If you guessed that the two celebrity members I gave you a hint about from Team CureDuchenne were Daryl “Moose” Johnston and Rahib “Rocket” Ismail – you were right! This day has been a strange, Twilight zone experience as I tweeted earlier today live from the event. First of all, I got up at the crack of dawn and left my house by 6:30 a.m. Not normal, ever. And I’m definitely not ever excited about it. I drove an hour across town and walked into the largest manufacturing plant I’ve ever been in. It’s the GM plant that produces every Escalade that is ever made! And the cool thing was that we were able to roll out of the plant in a brand new Escalade straight off the assembly line. The driver? Rocket Ismail! Seriously . . . Here we are – the four of us that rode together (L to R) Rocket Ismail, Debra Miller – founder of CureDuchenne , Me and Ross – our Cadillac escort, he’s an executive with the company. This is my favorite picture of my team – Team CureDuchenne . Aren’t ...

So if you've been following me on Twitter today you know I spent this morning with a horde of current and retired pro athletes. Now I am sitting in the bleachers getting ready to watch my two big boys play t-ball. Later tonight I'll get a full post up about the Team Escalade Texas event this morning....for now I've got to concentrate on my two favorite ball players.

Apparently if you’re interested at all at winning a $20 Purple Cow voucher, you are almost guaranteed to win. We are giving away 4 of them and currently we have three entries by two people . . . guess someone is going to win more than one voucher at this rate! Don’t wait, go ahead and enter now:

If you’ve gotten to know me, you’ll know I tend to treat everyone the same to a fault sometimes. I see everyone as people with faults, cracks, insecurities and wounds . . . if anything I think most celebrities have more than their fair share. But I have to admit I’m thoroughly enjoying the people I am meeting this morning. Sorry, I can’t tell you who they are just yet, but I can give you a hint and you can guess who you think it is. Two of the people I am with have very different nicknames – one travels on all fours and the other is propelled by fire. Don’t forget to support Team CureDuchenne

I am on the road – at a ridiculously early time for this night owl – to go meet the rest of the Team Escalade Texas teams and kick off this incredible event. My face and my body might not be showing it yet, but I am thrilled to be a part of this. This morning we will be driving brand new Escalades from the GM plant in Arlington over to the State Fair where they will be on display during the duration of the Fair. (By the way, the Fair is one of my favorite activities ever.) We will also be participating in a news conference so you never know where you might see my smiling face or read something I said! There are great surprises that I will be tweeting and posting about this morning LIVE from the event. If you want to follow along and know what they are, please add @ melstuffblog on Twitter and look for the hashtag #TeamEscaladeTX – I’ll seriously be checking my Twitter and Facebook as much as possible so feel free to shoot me any questions or comments and I’ll do my best to res...

Anyone ever used Paint’N’Party ? I was thinking of doing Colt’s birthday party there because he is such a painter, but I can’t find out any pricing. In the meantime, if you like them you can get this deal for a little bit longer at Juice in the City :   $10 for $20 at Paint’N’Party

  Okay, first, if you haven’t printed these coupons over at Coupons.com , you need to go do that right now. Don’t put it off. They’ll be gone. I promise. And they’re just too good to miss out on. You should be able to get great deals if not FREE products with these coupons . For example, right now at Walmart they have the 10+2 disposable Schick razors for $1.97. With the $6/2 disposable Schick razors coupon (not pictured) you’ll be able to get both packages for FREE! I don’t use these kinds of razors, but if I can get a deal like this, I pick them up anyway and donate them . Thanks Saving Cents with Sense.
