Ok, the one difficult thing about online casinos is choosing one. Everyone has their own preferences. Sometimes it is hard to find a casino that allows US players, or one that its players love. Luckily, I found another great site. It’s called Pro360. Pro360 ranks the best online casinos. They are voted on by players, editors, and given full reviews! Pro360 ranks the best blackjack, slots, video poker, roulette, craps, Caribbean stud, baccarat, keno, bingo, backgammon, sports betting and poker casinos. For example, I enjoy playing blackjack and at Pro360, I found that the three top rated casinos are Rushmore Casino, Sun Palace Casino, and Casino Bellini. I also found that the first two allow US players but that Casino Bellini does not. The site also has extra casino info such as FAQ’s, a Beginner’s Guide, and Gambling tips. The lists are also organized in different ways such as casinos with the best bonuses and the best voted online casinos. Pro360 has been reviewing casinos since 1997 and their hard work shows. They have tons of casino sites with banners that when you click to sign up, will give you your bonus before you start! Pro360 makes choosing your perfect online casino easy!

My patio!

2008-02-27T18:48:00.000-05:00

Now that the weather is starting to warm up again, I have been beginning to think about setting up my patio. We have some older furniture that we stored away for the winter. I love spending long nights out on the patio, grilling and spending time with friends. I guess the old furniture looks a little shabby so we are probably going to try to do some stuff to dress it up. My favorite way to do this is with Outdoor Furniture Cushions. I found a cool site, called Cushions.com where I can get great prices on new cushions for my shabby old outdoor furniture! They have both outdoor and indoor cushions, for now I’m going to get some outdoor ones. Why you may ask? Its an easy, cheap way to update my patio stuff! You can even make custom cushion shapes! How cool is that? The other thing I will probably get from this site is a patio umbrella. I like to be in the sun sometimes but I know the risks of too much sun so a patio umbrella will work out great! I think our friends and family will love our new furniture, I’m so excited to have a patio I love again. Bring on the barbeques and outdoor parties! I’m ready!

Make your Business Better With Web 2.0

2008-02-06T11:53:00.000-05:00

Much has been written about the power of Web 2.0 as a marketing tool and for good reason. Its power to help you market products to potential customers is undeniable. However, besides marketing your products, Web 2.0 can help your business in other ways.

Web 2.0 technologies are increasingly being used within organizations to improve productivity and efficiency and to improve communication between organizations. Take web video for example. Videos can be used for employee training, customer follow-up, as well as frequently asked questions. The purpose is to provide more types of media to fit more customers. Some people learn better by reading. Others by hearing or seeing.

The flexibility and usability of Web 2.0 applications ensures that IT departments can give other workers more power to customize applications to better suit themselves. This not only improves efficiency but also boosts morale and productivity.

Good communication is an essential part of any successful organization. The ability for employees to communicate in real time through instant messaging adds to efficiency. And, with freely available client applications such as Skype coupled with existing bandwidth, the costs are negligible.

Customer support is a must for any business that wants to retain its customers and has become an area where Web 2.0 has been used extensively. Customer support teams can communicate in real time with customers online providing another layer of support and reinforcing a strong customer service environment.

Many companies use blogs as a form of customer support. By posting content for common problems, a company can solve most common issues upfront -- cutting customer support costs. And because of the collaborative nature of blogs customers will often add their own problem resolutions.

Blogs are also a great way for a company to gauge customer satisfaction. But, you must be open to criticism. Deleting critical comments is not the way to establish credibility. By giving up a certain amount of control, a business is more likely to respond to customers quickly. What better way to get a solid testimonial than from a customer who had a complaint that was resolved as a result of a blog post.

Finally, Web 2.0 offers excellent opportunities in training and education. A quick browse on YouTube will show that online video training is growing fast in popularity. Several large organizations already use video extensively to provide product training.

From the smallest start up to the biggest multi national, Web 2.0 is revolutionizing the way people work, both within and outside the organizational structure.

