It's a BIRTHDAY PARRRTTYYYY.... (still contacts only, though!)

just a quick note all... soon as I post this & clear my messages... I'm not going to be on the computer the rest of the night.

I'm about to cry because I'm having an extremely bad CM day!! Even the sound of my own typing is too much for my ears today.

If it wasn't for the fact that I had to make a change on Hubby's club site, I would not have even turned on $hiba... but since I did... I feel the need to clear out my messages & emails.

SO... if you get an abrupt reply from me... I'm sorry. I just am in a hurry to lay back down.
(I'll delete this part later)

*HUGS* to all. (I am not leaving this open for comments... as I've said before I know you all wish me the best & I know you all want me to hurry back, & yet take my time to get better.)

Actually... you know what... I think I will leave the comments open... but please... no "get well" or any messages like that... just going to leave it open so you all can have fun... & maybe when I return tomorrow I can join in on the fun.

I leave you all with some chocolate covered chocolate & milk.... & coffee... & decaf... & cola... & whatever else you can find. (Feel free to add what you want to the mix!)

*puts on some SOFT playing soothing background music*
So, I guess you can consider this a BLOG party... without all the fancy pictures & music!

Have fun ya all! (Again, please, no need to mention any "get well" or "hurry back" or "take your time"... I'm not posting this for any "sympathy" comments.)

**********************
I'm turning this into a full out BLOG BIRTHDAY party for our favorite monkey girl... EMMA!!!

I was thinking tomorrow was her birthday... but it's TODAY... Wednesday, May 20th!! (So, let's carry on with the party... & this can continue right through next week... because next Wednesday is SMUDGES birthday!!

So, let's continue to have fun... I'll post some cake in a few... I'll tell the birthday girls to stop by, too! :)

*HUGS*

Let's get this PARRRTY started...

It's a week, no a MONTH of Birthdays!!

March is a BIRTHDAY BONANZA!! Well, it seems like it to me... A lot of my friends are having birthdays this month!! (Alright, yeah, I'm a little partial since this is my birthday month too!!)

Let's start with little miss Amy!! TOMORROW is her birthday! She does not have a public blog anymore... so, I won't link her, but you can find her in my contacts. If you're a mutual friend... please go leave her a message or 2 to brighten her day. (I may have a birthday party blog up later tomorrow for her & my other friend.)

Passion Wolf is the other friend... her birthday is Saturday!! Her & I are both celebrating a big milestone this year.

Oh, I see that the Dancer (Linda) has her b-day on Friday!! With 3 friends celebrating this week... sounds like a good reason for a PARRRRTTTY!!

Sunday is Kitty Biscuits (not to be confused with KittyChile!!) day... & Denise is next Tuesday & next Thursday is Katha's!!

WOWWEE!! Lots o' BIRTHDAYS!!

Sounds like this is going to be a month long party!!

Let me see... let me go find a few things for this party...

(Feel free to post SMALL birthday graphics here. However, it will be more advantageous to go post them on the ladies guestbook's than here!)

We need a little music...

& a little bit of food.

Instead of a chocolate fountain this time... I'm bringing in a CHOCOLATE POOL!!!

ENJOY!!

That's all I'm putting out for now... Only because I know many of you will bring along your own goodies. (If you post a picture... please remember to keep it small... so as not to slow down the loading of this page.)

Rules of the party... Have fun, keep comments decent (obscene & profanity free)... & HAVE FUN!!!
(Disclaimer: Photos found in Google Images... Except the 1st one, it's from Glitter-Graphics.com)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA DI!!!!! (SURPRISE!!!)

Well Mama, did we surprise you?? Did you think we forgot or didn't know it was YOUR DAY??? NOT HARDLY!!!

I don't want to waist anytime with "rules"... I think you all know how this works!! (If not, just ask!)... Let's get this party started...

1st we need to set out the grub... & first & foremost we need them Purple Angel Smoothies for our honored guest...

