Getting There!

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

I have been working very hard to spiff up all my lenses for the upcoming Giant Squid picks…in true clouda9 fashion I am down to the wire. Yikes!

Just had to share the latest sprucing up of my spicy lens For Couples Only: The Sexiest Games Ever. I cracked myself up wondering if lensmaster Victoria_Neely would add the Paris Duckie to her Oh Rubber Ducky lens. Ahh, the simple pleasures things in life that make us smile!

I gotta get going for the challenge! TTFN

 

Just a reminder…

Giant Squidom…

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

Here I come!

I received an e-mail yesterday from Bonnie (bdkz), the Giant Squid Organizer asking me “What inspires and motivates you to want to be a Giant Squid?” Surprisingly it did not take me that long to write my response, there are times I painstakingly pour over something to write for a lens intro or on here.

Without further ado….~drumroll~…here is my response! Front and center on the So You Want To Be A Giant Squid Blog.

We Know How to Party!

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

This weekend was one of the best for me in a long time! Getting together with family and friends we got to surprise and then celebrate with my mom for her 75th birthday.

So much of why I am grateful for my life shined and then was reflected back to me and my family; glistening smiles, loving hugs, colorful bouquets, lilting voices, warm re-connections…the food was pretty dang good too :-)

Read more about my mom at This Squidoo Addict. Plus you’ll get to know me a little bit more!

Would You Like to Blow the Whistle?

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

Train RailsSuccessfully land a job with the railroad and you can blow the whistle at designated stops and crossings! ;-)
Rail traffic is predicted to double or triple in size over the next 5 years due in part to the rising fuel costs. Apply for a position with the railroad and it pretty much assures you job security, as well as a nice income and retirement.  Check out Apply For A Railroad Job today. Please contact me here or on the lens should you have any questions, suggestions, or general comments.

Toot, Toot…Over and Out!

Add Your Corniest Egg Joke

Egg Tragedy
PLUS enjoy my new lens Everything Egg.

So many of my friends and family have commented that I should have been a chef. I think this is the next best thing and my luck I’d have ended up in Hell’s Kitchen instead of having fun here on Squidoo.

The yolk’s on you if you don’t check it out. :- ~

What Do Johnny Depp and Jonathan Frid Have in Common?

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

With the news announced today, they will both be famous for playing the role of Barnabas Collins from the infamous and camp ABC soap opera Dark Shadows  (1966-1971)! Inspired to build this lens because I loved this show when I was growing up…had to sneak to watch it because my mom thought we shouldn’t be sitting in front of the ‘boob tube’ in the middle of the afternoon :-) Get up to speed about the show before it hits the big screen by visiting my lens.

PS Tim Burton is set to direct the film, John August is writing the adaption for film.
