Did You Know Tuesday...Luck of the Irish Edition

Let's get right to the "Did You Know" fun, shall we?  

DID YOU KNOW...
that I have been blessed by the luck of the Irish lately?  I have won 3 giveaways in the last two weeks!! Check me out!  I won an $80 gift card to CSN Stores from Otin...a $25 Gift Card to Krogers from Polka Dot Moon (who has a very cool etsy shop btw...) and this morning I won a $60 gift card to CSN Stores from Shannon over at It's Trickey!   I'm hoping this arrives any day now!


DID YOU KNOW...



that this photo of Catherine (who looks psychotic here) and her dance teacher, Caitlin (whom she adores), was taken only an hour before Irish Dancer Girl came down with major illness and had to leave her dance competition?  She could only complete 3 out of 8 dances, poor girl!  We had to high tail it back to Tucson for recuperation asap!  She's doing much better now, thank goodness!

DID YOU KNOW...
that I HATE clowns?  (my evil sister sent me that magnet a while back...grrr...)  My sweet friend Meg shared this little goodie with me...


(amen to that!)  I was checking out Scope's blog and discovered that the
that the first week in August is National Clown Week.  {{{shudder}}}  He shared this "lovely" clown dinner portrait with his dear readers.  What followed after that portrait has caused me nightmares for days! 

Go here to check it out...seriously...(well wait until you're done with my post, then go there because I have an important announcement to make!)



Did You Know...

that today is Teen Caveboy's 14th birthday!!!  Happy Birthday, Connor!!!!! You are the most amazing son in the entire universe! I love you!

Such good tidings to hear! Who doesn't like to win something? hmm? As to the clowns...crreeeepppyyy!

Ick! Clowns don't always scare me, Unless they are meant to look evil.
I'm not a huge fan of clowns. They don't scare me, so much as I don't find them amusing. They tend to be a bit creepy.

Hope your Irish Dancer is on the mend and Happy Birthday to Caveboy!

That Clown Last Supper picture is the scariest think I've ever seen. And it looks like Pennywise -- the clown that still haunts my dreams -- is front and center.

Gee, thanks Dawn.

I think you need to send me proof that red velvet cheese cake exsists. You can just send a piece over night in the mail...be sure to keep it cold.

Tuesday's Tribute...Heartbeat..It's a Lovebeat

Yet Another Jay and Deb Production. I am paying my Tuesday's Tribute to Chilly. Today we celebrate our first Heartaversary. What is a Heartaversary, you ask? Well, settle in with a cuppa and let me weave a tale of wonder... One year ago today I was pacing the waiting room floor of University Medical Center in Tucson waiting for my husband’s surgeon to inform me if Chilly had survived his triple bypass. I’ll spare you the sordid details of how all this came about. I’ll just say that it was very fast and unexpected. The prospect of losing my spouse in my early 40’s wasn’t in my plan obviously. My plan was more of a “hanging with the kiddos, going to the Renaissance Faire, beating my son at Guitar Hero, driving my husband crazy for decades” kind of plan. But God always has a bigger plan for us. In this case, he was trying to keep Chilly on the planet for a while longer. As I have written before, Chilly has had two very challenging years. He has been a diabetic for a couple of decade
