AWESOMENESS, BLOGGERS & PLANETS...

If you've seen my post about Francisca and her goal to help some kids in the Phillipines, and you could help...THANK YOU! And if you couldn't, Thanks for wanting to if you could.

Here's an update...  A  little piece of it taken from her last post, without immediate permission, but she's told me before I could take stuff...I know she'd say it's ok cause that's how she rolls:)

"I am raising funds to get one child OUT of the charcoal factories in the Manila squatter community of Ulingan and INTO school.

I am thrilled that with the contributions of my fellow bloggers and friends I have nearly reached my goal."

AWESOME!


Now look at one of the comments

I can understand why the dragon loved the scenery, Francisca, stunning indeed.
I am equally stunned by the photo of the children in the charcoal factory. Little bitty children. It breaks my heart. I will send the rest of the money you need to get a child out of there.

DOUBLE AWESOME and a half!!

I went to Kay's blog and ya, I'm going to follow her around now:)

How small this planet is when bloggers unite to lend a hand...nothing can top that.....NUTHIN! (and how weird blogger is with fonts!)

Ok, on to life as it is.....
with a big grin on my heart:)

WHAT THE FRACK?

This is for all of you who read my last post, the April Blog Peep, and for anyone else who hasn't clicked on over to visit Dazee yet.....you really need to. She put her *Frack* post on today and all I can do is repeat...What The Frack?

Here's the link....

Just a reminder that They Walk Among Us....

Mwahahaha!
Let me know what you think....

I'M A BULLY........

But it worked!

Ok, here's the scoop. I've been blogging with a gal for awhile and we talked about meeting up for lunch sometime since we're not so far from each other. Maybe you know her...

Crazy Daze and Night Dreams  aka DAZEE

And she's a hoot, both on her blog and for real :)

We decided a few days ago that a weekend would work for us both, and the sooner the better. I wasn't sure which one but...
well, let me share some of Saturday morning's email ....

 DAZEE:
Call me a wuss, but I hate driving in unpredictable icky weather.  Can we make it another Saturday? 

ME:
WUSSIE WUSSIE WUSSIE 
Okfine,  You're off the hook this week. I understand...somewhat. But that's cause I've lived in the mtns most of my life and flip the finger at snow:) I won't be here next weekend and the one after is Turkey time, so we'll just figure out another day, no biggie. Now go find your blankie, stick your thumb in your pouty lil mouth and wait for summer:)

DAZEE:
Well then tell me how bad is the weather on the side of the mountain. You are a big meanie. It's on like donkey kong sister. We are going to meet today whether you want to or not. Now tell me where you want to meet, a time, and bring your weapon of choice!

Mwahahahaaa, I'm such a bully:)

But WTH, it was sunny here on the desert.

So, we met in Tooele, which is about halfway, at Applebees

First thing I noticed was we drive the same make of car...ok, her's is an SUV. And that neither of us wore a coat. Even the guy who seated us commented on that.  Wuss....

We lucked out and got a cute little waitress who's originally from California...Lizzie

So we talked and ordered lunch and talked and talked and talked. We have way lots in common. I was surprised. Guess I'm not the only weird one:) And why didn't we get pictures of our lunch? It was yummy spinach dip and a pasta dish and we both took most of that home. But, we did get some dessert. Ya, we couldn't resist... but we shared it, this is from my side...

Looks like a mutant snowman with no arms. Or buttons, or face....but see the tie? Hmmm, might be a Sailor snowman.....with a dirty cap...

Looks more exotic comfy from Dazee's side...

And she likes to take pictures more than me.

 I'm always too busy yackin...

I thought I'd better archive the remains:)

And yes, I GOT THE LAST BITE OF ICE CREAM....woot woot:)

And of course, we split the ticket....

And....

She's soooo into that camera !!

We finally got someone else to take our picture, and we had to have Lizzie with us:)

I felt the need for a whole bench seat to myself, Lizzie is smiling big and Dazee is showing some cleavage.... What more fun could new blog friends have for a first time!

Oh, and before I go, here's a picture of the icky weather out the window at Applebee's. If ya look really really close, ya might see a little flake......

And my sunshiny trip home...

And proof that I DIDN'T wear flip flops!

MWAHAHAHAAAA:)

You might want to go visit DAZEE's post on this. I'm sure she'll have a different take on it, probably tell you she couldn't wait to get away from such a dingbat ....


btw, my weapon of choice was a big hug when we met...
And in her defense, she did hit some stormyness from her side of the mountain. That's her story and she's stickin to it :)

So, how was your weekend?

NEW FRIENDS..........

Met another Blog friend on Tuesday....JANN from
  have a daily cup from Mrs. Olson

Story is, she was having a giveaway for a cute lil apron . Another gal won it, but had the choice of that one or a Christmas one. She picked the latter. So I emailed Jann and asked if it might be up for sale...the first one:)

Yep. And it turns out we don't live so far from each other. So I fanagled a day off from work, cause of what day it was, :) and met Jann. She brought another friend...just in case I was a wacked out crazy mad woman....and we did lunch! Ok, so she brought Ann along with a camera. And we only got two pictures cause we ate and talked instead....

That's Ann in red. the wacked out crazy mad woman in yellow....


And the adorable apron Jann's cousin made that I put over my Sweater Poncho, cause it was cold....

The one that's hanging in my kitchen right now:)

 What's wrong (in some eyes) with this picture ??   Mwahahaha!!!

It was fun getting to know Jann. She's a cutie and I'm sure we'll do lunch again sometime.
