blog stuff

Are any of you familiar with iJustine?  My dad of all people introduced me to her.  Apparently she is one of lots doing lifecasting.  She’s a twitter-er and blogger  (among other things) and I think she’s kinda cool and if I were single, I’d probably be hopping on the lifecasting thing.

Not that I do anything cool as her like hook up my mac from an airport or chat with random people at coffee shops or even leave cute notes on my computer screen saying “I’m in the shower, BRB” but hey, it’d be like having my own reality show. 

Except mine would basically be me without a shower before lunch staring at a computer screen for 7 hours a day and randomly shouting things like “Girls!  Share!”

Thanks to Jaynee for finding this site.  New way to generate traffic to your site for free. 

Sort of works like the links at the bottom of BlogHer ads.  I’ve found several new sites using those so I think this should work out well.

As part of Works for Me Wednesday, I’ll be listing all my favorite brands, cause I’m a marketer’s favorite client, I like a lot of brand name things…her main list already took several of mine, but I’m going to list them anyway because I’m particular about these…

Charmin MEGA roll – I used to be a Cottonelle fan just because that’s what Mom always had but what’s with all the fuzzy stuff?  Heather finally convinced me to try it and I haven’t turned back.

Bounty towels – With so many spills around here, I HAVE to have thick towels that can be used like a rag, not a tissue.  And please no prints.

Bed Head hair products – Doesn’t matter which one, I always like Bed Head brand better.

Pop-Tarts  – The fake ones I do not like.

Krispy Kreme doughnuts – Are there any other kind?

Heinz ketchup – it’s the only one sweet enough for my taste.

Pampered Chef  – only use their baking stones, the others don’t seem to “do right”

Maybelline Great Lash Waterproof Mascara

I have several clothing and shoes brands I like but obviously don’t adhere exclusively to including Ann Taylor Loft, Nine West, Express, Victoria’s Secret and Old Navy.

That should do it.

For some reason I’m just being introduced to Twitter…I’m not sure why anyone would want to know what I’m doing 24-7 but if you do, my badge is to the right and you can also find me on twitter and subscribe to the feed there.

I think I finally found a new one I like and it may not be a safe thing to do the night before I leave out of town but I’ll be converting tonight.

 *Update: wow, that wasn’t that bad.  An hour later I’m back with all my sidebars and everything.  Going on a hunt now to replace the pictures in the header.  Liked the idea, maybe just not those particular photos.   Wish me luck.

*Second update: k, uh, that’s not happenin.  Those images at the top are actually 3 images where the tree in the foreground is one image and then the green trees in the background are actually repeating images…one color and one in black and white.  Not as easy as swapping out pictures apparently.

Look!  I got my first award ever!  Allison over at Caffeinted Ramblings  presented me with it just today.  As she mentions, her and I have been fangirl friends for years online.  Thanks so much, Allison!

So I think the way this goes is I’m supposed to give this to 3 other women.

First has to go to Jaynee at Cootiehog.  She’s also a long time online friend but I’ve also had the pleasure of knowing her in person as well.  She’s a great writer and just a great person!

The next is actually Jaynee’s sister Jen over at Lintefiniel Musing. She’s a sweet, honest person I always enjoying catching up with.

The last I’d like to give to Jeana of Days to Come.  I’ve just recently found her and I find her writing quite entertaining and funny and seem to relate a lot to her. 

So, ladies, pass this on to 3 others!
