I sure hope this works, I'm sooo computer repressed!
In case it does, this is the Prince and the Princess at the Con! (I could actually pass as his GM)
What a great experience this has been!! As soon as I get my film developed (I only have a disposable film camera..I TOLD YOU I'M TECHNOLOGY CHALLANGED!!) I'll post some pics of Edward at the Con!
As I always say.......I will try to make this short story just that....a short story. For those of you that don't know, a good friend of mine that I met on the TM site, Karen G. sent me a 6ft. free standing cardboard cut out of Edward. It took a while to get used to him being in the house you know he's very quiet and doesn't move around much. Sometimes after you leave the room and then you walk back in Edward is just there...in all his glory....your heart skips a beat or thumps a little faster....in a good way. It's like in the movie when Bella wakes and thinks she sees Edward at the end of her bed.....and that is exactly where I put him when he first came to stay with me. I liked waking up to that in the morning but it was a little difficult to get around, so I moved him.
I was moving him on the morning of Feb. 1 2009 and as I picked him up and crossed the room, first there was a loud noise and then Edward was jerked out of my arms....thrown to the floor. I had forgotten about my ceiling fan.His head had hit one of the blades and it had broken off and as it was falling the jagged edge missed my eye by inches.....I'm not exaggerating about this....inches....from my eye. It was like slow motion ....flew by still spinning and almost clipped my shoulder. I searched Edward from tip to bottom (not an unpleasant thing to do even with cardboard) and the only damage was a tiny chunk of hair that was missing and a bent piece of hair that was easy to move back into place. I picked up the paddle that had almost decapitated both of us and girls....let me tell you.....it had broken where the metal part was.....yea Edwards hair broke metal.
I am more careful now when I move Edward around..... I'm very watchful of any ceiling fans, vengeful vampires or the Volturi even though they would be no match for my flat Edward.
No vampires or old women who feel 17 were hurt during the making of this adventure.......
Hope that Edward is having a fun time at the convention!! Can't wait to see pictures and hear about his adventures!! Have a good evening everyone!! And here is a picture of me!
Hi, Goldens! Yay!!! I finally figured how to upload an image...I am allergic to pics...this is a headshot I use on my songwriting sites, so I thought I would vamp it up...do you like the eyes? :)
Here is Edward beginning the adventure at dinner on Valentines Day! The wine was red and quenched my thirst.
He enjoyed his evening out even though he could not eat!
Edward has arrived in San Ramon California on Valentines Day! How cool is that! He will be coming to school with me next week so I can show him off to all my students and fellow teachers!
I'm getting better at this uploading stuff all the time. Here finally is a picture of my user name's inspiration, Morning Glory. She is the grey on the right and was the sweetest mare and I miss her greatly. I have a new boy who is pictured here with my sister Erin. His name is Marco NA (NA stands for North Arabians who were kind enough to practically give me this young horse, I bought him way below market value). Anyway, enough of that. I suggested to TC early on in the Edward Golden Adventure that I could do a DVD of all the pictures taken by all of you as Edward travels the expanse of the coven. I've done several of these slideshow DVDs, set to music, for friends when we've traveled together. I put music together for horse shows so I have over 11,000 pieces of music available or can easily download whatever you would like to use with your pictures if I don't have it already. If you all are interested I would need you to email your photos (jpg files) or send me a disk of your pictures that I can download, I'll mix it with the music and add some graphics for introducing each leg of the adventure and then burn a copy for everyone that participated. Let me know what you think and if your interested. Patty
Hi Y'all,
Look what my DD helped me do! That's me with more hair than I have now! What d'ya think?
1 Week til the con and the adventures start!!! BooYah!!!!
Thanks for the help Tobey, you're the best. This is my best side, physically and figuratively, with my horse. This was my other beautiful girl, "Sienna." She is in horse heaven with Morning Glory. Hope to take Edward trail riding when he shows up either as Flat Edward or Edward the Doll. Patty
This me,(Rochelle) and my DD when we were in Florida in November.
I would also love to see pictures of you wonderful ladies!
My next picture should be of me and Edward starting our adventure!!
Hi Ladies! Just trying this out. It is really easy to add pictures. This is going to be so much fun!!!
Hi everyone! We are anxiously awaiting Edward's arrival. Gunna take him a fishin' and a huntin' and Ellie May wants to teach him to square dance!
Yeah! I have done something my younger sister who works with computers hasn't done. I've blogged! This is too cool! Thanks, Tobey, for helping me learn something new!
Hey, just me agian experimenting with the photos. Thought I'd send a photo of me to get more aquainted; put a face with the name. Hope to see your faces soon.
Hello gang. I hope this makes it to where it's suppossed to go; I'm trying to figure all this new tech. stuff out. I loved your entry Mic; You have to add the fan incident. It is so Edward and Bella.
It's good to see so many of you here and seeing how it all works. If you want to post a picture, above where you type your text in there is a whole row of different icons and things to format your post.....third from the RIGHT is a picture, yes, it is a picture, click on that it gives you options, add a picture from your computer or add an image from the web....you can choose where in your post you want it.....I have added my current fave of Edward....errrr Rob......I don't think that Alice would have ever let him out of the house in this shirt...oops, that's because I took that picture of him here at my house.....LOL!!!! and I wouldn't let him out of the house either!! ENJOY!
...I think I've figured it out. If so, you were right Tobey - very easy! You did a great job! Thank you!
It took me forever to find where to post this and I hope I will be able to find it again. Thanks, Toby for all of your hard work.
Hooray for Goldens and all of our Adventures! ! !
No one needs help when you have Flat Edward in the backseat--you want him all for yourself!

Hi, Goldens!
Here is the list for Edward as it was requested...If we use flat rate priority mail, it doesn't matter about trying to route the package because it is one price anywhere in the country, so we can just go down the list unless there are specific requests...If it is not a good time for the next person on the list, then they can be skipped and tried again on the next round. :)

Let me begin at the beginning and the beginning is"Twilight." I eventually would read all the books (several times and counting) but it was after reading the first that led me to TMs, which is where I met Karen G and we became sister close in no time. Now when Karen told me she was sending me a Twilight poster I was very grateful.....of course I didn't know where a 55 year old woman should hang a poster of a 17 year old vampire.....I mean that hadn't come up on any HGTV shows I'ld seen. Well it turned out I didn't have to worry about it because my poster was actually a 6 ft -free standing-cardboard-beautiful- cut out of Edward......flat Edward to those of us that know him personally. I was thrilled beyond words (and that's not easy for me) and I couldn't stop giggling like a little girl.
So how do you repay someone for a cardboard gift that makes you feel young again just from the humor in it. Well you haul flat Edward to the State Park and prop him up by a sign on a busy highway and take a picture of him. And you do it fast......before the Game Warden or a friendly motorist stops to ask if you need any help....I've got a 6 ft Edward in the back of my car of course I need help. And then you rush home to post it for your friend and all the other members of your Golden Coven to see. And with that I gave back the gift of laughter and possibly some giggles and we all felt like little girls again. What a glorious gift....for anybody to open.....and with that Edward's Golden Adventures began..............mic
OK.... let's see if I can find my way without stumbling too much....but remember Bella stumbled quite a bit and look what she ended up finding.............mic
