I think we’ve established with the laundry soap exhibit that I’m slightly different than the rest of my human counterpoints ;) Another case in point? I don’t like blog give aways. WHAT!?  They just annoy me. When I navigate to one of the few blogs I follow and get all excited about a new post only to see a give away I feel cheated! It’s just not my thing — I’m nuts, I know.

All that being said, I have a giveaway. shut up! Backstory: I have been looking into how the church portrays women and the role they play inside the church. A good friend of mine brought this up to me and shed some light on an issue I had (quite frankly) forgotten about because it’s a non issue at my own church.

But what he said kept bouncing around in my head and my feministic, rebellious, teen angst-y side started the inner dialogue. I am still doing my research and refining  my thoughts, but in the course of my research I came across this book: Unladylike: Resisting the Injustice of Inequality in the Church by Pam Hogeweide. In a true blonde moment, I managed to order two of them. I am too lazy busy to actual return one of them, so I’m giving it away. Email me with your name and address if you would like it, first come first served.  ChristiMadrid {at} gmail dot! com. Please make the email subject Unladylike. It’ll raise some eyebrows if my husband sees a bunch of emails titled Unladylike ;)

I am very much looking forward to delving into this book and reviving a subject that I used to be much more openly passionate about. AND, since kiddo is out of school and spending the next 2 weeks at her moms house, I have plenty of time (ha ha) to sip a cup of tea and lounge around the house. Because you know women who don’t work outside the home have SO much more time on their hands ;)