& then let's get some food...

We can't forget the cake!!


Then we have a special treat flown in from Australia... (better hurry Mama... I may just snag them all for myself!!)



Ok... I think that will do it... oh...wait... we need music...


Now... let's get started... On the count of three... Everyone get ready... she's on her way here!!!

1... 2... 3....

SURPRISE!!!

SHHHH .... It's a surprise... PARTY TIME ON MONDAY...

At some point on Monday I will be posting a blog to honor our favorite Purple Angel's (Quiet Warrior / Mama Di) birthday... ... not sure just yet how we'll keep it a surprise until she arrives... I'll figure it out!

Anyway, Caghs wanted me to get the word out early... So... now, I ask you to help me... will you please pass the word along.... Let's make this a big party for her! :o)

Please do NOT .... I repeat do NOT put this in a mass message... put it in a blog (as this one is) & below your "tags" is "access"... click the circle next to "individuals" & then click whom you wish to see the blog... MAKING SURE you do NOT choose Mama Di. And make sure your blog is NOT public as to where she might see it!!!!

If you've never been to a blog party... it's a hoot! Actually it's just like a big chat session!! :o)

Also, please don't anyone tell her about this... we want it to be a SURPRISE!!! Thanks!!! :o)

Snowed In!!

This is one day I'm disliking the snow!

If you didn't know... Passion Wolf was going to pick me up & take me to get my 1st tattoo... & I was all psyched about it & all!!

Well, Mother Nature had a different plan... The snow is coming down very quickly & won't be stopping anytime soon.

So, we both decided it's best not to do it.
I called the tattooist & he said he'd rather we not come anyway, because his road is just covered.

So, I have to reschedule... & get pumped up about it again!!! ARGH!!

Well, I guess now we can have a birthday party for Passion Wolf... if Bandit (her cat) will allow her to stay on the computer for awhile! LOL

Keep an eye out, we'll see what we can do! :)

Blog Party anyone??? TOMORROW!!!

It will just be a "come as you are"... "Let's Get to know one another"... "Relax & Enjoy the company"...

So, get your favorite cup of Java or Hot Cocoa & click on the Party blog (tomorrow - Wednesday 12-12-07 sometime after 9 a.m. EST) & let's chat up a storm! :)

Keep an eye in your "Inbox" (formally known as "My Multiply")

What happened to the B&W Party?

I don't know how long this will be, because I am getting a major headache. So, I am going to try to make this as quick as I can!
Well, no one really showed up for the Black & White blog party... so I went ahead & deleted it... Though I did save it for future use. If you've not read my blast (review)... I am thinking of trying again this week... what is a good day for you? (Please vote below.)

I need to know ahead of time, so that I can be sure to be awake during the peak interest! (Otherwise I may not be up until after NOON.) I'm in the USA - Eastern time zone... so, here is a link to a time zone converter for where ever you are in the world... so we can all arrive at the same time! (Be sure to choose the appropriate date, time & zone, before clicking "convert time.)



It has been so cold here now... FINALLY! I just wish all this wet stuff we're getting was SNOW!! I'm BEYOND ready for it!! (FYI - When November arrives, I am ready for it to snow until my birthday! (But not on it... March 20th... which is the 1st day of Spring by some calendars.) I grew up with just about every winter full of snow! & On the farm it's was a gorgeous thing!

Moving on... As you can tell, I have not gone with any of the choices I had in that poll for a title for my site...

Just so you know, everyone chose (4 votes) "A Ride Along with Lady Harley"...

1. After thought, was, that title was too long for my taste.
2. "The Hugger" just seems to fit me in not just for the Harley reference... but also, because I love HUGS!! 

I really appreciate everyone's opinion... it did not go un-notice!! & The votes really help cement the idea of keeping with the Harley theme.


Notes of interest before you vote...