Crazy over Wii: The Top 5 Games

2008-02-02T11:10:00.000-05:00

If you think you have enough of Wii, think again. Perhaps you haven't played all of the top 5 games of this newest product of Nintendo. For Wii aficionados and for those who are simply looking for new exciting games to play in, here are some of the best Wii picks for you:

Talk about the Legend of Zelda

Think of Lord of the Rings and Dungeons and Dragons combined. This is how the new and possibly the biggest videogame console to date is like. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess talks about the never-ending adventures of Link and Princess Zelda against Ganondorf. The Wii consol game will allow you to discover the brand-new ability of Link, which is to transform himself into a wolf. The Wii console is so much perfect for the game, considering that you need maximum flexibility as well as preciseness when it comes to using the bows, arrows, and swords. To make the game even more exciting, Wii provides a 16:19 display option for its wide screen a totally new level of playing experience.

Goin' Bananas

The Banana Blitz is the newest installment of Super Monkey Ball and is specifically created for Wii consoles. This is the most ideal game for those who are trying to test the waters of Wii consoles. Banana Blitz features 50 mini-games and 100 brand-new mazes, which are very much easy to play around. Moreover, working on your Banana Blitz is actually no-brainer. With a simple forward-and-backward motion, you can already see those monkeys rolling around the various puzzle games. So if you like to go loco over those scheming primates, then settle for Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz.

Get Yourself in the Trauma Center

Christmas doesn't have to be everything nice, but then again, you can still have so much fun, especially when you're in Trauma Center. You're basically back to the world of Dr. Stiles and his great mission of saving one person at a time. However, unlike its predecessor, which has been made for Nintendo DS, Trauma Center: Second Opinion makes it more convenient for you to change your tools on the dot, using your nunchuk in selecting the items. You can also discover more healing powers and techniques of Dr. Stiles that you wish the anime world doesn't have to be left fabricated.

Monster Trucks on the Loose

If you're in for non-stop hard-core action, then fasten your seatbelts and get ready for one hell of a ride aboard monster trucks. Excite Truck of Monster Games takes you to different twists and turns of a very enthralling racing series that you won't probably have time to catch your breath. Despite the complexity, however, techniques are never difficult. In fact, there's practically no need to use your nunchuk.

Beat the Rabbids

Not all rabbits are nice and furry. Take, for example, the Rabbids. Rayman takes you on different kinds of adventure, which tries to mix great storyline with fantastic minigames. Rayman Raving Rabbids tell the tale of Rayman and his quest to fight the monstrous Rabbids, who are out to dominate the world. But it's never going to be easy as he needs to win more than 70 mini-games. Having sleepovers? Definitely, this Wii game will keep all of your friends awake the whole night long.

New must see movies!

2008-01-18T13:17:00.000-05:00

My list of must-sees:

1) Juno: "Juno is a whip-smart teen confronting an unplanned pregnancy by her classmate Bleeker. With the help of her hot best friend Leah, Juno finds her unborn child a "perfect" set of parents: an affluent suburban couple, Mark and Vanessa, longing to adopt. Luckily, Juno has the total support of her parents as she faces some tough decisions, flirts with adulthood and ultimately figures out where she belongs." - Yahoo!

2) 27 Dresses: "Jane is idealistic, romantic and completely selfless--a perennial bridesmaid whose own happy ending is nowhere in sight. But when younger sister Tess captures the heart of Jane's boss--with whom she is secretly in love--Jane begins to reexamine her "always-a-bridesmaid..." lifestyle. " - Yahoo!

3) Mad Money: "A comedy about three ordinary women who form an unlikely friendship and decide to do something extraordinary--rob one of the most secure banks in the world. Bridget Cardigan is shocked to learn that she is on the verge of losing her home and comfortable upper middle class lifestyle when her husband Don is downsized from his job. Armed only with a decades old English degree and years as a dedicated mother and corporate wife, Bridget is forced into the unfamiliar labor market with no job skills. Finally, she accepts the only position she can find--janitor at the Federal Reserve Bank. The one-time suburban mom soon discovers she has more in common with her new co-workers than she thought. Bridget forges an unexpected bond with Nina, a hard-working single mom with two kids to raise, and Jackie, an exuberant free spirit with nothing to lose. Caught up in a system that underestimates their talents and keeps their dreams just out of reach, Bridget, Nina and Jackie set out to even the score. After a lifetime of playing by the rules, the three devise a plan to smuggle soon-to-be destroyed currency out of the supposedly airtight Reserve. As the unlikely crime syndicate amasses piles of cash, it looks like they have pulled off the perfect crime--until a minor misstep alerts the authorities. With more money than they know what to do with, the women are pushed to the limits of their ingenuity to stay one step ahead of the law! " - Yahoo!

