THIS?

Go to Kelly Confidential quick…there’s only a few more days to enter. Just thought I’d share the domestic love, ya’ll! Hubby and I were just drooling over these on Sunday at Lowe’s. They are gorgeous! Yes, I know it’s just household slave machinery. But I’m a practical gal! 🙂

Oh and the best part. For every cupcake you create and send….. Electrolux will donate $1 to fight ovarian cancer. Amazing!

Good luck!

I am not above begging! As a matter of fact……I’ll get down and grovel with the worst of people. I WANT TO GO TO BLOGHER 09 IN CHICAGO THIS SUMMER! I can’t adequately describe how badly, but I’m going to try. My pleas will be read by the sweet folks at Extraordinary Mothers blog. They are offering some sweet lucky blogger the chance at a free pass (ummm that pass costs $198 bucks). Can you believe that? I’m psyched! So, here goes:

1) I’m a blogger that would totally benefit in every way by attending the event. I’m new this year to the whole blog scene, but I’m a quick learner and I’m mad about the blogging concept. In other words, I’m a sold out blogging fanatic!

2) I recognize that in order for me to better ME, I need these fellow blogging geniuses help. There will be a potpourri of brilliant blogging brains there to network and rub elbows with all the while making me into a smarter more knowledgable blogger.

3) It’s the MacDaddy of blogging events. Duh! I knew this from the moment I first landed on the blogging scene. I may be a newbie….but I’m not a dummie! Everybody who’s anybody talks sweet smack about the Blogher events. I missed it last summer….but I heard about it all over the blogosphere! Vowing to BE THERE next time. It’s been my goal!

4) I’m looking for a way to tweak my talent. I’ve found blogging to be a great outlet for my gift of gab but I’ve also recognized that it could be so much better than just that. I want to ROCK IT!

5) My oldest will leave home for college in August. I’m going to need this pass! I’ll need some serious fun to divert my heart from jumping out of my chest. That’s why I say…Blogher 09 is tugging at my heart! I’m desperate, ya’ll!

PICK ME!!!!!!!!

I’m not one to follow usually…but come on! All I hear about is Twitter! “I’ll be on twitter” or “Follow me on twitter”. I feel so left out. I couldn’t just go on lost out here in the bloggy kingdom without catching my own twitter star. So…..don’t get too excited, but soon I’ll be twitter savvy too and I’ll be leaving my own little “catch me on twitter” messages for the world to see. I hope to make it a fun addition to my blog/facebook life. Will I do it justice? Probably not. I’m still learning, remember? Be patient with me. I have to fiddle with it to really figure it out. Practice makes perfect, right? So…I’m off to do just that.

Oh…..see you on Twitter, friends!

We are a vain family of girls (my daughter’s and I). We really like lookin good. Who doesn’t right? I mean come on, lookin good makes you feel good. Don’t you think? One way of lookin good is a sweet tan. Since we live in Indiana (and we woke up to more snow this morning) it’s a bit difficult to be bronzed up without cheating and hitting the tanning bed. I know….the tanning bed is evil! (Nana….I hear you!)

Tonight as I was winding down and ready to head to my room for some good tv viewing pleasure….Gates came in to ask if she could have a friend over after the dance tomorrow. Oh and can she come now with her mom to do my spray tan? This wasn’t a total surprise, just it was around 7:30ish and I was already in bed mode. No biggie, sure!

Over came the sweetest home tanning lady ever, ya’ll! She brought her little set-up in and the whole process took minutes. Really! I couldn’t help myself….I had to take a picture! Gates is so hilarious! She is so pale right now that we tease her that she’s clear except for the freckles. Poor kid, my legacy lives on. She’ beautiful! The spray is all organic and lasts for a few weeks. It’s not orangey or stripedy. The skin darkens over several hours to look like a natural tan. She was so excited! The whole thing cost $15 dollars.

Did I mention SHE CAME TO MY HOUSE? Now that’s great service. Avon…..move over honey! It’s 2009 and spray tan’s are calling.

It’s been one of those days! Just rotten! I want to go to bed and cry. My head hurts, my mind is spinning and I just feel overwhelmed. I need something to snap me out of it. Life has a way of racing ahead of us sometimes. So when it does….maybe we just need a good laugh to bring things back into perspective. Besides, nothing’s too big for God to handle anyway, right?

Lord, I’m leaning on you tonight. Thanks for reminding me to not take life so seriously. I love the peace that only comes from you. Help me feel it now. Amen.

Hope you crack up…..this is my girl’s favorite SNL skit eeeeeever! 🙂
