I am attending my first tea party and I am going to blog about it.  It will probably be on the fly and not edited very well, but at least I have a record of it!  I can tell you right now that I am so excited to be participating in helping our country recover.

I almost did not make it.  Health problems have been an issue for me, but I will spare you the gorey details.  Lemmie just say this.  A biopsy, two incisions and four stitches later, I am back on my feet and HAPPY to be in San Antonio!

The drive from Austin was ok, until I hit downtown San Antonio.  Road construction closed down all lanes of the freeway for about a mile, and it slowed down to a crawl for about 45 minutes.  I do not think I have ever been in this city where there was not some form of road construction going on.

I arrived at the Menger Hotel which is right at the heart of the Alamo Plaza around 10PM and checked in right behind Janine Turner.  If you do not know who she is, YOU SHOULD!  She is an actress who starred in several big roles.  Northern Exposure was my favorite, but Janine also is one of the founders of TeamSarah.org.  She signed the poster I made for tomorrow, and her daughter Juliette took a picture of us together in the lobby.

Janine Turner and me

  Janine is gracious and beautiful, and her daughter is a bright intelligent young woman.  I would bet that Juliette will make a big contribution to our world some day.

I am here not only representing myself and my family, but some very special friends as well.  We are a group of women who met online during the election.  We knew each other through our children, who all happen to have been born with a very cool extra chromosome.  Our group evolved to be called the Lipstick Princesses.  It is a tight knit group that support each other and bounce political ideas off of each other all the time.  We laugh together and pray together, and sometimes even cry together.  The really interesting thing is, most of us have never met! 

HALLOW to my PRINCESS PEEPS!

This trip also launches the Princesshood of the Traveling Tiara.  It will travel among us and hopefully have it’s own web site soon.  There are no rules about how it will work out, but we are going to let it have a life of it’s own.

The Princesshood of the Traveling Tiara!

Ok, I am tired and have a big day tomorrow.  More later!!!
