This is my cousin Kevin’s daughter Chalea in NYC where she was in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade with a large troupe of cheerleaders from all over the country.
“Shai Coggins explained that the deal enables the networks and their bloggers to benefit from each others strengths and strategies.This merger is like a marriage in the world of blogging networks, said Coggins. b5media and About Weblogs are coming together like two people with different strengths, personalities and opportunities, but with very similar visions and goals. We need these similarities and differences to make a good partnership. And, I believe that were a great fit. Im definitely looking forward to working with Jeremy, Darren, Duncan, and the rest of the wonderful b5 team.
Duncan Riley of b5media explained that the full integration of all the About Weblogs blogs would take a number of weeks.
As with any merger there are a number of technical issues to sort out.However, we would expect that all blogs would be fully integrated into b5media by the end of November.”
Weblog Network b5media LLC Announces Merger with About Weblogs
Well, it is finally official–we are joining the b5media network! Ooh, I hate to keep a secret–especially one that is so exciting to me.
I remember back in July, when I came on to AboutWeblogs, I was so nervous about actually writing a blog that someone might actually see (LOL). Well I have stepped in it now! My hubby thinks I am scared of success, and he is right. I am shaking in my Pink Wellies, but unbelievably excited to be working with the geniuses (in my mind anyway) at b5.
Shai keeps talking about this merger in relation to a courtship and marriage–there is something kinda sexy about that for sure. Maybe that is why we are so excited! 
Just to keep track of things, and if anyone from Farragut ‘86 happens by, here is the link to the reunion planning boards Lee Hill has set up.
As opposed to Marshall wasting his weekend off shopping for my birthday, I so graciously offered to choose my own gift. LOL I have been eyeballing this airbrush tanning system for awhile, and so yesterday was the day! Wasn’t that nice of me?? Now I have to teach my daughter how to use it so I won’t be brown as a nut on the front side and my usual pasty white on the backside. She isn’t the slightest bit interested in using it herself. She has a lot to learn
Happy Birthday to Dr. Hsien Lei–she has the same birthday as I do. I knew I just loved her!
Birthdays used to be so fun. Now they are something I just dread. Now that Marshall is not home much during the weeks, I get to celebrate twice this year. Once yesterday (Saturday) and once on Monday (the real dreaded day). Thank goodness the years don’t add up quite so quickly.
But really, we had a nice day. I took an enormous nap (which I needed badly because I can’t sleep during the weekdays), and pretty much did nothing. We went to the Outback for dinner, and I had a yummy prime rib because they took my favorite prime ribeye off the menu. I tell the waitress every time we go in that I am not pleased about that. Maybe sometime they will bring them back, they were well worth the extra 6 bucks (at least to me).
Right before we were walking out the door to leave, Zoe brought the mail, and in it was a teary card from mom, and an Outback gift card, thank you mom! We are going to save that for a romantic dinner for 2!
It is 1:30am, it is time for bed. Nitey nite!
Happy Birthday to my husband, whom I love (along with my babies) more than anything in the world! I am so glad you are with us!
I think back to the days when we were on AOL, and had never met before, and how I adored you then, and then after we met, in January 2000, how you were forever in my heart and soul. I think about your birthday in 2001, and how much fun we had, and how we might never reproduce THAT event, but how each year that goes by gets better and better anyway!
Thank God you are alive and well, and Thank You God for not taking my husband away just yet, I know he has much more to do here on Earth
I love you darling!
