Drum roll please...

For the first time EVER, Generation Xhausted is having a CONTEST!!!!

According to the Internets, this coming Friday, March 31, 2006 is She's Funny That Way Day, created to pay tribute to the humorous nature of women.

Being a fan of Funny Ladies Who Blog, I want to celebrate!

Do you know a blogger who's One Funny Lady? Is there someone whose posts Always Make You Smile? Who's the one who Leaves You Laughing?

Here's your chance to tell the world about Your Favourite Funny Girl. I want to know who she is, and so does everyone else!

Here's how it's going to work:

- Pick your favourite Funny Girl and write a blog post telling your readers who she is and why you think the gal's a hoot. Your post should include a link to her blog and a link to Tales From Generation Xhausted, so others know how to enter She's Funny That Way.

- Got more than one favourite funny gal? Write a separate post for each one.

- Send me an email, or leave a comment with a link to your post(s). I'll list your links here throughout the week, so others can find you and your Funny Girl.

On the evening of Friday, March 31, 2006, I'll do a random drawing, (using the very scientific method of names written on scraps of paper, scrunched up, and pulled out of a hat by my nine-year old) of everyone who's sent me a link to their blog post about their favourite Funny Girl. Each post gets a seperate entry into the draw.

To be eligible for the draw, I must receive your links by 4 p.m. Eastern time, Friday, March 31, 2006.

The winner receives a FREE signed copy of Generation Xhausted: 30 Stories For 30-Somethings by Shelley Divnich Haggert (hey that's me!) and one copy of an as-yet-undecided book by another writer who's funny that way. (but I promise, she'll be a hoot too)

So what are you waiting for? Tell us why She's Funny That Way. Share the laughter - don't be shy!

I only read your blog and I think you have that link, and I already bought 12 copies of the book, but they all went to funny ladies without their own blogs. Aw well I guess that doesn't count as a new link eh?

Not a blog but may be something for the Gen Exhausted. Turn the chore of mealtime into quality time with your kids! Spatulatta.com teaches kids to cook with 5 downloadable step by step videos every two weeks. The hosts 8 year-old Livvy and 10 year-old Belle were just nominated for the prestigious James Beard Award. They're rubbing elbows with Emril and the hotest cooks.

This is a really cool idea! I found links back to you all over the blogoshere. I nominated 2 very funny friends of mine who never fail to make me laugh.

Also, I added you to my blogroll because I think that you are a very funny blogging gal yourself!

Whoops, something went wrong and both tracebacks were the same URL. Here is the second one.
