    Green, Green…My world is green…

    up to no good

    Here’s a sneak peek at the next project for the Great Big Green Puppet Show Birthday Party. We are having way too much fun with this theme. I’m kind of glad I skipped the party-planning extravaganza last year so I don’t feel too bad about going all out this year. It is going to be so fun.

    Rapunzel and I worked on our puppet show script all day today. We had a blast. If nothing else, we are cracking ourselves up with our script-writing. I hope our audience thinks it’s as fun as we do. I filmed our dress rehearsal tonight. That was a hoot. I was tempted to put the movie up for you to watch but it’s ten minutes long with dreadful lulls where we whisper madly at each other because we can’t find the right puppet to go with the next scene. Maybe when we have it more polished I will put up a few scenes.

    greeeeeeeeeeeen!

    Tomorrow I hope to take some better photos of all the latest green activities. Stay tuned!

  • B reviews,  do me a favor,  Family Matters

    Betcha didn’t know I have a review blog.

    My creation

    I know now seems like a horrible time to talk about buying a car and normally I wouldn’t be interested in this sort of thing, but the kind people of General Motors approached me to review their new Chevy Traverse when we were in a time of need. Not me personally but my family.

    It was Thanksgiving and I really wanted my family to visit me for the weekend. You may or may not know about my family’s love affair with broken-down cars. Let’s just say that there are not one, not two but three cars sitting on my mom’s lawn that are not running. We’re classy like that.

    Times have been tough for my brother and his family and I knew it would be a huge financial burden for them to visit both CC’s family and us for Thanksgiving (gas was not as cheap then as it is now). So you can see why I jumped at the chance to test-drive a luxury car for the holiday week.

    CC was kind enough to write about it on my review blog. I bet you didn’t know I have a review blog. Well, I do! You may not be in the market for a new car and I totally understand that but do me a favor and check out CC’s review if only to thank GM for making our holiday together so much nicer. Thank you GM!
