Potpourri

I was going to entitle this post hodgepodge, but potpourri had a classier ring to it. Anyway, I have a couple topics that I’m combining into this single post, so I’ll try not to lose anyone.

First and foremost, I’m being interviewed today by Gina Maxwell over at Passions on Paper. It’s part of her FANtastic Friday series where she culls out one of her loyal followers and grills interviews them as a way to better get to know her fans. Gina has a snarky wit that’s just my cup of tea and I love her blog. If you’re curious to read what she gets me to open up about, click on over and check it out. :)

Second and foremost (I know…I know…but it really is just as important as my interview), if you glanced at my sidebar you’ll have noticed I reached the magical 300 followers. Yee haw!!!! You know what that means?! That’s right, my THIS IS SPARTA! – A 300 Celebration. Thanks to Sarah (Falen) for the title idea. The details will be coming next week and I can’t wait to show you what I have planned for you guys.

Finally and foremost (now I’m just being silly), just a reminder about my Blogging Buddies around the Globe quest. I still need 16 states and oodles of countries to complete my goal and I’m going to need everybody’s help to make this happen. If you haven’t posted a comment yet…please do…even if your state/country is already represented. I really want to know where my active ‘Like Minded’ hail from.

Have a GREAT weekend everybody!

    *giving obnoxious Hollywood air-kisses on each cheek*

    Thanks so much for the super-sweet comments about my blog, darling! It was an absolute blast having you over.

    I'm so proud (a.k.a. jealous) of your 300 accomplishment and super excited for the contest. And being as though 300 is one of my favorite movies (hellooooo half-naked gerard butler in super slo-mo!) I am LOVING the title. ;)

    I'll catch you later, doll. Let's do lunch sometime. Have your people call my people. *muuuuahh* Ciao!

    Great interview. Also, I have good news for you: I am pretty sure it's become acceptable to split infinitives. Still no comma splices, though.