1. If everyone chooses tomorrow... it will have to be sometime after 10 a.m. (EST) because I plan on sleeping in!

2. Thursday, this week, is NOT an option for me! (I'll be dealing with my thyroid scan. I'll explain that tomorrow.)

3. The party will have to be concluded by 5:00 p.m. (EST) to make sure I have it all "cleaned up" before hubby gets home! (Plus, I'll need to get supper ready!)

4. I will keep the same theme... Black & White... meaning, change your head shot to a black & white photo (it's not absolutely necessary... just will be fun to see what you all can come up with!) ... & use only black font with white background or vice versa, for all comments. (If you don't know how to change, don't fret, I'll have the explanation in the blog on that day... or if you choose, you can check out Caghs' lesson on how & practice ahead of time!)

5. One draw back to this poll is that the answers rotate positions... so, I have no control if the "days" are not in order!

Well, with interruptions, this took a lot longer than I expected... & now I am about to fall asleep!

So, I'll now leave you with a graphic & the poll!

Get your own Poll!

The Party Continues...

I'll keep the Blog Party up until Monday sometime!! Please come & join & have fun! No need to talk football... LET'S JUST HAVE SOME FUN!!

That's what an impromptu party is all about! :)

If I get some responses... I'll add some "virtual" food for ya all! Click the orange "more" in the paragraph next to the waving OSU flag... to get to the blog!!

My 1st Multiply BLOG party... (Impromptu)

Its the BIGGEST college football game of the year... OSU vs Michigan... well it's big in this area!

To celebrate, I am hosting an impromptu TAILGATE Party. Come as you are... or you can put on your favorite college gear!

I'm only going to add the one picture so I can get this up & running... I'll try to post some other pics in the party!

If you've never been to a blog party... it's extremely easy... you just reply to this blog & wait for someone to reply to you. Multiply is set up with an AUTO RESET so all you have to do is just type & read!! (Short cut... when ready to send your message... you do not have to move your mouse to the submit button, you can just click ctrl & enter!!)

Ok, let's get this started!!!

We do not have to talk football... let's just get together & have some fun!! I have CHOCOLATE!! But you have to come to the party to get any!!

GO BUCKEYES!!!

I'll have a score updates in my replies!!! 

UPDATE... Buckeye Game is over & THEY WON!! (See the replies for the final score... (because I am showing off my new learned talent! LOL)

I'm NOT closing the door just yet... This is going to be a WEEKEND TAILGATE PARTY... So, it's just getting started!!! Now it's time to change gears a little... to the professional side...

HERE WE GO STEELERS... HERE WE GO!!

Oh & we can not forget.... NASCAR!!!

It's the last race of the season!!! Championship to be decided!!
Even though Jeff Gordon basically conceded after last week... he still has a shot at it!!

  

My driver (#99 - Carl Edwards) & hubby's driver (Matt Kenseth - #17) is out of it... so I guess I'll need to root for either the #48 or the #24...

I should root for Jimmie Johnson, because that's my son's favorite... but I have a pull for Jeff, because... well just because he thinks he can't pull it off unless something bad happens to Jimmie's race. Well... we'll see tomorrow!!

(At least Carl won the BUSH CHAMPIONSHIP!!!) & He did his infamous back flip tonight!!! YEA!!!!

For those stopping by.. please feel free to continue without me... just clean up any messes you make.

Help yourself to the Purple Smoothies (thanks Mama Di!)... they along with the chocolate Buckeyes are unlimited in the "magic" fridge Mama Di "poofed" up.

Have a good night & see ya tomorrow sometime!!

Update: Steelers lost...  to the Jets,  GO FIGURE!

Matt Kenseth won the Homstead race & Jimmie Johnson won the Nextel Cup Championship!!

I'm not going to close the blog to replies... only because I had some great replies with beautiful graphics in it. Just know that it's not a party anymore!

Have a great day!

Impromptu Party... see blog...
