    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!

    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. 🙂

    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.

    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!

    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. 🙂
