I am not trying to brag here.
Who am I kidding – YES I AM!
PEOPLE. I GET TO GO SEE DURAN DURAN!
I have a very special connection with Duran Duran. Simon LeBon and I share the same birthday.
But he’s older. Just to clarify.
Do you remember the 20th anniversary of my 16th birthday?
I shared my cake with him. And even made sure he was kind-of at the party with me:
I GET TO SEE DURAN DURAN IN CONCERT!!!

In other news – about me… (Um, this IS JENNY on the spot)… The morning after the concert, I am holding another diaper drive. I am committed like that. Did I tell you that we received 984 diapers and $260 last week?
I am so excited to see what comes in this Saturday! I am so excited for our local babies!!! Operation Day of Hope – here come diapers!!!
I had already planned the diaper drive WEEEEEEEKS ago, then my friend Lisa was all, “DURAN DURAN!” And I was all, “But… diaper drive… next day… tired… busy… irresponsible…” Lisa was all, “DURAN DURAN!” And I was all, “You are totally right.”

The morning after the diaper drive (SUNDAY, ya’ll!) I have to get up with the burglars and head on over to the airport so I can catch a flight to Dallas where I will be doing my Ignite Your Inner Sparkle presentation again.
YES!
You can find my first presentation on this topic: here. This time it will be for Southwest Airlines. I am not actually clear on the exact event (they said something about a microphone, and getting to choose my own theme music (Blow, Ke$ha) and NO NEED FOR QUESTIONS! I am there!) I tweaked my original presentation a little for this event because I hear it’s more of a male audience. Despite this fact – I have made more body glitter to pass out and hope I will see lots of sparkly beards, like my friends here from Evo:
My heroes!!! Scott and Ben! GoooooooOOOOO SPARKLE BEARDS!!! Such “tough” guys…
I get back late Monday night… just in time to help 4th graders with their multiplication facts Tuesday morning. Good thing the teacher puts the answers on the back of those flashcards.
Whoa boy.

Do you want me to tell you about the auction I am emcee’ing on October 8th? Well, if you want to come – you can get ticket’s here and if you choose to come you will be helping a worthy cause – children’s musical theatre!!! FTW!!!

This year, the Type-A Parent Conference is partnering with BlogWorld & New Media Expo to offer a BlogWorld parent blogger track! I will be joining my friend Clay (who I met at Type-A Parent 2010… for he was the dynamic moderator of a panel I hid behind the mic on)…
