Tiara Tip to Nice Deb

Many of you may already know fellow blogger Nice Deb. She has a magnificent blog, which I read daily and to which I often link on my personal blog. She occasionally co-blogs at Ace of Spades HQ, too. Well, Deb has been wrangled agreed to be a part of The Cotillion aka the Tiara Media, a united group of female bloggers around the country. She is a wonderful addition to our blog roll and I'll hope you will check out her site.

Welcome, Nice Deb! We are richer for it.

Coveritlive nominated for Webare 100 Awards 2008

UPDATE - VOTE HERE!!!!

My Cotillion sisters and I have broken in Coveritilive and its' President Keith McSpurren very well. In other words, we have abused the tar out of them and made them succumb to our demands for improvements - AND THEY LISTENED! I personally have done a tutorial with Keith McSpurren, The President of Coveritlive and MVRWC Beth at the same time. Beth had to apologize to Keith for my snarky behavior and Keith stood well with his own great sense of humor! Keith has always come to visit me when I use Coveritlive. The last time I used it I asked him to go grab me a beer and popcorn and people thought I was messing with a troll- LOL!

tiara tip Conservative Belle!

NOW GO VOTE!!!!

The Tiara Media takes Lynchburg by storm!


The lovely Beth, of Yeah, Right, Whatever, came into Lynchburg today and I had the opportunity to drive on up hang out and have dinner with her.

She graciously brought me my own tiara (all the ladies of the Cotillion simply must have their own tiaras!), since all the fabric fondling of the past couple of weeks have addled my brains so much that I'd forgotten to acquire one! She presented it to me the moment I walked in the hotel room, and we wore them all night - and got FOUR inquiries as to what it was all about. The waitress at the restaurant got the concept immediately, but the other three comments were all from guys, who were a little bemused *snicker*

We chatted about kids, politics, God - didn't get to taxes, but we were, after all, at dinner ;-) It was a wonderful evening, and I may have the opportunity to get back up to Lynchburg this week and visit with her again. She is a lovely, articulate lady, who is even more gracious and lovely in person than she is online.

It was a great evening, and I was wonderfully blessed to be able to FINALLY meet one of my Cotillion sisters!

Any questions? Email faustaw "at" yahoo "dot" com


PS, To those of you asking, it's "Spring" BlogFest because if it's a success we might have another one later in the year, and "East" because I don't know of any other in the region, but I may be wrong. If there's another BlogFest in Spring in the East, we might change the name to "Spring BlogFest NJ", or even more specific, "Spring BlogFest Princeton".

How to get to Princeton:
Princeton has its own (small) airport, but you can also fly into Philadelphia and drive into Princeton (apprx. 1 1/2 hr drive), or fly into Newark Airport and take NJ Transit to Princeton Junction and change to the train to Princeton.
NJ Transit runs trains from Philadelphia and New York City. You can also use Amtrak from locations in the East.
For driving directions, here's how to get to Triumph Brewing Co.

Soldiers' Angels (video must watch)

I know my readers (from Kiss My Gumbo) expect a daily dose of humor, snark and positive. After all, I am the self-proclaimed "Princess of Positive. This weekend I would like to take the opportunity to encourage and inspire you to do more as an American than wonder about that missing yellow ribbon magnet that said, "I support the troops" (probably at the car wash with the gazillion others). I may like to laugh and be silly, but this weekend I am working on my serious side. I am privileged to be a part of Soldier's Angels and was invited to attend our first ever conference in Pasadena. I have wiped many tears from my face this weekend as we all continue to share our stories and inspire each other to do even more. And please don't tell me you are too busy - no excuses!

THE VIDEO

I am hanging out with many of the greatest Americans in the world: Patriot Guard Riders, Order of the Purple Heart, Gold Star Parents, American heroes, other angels. I promise to help you along as you decide how you can get your "Angel Wings" and start making a difference today. You can stop over to the main site and adopt a soldier (we have 700 soldiers waiting to be adopted) or join one of the many different teams with all levels of involvement. Or you stop on over to the Louisiana site , which I run, for the watered down version of the main site.

Please do something today!!! Our heroes fight for your freedom, they are our responsibility and volunteers do make a difference! YOU can make the difference in the life of a American Hero!

Come view my photo album online and as always, feel free to contact me gretaperry@gmail.com