Choosing the Right Lingerie for your Body Style

2008-01-10T22:59:00.000-05:00

The first thing to consider when choosing a piece of lingerie is to be aware of your body, and what is has to offer. Your goal here is to emphasize your best assets, while playing down the parts of your body you don’t like as much. Take the time to think about how you feel about your body, and be honest, but not too demanding on yourself.

Tall Women

· Garter belts will accentuate the length of the legs
· An horizontal line across the belly, may it be a garter belt or a corset, is great for tall skinny women. It tends to draw the attention to their curves.
· Tall women can afford to wear long nightgowns, which don’t look as great on short women.
· Thigh high stockings with lace up, bows and other refined details can help draw attention to the long legs.

Short Women

· Slits on the sides of your gown or baby doll gives a sense of length to the legs.

Big-Busted and Voluptous Women

· A corset is a great pick, as it enhances both the cleavage, and the waist line, while flattening the stomach. Consider buying a corset that is one size smaller than you usual size. Lace up front or back are also great for the cleavage and to tighten up that waist of yours!
· Baby dolls with underwire cups will also accentuate the cleavage, while hiding the stomach and butt area
· Empire waist baby dolls are also great for hiding the tummy, while enhancing the legs.
· Teddies can be a good way to go, as it hides the belly area, while emphasizing the bust and legs.
· Spandex or Lycra bras might help by flattening the breast area, and providing support.

Small-Breasted

· Padded or push-up bras will help creating a bit more cleavage.
· Babydolls are also a good choice.

Athletic or Slim

· Try to accentuate your tummy, waist, legs and butt area. Try booty shorts, thongs, garter belts or matching sets.
· Try not to draw attention to your developed chest area, unless you are wearing a padded bar.
· Teddies are also ideal as they emphasize on the shoulders and legs.

Tips:

· Your lingerie should not be tight-fitted against the areas of your body you would prefer to hide.
· Concentrate on finding lingerie that will enhance and draw attention to your best assets.
· Vertical lines create an illusion of length, while horizontal lines widen the body.
· If you are not so comfortable with your body, you can add on a sensual silk or satin robe. You will not only make you feel better about yourself, but will also more at ease with your lingerie
· If you are wearing tight fitted pants, or skirts, opt for a g-string or a thong. This will eliminate the panty lines that may sow through your clothes.
· Don’t forget about accessories. High heels, jewelry, boas, feathers, gloves and stockings can be used to accentuate certain parts of your body, or to draw the attention away from others. Other accessories such as candles, whips, blindfolds, handcuffs, whipped cream, strawberries, honey are lots of fun too. Just let your imagination run freely, and you will be impressed about all there is out there to explore!

Beware of the Terrible Sleep Snatchers

2008-01-06T15:13:00.000-05:00

Getting enough sleep is important for everybody, regardless of age, race and gender. People all over the world can benefit from obtaining the right amount of shuteye; especially in the development and regeneration of cells and the prevention of certain diseases and conditions, such as Type II diabetes. The many benefits of proper slumber also include prevention of certain types of cancer, reduction of stress, and restoration of skin tissues.

Despite the many advantages of sleeping better, millions of people, especially adults, are not having enough zzz's. In fact, statistics show that about 100 million individuals in the US have experienced sleep problems and insomnia.

One of the reasons why there are a lot of persons who are experiencing sleeping difficulties is that many are not aware that some of the things they do during the day or before going to sleep are contributing to their nocturnal tossing and turning.

For a better sleep, beware of the following sleep snatchers:

Alcohol

You may think that drowning yourself with alcohol will help you forget your problems and assist in giving you a good night's sleep. At first, alcohol could really make you a little sleepy. However, when you drink a lot everyday, your sleeping patterns will be disrupted. In the long run, too much alcohol, especially those that are taken a few hours before bedtime, can actually make you lose sleep hours.

