600

August 18, 2008 — You are welcome to join in the party by telling me what you are bringing, but the prize drawing is now closed.  Thanks to so many for participating!!!

I stayed up way too late last night watching the women’s all-round gymnastics finals. I was bound and determined to watch and see who won the medals. It took everything I had to actually stay awake, though. At one point, there were two blurry Nastia Liuken’s tumbling across my TV screen as my vision blurred and my eyes fought to stay open.

It’s pretty amazing what those young women can do with their bodies. I remember way back in gym class, when we had to do stuff on the balance beam, or the uneven bars: scared the crap out of me. I can barely stay up straight on flat ground, let alone a balance beam, even the one that was just a couple of inches off the ground. And they do tumbling, and turns and and flips? Crazy.

Speaking of crazy, my WordPress dashboard tells me that this my 600th post. I fear that most of those 600 posts are merely inane ramblings, but hopefully one or two sparked a smile or provided inspiration. In honor of such a nice big fat round number, I decided it was time for another blog party.

I’ve got cookies (peanut butter, white chocolate macadamia and double chocolate brownie), pink lemonade and presents.**

All you HAVE to do is show up (i.e. leave a comment by Monday, the 18th, noon Central time), and YOU might be one of the lucky ones to get a present.

What you COULD do if you wanted is let the party spill over to your blog — post about what you are going to bring to the party, along with a link back to my blog. Will you bring adult beverages? A cake? Appetizers? (photograph of goodies is optional…)

Here’s a handy-dandy link you could copy and use if you wanted to do so:

And for the presents? Well, I just happen to know someone who just opened an online shop selling yarn and fabric, and I’ve convinced her to donate TWO $25 gift certificates for this party. TWO!

She did mention that if one of the winners lives outside the US, there will have to be some figuring out of how to actually use the gift certificate, but she’s sure she can work it out.

Time to get the boys to hustle through their (late) breakfast and head to work!

Have a great day!

Suzanne

** I do have to admit that my cookies are made out of frozen cookie dough, but trust me, they are VERY good.

  5. Suzanne, I always seem to be a day and dollar short for all good things.
    Congrats on the 600 posts. I have yet to start a blog, but do read others..
    And for your party I will have salsa and chips and of course a good Texas Pancake for dessert.
    Keep up the good posts.

  8. It may be a bit early in the morning but I want to party too. I’ll be bringing the rum and Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper.
    Happy 600!!!

  10. Hmmm…it would have to be Cocacola Cake; it’s a party tradition at our house. I just found your blog and will have fun exploring it.

  14. Congratulations on your 600th blog aniversary! I have learned so much, about quilting, from all of you in blog land.

    Oh and I will bring chocolate. It’s not a party without lots of chocolate.

  15. Well of course I’ll be there — I have lots of tomatoes in the garden so I’ll bring some home-made gazpacho and a 6-pack of Pacifico!

  20. Hmm. I dont go throught the blog roll just one day and yall plan a party! This is why I need to check 25 times a day! Ü. Lets see I will bring some smoked salmon on toast bites spread with just a little cream cheese, and topped with chives…….Now I am hungry.I will eat after I post on my blog!

  21. Cool – A party! WooHoo!!!! I’ll bring a cream cheese & onion/red pepper jelly dip – a Harry & David specialty – and tortilla chips – to die for!!!

    Congrats on 600 posts!!! A blog is on my list of things “to do”. Yours is awesome Suzanne! Thanks for all you do!!!!

  22. Congratulations on your 600th post, wow what an achievement. I have a bit of a distance to travel to come to the party put I would bring along a very large cheese platter, with grapes, yummy Australian cheese, apples, pears and crackers. Enjoy

  23. Congratulations. I reached 300 later and had a giveway which turned out to be a nice quiet one, only 17 to choose from and disliking choice I am finding charm packs for everyone…great fun. I started off with about 6 to give away.
    So I have a long time, especially since I have been quiet lately to get to the 600 mark.
    All the best and have fun.

  25. 600 posts – wow, congratulations I’m nearly at 100 on mine which came as something of a shock. Sounds like we have plenty of yummy munchies already, so how about I bring some home-made Elderflower Cordial? Diluted with sparkling water it makes a lovely refreshing drink?

  28. 600 posts, Wow! You are my hero. Someday (yea, right) I will have a blog, but where will I find the extra time?
    I’ll bring the celery and creme cheese to hold all the sugar highs at bay!

  30. OMGosh – the room is FULL! Well, I’ll bring shrimp salad and hard crusty French Bread (home made)!

    Count me in, please, and I’ve added YOU to my Bloglines!

    600? wow!!!

  32. Congrats on the 600th post… here’s to many more! I linked to you from my blog, did you see what I’m bringing? Just because “fat” is in the name doesn’t mean there are calories involved! 🙂

  34. Wow, I can only hope I live long enough to make 600! I think I would want to bring Blue Bell ice cream, HOMEMADE VANILLA, and grown up Strawberry margaritas. They don’t usually go together…but in a perfect world they should.

  36. Party, did someone say party? I shall be there with some wine from Northern California and an apple crisp. Congrats on reaching 600 post.

  37. Am I too late for the party???? I’ll be bringing myself & the Twister game (or would the preference be for a Limbo set up??? I could also bring Bocce ball equipment if the lawn area is big enough??

    Happy 600th post.

    In peace & pieces,

    Sherry V.

  38. Congratulations on your 600th post! I’m sorry that I didn’t find your blog until now, but I will make up for it by offering home grown organic apples from the tree in my yeard, They’re ripe and ready right now! (Very tart & make great pies.)

  39. Thanks for the invite! Cyber parties are the best – the calories don’t count!!!
