My friend, Lisa, has a gift.  She makes the most beautiful jewelery that I’ve ever seen.  Along with the gift of being an extraordinary jeweler, she has the gift of compassion and giving. With every purchase of the Hope Necklace, she is donating a third of the proceeds to help the devastated people of Haiti.

A special delivery arrived a couple days ago…

Written on the card:

91) A Redneck Mommy, a Busy Dad, and a Secret Agent Mama all walk into a Karaoke Bar:

“Huggin’ and a kissin’, dancin’ and a lovin’, wearin’ next to nothing
Cause it’s hot as an oven
The whole shack shimmies
when everybody’s movin’ around and around and around!
Everybody’s movin’, everybody’s groovin’ baby!
Folks linin’ up outside just to get down
Everybody’s movin’, everybody’s groovin’ baby
Funky little shack! Funky little shack!”

92)  Moms Just Wanna Have Fun:

“When the working day is done,
Oh,girls,
They wanna have fu-un,
Oh,girls,
Just wanna have fun….

Girls,
They want,
Wanna have fun.
Girls,
Wanna have”

93) Moms with Cameras:

“I’m your biggest fan I’ll follow you until you love me,
Papa-paparazzi,
Baby there’s no other superstar you know that I’ll be your
Papa-paparazzi
Promise I’ll be kind, but i won’t stop until that boy is mine,
Baby you’ll be famous chase you down until you love me,
Papa-paparazzi”

94) Mama’s Got Back, Yeah Baby:

“So your girlfriend rolls a Honda, playin’ workout tapes by Fonda
But Fonda ain’t got a motor in the back of her Honda
My anaconda don’t want none
Unless you’ve got buns, hun”

95) Mama’s Got Feeling and the ROCK:

“Here we come
here we go
we gotta rock (rock, rock, rock, rock)

Easy come
easy go
now we on top (top, top, top, top)

Feel the shot
body rock
Rock it don’t stop (stop, stop, stop, stop)

Round and round
up and down
around the clock

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
Friday, Saturday, Saturday and Sunday

We keep keep keep keep on going
we know what we say
Party everyday
party everyday

Got a feeling
That tonight’s gonna be a good night
that tonight’s gonna be a good night
that tonight’s gonna be a good good night”

96) The Mellow After-party:  Just an intimate group of friends.  Sitting in a circle.  Drinking wine.  Laughing. Smiling. Telling stories and our favorite moments.   You see, I am usually the one who suggests we play Truth-or-Dare, but that game just didn’t seem to fit.  So, I said, “how about we go around the room and tell our favorite memory of Blissdom!”   It was a blissful hour.  One I will not soon forget.   Thank you, Barbara, Alli, and Paula for throwing such an awesome shin-dig!

“Oh, I want to thank you for so many gifts you gave with love and tenderness,
I wanna thank you
I want to thank you for your generosity, the love and the honesty that you gave me
I want to thank you, show my gratitude, my love and my respect for you,
I wanna thank you

Oh I want to thank you, thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you, thank you… “

97)  Last Morning of Bliss:  Amy posed for a few shots in our hotel room.  I don’t know how I luck out with room-mates, but I certainly do.   I’ll snore in the bed next to you, any day, Turn Sharp!

“Alouette, gentille Alouette
Alouette je te plumerai
Alouette, gentille Alouette
Alouette je te plumerai
Je te plumerai la tete
Je te plumerai la tete
Et la tete, et la tete
Et la tete, et la tete
O-o-o-o-oh
Alouette, gentille Alouette
Alouette je te plumerai…”

(but I won’t pluck your feathers or beak off, I swear!)

98)  Time to Go Home:  But, first, we had breakfast with Dawn, Dawn’s cousin, Laura (who’s a talented make-up artist) and her boyfriend, David (who’s kind of a country star–check him out), Sara, and Amy at Cracker Barrel (yum!)   We decided against the photo-walk because of the cold.  So the breakfast was a nice way to gather before going home.

“You find out who your friends are.
Somebody’s gonna drop everything
Run and crank up their car
Hit the gas
Get there fast
Never stop to think whats in it for me
or its way to far
They just show on up
with their big old hearts
You find out who your friends are.”

99)  Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway:

“Insisting that the world keep turning our way

And our way
is on the road again.
Just can’t wait to get on the road again.
The life I love is makin’ music with my friends

And I can’t wait to get on the road again.
And I can’t wait to get on the road again.”

100) “We do not remember days; we remember moments.” —Cesare Pavese, The Burning Brand

“Maybe I am a crowded mind
I watch your eyes glaze over
Stared down at the floor
You were amazing to me
I was amazing to you
But here we go again

Didn’t you
Love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drowning deep inside your water
Drowning deep inside your sound
Love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drowning deep inside your water
Drown in love and memories”
