My aunt and cousin both lost their homes in East Grand Forks in the 1997 flood and i saw first-hand the devistation.  Please consider helping out those that have been and will be affected in the Fargo-Moorhead area.

I had the pleasure of attending the Partytown Bonanza finale last night.  Thanks Colleen, Reuvers and G.R. for a great evening of tons of fun and laughter!!!!

Yet another fantastic evening in Partytown.  It was great seeing old friends and meeting new folks (Vince and FedEXZen with their lovely ladies...but I neglected to get photos of them...).  Thank you to Dan! for suggesting the event and of course to Samira2 for hostessing.  A HUGE thanks to Chef Johathon for the fantastic meal and to the darling servers for working their butts off!  Hope you enjoy the photos!  Hugs to all...MWAH!

So, for the past several years I have proudly stated "forty something is FABULOUS"....that is until recently.  I am experiencing what many "middle aged"  (OH MY GOD!   I AM MIDDLE AGED!) women are:  the effects of gravity, thickening of the mid-section and flappy arms..  Now, I have never been one to enjoy exercise, but unless I want to buy an entire new wardrobe I know SOMETHING has to be done.    I am also a dog owner....and not a very good one at that.  My poor Charlie doesn't get walked like he should.  Hmmm, what could I do (besides boring walks) that would benefit both me and my dog.  I researched fitness clubs and DVD's but just couldn't find that one program that really jazzed me up (or worked for the dog).  UNTIL I discovered that the internet is a vast resource of freebies!  After spending much time reviewing online exercise activities i stumbled on this gem from youtube.  I've been doing this three times a week for the past week and a half and am amazed at the results....the next time you Gabsters see me, you'll be shocked.  Now my biceps are certainly not as defined as Beckyanna, but just give it time.....

So all you beyotches out there....get yourself a big-a$$ed Standard Poodle and join the latest trend for the ultra cool!

As always, any get-together of Gabsters is sure to be a BLAST!  It was awesome seeing everyone last night at Beckyanna's Bash for Bosoms Breast Cancer 3-day fundraiser.  Becky did a fabulous job organizing the event for her team and Samira's restaurant hosted the event beautifully.  Great job on the food Luke, Mike, John and Ron (it was scrumdiddlyumtious!).  Dan and I had to leave a bit early to attend another event, so we missed Karaoke, but if it was anything like Partytown, June 08, I can only imagine the shenanigans! I've posted my pics on the message board and can't wait to see everyone elses!

From the time I heard one of the auction items was going to be a sit-in with Colleen and the Boys, I was telling everyone "I am so winning it!!!"     Well, I WON!!!   

I get to just  sit in the studio and observe....RIGHT?
