Who wants to win a 2010 Camaro?

Tweet So I’m guessing no one who read my blog post won a laptop when Charter was giving away one a day this summer.  That’s OK, because their new sweepstakes is EVEN BETTER!  Now through November 26th, Charter Communications will be giving away a brand new 2010 Camaro 2SS!  You know, the most talked about,…

A Bad Case of the Cankles

Tweet Last week, as fall weather started to kick in, I put away the flip-flops and broke out the closed-toed shoes.  I wondered why they all were a little tight, but thought, I had gained weight since last year, so maybe it went to my feet? A few days later, it got worse.  I could…

Parkour!

Tweet Here is a clip from the Season Premiere of The Office for your viewing pleasure:

Lose the Ugly! Find your Bliss.

Tweet Do you have some ugly pictures? You know, the type that should never be shown again to anyone? Or maybe a picture of an old cell phone, or you rocking an old fad? Well LG wants you clear your ugly pics to Find Your Bliss….LG Bliss phone that is. Facebook users (18 and older)…

Knoyce…It Really is Better Than Just Nice.

Tweet I recently came across a new social networking site called Knoyce. The word Knoyce is based on the word nice, but it implies that something is “better than just nice”. And that it is.  Knoyce is a combination of all the great things on all sorts of social media sites. On Knoyce you can: Create a customized…

An Open Letter to Kanye West

Tweet Dear Kanye, I forgave you when you had a hissy fit at the Grammy’s in 2004 claiming you were robbed of the Best New Artist award. Everyone has a bad day.  I forgave you in 2005 when you said “George Bush doesn’t like black people” during the Katrina Benefit.  Partially because I really disliked…

Cash4Gold: A Deal or a Dupe?

Tweet You’ve all seen the commercials.  They will send you an envelope for you to send back your gold jewelry and you will get a check back for them!  Sounds too good to be true. And according to reports, it is! First of all, why would anyone send expensive jewelry via UPS with insurance of…

MetLife Dental: Yet Another Fail

Tweet I know this is Wordless Wednesday and all, but I needed to get this off my chest.  I have had MetLife Dental for over a year now.  I pay approximately $20/month through COBRA for coverage.  Since I signed up last June, I have only used a dental service three times. The first time I…

For All the Auto-DM Haters…

Tweet After I reached a certain number of followers on Twitter, I started to use SocialOomph‘s Auto-DM tool.  I now send this direct message to all new followers: “Hi! Thanks for following. Are you as twaddicted as me? You can read my story at <blog link>. What’s your story?#stinkytweet“ There are many reasons to send…

Lemon Tree: Epic Fail

Tweet I had decided last week that I wanted to do something different with my hair. I hadn’t colored it in about 2 years and I needed a cut. Being the frugal one I have become lately, I went to Lemon Tree instead of going to a salon that would charge more than I could…

Partying at Rehab…Reality TV Just got Hotter!

Tweet Since I rarely travel (although perhaps I will be visiting my folks soon in California), I have to live vicariously through reality TV shows.  One show that looks like it’s fun is REHAB.  No, it’s not about a rehab facility, it’s about Rehab, the party spot at the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas. Rehab…

I Have Become Yet Another Statistic: a BK for BK

Tweet I was debating on whether to speak about this on my blog, but since everything else in my life is talked about on here, I might as well not hold anything back.  I am filing for bankruptcy. The paperwork is in motion and I hope to have everything filed in a few weeks.  Why…
