			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I haven&#8217;t blogged much this week. Quite honestly I feel that I haven&#8217;t had anything worthwhile to add to the interwebs. Not that I ever do, but I&#8217;m tired, busy and emotionally drained. Welcome to life as a 33-year-old student.</p>
<p>Last night I logged into my blog email and found the below email. I was reminded that I really do have the best blog readers. Sure, I get the occasional hate mail and comments that leave me gasping for air, but it&#8217;s the good stuff that makes blogging worth it.</p>
<p>Thanks to reader Chris for making life just a little brighter. I&#8217;m going to drink a glass of wine in your honor. You know the one with a kangaroo on the bottle. Or is it a wallaby? I get that so confused.<em><br />
</em></p>
<p><em>Dear Miss Nielson, </em></p>
<p><em>I&#8217;m writing to you from Australia as I quite literally just stumbled across you on twitter&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em>Which has now lead me here and I felt it would be a crime to not&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em>1)  Mention that your tweets rock!<br />
2)  &#8230; actually I have no point 2&#8230; which now begs the question&#8230; why have I been such a douche bag and written in point form&#8230;?</em></p>
<p><em>Anyway love the blog so just thought I would drop you a line and tell you that your work is&#8230; kinda like a hot tub filled with melted chocolate and naked midgets!</em></p>
<p><em>Seriously love it!</em></p>
<p><em>Anyway have a beautiful weekend!</em></p>
<p><em>Chris</em></p>
<p><em>P.S.  Your profile photo is criminal!!!  (We use the word &#8216;criminal&#8217; over here in Aus sometimes instead of &#8216;hot&#8217; and now I have successfully chalked up douche bag comment no.2 for using a douche bag word like &#8216;criminal&#8217;)</em></p>
<p><em>P.P.S  Please ignore the first P.S.</em></p>

This girl was incredibly sad until she found that pseudo sisters were even better than the real thing. She made a point to surround herself with strong, talented and loving woman. One of these women is a talented clothing designer named Suzanne.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Suzanne has been designing and sewing clothes for years. When she was designing under her last label Drop Dead she let me play model for a night in one of her fashion shows. That&#8217;s how much she loves me. I didn&#8217;t fall down the stairs. That&#8217;s how much I love her!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Suzanne would do anything for me. And I her. Which made it easy to talk her into sponsoring a giveaway. This is awesome news for y’all!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Two winners will receive shirts from Suzanne&#8217;s new clothing line &#8220;Sorry Clementine.&#8221; She will contact the winners for measurements and favorite colors so she can construct the perfect shirt for you. One of a kind, yo!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--></p>
<p>You can comment as often as you like. I will close the contest on Friday at noon. Using a randomizer I will choose two winners. Trust me, you soooo want to be one of those winners. I have a few items she has made me over the years and they remain some of my favorites.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Check out her new<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7799355"> Sorry Clementine Clothing Etsy Shop</a> to see what kind of clothing she designs. If you&#8217;re a SLC local you can visit her booth at <a href="http://www.craftlakecity.com/">Craft Lake City</a> on Saturday, August 8 from 2 p.m -10 p.m. at The Gallivan Center. I will be!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Help Suzanne get the word out about her new line. Retweet this giveaway link (short link: <!-- m --><a href="http://bit.ly/irMFR">http://bit.ly/irMFR</a><!-- m -->) on Twitter with #sorryclementine after the link. You never know what kind of goodies you&#8217;ll get out of it. If you want to follow Suzanne on Twitter go <a href="http://twitter.com/SorryClementine">here.</a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now get commenting.</p>
