Last Call with a dash of randomness

Mornin' my peeps.

Here's hoping that you are all safe and with power after the storms that rocked our little part of the country yesterday. All the storm talk yesterday kinda made my stomach hurt, and this morning, with the death tolls in Mississippi and Alabama steadily rising, my thoughts and prayers go out to all who have been affected by the storms.

Moving on....

today is THE LAST DAY to sign up to participate in my homemade cd swap. You can go here to leave a comment to join in on the fun, seeing as how I'm certain you don't wanna miss out on it, right?

Also, I recently received two new Africa shirt pics.

This is my friend Roxanne with her two adorable boys.

You can read more about her by visiting her blog here.

And this is Meredith from Mississippi.

If you have a picture of you in your Africa shirt, I'd love to see it. Send it my way?

Speaking of pictures....

I'm sure you all remember my good friend/ pseudo little sister, Erin, yes?

Well, I just wanted to share this photo with you of her super cute boyfriend, Mark:

 

Pretty much a hottie, yes?

(Forgive me, Mark, I just couldn't help myself.)

I also can't help myself when it comes to listening to this song:

And, with that being said, I'm off to drink my coffee...perhaps with a peep...or a splash o'rainbow.

Happy Thursday to you and you and you.

We've Saved a Seat for You on the Bandwagon

Consider this your friendly reminder that tomorrow is the last day to sign up for my homemade cd swap, where you make a cd for someone and get a cd from someone. Entering is easy, just leave a comment on this post, including three or so artists you like and your e-mail address.

Then sometime this weekend, I'll send you an e-mail with your partner's contact info. You'll exchange mailing info. directly with your partner, make your cd, and stick it in the mail.

And in a few days, you should receive some new tunes of your own to start enjoying.

Easy as pie....or cake....or cake and pie, depending on your preference.

And who doesn't like a good piece cake pie?

Homemade CD swap, anyone?

If you know me, like REALLY know me, then you know there's just about nothing I love more than mail....

No, not e-mail, although I do love that too.

But I'm talking about about 'honest to goodness mail' mail.

I especially love getting goodies in the mail, such as these little hotties I got today.

Mom, you rock.

And, it turns out I'm not the only one who loves getting mail.

Seriously, I thought the Libster was gonna have a freak attack when she got this Supremes cd in the mail yesterday. She loves them. It's what I like to call 'her first official phase'.

Moving on.

Well, today on my way home from Lib's doctor, my little wheels got to turnin', and I had an idea.

Don't be too surprised; it does happen every now and then.

Here were my thoughts:

*I have some really cool readers with great taste. (That would be you.)

*I love mail.

*I'm willing to bet I'm not the only one who loves mail....

*It's spring, and I'm in the mood for something new.

*And I'm ALWAYS on the lookout for new music to love.

So, here's what I've decided:

I'm going to host a CD swap via this here blog.

Here's how this will work:

1. You decide to participate. (Easy enough, yes?)

2. You leave a comment on this post with your e-mail address and the name of three muscial artists you enjoy sometime between now and April 29th.

3. On May 1, I'll match you up with someone else who has similar musical tastes.

4. You'll e-mail your partner, exchange info., burn a fab-o cd, and stick it in the mail.

(In other words, the only person you will give your address to is your partner.)

5. Sometime during the first week or so of May, you'll be enjoying some new tunes.

Oh, and feel free to help spread the word on your blog, facebook, twitter, or however else you so choose-- the more the merrier, right?

AND YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE A BLOG TO PARTICIPATE!

I know I have lots of amazing readers who are blog-less, and while this is unfortunate, I certainly don't want you to be left out of all the cd swapping fun.

Sounds great, yes?

The commenting may begin now.

And I'll try to contain my excitement.....because sometimes it can be too much;

blame it on the mail.

AND REMEMBER: PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS IN YOUR COMMENT! Otherwise, it'll be hard for me to track to down to get you in touch with your partner.

Thanks. :)
