School's Out - For - SUMMER!
Today was my daughter's last day of school. On to having a 7th grader and a Sophomore in High School. *gulp* Wait a minute... I have a H.S. Sophmore??? Stop this time machine please! It's going way too fast! How about I distract myself from the "where has the time gone?" feelings and get going on a Virtual Girls Night Out!
For our weekly Friday night blog hopping party all you need to make this party complete is to grab a beverage of your choice (cocktail recipe below for inspiration) and your fuzzy slippers! I started this blog party in 2008 and bloggers have been virtually partying ever since. All You Do To participate In The Virtual GNO: Link up your blog below and visit your fellow party guests - say "Happy VGNO!!!" Share the blog game/meme on your site to play along.

Time For A Party Game!
As I look around my house I see a LOT of Barbie's. There's the Barbie in her scuba suit and the Barbie who's a Vet. These Barbie's are outside on the swing-set and in the garden too. But, these dolls don't represent the way I think they should. If I were a Barbie I would be "Sunscreen Barbie". Follow the chart below to see which Barbie you would be.
