Let’s Give Something Away, Shall We?10 Aug 2009 01:57 pm
By The Wiz
Emily Watts has generously donated a copy of her new book- signed and everything! - to one lucky MMW reader. You know the drill, comment and hope! Comments will be open until Monday, Aug.17 at midnight.
(P.S. This is not a “fitness” or “exercise” book. It will not tell you to “feel the burn”, not even once! I know, because I’ve read it.)
Hmmm… I hate it when exercise is the answer too. Too much work.
Comment #1 by Nancy R.August 10th, 2009 at 3:03 pmDitto to comment #1.
Comment #2 by Lisa M.August 10th, 2009 at 3:06 pmI saw this book when I was “window shopping” at the book store. It looks very good.
Here’s hopin’ that #3 is still my lucky number. If not my birthday is coming up… In anycase it looks like a good read.

Comment #24 by JamieAugust 10th, 2009 at 5:17 pmRe the title: Me too!
Comment #25 by carriemAugust 10th, 2009 at 5:19 pmOh, I so want this book. Emily came to our ward a few years back on mothers day. She was lucky to recieve our “regular” mothers day treat from our bishop…a king size cadbury bar re-wrappered with art and “ingredients” and “nutritional info” made just by him. Every year was different.
Comment #26 by Rachel R.August 10th, 2009 at 5:25 pmShe was lucky to be there, because the next year we had a new bishop. And he didn’t happen to be a graphic designer.
I need some soul fitness!

Comment #33 by RachaelAugust 10th, 2009 at 7:22 pmI actually ordered this book last week. It would be fun to get a signed copy.
Comment #34 by dellareyaAugust 10th, 2009 at 7:25 pmI hate it when exercise is the answer too: what a coincidence.

Comment #48 by stacey tateAugust 10th, 2009 at 10:17 pmMy grandma and I were just saying the other day what a great title that is for a book. Exercise is the answer for EVERYTHING - have you noticed? Are you tired? Exercise. Does your tooth hurt? Exercise. GIVE ME A BREAK. Also a book to read while I’m taking that break
