   Morning Liz, You should take the day off! You’ve put a lot of work into the Birthday over the last few days, take a load off

   Thanks for the amazing Tuesday Open Mic, I had a whole lot of fun and met a bunch of new bloggers, who have the most interesting blogs.

   Can’t wait till next year!

   Hey Liz,

   What time did you finally leave the party?
   I had a great time. Hope to do this again, year after year…

   Thanks for the prize, I never (really) won anything like this before.

   Thanks TechZ,
   It was a long day yesterday, but you guys deserve no less. I’m glad you enjoyed yourself. It was important to me that you get a chance to experience it.

   Rick,
   How would you like to summarize the comments from yesterday? Just kidding.

   Hey, Joe!
   Then I’m doubly glad you won! I left at around 11:30pm. It was a fine day! Yes indeed!!! Thank you all for being here. You made it nicer.

    But…but…but… Don’t scare me like that.:-O

    What you’ve already dont with “A Reflection” and maybe this:

    “Folks talked and entertained each other for a while. Joe counted comments. HART told stories. Everyone laughed and forgot about the world for a while.”

    will be enough. You had a long day yesterday. Fun, but long. Bask in it.

    Doh. That was supposed to be ‘wrote’, not ‘dont’.

    Wow, some great stuff to read. I wish that I could have hung around the open mic (but I did get to stop at a MAJOR outlet mall on my quickie road trip yesterday, so a new Restoration Hardware lampshade is my solace.)

    Thank you so much for my prize goodie; I was amazed when I finally sat down to the laptop late this morning. I am ready to be motivated!!

    Best wishes again to Liz and all the SOBs.

    It’s always easy when you write it first and all I have to do is cut and paste .;-)

    TechZ,
    Isn’t it just like you, not to notice yourself because you’re so busy seeing how well others did.

    Thanks Liz - it was a great night. Lots of fascinating links, which will certainly keep me busy for a while

    Thanks Liz - I look forward to the essay. What a birthday celebration you had yesterday! I had a blast - you (and the rest of the OMN participants) were a great dinner date!

    oh geez, the ONE TUESDAY I can’t make it and it’s your birthday? Happy belated, Liz!

    And maybe I won’t win a prize, but here’s my 25 or less–

    Liz’s Link Love lands lots of lovely b-logs on lists of lots of b-loggers, and layers love of links.

    I dare you to say that three times fast!

    Hey BJ,
    I’m sorry you missed the party. You’re cool to bring your 25 words along anyway. Thank you. Add your most successful post link to the end of the party and I’ll include it in the list I’m compiling of all of the party post links. I haven’t finished that yet.

    Hey Starbucker!
    I’m going to make it look very nice for you. Now I just have to figure out how to do that. It was cool that IT man pulled your name for that. . . .
