written on bunnies?

Jennifer offered this challenge to Susan… My challenge to my blog friends is this: write 8 of your blog friends names in a unique way and post them. Then come back over and let me know. You must write the blogger’s name that tagged you, then add 7 others. Be creative and if possible use the natural wonders of the world!

Susan wrote my name on a stone and offered the same challenge to me!

So per the instructions, my first picture is for Susan.
She is such a sweetie and a mentor for me, truly.
She also lives in the same state as me!


Next is my bloggy buddy Kat!
Such a cute bunny huh?
I just love visiting Kat, she’s a really special person!
Here comes Carrie!
Carrie is a bloggy sweetheart and I
expect if she accepts this challenge we’ll see
names on her pretty veggies she’s growing :o)

Oh, what about Jenna?
Jenna was one of my first blogging buddies and I just love her!
She has a pretty new blog design now, she’s pretty fancy!

Can’t forget the birthday girl!
Jenny and I have had some great phone conversations.
I just love Jenny!

Sweet Judi!
Judi hasn’t been posting for a couple of days so maybe this
will inspire her to post, I love to visit her!

My IRL & bloggy buddy Julie.
I could make some kind of silly joke about rabbits etc. since she has
seven kids, but I won’t!
Julie knows I love her!

Sheryl is my sweet friend too!
I always enjoy visiting her blog and her uplifting posts.
Her & her hubbie are so sweet together!

Following behind (because that was 8) is Oh Amanda!
She’s one creative gal and even a top mama!
We sure see eye to eye on God stuff, that’s huge to me.

I just can’t wait to see what you girls come up with…

small print…
I must thank Amanda for her bunny assistance. She has scratches to prove she helped out (don’t worry, I gave her money for the movie to make up for it all)
No animals were harmed while shooting these photos, there was one close call with ugly rosa and Susan bunny, but she was rescued just in time!

time travel tuesday ~ dates gone wrong edition!

Jul-31-2007 By mylifeasannie
Well, for this week’s time travel tuesday we are going back to a date gone wrong… with husband or before marriage it’s your choice. I think it is healing to find humor in bad situations and I have the perfect day to travel back to ~ our 10th wedding anniversary! It was a doozy. So, come back later and travel with me, I can’t wait to hear the crazy things you have experienced…

First and foremost a note to my hubby:
Matt, if you are reading this (and I know you will)… I love you very much.
Okay, here’s my date gone wrong…

I decided that for my tenth anniversary it would be a wonderful idea to plan an outing to Guthrie, OK to spend the night at a bed & breakfast. Guthrie is an old town with a wonderful old theater, the only professional year round theater close to here (they maintain a staff of actors there)… Pollard Theater…
I had been taking some classes around this time like Creative Writing and some Theater classes… I was considering teaching drama for a bit. So, I was really into plays!
I made reservations at a bed and breakfast right by the theater, ordered tickets to the play showing at that time “House of Blue Leaves.”
It was going to be wonderful, we would go eat dinner, then see the play… maybe walk around down town guthrie for a while and then go up to the room at the bed and breakfast… wake up as late as we chose to, go down for breakfast, window shop the antique stores and then head home after a bite of lunch… sounds so nice huh?
Here’s what happened.
We arrived in Guthrie, ate dinner and headed for the play. I had not been feeling well earlier in the day. Matt didn’t like the play. At all. We stepped outside for a breath of fresh air during intermission when he let me know he had no plans to return for the second half. We headed up to the room. He was very displeased to find there was no t.v. in our room. How would he watch the news for goodness sakes? His remedy? A late night drive to the Walmart in town to buy (you guessed it) a small television. He hoisted that thing up two flights of stairs to our room and we did catch the news. When we woke up it wasn’t in his plans to have breakfast with the other guests at the b&b so we scurried to yours and my favorite fine dining establishment for an egg mcmuffin! (on our way out of town)… This was June 17. Our anniversary. Amanda’s birthday is July 28. He walks in, sets the television down in it’s box and announces to Amanda “Happy Birthday, I’ve bought you a television.” The perfect ending to a wonderful night out…
Remembering this night out is funny to me. Matt usually liked to see plays and is a great sport for things I plan. It was just an off date for us.
You know, looking back at this date I realize it wasn’t that bad, especially compared to our 15th anniversary which was spent in a hospital room with Izzy shortly after her near drowning accident. Sometimes occurrences put life into perspective…
I do love Matt and we have the best times together, just not in Guthrie.

Be sure to sign up and share your tales of a date gone wrong…