Caffeine

A lot of people are aware that drinking coffee or other beverages with caffeine can keep them awake. Yet, many still indulge in such drinks before they go to sleep. As a result, a lot end up depriving their bodies of the right amount of snooze time. If you really need to drink coffee, do it in the morning and not at night. Moreover, it would be beneficial if you limit your caffeine fix to 2 or 3 cups or glasses a day.

Smoking

Actually, smoking does not only wreak havoc to your sleeping patterns, but also poses danger to your health. Nicotine is known to cause various respiratory diseases, cancer, and even birth defects. Since the abovementioned substance is a stimulant, people who smoke a lot, especially hours before going to bed, end up having problems snoozing or staying asleep.

Heavy Meal Before Bedtime

Midnight snacks can actually help you go to sleep if you carefully chose the food you eat. However, people who end up eating very heavy meals may experience slumber difficulties because of indigestion. Drinking a lot of water and other fluids at night can also disrupt your doze time because you will end up urinating during the night. Make sure that you eat your dinner two or more hours before your slumber time so that you don't need to worry about digestion woes at night.

Stress And Anxiety

Have you noticed that when you have a problem or are excited about something you end up not having a good night's sleep? The reason behind this is that your mind is restless because you are preoccupied about something. In order to minimize sleep distractions caused by anxiety and stress, it would be helpful to write your to-do list before you go to bed. Scribbling down the things that you ought to do the next day and possible answers to your problems can assist in keeping your mind at ease.

Another way you can prevent being anxious and stressed when you enter your bedroom is to do all your work, television viewing, money budgeting and other things that can stimulate your mind outside your room. Furthermore, you can also seek some natural sleep aids to promote a restful slumber. Sedamine is one supplement that can help you sleep well at night.

2008=Great!

2008-01-02T11:45:00.000-05:00

Thank god it’s 2008. I’m glad to not have the stresses I did at the end of last year, like school and especially moving. It was really hard to move all the stuff from my parent’s house, and from my boyfriend’s parent’s house…I definitely don’t want to have to do that again for a while. But I found a great site for the next time I have to…it’s called HomeBulletin.net. Not only does it give great free moving tips, but it also lists so many Moving Companies! For more information check out HomeBulletin.net!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

New Year's resolutions.

2007-12-31T11:34:00.000-05:00

Everyone makes them - New Year's resolutions. Some are easy and some are more difficult - such as losing weight. If you've been trying to lose weight for a while and are tired of yoyo dieting, then the LAP-BAND® System from JourneyLite may be the right solution for you!
The LAP-BAND® System works by reducing the capacity of your stomach and therefore reducing the amount of food that you can consume at one time.
For more information, find a lap band physician in your area.

Extra heat for the cold days

2007-12-21T12:15:00.000-05:00

Brrr! It sure is chilly out this winter. That’s the reason why I’m not a big winter fan – I hate the cold. I’m actually looking into purchasing a room heater like these gas wall heaters from DESA. I think it would be great for in my bedroom at night – because it sure gets cold in there! My friend has recently purchased one for her living room and loves it! She’s even buying one for her sister as a Christmas present, which I think is a great idea. I really like that the gas wall heaters from DESA are vent-free and can heat large areas. I especially like this one, which heats up to 700 square feet! Or maybe this one – its only $106! I don’t know which one I’ll end up choosing, but I think they’re a really great idea for keeping warm, and I know my family will agree!

DealBarbiePaysFast PAYS! Sponsored Reviews PAYS!

2007-12-19T12:55:00.000-05:00

I just got paid from two great sites. The first is Deal Barbie Pays Fast! Which pays out through Paypal ($5 minimum) on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays of every week! Although they don't have as many offers as other sites, I like that you can get paid so often.
The second site I got paid by was Sponsored Reviews! I like Sponsored Reviews in that you can choose to bid on whichever posts you want to do for however much (usually in a range) that you want to be paid. I only got $3.25 for this one, but it was my first one, so oh well. Oh and they pay within two weeks!

