Leave Happy Birthday wishes for Mike Reno all this month. Then on February 1st, I will choose one person from all the commenters to win a pair of tickets to the Loverboy show in the town closest to where they live.

I just wanted to let everyone know that today, Mike Reno, leadsinger of the band, Loverboy, is 55. If you have the time, hop on over to the band's offical website and wish him a happy birthday.
Or if you live in the Vancouver area, the band will be performing at the Commedore Ballroom tonight and tomorrow night. Give him your birthday wishes then.

I have a talk radio show, and I plan on making it interesting, fun, educational and interactive. Stay tuned for the line-up, as well as the date and time the show will be airing.

Hello everyone,

Sorry I haven't posted in a couple of days, but I have been under the weather, and I have been doing things with my business. Yesterday I was doing a bridal expo in Baton Rouge.

Anyway, I need some ideas as to what to title my newest blog. It is going to be the place where I showcase my writing; I will be posting a couple of excerpts from my first novel, "Playing With Fire" sometime this week.

I guess I could make it a contest, and the winner who has the best title for my blog, I will send them a $25 gift card to Barnes and Noble and a $25 Starbucks gift card as well. How good is that....a good book, and good coffee. It doesn't get any better that that!

So, be thinking about what I should call my blog. I am going to draw a winner on February 28th, and the winner will be posted on this blog. So, good luck to all of you!

Ok, I admit it....blogging is alot of fun! I never realized just how much until I started searching out other mom bloggers, and reading what they have to say.
And reading their blogs, it has opened up the dam of creative juices and gotten them flowing non-stop; where they end up, and how it comes out....well, only time will tell.

I have found so many great blogs, and joined some really great sites. I have alot of ideas planned for my blog, and I hope everyone will join me for the ride.

For now, though, here are some posts that I really liked and got inspired by from just reading them. I hope you will vote for them, and mine as well.

I would like to thank you all for stopping by, and taking the time to read about the things that are going on at my place. Hopefully I will be posting every day; but with hurricane season looming over us until the end of November, and hurricane Ike threatening the Gulf Coast right now, we never know when we'll have to run.

Anyway, this blog is going to center on things in my life: my family, business, writing and anything else that may seem interesting. Also, I would love if all my readers would post their comments and feelings about what they read.

I will also be having monthly contests for anyone who subscribes to my blog, and the first contest will be next month. If anyone has any ideas, please feel free to submit your suggestions to me at partiesbyellen@mail.com. If I use your suggestion, you will receive a $50 gift certificate to use at my online shop, Terry's Gifts n More: www.freewebs.com/terrysgiftsnmore

Remember to keep checking back every day, as I will be posting as often as I am able to.
