SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE? You had to love the guy who said he could swing, and later came back with his buddy from the dance school to give it his best shot.
Enjoy the weekend.
Comment by Patricia W — May 25, 2007 @ 1:30 pm
It’s SO time for me to be outside! I’m so white I look like I’ve time travelled from 15th century England. Really great prizes today and I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful Memorial Weekend!

Cool Prize! I am a beach happy kind of gal with my orange/lime color flip-flops, sunglasses, tall cool glass of lemonade on the rocks, and a fave book to read. Of course my beach experience wouldn’t be complete without my favorite reclining beach chair that sits nice and close to the water’s edge.
Oh what fun if I won to drape that pretty towel over my chair or to cuddle up in! Also, the books would be absolutely perfect since I don’t own them yet. Count me in on the FUN IN THE SUN beach prize! :cocktail:
