Little Bit O Bloggy Bizzness…

I have so much to share with you today, that I have two choices… combine them all into one post or have five different posts.  I’ve opted for one post.  It’s easier and then I don’t blow up your feed reader.  You can thank me later.

There’s a Contest Going On…

Since I’ve celebrated my 600th post (and can you believe I’m nearing my 6,000th comment?) I’ve got just a little giveaway going on here… unfortunately, you’ll have to make it through the pictures of my applying my makeup… it’s worth it though.  So go and enter…   The contest is open until Thursday…

Blog Pick of the Week…

Yeah, yeah, I didn’t do a blog pick of the week last week.  Shame on me.  I was preoccupied with other things…

However, this week… I want you to visit last week’s pick’s mother… did you get all that?  Last week was Heidi over at Frantically Simple and this week it’s her mother.  Hop over to see Charlene at Grandma’s Zoo and then be jealous that Heidi’s mom is funnier than your mom.    (Although, I’m not quite sure she’s funnier than my mom, because my mom is pretty funny. )

Leave her a comment… she’s a new blogger too and I know that she’ll enjoy them.  And laugh.  But you won’t have to force yourself to do that because, well, it will just happen.

Straight From the Heart…

I’m kidless this afternoon and I’ve been taking care of some things, reading a few blogs, etc and I came across something at Lisa B.’s simply His blogger… it’s called Straight From the Heart.  I’m ashamed that I’ve not told you about this yet… because Lisa B., as you know, is a very important part of my life and somehow I have missed her feed on this blog and I’ve missed out on some AWESOME interviews, including one with Shannon @ Rocks in My Dryer.  So sorry, Lisa… but you could’ve mentioned it…

Go.. read… now.  Thank you.

Revolutionary Open House…

And one of the reasons that I’ve been so busy is that I’ve been preparing for the first ever open house for the Virtual Assistant Revolution.  It’s a site for Virtual Assistants, by Virtual Assistants who want to take their VA businesses to new heights.  If you’re a VA or know a VA or just want to come see what it’s all about, we invite you to RSVP here… because there will be prizes… oh yes there will!  (Of course, if you’re not a business owner, you might not care for any of the prizes….)

Trip Down South…

The kids and I are going to be trekking from here to Jackson, Mississippi June 27th-July 10th and if you’re on our route, we’d love to meet you… can I tell you that this was my son’s idea to post about it?  We’ll be going from here to Atlanta and then from Atlanta to Jackson… and from Jackson to Memphis to Knoxville to home on the way back… if we can make it work, let’s do it…   More details to follow, but we’re in the planning stages now… so let’s make something work.

Where He Met Me Winner…

And then there’s the last outstanding issue of who gets the prize in the Where He Met Me Carnival that I had last week.  I need you to know that I was blown away by the testimonies that were shared.  They were encouraging, inspiring, and uplifting and I know that many have been blessed this week by them.  I thank you all for participating…   I decided to pick two from the list, using Random.org and so, please say congrats to Alana and Cathy.  And go read their stories… please…

That’s all I got.

I become a Middle School Mom tomorrow.  Pray for me… and I’ll have more on that.  And… I’ve taken some time off to get this house in order BEFORE the children mess it up.

Have a blessed week!

Until next time…
