I love the last graphic. So very true!

Jill said...

Your luncheon looks like so much fun! Glad you are able to actually get together with friends from blogland.

Love that bra holster!

nancygrayce said...

I was showing the bra holster to the superhero. He said "she has giant boobs, I don't think you would conceal that we'll!" WHAT????? :)

Cranberry Morning said...

That is such a cute cupcake plant!! What a clever idea.

Jeanne said...

That quote is so true isn't it! I feel like I've been rushing too much and it's time to slow down!
Your friend Sue went out - looks like a great time was had for sure!

Jeanie said...

I love the cupcake bouquet...very clever and easy.
Some good tips today for using common household items.

Coloring Outside the Lines said...

Love the last quote. Not sure I wouldn't shoot my left boob off with that bra holster, but I guess if you knew what you were doing it would be a good thing.

Donna said...

Awww! Love the cupcake bouquet!
hughugs

Cathy said...

Sounds like you guys had wonderful party. Everything looked so pretty. I had to laugh at the bra holster. And the Victoria Secrets is the best!

Debbie said...

OK, before I forget: I love that last quote about rushing through life.

Now, about the bra holster. I can not figure out how it is concealed so well on those tiny women. Plus, I would shoot myself in the stomach, I just know it...

But I still think it's a cool idea. I do not have a gun. I do not know how to use one. I want to learn and need to learn. It's on my "soon to do" list.

Debby@Just Breathe said...

Lots of information today....great advice! Happy Tuesday....Debby

Linda @ A La Carte said...

We did have such a great time at the luncheon! Love the cupcake bouquet!!
hugs,
Linda

MadSnapper said...

alcohol does soothe rash, bob just had one and so does cold water, as in the pool or icy water wash clothes.

Blondee said...

Awww...nice little get together!!

Very fun fact filled post! :)

Elizabeth Edwards said...

TARYTERRE said...

Love the cupcake bouquet. Looks like a GREAT party.

I'm mostly known as 'MA' said...

You've provided us with a terrific post for this Tuesday! Yes, I too liked the graphic on the end. It's so true! I've experienced it over and over!

Cheryl @ TFD said...

Love that you get to see blog friends and party!

The cupcake plant is a neat idea. And so is the bra holster. Hopefully, we won't ever wish we had one!!

Ginny Hartzler said...

YIKES, a BRA GUN!!! Not for ME, I would shoot my nipples off for sure! Plus, most attackers come from behind, and I am certainly NOT getting a butt gun!

MunirGhiasuddin said...

Wow, I hope that we don't really have to hide a gun in there. LOL
The pin cushion cup cakes display is cute.
Thanks for the list of restaurants for free bees.

Empress Bee (of the high sea) said...

"Get rid of wars with duct tape."

not too sure about that one but i sure did get a good laugh honey!

smiles, bee
xoxo

Bev said...

Great info...and cute lift and love the victoria secret!

Paula said...

Victoria ain't very nice, is she?

Nonnie said...

Love the cupcake idea, the tips, the laugh and the lift. I was wondering if the duct tape is really the answer to war, or if it is a way to get rid of a wart. Should we send that one to Congress?

Sharon said...

I'm gonna try lemon for those pesky age spots - remember I just blogged about them?!

And, I love the cupcake plant. I might try that sometime. Now all I have to do is start being a baker.

And, Victoria told me the secret...NEVER go out without a bra - industrial strength.

xo

Optimistic Existentialist said...

I had no idea that all these freebies were out there to be had with these restaurant meals. I am especially intrigued by the Starbuck's birthday offer :)

Terri D said...

What a beautiful table setting for a very fun celebration!! It's a great idea to get together with blogging friends who live close enough to enjoy the party! I love the cookies in a jar!! Awesome!

Another fun post, Sandie.

LL Cool Joe said...

I'll have to try the lemon on my sun spots on my arms!

barbara woods said...

can you stand up in those shoes?

jp@A Green Ridge said...

Love that cupcake centerpiece!! AWESOME...I'll have to remember that!! Also LOL that Victoria didn't tell her the secret!!! At least, I'm not the only one!!...:)JP

Saimi said...

A little of this and a little of that and it's all good!!!

Ann said...

love the idea with the cupcakes. very clever.
Victoria won't tell me the secret either....lol

Ms. A said...

I'd need some boobs to be able to conceal even a small gun!

Susan said...

Ohhhh, that was a great post, Sandie. Lots of good stuff.

I doubt I'd carry a pistol in a bra holster. ha ha ha I mean, I COULD but knowing me, I'd probably shoot myself. ha haha

Loved the cupcake bouquet, too.

Have a great night. Susan

Sally Wessely said...

I'm not so sure I'd feel safe with that bra holster. I would no doubt shoot myself. I also would like to know Victoria's secret. ;)

Jim said...

Good one today, Sandie. I knew those home remedy items were ALL TRUE.

If you have a Luby's Cafeteria they will send you a coupon for a free meal on your BDay.

I like the looks of those Atlanta Blogger Girls. YOu didn't tell which one was you. XD
..
Oh yes, I am going to send my daughter and GD the picture of your cupcake flowering plant.

Hmmm - I have been chewed on by mosquitoes during early morning plant watering - I'll try that banana thing. :)

The luncheon sounded like great fun!
