They are the lucky recipients of a copy of "Trunk Music" by Michael Connelly, the second selection from The Baroness Book Giveaway. Thanks to the lovelies at Hachette Book Group , too, for taking care of all of the administrative mumbo-jumbo. Been there, done that, dragged the inebriated boss out the local bar for her 4:00 pm meeting (silly cow)(her,not me), bought the designer t-shirt.
Believe me when I say that this is best left in the hands of professionals...

My favorite Halloween costume was when I morphed my dress from my first wedding into the ultimate costume.... Dead Bride!
I even had tire tracks across the front of the dress from an apparently altercation as I left the cemetary.
And yes, the whole ensemble spoke volumes regarding my thoughts re: my first husband!
Yay! I was Dolly Parton one year and Scarlett O'Hara the next. They were both my faves as they were and are indomitable Southern Ladies.
Sent you an email! The boobs have to win!
My entry is on its way to a Bat-mailbox near you!
Peace - D
Countess AG: Tire tracks? Nice touch! The bigger the drama, the better the outfit.
Countess MPM: Me lovee the Southern Belle! And, although I've never met you before in my life, I bet you were a fahn suthun genteelwoman.
(I've been smitten w/the South for a very long time -did I mention that when I was little, I had a crush on Foghorn Leghorn? I say!)
Countess iPost: This note is both funny and slightly squidgey - I am not about to comment on boobs, real or otherwise...
Countess D: I'm sending Alfred to receive the message as I write this...
Hello! I sent you an email with mailing addy I didn't want to post it here for all you stalkers out there LOL! My fav. was this year... my son went as a cereal killer.