Johnny Depp Has a New Movie!

2007-12-18T19:01:00.000-05:00

I don’t know about you, but I absolutely love Johnny Depp! I have enjoyed all of his movies, but my two favorites are definitely the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie, the Curse of the Black Pearl, and Finding Neverland.
In The Curse of the Black Pearl, Depp plays Jack Sparrow, plays the “Pirate Lord of the Caribbran Sea”, trying to get his ship, The Black Pearl, back from his enemy, Hector Barbossa. My favorite scene in this movie is when Jack Sparrow and Elizabeth Swann are stranded on an island after being captured. Sparrow proceeds to drink the rum left behind by rum-runners, until, to his dismay, Elizabeth uses the rum to start a fire to help save them.
Finding Neverland is a wonderful movie about the life of the author of Peter Pan, James Matthew Barrie, played by Johnny Depp. In this movie, Depp’s character, Barrie, becomes close to a widowed woman, Sylvia, and her four sons. Through them, he comes up with the story of Peter Pan. My favorite scene is when he creates the “ship” for the children in the backyard.
Overall, Johnny Depp is a great actor in both movies, but I do think that I like his character Jack Sparrow a little bit better. Depp’s talent makes Pirates of the Caribbean a magnificent movie for anyone especially with the comedic twist he adds.
Johnny Depp has a new movie coming out on December 21st called Sweeny Todd. Visit the official Sweeney Todd movie site! It’s based on the musical Sweeny Todd and tells the story of Benjamin Barker who starts a barber shop, while trying to get rid of anyone who has done him wrong. I can’t wait to see it! In the meantime, visit Sweeny Todd on Myspace!

Get Paid To Blog!

2007-12-18T15:55:00.000-05:00

I’ve been really busy lately, with the holidays coming up so quickly and all. I absolutely love the holidays, but sometimes, with all the presents and food and parties, they can cost a bit of money. Around this time of year, I'm always looking to make money. So, I’ve got some great news – I signed up for PayPerPost! PayPerPost is a great opportunity for those with blogs to earn some extra money!
After qualifying (there are a few minor qualifications), I now have the opportunity to earn some extra income from my blog by writing sponsored posts! There are so many opportunities; there is definitely something for everyone! Plus, the posts are informative and interesting to provide more great content for your readers.
PayPerPost is such an easy and even fun way to make money, I highly recommend it! Although there are other paying blogging companies, PayPerPost not only has a great rep, but the website is very user-friendly. Another great thing about PayPerPost is the option to donate your earnings to charity, which is great for those who do not currently have the extra cash to do that.
Overall, there are many good money-making opportunities on the internet, but I think PayPerPost is one of the best and easiest ways to earn extra money!

Random survey

2007-12-16T10:21:00.000-05:00

At my mom's, my neighbors do have wireless that we can connect to, and I'm sure they could connect to ours, but there's no point.

New Survey!

2007-12-15T13:10:00.000-05:00

FYI, I picked America's Next Top Model because they give you a makeover & that'd be fun! Extreme Makeover is way too much though - I don't like needles! =)

Enchanted!

2007-12-14T10:08:00.000-05:00

I saw Enchanted last weekend! It was very cute and quite funny. My boyfriend even liked it! We ended up seeing it because we wanted to go to the movies and the closest theater to us only shows 2 movies at a time, so it was that or the very controversial The Golden Compass. This weekend I Am Legend comes out and I definitely want to see that! But we probably won't see it this weekend because it's opening weekend so the IMAX version (which we'd want to see) will probably be sold out.

Anyways, a couple of days ago, I signed up for Entrecard! It's a great, free way to get traffic to your blog!

Online Backgammon!

2007-12-06T09:59:00.000-05:00

When I was little, my sister and I used to love to play backgammon. Because of that, I was really excited to find online backgammon at gammon-world.com! Gammon-world.com has a really well-designed and is organized to make it easy for the player to navigate. The best part is that it's free to download the software and to start playing backgammon for money! The tournaments go from $5 to $50,000! I know I've definitely rediscovered my favorite game and I think online backgammon is the way to go!

