You are about to read an interview by another oh-so-fabulosa blogger woman: Angei.  If you have ever visited her blog, you already know that she is employed at a radio station and is as genuine and intelligent as it gets.  Did I mention her frog fetish? The photo albums on her blog scream that message loud and clear! 

Now go ahead and enjoy Angei’s interview:

Recently I had the pleasure of meeting Deannie via the blogosphere.  After responding to her interview request for the BlogHer ‘06 networking party, Sue (Mominator) and I turned the tables and tagged Deannie.  In posting her interview responses, you will agree that I’ve only touched the surface in learning more about this fabulous woman:

Although I will not be attending the big BlogHer ‘06 bash in San Jose on July 28th, I’m joining the “mixer” started by Mocha Momma.  Deannie asked me to submit my interview responses to her, and she posted them on her blog… alongside Sue! (Hey girl!)  *doin’ my little happy dance*  How fun is that?

Thanks Mocha & Deannie.  You ladies are so very ab fab.  And I mean that.  I do.

Suddenly, and it truly was SUDDEN as is often the case in the smoldering hot midwestern summer days, dark clouds started drifting toward the ministry.  Black clouds!!!  I don’t think I could’ve high-tailed it any faster out of that office as those clouds moved in and the winds picked up.  Literally, I felt like Dorothy in “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.” 

Fortunately, my little SUV and I made it home safely through low visibility and high winds. *whew!*  But I must admit that my life flashed before my eyes as the storm followed me home.  Every little dip and swirl in the cloud formations above caused my mind to race… I envisioned myself seeking cover in a ditch as a tornado swept down and carried me away!  (”Fright or flight” response?  Probably.) 

When I made it in the door?  I hugged Catholic Dad and kids that much tighter.  And I live in Tornado Alley because…?
