FLYFEST 10-4-08

Alice and I had a great time at the FlyFest in Dallas. Here we are with Flylady (Marla Cilley) and the Dodge boys (Eric & Andy Dodge). It was great to finally meet the people I've been reading about ... and hearing on Blog Talk radio. If you want to hear Flylady's broadcasts, this is the url : http://www.blogtalkradio.com/stations/flylady/popular.aspx You can listen via the computer or download the podcasts for your MP3. Sometimes I use the podcasts when I'm cleaning the house.

The Dodge boys performed a couple of times during the FlyFest. They're on Blog Talk also. The url is : ttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/search/eric+dodge Alice and I both bought their CD's.

One of my favorite songs is When I Was Your Age. The lyrics start out like this:
"Last night a storm blew up, knocked out our TV.
A disgruntled eight-year-old came running up to me
saying there's nothing to do, with that pitiful pout
asking me what I did when I was a kid
and the cable went out.

And I said, When I was your age life was tough,
We didn't have this high-tech stuff.
Had to get up off your you-know-what and change the channel
Man, life was cruel and times were hard
no DVD's no VCR
they rolled the windows down in cars
with little plastic handles,
no, I don't think you'd last a day if you had to live the way I did,
when I was your age. ...

When I was your age life was tough,
Each time the phone rang you were stuck there.
You'd stay 'til you hung up.
Yeah it was kinda scary we had to do things for our self.
There were ice cube trays to fill.
We looked up words we couldn't spell
in books called Dictionaries.
I bet you wouldn't last a day
If you had to live the way I did
When I was your age."

Below is a picture of Leanne (Dinner Diva), me and Leslie (Missus Smarty Pants). It was so good to meet them. I put Leslie on the spot and made her tell me what body shape I have. She said I'm a B!!!!!!! A generous B, but a B all the same. Good to know because I signed up for the wrong body type. If you want to check out they're websites, these are the url's.

Naturally, I made a tote specifically for the Flyfest. I was pleased with the way it turned out. And I brought a tissue holder for FlyLady as a thank you for all she's done for me. And she wants to carry it in the flyshop as a new item. Pleases me that my design is appreciated.
