Three of Many Who Deserve Recognition

I have a lot of stuff.  I've been working on downsizing.  I had some on eBay.  Other things, I pulled aside.  I couldn't believe how much had never been used.  Sigh.  It was all going to Goodwill.  Then I got to thinking.  It seemed like a fine time to send some treats to a few friends who do a whole lot of good for others. 

First, there's my friend Robin.  She's been mentioned both here and on my other blogs before.  Robin is an amazing mom and one of the hardest working people you will ever meet.  One of the things she works hardest at is treading lightly on the earth.  She has been an absolute inspiration to me in my quest to become more green.  Robin has raised three amazing and beautiful children who are full of spunk and joy.  There is a package on its way for Robin (and her daughter) to celebrate Robin and everything she does. 

Next, there's Kamira.  I've also written about her.  I absolutely heart Kamira.  I have known her since my freshman year of high school and I'm so glad that our paths reconnected through the magical world of FB.  Kamira has a job in the world of higher education that leads to some of the funniest stories I have ever heard.  Kamira faces challenges with the best attitude.  I love seeing her updates and I love hearing her stories.  And, frankly, I love commenting on her rack because I love when she laughs.  Kamira, there's a little something on the way for you too.

Finally, there's Tina.  Tina manages a salon in Delaware and owns her own business in the salon.  She is a beautiful person, inside and out.  (Okay, honestly, she's a total hottie.)  Recently, I was so impressed by her salon's activism on behalf of breast cancer research.  I wish I lived closer because I would have purchased tons of lip gloss!  Tina is a woman with tons of style and she has a treat coming that will reflect that, I hope. 

Who knows, maybe I will recognize you next.  Or perhaps this will inspire you to send a random treat to someone who adds to your life.  Thank you to Robin for your constant inspiration.  Thank you to Kamira for constantly bringing me joy.  Thank you to Tina for constantly making me smile and impressing me with your business activism.  Three inspiring women.  If you don't like anything in your boxes o' treats, pass 'em on to someone who will. 

That Former Cheerio

[As I skip Track 12 to the Glee Soundtrack, Volume 1]

Boy:  Why did you skip that?
Me:  I don't like Quinn Fabray.
Boy:  Did you just say that you don't like Quinn Fabray?
Me:  Yup.
Boy:  Sigh.  Why don't you like Quinn?
Me:  Because I don't.
Boy:  That's not a reason.  Why don't you like her?
Me:  Because Rachel's a better singer.
Boy:  But Rachel's a better singer than everybody.  That's the whole point.  I'm putting that song back on because I like the Supremes.
Me:  I still don't like Quinn Fabray.
Boy:  Well, Finn's voice is no prize either. 
Me:  No, I like Puck and Archie better.  And I like them both better than Quinn Fabray. 

Read This. I didn't make an ass out of myself this time.

I participated in an interview for this article.  I think the article is great and really informative.  The writer, Winnie Yu, did a fantastic job.  I'm happy to be included.

Danielle and the Sinus Squid

Danielle was sent to the Tower.  The Sinus Squid was the enemy and it was near the Tower.  So, Danielle did not want to go to the Tower.

Danielle tried to escape.  She tried to travel elsewhere, by ship.  But there was a terrible storm.  Danielle knew that the Sinus Squid had caused the storm.  So, she asked the sailors to throw her into the sea, away from the path of the Sinus Squid.  But Danielle did not drown, because the Sinus Squid swallowed her.  Danielle kicked and kicked and the Sinus Squid Spit her out in front of Walgreen's.  Danielle purchased Sinus Squid removal mists and thanked Walgreen's for rescuing her from the Sinus Squid.  She returned to the Tower, toting decoupaged taxidermy statue of the Sinus Squid for her office.
