just wow

I spent the last 4 days pushing a cause.  I am not a cause blogger.  I blog cause I want to.  I put away my super man cape years ago when I realized I was helping everyone but myself.  But I got out the old  ratty moth riddled cape and blue the dust off it.


Since my cape was all crusty and stuff, and I am not a famous big name blogger or a "known name"   I turned to you, my friends,  my readers, other bloggers.  You did not let me down.  You ironed and starched your capes. and took off with the cause of support for Trevor.  Trevor is 13 in UAB having serious open heart surgery today 11/30/2010.


If you haven't please go click attending on his FaceBook event Blue Out for Trevor by clicking here.


The amount of comments offering well wishes, prayers, support on all of the blogs and facebook walls simply has blown my mind.  So I tried to " summarize" it for Trevor and his family by making a little video.  Enjoy









Think of Trevor today and his family.  It has been a real honor watching social media support Trevor.

Here is why.  Trevor is 13.  Trevor is in UAB hospital. Tomorrow, Tuesday 11/30/2010,  Trevor will be having a serious open heart surgery.  I found out via his cousin Heather who simply emailed asking for people to pray for him.  So I thought for a second and began wondering if the blogosphere or social media in general could do anything to help.

It did here's just a couple examples

and she's mailing it to him.

The comments on JC's post were so wonderful.


So there ya go, social media isn't just used to sell  stuffed sock monkey dolls and  join in coupon /recipe rings.  It can be overwhelmingly wonderful.  

This is an example of why I am proud of  my internet community.

Thanks guys, and if you are a blogger and you want to link up go to http://www.thepeachy1.com
If you want your facebook colored blue  friend me on FB and comment on the wall.
If you want a twibbon for twitter it's there.

PEACH OUT

It's just wrong

At one time long ago when I had a little spare cash and lived in climate friendly Florida I participated in the  mayhem that is "BLACK FRIDAY".   I had my daughter and her friends, they had maps, lists, my plastic, they were strategically placed at stores for optimum item retrieval.  They went through my boot camp which  I modeled after Navy Seal boot camp and my entire seasons shopping was done before 11am on the Friday following Thanksgiving.  I was a warrior.  They were my legion.

Now my daughter is away at college and I am not sure if there is even enough cash in the bank to gas up the van. Not to mention that you couldn't drag me into a store this morning unless I was allowed to bring a Tazer and ride one of those scooters after it was beefed up and had spiked wheels and a force field. Oh and the guys in this video.



So I will lay about grazing on left overs, wondering why I didn't sleep in, watching the news stories roll in about the madness that has taken place all in the interest of "holiday spirit".

If you find great deals, go ahead and pick something up for me. I always love gifts, or you can just go ahead and get yourself something nice and say it's from me that way you don't look all greedy and stuff.  I love you that  much.