I hate snow

2007-12-05T12:39:00.000-05:00

So basically, it's only 12:40 in the afternoon and already I've had a really awful day. First, I have the worst time getting back to sleep after my boyfriend left this morning. So on 7ish hours of sleep, I decide to get up and start my homework. Well, last night, I turned ff my ringer and planned to leave it off for most of today, in hopes I get most of the tons and tons of homework I have done. So I go downstairs, plug in my computer, turn it on and wait. And then I continue to wait as it shows that I'm NOT connected to the internet. I unplugged it and plugged it back it - nothing. I tried plugging it in the Xbox...nothing. So our internet is basically out. Then I take a shower and decide to try the whole thing again and get the same results. So I'm thinking, guess it's time to go home and do laundry anyways. I go and warm up and brush off my car. While I'm waiting for my car to warm up, I check my phone. And of course, the day I turn it off, I have 4 missed calls and a voicemail (plus some random text messages but those aren't important). All the missed calls and the voicemail is from my boyfriend's mom expecting me to take his dog for the day. Great. No way that's gonna happen. So I get in my car and try to back out of the driveway, and nope too much snow in the way... Although my boyfriend did tell me yesterday that my little Ford Focus could probably get over the pile of snow at the bottom of the driveway fine, that definitely didn't happen. I went and shoveled a little and tried again - nope. And again and again. Then, my boyfriend's mom decides to show up WITH the dog and expect me to take her... uhh no! I tried to explain all the homework and the fact that I have to go home but I'm pretty sure she was pissed. So she asks me to take the dog back to her house! What the hell? Umm well first of all, my car was full of laundry and school stuff. Second of all, I've barely driven in the snow before, why would I want to do it with a crazy dog in my car? So instead I told her I was going the opposite way. Finally she leaves, and I FINALLY (after shoveling AGAIN) get out of my driveway and head home on the stupid icy and snowy roads (which sucked). And then, of course my silly little car couldn't manage to get in my parent's driveway either. Thank god my step-dad was home to help me and listen to me cry (hey, my morning really sucked and I was beyond stressed)! Now I guess I'm just nervous that my boyfriend will be mad that I couldn't watch his dog. It's so ridiculous though, because his parents talk about what a pain the dog is and that she can't be left alone because she tears things up, and then they ask when we're going to take her! My boyfriend already works and this semester ends soon for me, which means I'll be looking for a job...what the hell are we supposed to do with the dog?!
Ughh, I feel better getting that out.
I'm sure tomorrow will be better....

Doughnuts at home!

2007-12-04T19:47:00.000-05:00

Something cool that I forgot to mention yesterday... I get DailyCandy daily e-mails and yesterday they showed the Dough-Nu-Matic! I think it would make a great Christmas gift, and I'm thinking about getting it for my boyfriend (ok, and maybe me too!) to enjoy! All I've gotten him so far is a new wallet from Fossil.
Oh, and my step-dad thought of a really great present for my mom - a portable GPS! I definitely want to play with hers and consider getting one if I like it. But anyways I think it's a good creative gift since he usually gets her jewelry and sometimes she needs a little help with directions (as do I)!

Assassin's Creed

2007-12-04T18:36:00.000-05:00

My boyfriend is very obsessed with Assassin's Creed for Xbox 360. I have to say though it is a really great game. It's very similar to Prince of Persia (same makers). I was originally thinking about getting it for him for Christmas but since a friend of ours lent it to us, I don't know if I should bother. He'll probably be done with it before Christmas at this rate anyways! Yep, it's that good =P
Anyways I made some really good cookies from this recipe. They're great for Christmas and taste so good! I didn't shape them as candy canes though because it seemed easier to do it this way.

2007-12-03T15:22:00.000-05:00

Yesss! I'm so excited for the 1st Mark magalog of 2008! The chocolate orchid Self Sanctuary collection is coming out! I know I'll definitely be getting the body butter for my family & friends.

Another thing I'm very excited for in 2008 is the start of a new semester! I think I'd really like to take an economics class, I loved it in high school. The other classes I'm taking are mostly just pre-req's and other courses that are required for MCC's Radiology Technology program...if I still decide that's what I want to do next fall. Who knows?

