By my calendar it says that this is the first day of Spring! Yeah!!! Now, for some of us, snow is still falling. What the ?!? Well, let's over-look the still winter weather and do what we can to create that happy, sunshine feeling. Let's have a Virtual Girls Night Out!
A Virtual Girls Night Out (boys welcome too)is a social, blog-hopping party. A way for us to meet others without having to get out of cozy p.j.'s and fluffy slippers (Boys, I'm not judging ;->). The Virtual GNO is your chance to hang out with blog friends and hopefully make some new friends as well. Sign Mr. Linky below and join in the fun!
Time To Groove!
Cheryl, "The Daily Blonde" brought this video to my attention and I felt it was a great way to share that warm and fuzzy Spring-like feeling.
Free Hugs Campaign w/ music by Sick Puppies
I swear to God I cry every time that little lady hugs him in the beginning. Every time!!!
So now that the season of growth and renewal is upon us do you have plans to work in the garden? Perhaps start a garden? My husband totally gets into it. He's Farmer Rob all Spring and Summer. He even has a new green house to put together! (Anyone want to come over for pizza and beer and raise a green house? Yes?!) The idea of that work makes me thirsty :->
Time For A Cocktail!
Since the budget is a bit tight for just about all of us involved I'm keeping this weeks selection low-key.
MAIDEN'S BLUSH
Ingredients:
*Light, sweet red wine
*Seltzer
*Lemonade
~Serve in goblets, and for a bit of spring flair, serve with the rose petals floating on the top. (Can easily be made alcohol free)
Time For Some Fun!
Here's a fun site that helps you find Words In Words. Wordles.com. I want you to take your Blog title and see how many fun words can be found. I've got a lot of "A" 's in my title so silliness is a bit limited. Here it goes:
~Ding
~Gag
~Gaga
~Gin
~Nag
Nag?!! Not me. Now go see what your title creates. Have you done it yet? Have you done it now? Now?? (Nag? Nope,not me ;->)
Time For A Giveaway!
Our dear friend Martha from The Daily Grind was so happy to win our first Virtual GNO giveaway 2 weeks ago that she's decided to hold a giveaway herself. She is offering a Springy Pedicure package featuring products from Piggy Polish and O.P.I. Visit her site to enter.
Now go have fun! Sign in with Mr. Linky below to join the Virtual GNO. Visit those that sign-in! Go blog-hopping! That's what it's all about. And I would love to meet your blog friends. Post A LINK to our party on your blog and hopefully they will join us :->. Send our party into Twitter world. The more the merrier! 
**** And please remember to be kind to your fellow blogger ****

ReplyDeleteTwitter is like super annoying some days.
That video made me cry! Thank you for sharing that!
ReplyDeleteThat drink sounds like just the thing for a lovely spring day!
Okay anything suggested by blondie makes me sit up and take notice.. My 11yrold heard the music and walked in the room just now.. she loved the video!
ReplyDeleteI am working really hard to get a post hammered out.. if I do.. I'll be so proud. linking anyway.. enjoy yesterday's post?
Ha!
I love VGNO! Thanks Ann!
ReplyDeleteOooh! Can I come over and play? There aren't too many gardens here in the urban landscape where I live. :( Though you might have to teach this city girl a thing or two. I definitely have a black thumb. :(
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring! Happy GNO! Off to mingle!
I need a GNO! Been sick all week, so a Virtual GNO is perfect! Although I am not coherent enough at the moment to comprehend all of the instructions. : (
ReplyDeleteHa. Maybe I should just be resting!
I did "words in words" my blog name. There are too many results! I am choosing: Argyle and Fleshly.
ok, i HAD to post that video on my VGNO blog post! way cool, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletei did my blog name and had like 20 pages of possible word combos. goodness! so i won't post them all here :)
i hope you have a GREAT weekend, i will do my best to visit everyone tonight, but the hubby will be home early and it drives him BANANAS when i'm geeking on here all night.
Love the hug video. I'm sooo ready for Friday! Happy VGNO!
ReplyDeleteHave fun tonight! Hope you are well and enjoying the first day of spring!
ReplyDeleteI'm a little late but I'm here. What's up Lady. I have a white merlot, so that's a sweet wine and I have lemon juice but no seltzer. Maybe a splash of ginger ale will do for the fizz.
ReplyDeleteI promise I'll try the list sometime but too much to do now! Gotta find time to check out everyone's blogs in between getting ready for the tie dye slumber party tomorrow night....not for me darn it....for my favorite girl Delaney who'll be 8 tomorrow! And of course my husband scheduled dinner out with some old co workers, Old Market Pub...maybe we can squeeze in some shuffle board! CHEERS everyone!
