International Charm Day, April 28th

So what could be more fun on April 28th then celebrating International Charm Day?? I Ask you?? Nothing... well unless it's your birthday maybe :)

Amber Dawn has put together a huge charm party to celebrate the day. How about heading over to her party blog to see what's up and what delightful plans she has put together?? Then sign on along with blogs from all over Bloglandia for a bit of fun!! Why you could even put together your own activity to help celebrate :) Ready? Set? Race you to the Blog button, what? where? oh for heaven sakes just open your eyes!!!

Jackie P is scheduled for surgery at O'Dark Thirty tomorrow. The surgeon isn't sure whether her bone can be pinned or will have to have a prosthesis to replace the head of the bone. So we will see when we see tomorrow. Depending on how much work is done will dictate how much her BFF will be playing nurse :) I know every one's plates are always spilling over but if you have a spare minute or two to think please send a bit of positive chi to a very exceptional example of a genuine good and caring person :)

Have a most audacious today or tomorrow depending on where in the world you are ;)

Hope the surgery on your friend goes well and that it "merely" needs to be pinned.; April 23, 2009 at 11:32 PM

Just stopping by for a hug. I PROMISE to attend the charm party, but this morning a great show with friends beacons.

On my to-do list of projects is figuring out how to have labels allow friends (or me!) to click and visit posts on that same topic on my blog. I know it must be easy ... I probably just didn't read the directions very carefully. ME??

Ha Ha!

As a matter of fact, I JUST NOW -- for the VERY FIRST TIME -- in the I don't know how many kagillion times visiting -- read your road directions. OMG! I AGREE and LOVE THEM!!

I fear some plagerism might be sprouting ... althought if you give credit it's not really bad .... right?

Well -- time to hop in the shower. It's almost 7 AM and I want to be welcome at the show! Let's hope for a good hair day, fun visiting new and old pals, and some thrify treasures.

HUGS to you and prayers for today and everyday.

Much Love,

p.s. Your "love package" is growing by leaps and bounds..I crammed more into today. I think the box is definitely going to have to be bigger!; April 25, 2009 at 5:42 PM

The Velveteen Rabbit

What is REAL?" asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?"
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"
"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."