Happy Monday.

Life Insurance

2007-12-03T11:21:00.000-05:00

Since I just recently moved out and am now on my own, I have a lot of responsibilities that I did not have before. Besides the cooking and cleaning, another important thing I need to consider is insurance, and even life insurance. After doing a lot of research, I've found that Advantage term life will help me save money on insurance. By getting a quote on Advantagetermlife.com, I've found an easy way to reduce my premiums, which makes my newly independent life much easier! Which means more time to worry about the cooking, cleaning, and laundry, and less time worrying about life insurance!

Video game tester

2007-12-01T20:42:00.000-05:00

I found this really cool site where you learn how to get a job as a video game tester! I definitely want to sign up, that would be so cool! I love to play video games and if I could make money doing it, then why not?! The site is Gaming Testing Ground. I think the coolest thing would be to play unreleased games...how jealous would my boyfriend be? =)

I love surveys!

2007-12-01T14:46:00.000-05:00

Here's another survey about the Holidays and shopping:

I personally cannot wait for Christmas! I love giving gifts!

Christmas gifts!

2007-12-01T12:18:00.000-05:00

I love Christmas shopping! The thrill of giving gifts is so much fun. I'm really bad at wrapping presents but oh well, I still have fun. If only I had the money to buy tons of stuff for my friends and family.

Paid Surveys

2007-11-30T16:25:00.000-05:00

I just found a really easy, cool way to make some extra cash (since Christmas is closer than you think!). It's so simple too...taking paid surveys! I can't wait to start! I found this site Quick Paid Surveys - and signed up! I've heard good things about it being really helpful. We'll see how it goes!

Survey on the war in Iraq

2007-11-30T10:45:00.000-05:00

I am completely against the war in Iraq. I think it was unnecessary and just sad. It seems as if people are dying for no reason.

2007-11-29T11:53:00.000-05:00

Christmas is coming so soon! I'm really excited - I absolutely love to shop for gifts and give them to people...except for guys - it's so hard to shop for them! And I've got at least three to get - my dad, step-dad, and boyfriend. Great.
Anyways, with everything my mom has done lately for me with helping me move and giving me things I needed, I told her not to get me a Christmas present, but of course she still insists. But then, she came up with a really good idea - to get me a kitten! Which is great, because she knows I would like one from a shelter, which means inexpensive for her and for me...well, I absolutely love animals. I originally wanted to take my cat from home, but the problem is, he's used to being an indoor/outdoor cat and with the really busy road we now live on... So that's not really the best idea.
Anyways, happy Thursday =P

New blogs?! =D

2007-11-27T11:59:00.000-05:00

I started two new separate blogs that I'm really excited about! The first one is called GPTLove and is all about GPT sites, with reviews & payment proofs! The second one is for my site - CashisLove!
Links:
GptLove
CashisLove

And I'll definitely be updating this blog more - as we have finished moved and plan to get internet access at our apartment ASAP! =D

P.S. Can you believe it's almost DECEMBER?!

2007-11-25T19:00:00.000-05:00

Wow, moving for the past week has left me so busy! Not a lot of time for homework or work on my website (Cash is Love!)...at least we're almost done, and hopefully getting internet there soon.
Another good Get Paid To site similar to mine is CashCrate! Check them out.

2007-11-13T09:46:00.000-05:00

If you follow these instructions exactly, you will not need to pay any money or use a credit card.

THIS IS LEGIT! AND FREE! It is possible to get money instead of an xbox360 its the same steps but you select money on the page instead of a xbox 360. Here we go:

Click this: http://www.xbox3604free.com/default.aspx?r=959256

Please keep the entire link... I need the referral number to stay on so I get credit. When I get a 360 I can put your link to get referrals up so tell your friends about this website that way it will be easier for other people to get there 360 fast.

Steps:
1. Sign up for free and choose whether you want the xbox 360/xbox 360 elite/ cash (any user name and password) keep in mind you need 8 referrals for a xbox 360 and you need 10 for a xbox 360 elite.

2. Do the Fastweb offer (you can do another one but this one doesn't need money or a credit card). The Ebay one is another one that could be easy and free, but you MUST place a bid on something (anything!).

