I’m running around like a chicken with my head cutoff…you know why? No, it has nothing to do with taxes (this time). I’m going on a trip!
This weekend I’m going up to Virginia to stay in a cabin with my care group from church. I’m really looking forward to it as a break from the normal. Have a wonderful weekend!
Oh, and the winner of Radical Womanhood is…
Lora! Congratulations!

Okay, I’ve hardly been around the blogosphere in the past week(s), but I’m giving you something special today.
A giveaway.
As a part of the SITS Spring Fling, I’m giving away a copy of the best book I’ve read so far in 2009 (and I’ve read 20, so I have some room to talk).
The book is Radical Womahood by Carolyn McCulley. To learn more about this book, check out my review.
To enter this giveaway, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post. For kicks, mention what you think is the most rewarding or most difficult part of being a woman. (Though I’m not necessarily limiting this review to ladies, I assume that it’s primarily ladies who are interested in this book.)
Fine Print: Comments will be open until 5 PM EDT, Thursday, March 12th. This contest is open to residents of the US and Canada.

Well, obviously from last night the winner is NOT OU. But let’s put that behind us, shall we?
First of all, staying up late last night to watch the end of the game (and an episode of The Office to get me to calm down enough to sleep…the game was a nail-biter!) did nothing for the cold I’m harboring. It’s back today in full force. Here’s to a good night’s sleep tonight, and a weekend of little to do!
Secondly, thanks for letting me know what you are working on improving!
The number one area that you said you wanted to work on was losing weight, getting healthy (17 people). After that, the areas you wanted to improve in are:
Family relationships (14 people)
Organization (14 people)
Relationship with God (12 people)
Learning/improving an art/craft (7 people)
Saving/earning more money (6 people)
Improving your writing/blogging (5 people)
Learning to relax more and/or worry less (5 people)
Increasing your patience (4 people)
Improving your relationships outside your family (3 people)
Reading more (2 people)
Improving your photography (2 people)
I wish you all the best in pursuing these areas!
But you didn’t come to this post to see all that. So, And now it’s time for what you’ve been waiting for (I feel like Ryan Seacrest right now)…
Out of 178 entries, the winner of the $50 giftcard to Target is…
Congrats Hi-D…shoot me an email (ronnica @ ignoranthistorian . com) with your address, and I’ll get that out to you shortly!
(fine print: If I don’t hear back from her by Wednesday, I’ll pick someone new. But don’t count on that!)

As you have probably figured out by now, I’m new here at Ignorant Historian. Obviously, my library is filled with past volumes from Tale of a Kansas Girl, but the library itself is new. So I need a little help.
One of the problems with changing blogs is losing your audience. Now, if you’re here, you’ve made the transition with me, and I thank you. But in order to make the transition complete, I need all eyes on me. Oh wait, sorry, fell into my teacher-voice. But I think what I’ve about to say will give you cause to pay attention.
I’m giving away a $50 Target gift card. Yessiree.
You can receive entries by:
- Commenting on this post. Easy peasy. I’d love for you to tell me one area you would like to grow in/improve in 2009. Maybe a habit or hobby you’d like to add/subtract or a personal characteristic you’d like to grow in.
- Updating your blogroll link to link to Ignorant Historian, not Tale of a Kansas Girl. If you have already done it, good for you, and that counts, too. If you never linked to me in the first place, you can link up to me now for this entry.
- Update your reader to this blog if you haven’t already done so. If I wasn’t in your reader before, add me now and that’ll count too. If you already updated your reader, than let me know that and you get this entry, too.
- Blog about this contest, with a link back here.
If you do/have done any of the last three options, leave a separate comment for each one. I will be closing entries at 5 PM Eastern, Friday, January 9th. This contest is open to anyone with access to a Target.
Thanks for updating your links to Ignorant Historian!
