What's UP?! I Miss You!

Before I even start with this crazy rambling post, I have to say Happy Birthday to Zoey, she is 1 year old today (she's the one in the tiara).

(Lauren, Zoey and Stephanie)

I can not believe that I haven't blogged in a month.
I apologize.
I just figure you're probably so tired of hearing from me on FB and Twitter that I don't want to bore you.

But I miss blogging. I think I'll make a New Year's resolution to start doing it more. I'll start next year.


So what have I been doing???

Well, I've been busy on the magazine. The next issue comes out in just days and I really hope you like it half as much and I like doing it!
If not, just tell me that you do and you'll make me very happy.

I'm also going to start doing more with our Praise and Coffee Blog Talk Radio Show.
Never heard of it?
That's because we've never done one.
(Don't worry, you're not out of the loop...there's no loop, just a circle. A circle of friends, and you're in it! I'm totally singing that song by Point of Grace)

But we are starting in two weeks when Melissa Mashburn (Praise and Coffee Nights co-Founder) and Ronel Sidney (Praise and Coffee Nights National Director) are here- in Michigan- sleeping in my guest room!

Here is the link to that show, you can chat with us when we're talking...it's really easy!!!
"Starting a Praise and Coffee Night in Your Community"

October 6th at 11:00 AM EST.
Please come chat with us, we'd love to hear from you too!


And tomorrow night...September 22, 2011 at 8pm EST (7pm CST) I will be a guest on The True Vine Online Radio Show. If you're not busy watching Friends (oh wait...that was years ago wasn't it?) then feel free to listen. I'd love that. I promised all my FB friends, so I will promise you too, I'll bake you a cake if you come.

And because you're my sweet blog sisters, I'll also come to all your kids football and soccer games.

All of them that fall on Monday night...that's when I'm not busy.

Interview ~ Hope Today Magazine

So, I'm playing with my friends on Twitter and I get this note that Hope Today Magazine would like to interview me...whatever!

I was shocked, then excited, then scared!

I get so nervous doing these interviews! I'm just sure that they will ask a question (like, "what is your name?") and instead of coming up with a logical answer (like my name), I will panic and start saying "um, um, um" over and over again and then I will throw up.

Well, I have to tell you, Diana from Hope Today Magazine is about as sweet as a person could be and I really should have sent her flowers and candy for all the kind things she said to me. She gave me a huge compliment at the end of our interview and my response was to make some crazy noise like a cow makes when it's sneezing because a piece of hay just got shoved up it's nose.

Then at the end she asks about my legacy and I basically give my last dying words..."I want my family to know that I love them..." ~sigh~

But the good news is, I didn't throw up. Thank you Dear Lord in heaven, I didn't throw up.

And, I do want to thank them for the interview, that was most kind of them!
In all my correspondence with them, they have been super professional and very encouraging!

So anyways, I told my Facebook friends about it yesterday, but here you go bloggy buddies...if the 9 of you (including my mom and mom-in-law) that read my blog would like to hear this...here's my interview:

Hope Today Magazine ~ Sue Cramer

My Girlfriendology Interview

Hello!

I did an interview with Debba from Girlfriendology a couple weeks ago. She is so sweet and we had a great conversation. Feel free to listen in, and by the way, Sam (the dog) makes a couple cameos in the interview. The little stinker was sitting next to me and every time I stopped petting her, she would yelp!

While you're there, sign up for their newsletter, they always have so much going on and you will love all the connections at Girlfriendology!!

Here is the interview: Sue Cramer at Girlfriendology

FYI- On the left, click on either RSS feed or Podcast feed to listen.

(By the way, our conference is now full with over 200 ladies coming!)

Also, I am over at the Internet Cafe' today.
