Alphabet Weekend "C" & "D"

So, Alphabet Weekend "C" was scheduled to be this past weekend, but, due to some miscommunication, it was moved to this coming weekend (and is now something new & improve"d"!):

On this weeks episode (March the 28th) we will be watching as our fun and lovable friends enjoy the atmosphere of the "C"lark Planetarium and the relaxation of a "D"ouble feature at the "D"rive in! Oh yeah, its open now, well the 27th, BUT STILL!!!

Come join us, as we travel first through the galaxy and then to the back seat! Gather your biggest cars, blankets and pillows to conserve body heat and humor this Saturday.

The fun begins at 4 PM at the Clark Planetarium (we can make arrangements for carpooling), afterwhich we will hunt down some food (ideas welcome) and then conclude at the Redwood Drive-in theater at 8 pm, at which time we can all decide what to see.

Come one, come all! Please call or email to join us!

Operation Kids and Collin Raye Join Forces

This is the big project I have been working on and it just launched yesterday. I am the webmaster for Operation Kids, a local non-profit that focuses on all charities and projects for kids around the nation, and eventually internationally. They give 100% of all donations to specified charities or a project they get involved with. It is always specified by the donor where the funds should go.



Recently, they have teamed up with Collin Raye (who sang at their annual gala last October) to reach out to the public for $5 donations to help families who are dealing with enormous medical expenses. You actually get something in return for this! A free download of a song he wrote for his granddaughter, who has a regressive neurological disease that has yet to be diagnosed after 6 years. The song is beautiful and inspiring. I've heard it.

I helped the project come to light in that I created the flash banner on Collin's site and the donation process you would go through to donate on Operation Kid's site. (If you click on the banner below, it will take you to Operation Kid's website.)

I support the cause and encourage all to consider donating. Look at the websites, read about the cause and make a decision. It's a wonderful cause by wonderful people who want to make a difference to families around the nation.

Alphabet Weekend "B" and the upcoming "C"

So, it wasn't really done on a weekend, but this past Monday, Jason and I joined our bestest of friends (except Tyler and Destiny.... :( ) and had a "Beauty Night" for the girls and the boys just did "Boys' Night." We really had a blast, but didn't take our camera for proof of the fun.

Us ladies, thank you to the magical and talented Katrina, gave ourselves facials and other girl stuff, topped off with eyebrow waxing. I left feeling like a princess with super smooth skin - which looks even better today!

Da boys, played around with some martial arts and on the Wii. They seemed to have a lot of fun.... I was too busy having my own fun! :)

So, that's "B." Huge "Thank You" to Katrina for hosting and giving us TONS of samples! Now for "C"...

"Couples Cookoff." This is, for now, to be hosted by Kellie. We are each planning on preparing one portion of a meal: Appetizer, Main, Dessert, etc. as a couple while we are all together at Kellie's house. This gives us time to hang out while the food is cooking and getting prepared and will challenge our couple cohesiveness....

I know this was supposed to be an activity for a bunch of people to join, but Kellie offered to host it and I can't invite people to her house.... Next time, guys!

"A"n Evening of "A"mor

Ok, so I should have posted this blog a while ago... but I have a great excuse why I am just getting to it now! Ha!

So, 5 couples met on the evening of Friday the 13th - the night before Valentine's Day. We had a great time together - so great, in fact, that we forgot to take pictures! We had heart-shaped pizza, which was excellent - along with a divine homemade chocolate mousse (courtesy of Katrina) that was actually made with avocados! Then we had chocolate fondue for dessert (as if we needed more chocolate, huh!) with all the trimmings - strawberries, marshmallows, cinnamon bears, bananas, oreos and a bunch of other stuff. While we sat around the warm fondue pots, we played "Loaded Questions" - which was a load of fun and trouble!

So, anyway, for those who missed.... your loss! Just kidding. We have planned our activity for "B", but because Katrina is our private esthetician and has offered to host it, we have to keep this one a bit private. But, I promise "C" will be open to all and tons of fun!!! It will be planned within the next week so we can give everyone fair notice. Have a great St. Patrick's Day!
