Hello, Mini-Women! As you know -- and if you didn't you do now! - our Live BLog Party is THIS FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. U.S. Central Time.
It wouldn't be a Tween You and Me Blog Party without food, right? We always have a theme, and this time it's HEARTS. Whatever snack you choose to have while we're on here blogging and commenting and giggling and learning stuff about each other -- it needs to be shaped like a HEART or have a HEART on it someplace. That could be a heart-shaped cookie, a heart shape in whipped cream in your hot choclate, a sandwich or piece of pizza cut into a heart shape, some of those heart-shaped candies with ridiculous messages on them that people have around at this time of year (and that I personally think taste like sweet chalk). Anything goes.
One of the things we always do is ask our party participants to take a picture of their theme snack and email it to me (nnrue@att.net) so I can post them on the bajillion posts I write that night. You can also describe it to us when I ask for that during the party. This isn't a contest -- this one's just for fun. Can't wait to see what you come up with.
I think I will definitely want a chocolate heart in a latte . . . But, then, I always want a chocolate heart in a latte!
Blessings,
Nancy Rue

i sent you an e-mail Mrs.Rue.

Hello! I have just subscribed. I will definitely be attending the blog party this Friday. Can't wait! I do have a prayer request. It is a private matter with my family that is really important.

Welcome to the blog Goldie. I am really really sorry, but I won't be able to be at the blog party this Friday. :-( I am going to be DJing my little sister's birthday/ slumber party. I will try to post occasionally. I also have a MAJORLY HUGE PRAYER REQUEST. My cousin was in a bad car accident and is really scratched up. She also has been pushing God away lately and I miss her. :-(

Thank you all for your welcomes! Turns out I won't be able to go to the party. Going on vacation. Yay for vacations, though I would like to be there. Wish I could be in two places at once. :( How often do these parties happen? Or is this the first one?

Ooh, sounds like fun! I've never been to a blog party and can't wait! :)
And about what Nikita said, that Mrs. Rue quoted in the last post: when I read that I was jumping up and down and saying, "Yes, yes, yes! That is SO me!" (Okay, not really, but that was what I was thinking.) That's exactly what I feel like! It's, how come I'm so different from years past, why am I facing so many problems now, and why is it so hard to be me?
It is so hard to be a tween/teen. Not physically, but emotionally. I have no idea what to do, how to act, how to handle all these social problems I've never had to deal with before. It's a mixed bag. Lots of new responsibilities and privileges, but stress, too. Still, overall, I really like being my age, where I'm at. (Just waxin' a little philosophic there... :) )
Praying, everybody! And please pray for me, because it seems like every other minute I'm getting in trouble with my parents because of being sassy or something and it makes all of us pretty miserable.

I can not wait! I am going to invite my friend to go on this blog party, and maybe she will do the blog!

Welcome Goldie!
Mary, I totally get you. Keep readin' and studyin' that Holy Bible and prayin' and writing down all that you hear from God. "Be still, and know that I am God."
I'm going to have heart-shaped chicken w/ a buttered piece of bread (heart shaped) with hot chocolate with strawberry slices. As for dessert, toasted coconut-covered marshmallows arranged in a heart around a scoop of vanilla ice cream, cause "everything's better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream"!
God bless and please pray for me to do well on my history test thursday and my guitar class wednesday... i'm so slow there!!!!:(:(:( thanks a lot, girls!!! ly!

I will be able to be @ the blog party! YAY!!!! I will probably have something heart shaped that is hungarian (I live in Hungary in Europe... its near Germany).

Welcome, Goldie!!!
Sadly, I can't go to the blog party because there is a 9 hour difference between U.S.A. and here. By the time, the blog party starts it would be about 2:00 in the morning. Plus, I go to school on Saturday so I probably wouldn't be allowed to go on the blog party. :(
Hope you guys have fun!!!!

Hey Girls,
I'm so sad-- I won't be able to be here for the whole blog party-- my church is having a ladies event and we have to go get ready for it Friday night :( I'm glad we're having the ladies event, but sad I can't come here-- just like you, Goldie, I want to be in two places at once :)
Welcome! And that's a cute and pretty name :)I just joined recently and I know you'll like as much as I have and do!
I might be able to be here for a LITTLE bit for the blog party... we'll see-- If not hope y'all have a great time!

Thank you guys so much! :) Hope the party will go great for you all! On Friday I'll be in Disney. Even though I love Disney and can't wait to be there, I'm sad I'll have to miss out on the party.
Posted by: Goldie | February 06, 2013 at 12:02 PM
I'll probably have Ginger-snaps. Their heart shaped.
