If so, ask South County Girl — she has an extra ticket, now that she’s been declared the winner of the AMC movie giveaway.

The winners.
I wish I had unlimited prizes so that everyone could be a winner. I don’t. Is it too corny to say I think you’re all winners?
(It is? Well, too late. I just said it.)
Here’s how the first-anniversary giveaway turned out:
Anniversary giveaway update.
There’s still time to enter this much-larger-than-usual giveaway — and in fact, it just got a little larger.
7 money tips from the U.K. trip.
Melinda is the winner of “Shooting Bears: The Adventures of a Wildlife Photographer.” And here’s a hint about this Friday’s giveaway: It’s also a book, one with a personal-finance/frugality theme — and the author is willing to personalize it.
I haven’t been posting as much as I usually do because, well, I’m bushed. It’s taking a surprising amount of time to shake off the fatigue that followed my three-week trip, during which I pushed myself pretty hard.
One more mention of the U.K. and then I’ll get back to my usual mix of PF/lifeitsownself. Here are 7 things I learned across the pond:
Giveaway: Another $20 Amazon.com gift card.
Well, why not? Everyone seems to love these things.

Let’s make this clear: I don’t read romance novels. But a woman I know does. No. Seriously! It’s not me!
Check out her post, “What you should be reading for Christmas,” either as an occasion for hilarity or a chance to make a reading list. Romances aren’t my cup of (overly sweetened) tea, but they might be yours.
And yeah, Christmas has come and gone – but Valentine’s Day awaits.

Giveaway: Godiva chocolate.
“Blue Monday,” aka the most depressing day of the year, is coming up fast. Godiva chocolate could be the antidote.
Giveaway: Of moose and women.
I’ll be heading back to Seattle soon, but I can’t leave the Last Frontier without giving away some Alaskana.
Tuesday short takes. (Now with more moose!)
MJ is the winner of the box o’ Christmas oddities, courtesy of RetailMeNot.com. I just returned from the post office. Maybe there will be a Christmas miracle, i.e., it will get there on time.
