we have a winner.

Oh, this is so exciting!

I have been looking forward to this alldayspice.

I'm pleased as punch to announe that the winner of my bithday/ 100 followers giveaway is none other than...

Tina Lynn Sandoval!

To whom it may concern, I assigned numbers to each entrant. Tina Lynn had numbers 38-42 for her five entries. Then, I used random.org to select the winner. Out of a whopping 79 entries total, number 42 was selected. Now, she thought she only deserved 4 entries because instead of just saying I was pretty she said: #amberishot.

I gave her five anyway. It's my blog, so I reserved the right to do that. Kthanx.

The thought of vlogging my karaoke dedication to my sweetest niblet has me feeling a bit weepyspice. I can't wait to go out and get my sing-song on. Let me just say, though, that it may be a few weeks before I can deliver on this promise. I am recovering from some nasty sickness in which I cough up my lung on the regular. You'll all just have to be patient.

So, Teener, here's what I need from you!
Email me your home addy. You can send that to ambertiddmurphy@gmail.com or just message me on facebook. (Preferred.) I also need to know what you would like your poem to be about! Suggested topics are love or being a writer/ the art of writing.

Once I have that information, I'll be mailing you a package which shall include the hand-written Shakespeare love-quote frame, the $25.00 VISA giftcard, the poem, and a special mystery surprise!

Congrats, little nib!

Hosting this giveaway was super fun.
Thanks to everyone who entered!
You, dear readers, are the bomb-diggity. Seriously, I'm blown away by your love and affection.
Go on. Pat yourselves on the back.
Put your arms around yourself and do the fake make-out dance.
I'll wait.

fetal friday?

I know that I left everyone hanging yesterday. You know, when I went to pee on that stick. (That was mean of me. Not the peeing, but the leaving hanging.) Well, I think the big reveal is best expressed in letter form. Deep breath. Here goes. dear unborn baby daughter son or daughter, I take it back. I take back everything I said about not wanting kids. I was just scaredspice, and the slightest bit selfish, and maybe I had a giant fear of commitment. But, three positive test results in the last eighteen hours seem to say that you actually are in there, getting all comfy. I guess you'll probably be here in mid-December. I never thought about having a Christmas baby. (You've really put a wrench in my whole taking-maternity-leave-during-the-NCAA-tournament plan, but that's okay. At least it's basketball season. Don't tell Daddy yet, but you are going to cheer for the Indiana Hoosiers.) Speaking of Daddy, I take back all the mean things I've ever sa...

Brett and Alice's Writing Style is the Real Crime Here

Here is a nearly sentence-by-sentence reconstruction of Brett and Alice's most recent episode of their podcast "The Prosecutors" - titled Adnan Syed is Guilty. I will not be utilizing the strikethrough in every sentence but will do so when I am compelled and will try to bold sections I've added. I've highlighted some of my favorite and most poignant edits.  I've tired and failed to stay away from a bit of snark. This endeavor was exhausting.  My work will illustrate how Brett Talley and Alice LaCour use narrative spin to bring you their version of events that they want to, for whatever reason, call "facts." I start just before the 4 minute mark.  Transcript So,, Adnan Syed and Hae Min Lee dated for quite some time  when they were in high school, starting around March 1998. They’d stay together for the next 9 months or so, though they broke up twice during that period.   They were on-again off-again until around Halloween and broke up for good before...
