We have a winner from Monday’s post…
The first comment on Monday’s post was Sabrina.
Congrats! I’ll be sending you a copy of my novel, St. Peter’s Brewery, ASAP.
Thanks for all the great suggestions guys (and gals) they were a huge help!
It was one year ago (Dec 2, 2009) that I launched my first novel, St. Peter’s Brewery, into the wild.
I will admit I had high-hopes for the book (I’m sure every author does) but at the end of the day only a “select few” will ever sell more than 100 copies (where’s that stat on Kevin’s website when I need it?). Kevin Hendricks points out that only 79% of all books will sell more than 100 copies.

I’ve never had too many dealings with doctors and health insurance.
The last few years I’ve done my annual checkup/physical every December and I may go see the doctor to get a prescription for a cold or something similar.
And I’ve had several times where I was told by a dentist or doctor’s office that a procedure would be “covered” by my insurance, only to find out later that I would be paying out of pocket for the majority of the cost.
But with the boys, I’m seeing a whole ‘nother side of the health care system.

A while back I shared a simple tip on how to add a Share on Twitter link to your WordPress blog…
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=<?php echo urlencode("Currently reading: "); ?><?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="Share this article with your Twitter followers">Tweet this!</a>
But if your URL’s are too long and you’d like a more concise Tweet — there are a few other options for doing this as well (without using plugins).

We’ve had a lot of people ask what the boys would like for Christmas.
We’re so thankful for all that we’ve been given already and we honestly can’t think of anything they need other than diapers (Pampers – size newborn or 1) and formula (still trying to figure that out).
But as new parents we might be missing some great innovations in parenting.
So I’m curious — if you had $100 to spend on your baby (or babies) what would you buy? Any “must haves?”
Use Amazon’s Baby Store as a pricing guide and let me know what you come up with in the comments below. You don’t have to spend all $100 – but be sure you keep your shopping list under $100.
As an added bonus, I’ll pick one random comment at the end of the week and send that person a copy of my novel, St. Peter’s Brewery.
Forget the huge sales, the Black Friday or Buy Nothing Day trends… this is what kicks the Advent season off for me…
Trombone Shorty and other musicians from New Orleans perform O’ Holy Night on Studio 60:
Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
With all our hearts we praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
His power and glory ever more proclaim!

What is the official start of the Advent Season for you?
