Whoo - Hoo! I may be sleep deprived from having a sick child and, I may be spending the better part of the day cleaning up after said sick child but, hey! I'm going to celebrate my birthday a day early (It's really on 7/11) and make sure all of my VGNO friends get gifts too! Let's get this Virtual Girls Night Out going!!!
First Virtual GNO party? Welcome! The original Virtual GNO is a blog-hopping party that I started last summer. (Wow! I can't believe it's been a year!) I really needed some time away from my precious children, and some adult conversation but, I couldn't get a sitter. So, I did the next best thing and turned to my blog friends. At least I can "get out" in my imagination.
Get Your BLOG Over Here!
To join the blog-hopping fun, check out this VGNO post then sign the Mr. Linky guest book with your name/blog link. Visit fellow bloggers that have signed in. It's a party so at a party you mingle, right? Go blog-hopping! I want everyone to connect. That's what it's all about.
Time To Move!

Happy Birthday, Happy VGNO Anniversary! I was checking about an hr ago to see if your post was up, then left for all my errands, but typical me, left my purse at home, so I'm back to get $...at least the library lets your kids check out books with your car registration as ID....so funny!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the sick kid, but you are so lucky, COLDPLAY and your mom is an ANGEL!!!
Have an awesome time, I'm indecisive....Jimmy Buffett, the Eagles and/or Nickelback, then there's Chris Daughtry....OK gotta go, kids are still in the car :)
I'll be back later to enter the contest a few more times, but the Appletini Body Wash sounds yummy!
Happy Birthday to You!!!
ReplyDeleteI like the Oh My! I Smell Delicious Perfume.
I hope you have a wonderful time at the concert!
Wishing you a very happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend. Hope your sick child is better, too!
Hard time deciding but I have been on a lemon kick lately so I'd have to say the lemon drop cookie soaps. I can smell them already :)

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Ann! I hope you have an amazing evening out (Coldplay--so jealous!) and that your real actual day tomorrow is also fun and relaxing.
ReplyDeleteI like so many different kinds of music, it's hard to pick just one band for my fantasy birthday party. But...if I had to pick just one, how about U2?
Happy Birthday Ann. Hope you have a great day tomorrow and do lots of nice things.

Happy birthday Anne!!!!! I hope your day is filled with love and fun!! Have a great one! Happy VGNO :)
