B and Me !

Mama Kat's post inspired me to share with you a few things that you should know about me should you ever decide to drop by.

• If you are coming to visit me to share some laughs and have some wine feel free to stop by; if you are coming to visit my house and are expecting it to be clean and in an orderly fashion then you should make an appointment.
• I do not eat red meat.  I do not like it, Sam I am and I will not eat it.  Not on a boat, not with a goat, I simply won't.
• I HATE wearing shoes.  When not at work, I never have socks or shoes on.  In the summer, I live barefoot. 
• My BFF (pictured above) will listen to me drone on and on forever about anything.  She will listen to me talk about all aspects of my life from laundry to my ineligibility to vote in the primary election due to my reluctance to select any major party.
• My sister is four years younger than me but most people don't suspect that.
• I love to make things for people.
• It hurts me deeply when people say stuff about me behind my back.  I much prefer the direct approach although I still find that to be just as painful.
• I like brussel sprouts, but find chocolate cake hard to swallow.
• Peanut butter cups are the bestest!
• If I consider you to be my friend, there is little, to nothing, that I won't do for you.

I'm taking a break from my company to type this blog post. My sister and her two kids and our friend G and her two kids are here. I think my husband is looking for things to do just so he doesn't have to deal with the seven kids currently staying here.

They are all behaving rather well, all things considered.

They arrived yesterday afternoon and we had everyone asleep around 9:30 which is pretty good.

Today we spent the day at the pool and had a wonderful time...though I think some of us got a little too much sun.

Tomorrow we are tackling Hershey park with all seven kids with varying heights.

PRAY for me.

My baby sister called me yesterday.

She is very passionate about raising money for JDRF
Her son, my nephew C, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes a little over a year ago.  He is nine.

She thinks that 10s of thousands of people read my blog.  She thinks that I am iCarly.

I haven't told her that there are only five of you.

Anyway, her idea is that the five thousands of you could all send her $1.00.  In return she will put your name on our fundraising website and you will feel the love you get from changing the world.  You may also get a thank you note from my nephew.

I told her not to get her hopes up, unfortunately she thinks that I am iCarly.

So if you are so inclined you may mail your $1.00 bill to my sister.  We are walking in the Walk for a Cure on March 20th!

Today is my sister's birthday and boy do I miss her! Happy Birthday Sis! I hope you enjoyed your dinner and you had a glass of wine for me.

(((HUGS)))

My sister lives too far away. I don't get to see her as much as I would like. Because of that today's tribute goes out to CrazyTrain, who I wish was coming over for supper tonight.

Five things I love about Heather:

• She always makes me laugh: My sister is one of the funniest people I know. She can tell a story about a random trip to the doctors and before you know it you will be peeing your pants with laughter.
• She has pretty hair: All my life I have wanted my sister's hair. It lays flat, it grows long, it doesn't get bushy. Mine on the other hand...well let's not go there.
• She looks good in a sun visor and plaid shorts: CrazyTrain doesn't care what anyone thinks and will pretty much wear whatever she wants where ever she goes.
• She is an awesome teacher: She teaches special education on a high school level. That takes a lot of dedication and an actual desire to see her students make a better life for themselves.
• She fights for what she believes in: This year she has taken juvenile diabetes by the throat and isn't about to let go until her son is cured.
  

If you read my post yesterday, you are aware that I'm having some technical difficulties with my photos and videos from the weekend. I accidentally deleted everything off my SD card. While, thankfully, I was able to restore my photos, I wasn't able to restore the hilarious videos my sister and I made of our mock craft show: Crafting with Confidence

However, I haven't given up yet.

This is the only one I currently have and it is just a blooper. I'm sure you want to see the rest...keep your fingers crossed.
