Grand Fuba 2 is in the house. . .

OK - so here I am. Queen Cheese. And I didn't earn that title just because I'm pursuing organic cheese making. I also haven't showered for days. It's an experiement. Actually, who am I kidding - this is pretty common for me in the summer. I mean, who has time to shower when there are so many other fabulous things to do. For instance, how about macrame packaging for organic cheese? Ever thought of that? There are so many uses.

Anyway, I'm getting excited here . . . just want to echo the GF1 by saying that I thought the summer solstice party was a hit - mostly thanks to her hours of hauling stone while I was lounging at my husband's uncle's pool in Arizona, sending encouraging emails. . . I swear, I usually pitch in. Really. I am a really good friend. Anyone else interested in cohosting a party with me? I think I'll be out of town some time in August - so it would be great if you could schedule something for about 2 days after I get back home. I'll definitely show up and forget everything I promised to bring, including extra clothing, grab bag gifts, etc.

I'm not sure what else to post at this point, so I'll leave you with this challenge:

Details:

Find the most fabulous thing you can buy for $5 or UNDER. It can be new or used, although we are trying to push the whole REUSE/RECYCLE concept and I know everyone has some sort of thrift/resale/goodwill shop around them. You have one week to seek out this item. I have no idea what your prize will be - perhaps just pride in being the most fabulous shopper - but, it could be something even better. Like, a "NASCAR FANS PARKING ONLY" sign from my back yard.

I'm outta here. For now.