3. Refer either eight or ten people depending on what you chose in step one.

**I'll change my link to the first person who completes an offer's link after I get enough referrals.!

Presidential Election 2008

2007-11-01T15:06:00.000-04:00

The first Presidential election that I will be eligible to vote in is coming up! It's definitely tougher than I thought to pick out a candidate. I took this survey on the election:

it's fall!=)

2007-10-18T13:58:00.000-04:00

I love fall, it looks so pretty and it's nice out.

Ew school.

2007-10-18T10:53:00.000-04:00

So I am about to start some 8 week online colleges classes, and I'm pretty sure it's going to suck. See, originally, I was actually attending school (living at home, it's a community college), but I just really didn't like it. I didn't feel like I was supposed to be there, it just wasn't what I wanted to do. So I dropped out. And now next Monday I start 3 8 week classes - English, Statistics, and Art History.
But I think I decided what I want to do in the Spring... I applied for the Radiologic Technology program at another college - I want to be an X-ray tech. =)
Basically I can't wait until the spring..but I'm definitely dreading next week.

Oh and another thing - there's this website (moola.com) where you start out with a penny and then bet that penny in a game against another to win their penny, if you win then you play against someone with 2 pennies and so on.. it's pretty fun - I'm only at 46 cents right now but it is possible to to up to ten million dollars. So anyways you need a referral so my link is here!

Halo 3

2007-10-16T19:13:00.000-04:00

Halo 3. I've been playing it a lot lately and I have to say - I really like it! It got good reviews on many places I checked out (such as IGN)...and we got a wireless adapter to play online...YAY!=)
I also really like co op of course, my best friend and I used to play Halo 2 a lot. She and her boyfriend ended up buying the Halo 3 Xbox 360...I must admit it does look pretty cool, I like the controllers. My other friend bought a new Xbox 360 after selling his old one, just for Halo 3. Basically I recommend it. =)

Coffee

2007-09-28T11:47:00.000-04:00

I love coffee and I really like to try new kinds - lately I love Folger's Chocolate Truffle - YUM! You can get a sample of it or another kind by clicking below:

Two Worlds

2007-09-27T14:09:00.000-04:00

I love video games...especially Xbox 360. Lately I've been playing Two Worlds. It's awesome! A little confusing at first, especially if you're like me and used to Oblivion (which is also GREAT!) but anyways I uploaded a picture from it. =)

Linux

2007-09-19T14:02:00.000-04:00

I graduated from high school in June. As a graduation gift from my father (mostly for college), I got a laptop. Yay right?... well not quite. As expected, it came with Windows Vista. What I didn't expect was that I'd end up hating Vista. Well, not hating, but I definitely don't think it's ready for the world yet. I won't even get into the problems I had....but anyways. So recently, I decided to give Linux a try. I'd heard mostly good things, and I like to figure things out. I ended up buying Ubuntu Linux Bible. So far, I really like it. The only unfortunate part is that it doesn't recognize my speakers so therefore I can't play any sounds or music, but I'm already researching solutions. Basically I really like the idea that everything is free. So if I decide I want or need a program, all I have to do is download it, which isn't hard after you get used to it.

2007-09-15T16:16:00.000-04:00

2008 will be the first year I can vote in a presidential election, so I've been making sure to pay close attention to what each candidate stands for and believes. I really liked this site with the Democratic Candidate Mashup, because it lets you pick candidates and an issue, and shows a video of the candidates saying exactly how they feel about this issue. For example, I chose Hilary Clinton and education. Now I believe she has some good ideas about education. One thing she asked I think is really important..."is education working?". I've been reading Alfie Kohn's What Does It Mean To Be Well Educated? and it has really changed my perspective of what "being smart" really means. Kohn believes that schools are ultimately just working for their own benefits, to look "good" on standardized tests. He says "If you're in a sailboat without a map or a destination, you can get up to a good speed, but only in the direction that the prevailing winds are blowing. And who ultimately benefits from that?." I agree in the sense that many schools will push students to get ready for these standardized tests and not for real life, and I think that that has to change.
