Toya and I had a FANTASTIC time! It was soooooo good to be able to actually "see" her! LOL, I kept poking on her arm in the car just trying to make sure she was "real", and she was! LOL....well here is
the podcast. It's only about 12 minutes long, but we had fun! Tee hee....lol.. I am already about as goofy as they
come, and I have NO problem saying that, it is a part of my genetic
makeup. But we really had a great time. It came and went FAR too fast.
We are already planning my trip to Philly!
Make sure you listen because we picked our winner for the RAK and explained why...but the winner IS:
Rolana!!!!! send me your snail mail addy girlie! You have a box FULL of goodies coming to you....don't remember what you are getting? Check HERE ! Yay! Congrats!

Okay, what's with the green lipgloss? I just LOVE MAC; it's my fave. I just adore the smell of their lipstick; it's kind of mocha-smelling.
Posted by: Sheila Doherty | August 28, 2006 at 12:04 PM

SO glad you guys had a good time!! You could see the fun oozing out of those photos! I think the podcast is so interesting... putting a voice with a face, ya' know... I was expecting Toya to have a Trinidad accent!! I am also glad to see you owning up to your alter-ego in public on that there quiz. People will catch on soon anyway, what with the silver cuff bracelets, the blue boots, the multi-tasking. LOL. I will have to look for your LO in MM next time I am in LSS... Congrats!! Girl, you MUST order those new HS lemonade stand letters... I got mine today, very cool. (unless, you already have ordered them... imagine that!?!? Adrienne with HS chipboard? Nah... LOL)

Glad you guys had a blast. Love the pictures!!! The one where ya'll are eating and chillin just says it all. That picture reeks of girl fun.(Remember the sleepovers you use to have as a teen) The podcast was hilarious to me..reminded me of me and a friend of mine when I went out to Maryland to visit. All giggly..lol The podcast was a great idea. About the green lipgloss..ummmmm...yeah...lol I'ma let ya'll have that. LOL

Posted by: Liz Ness | August 28, 2006 at 11:14 PM
Congrats on the pub! Great photos!!
Posted by: Angela | August 28, 2006 at 11:24 PM
First congrats on the MM publishing! Be sure to let us know which issue so we can buy it and/or celebrate it! Love the greenish MAC gloss - haven't been to the counter in a while now I have a reason! Do you all know that MAC encourages recycling and will give you a free lipstick for every 5 containers (any kind) you return to them. They ROCK.
The photos are gorgeous - such a pretty setting and you look great. My friend wears the head scarf too - sometimes for a week!
Posted by: Colleen E | August 28, 2006 at 11:31 PM
I love your new banner and the matching colours you have done. I think it really looks fab. Looking forward to seeing more photos.
