Today's the DAY!!

Today's the day!
I've got my plane ticket in hand.
And even though I woke up with a swollen,
MEGA ITCHY EYE
AND
even though my trusted beautician scalped  me gave me a
"less than perfect" haircut yesterday
I am packed and good-to-go.

Once a year I meet up with a group of wonderful,
fun-loving, silly, girlfriends

that I met online 6 years ago
through iVillage.

This year there will be 11 of us.
We come from Louisiana, Texas, Delaware,
Georgia, South Dakota, California, and Illinois.



We're headed to a Florida Beach for a week
of "15-yr-old-slumber-party-fun".
Woo Hoo!
(in the past we have met in:
Chicago, Minesotta (Malls of America)
Savannah, GA and San Antonio, TX)


I'll see you soon
Carolyn, Shari, Melissa, Donna,
Daisy, Ellen, Jocelyn, Kathy
Pam, and Shirley.

I'm just sayin'. . .
You  never know where and when
you're gonna make a great friend.
And.YES.I.will.return.with photos.

Maybe someday some of we Bloggers
will meet face-to-face.
Wouldn't that be fun?

I'm all "words"

I haven't Blogged in quite a while.
You have missed me,
haven't you?  LOL

I' d like to say I've been soooo busy with homeschooling
that my time has been sucked dry...

OR
 that with all the teenage drama
in our house I simply have no blogging breath
left in this tired Mom's body. . .
BUT
the truth is -

I GOT THIS
for my birthday (mid august)



and
I CAN'T STOP PLAYING
THIS GAME.

I think my family is planning
an intervention.

Prejudice?

Got any prejudicial blood
in "them thar" veins?

Are you equally drawn to a slim person as to one who is over-weight?

Got any really good friends who are a different color than you are?

Whom would you choose to hang out with?  A cute, young woman who was a bit on the boring side...
                       OR
an older woman who was funny and interesting.

When going to a movie would you be as inclined to invite a friend who is in a wheelchair as to a friend who is not in a wheelchair?

Do you prefer that your friends have the same religious beliefs as you do?
Could you be an equally good friend with
An Atheist?
A Muslim?
A Baptist?

Do most of your friends have the same amount of education?

Got any friends who have a lot MORE money or a lot LESS money than you?

It seems to me that we are all drawn to people who are much like we are.
"Same drawn to same".
I'm not sure why it is.
Maybe is has something to do with
our personal "Comfort Zone".
Perhaps it's simply a matter of convenience.
Is it possible it has absolutely nothing
to do with being prejudice? Or does it?

What do you think?

No need for any embarassement
as I accept anonymous comments too.
