Celebration Introduction and RULES

I haven't read the book yet, but most definitely plan on it because of how the movie brought to life a most important story. The events depicted within the film touched my heart and the superb acting hit home the injustices that were occurring even a mere half-century ago in The United States of America--a nation claiming to offer liberty to its citizens. There are some parts in The Help that are hard to watch, unpleasant--even offensive--to the ear, but give a true snapshot of the times. I recommend the movie to men and women, ages 15+

I went to see this movie for a Girls Night Out with my sister-in-law Darcy, who writes My Artistic Ventures and we had a marvelous day. We did a mini-card class, she hung out with all the children while I went to a church dinner party, then she and I hit the theater for the late show!  We laughed and cried.

Also while watching the movie, we could hear booming thunder from outside and it was pouring rain like crazy when we got out. She and I chatted all the way to my house, and then we carried sleepyheads covered in blankies to her car. It was a special time to spend. In order to make sure I don't ever forget it, I share the story here-- with you.

The fabulous gift for today is a gift certificate offered by Darcy for a delicious 3-layer cake:

and tell us something about yourself proving that you are kind, smart and important.  

It can be one example for each quality or an example showing all three qualities in one short paragraph. 

For example, I would write: 

Kind- I help my neighbors whenever I have spare time.

Smart- I know how to drive a car and have never got a ticket. 

Important- I am a mother. I am a friend. People might miss me when I die.

I know it isn't the normal sort of trivia, but if we can't even answer three short questions about our own selves, what good is it to know all the other so-called real trivia? 

Plus, such a fabulous gift should take a bit of work (I think). 

Be kind to yourself, write as smart as you can, and remember this is important -- even if it is just to win a delectable dessert by Darcy!

*Anyone using self-deprecating language to somehow validate their answer will be disqualified*

And why are there not any boys joining the party? Are parties a girly thing? I really thought I designed a party-for-everyone party. Oh well! Too bad for them if they don't want to participate!
