Tea Party Queen!

Please forgive me and come back to visit! I admit it...I have been a terrible blogger lately! I hope you all will truly forgive me because it has been for a good cause! What started out as co-chairing the Atlanta Tea Party several weeks ago, has turned into a job (non paying) of nationwide event coordinator of the Tax Day Tea Party. There is a huge Tea Party movement that is sweeping this great country like a raging wildfire out of control. If you haven't heard, where are you! Wake up!

We are 10 days into the Tax Day Tea Party movement and I have successfully scheduled 115 tea parties in 45 states and have at least 10 more tea parties in the works! Wow! Yes, my head is spinning and I am punchy! Everyone of these parties is scheduled in a town near you on April 15, 2009! You can find a tea party near you here.

Despite my sleep deprivation, I am absolutely thrilled that the sleeping giant has been awakened! This movement has taken on a life of it's own! I cannot even begin to express the amount of emails and FaceBook messages I am getting! Right now, my FaceBook inbox has 130 messages and my email inbox has 161 messages! My phone is ringing off the hook! Ringing so much that we just reached the end of our billing cycle and I went $160 over in my minutes! Mr. Southern Belle is not happy! I literally have been working on this for 12 to 14 hours a day and I am not the only one! There are 3 or 4 others that are working just as hard! Each and everyone of us are thrilled to be part of such a movement.

The tea party patriots and friends have been great and have offered a lot of support! Everyone keeps sending messages offering to help and I direct them to the tea party coordinator for that specific city. Many people have offered to help me personally, but I have politely turned them down. You know, I am a woman! I can do it all! Well, not so much with this tea party movement. I always feel bad asking for people to help, but I am going to now.

So, here goes...what I need is for some guest authors to write a few blog posts until I can get caught up on the tea party movement! Anyone out there have anything to add? I would love to hear from you! Anything political for local, state, or national...can you help me out here fellow bloggers and friends? I hope I am not breaking some blogging etiquette, but I just cannot keep up right now! Even if it is only a political cartoon, I need help! If it is funny, even better! Just send an email to southernbelleblog@gmail.com!

So for now, I will try to post an entry tomorrow with a little more detail about exactly how the movement is taking place. It is very exciting and I have a lot to add. However, after a day of getting at least a hundred or so emails on sending a tea bag to Washington, hundreds of emails inquiring about hosting a tea party, several dozen emails on winning the UK lottery, along with emails informing me of hidden money in Sudan, followed by a conference call that lasted until 10:40 pm, I am wiped out! Oh yeah, I forgot the several dozen emails asking me to update the website. You know, I think all the personal emails I use to get now go to my spam folder! Or else, my family and friends think I have died! Well, I am still alive, but I need to lay my spinning head down for a few hours!

By the way, I know everyone wants to send tea bags to Washington and that is fine! I am all for your effort and the message you are trying to send. But if I get one more email about a damn tea bag being sent to Washington, my reply my not be so nice! I still have a huge bright fire engine red tub, adorned with a big plastic patriotic bow, full of hundreds of tea bags sitting in my kitchen. All of them...hundreds of them...need to be sent to Washington. I don't want to hear about anyone's one single tea bag! I have tea parties to plan people!

Well, before I turn in for the night, there is one more thing I would like for someone to help me with if possible. If someone would please send me a tiara to wear while I am planning tea parties, it sure would be nice to have the tiara to go with the title. Besides, it would look good with my pink flip flops! If you never knew it, us southern belles love our flip flops! I will wear the tiara to the Atlanta Tea Party!

That is it for now friends! Tea Party Queen is shutting off the lights for the night. Tomorrow the party starts anew!

I am not kidding! Don't you dare send me another email about mailing a tea bag to Washington DC. Don't make me slap you with my flip flop!

Anyone? Want to have a tea party?

Nite y'all!
