Social Spark: Connecting Bloggers and Advertisers
June 27, 2008 | Filed Under , , | No Comments
With so many social sites out there it can be hard to pick the one that is right for you, that is it WAS hard to pick the right one before the invention of SocialSpark.com! SocialSpark is an amazing social site that actually allows you to MAKE MONEY while also making friends with fellow bloggers! I joined Social Spark a couple of months ago, and it is really awesome connecting with bloggers and also with advertisers who would like to advertise on my blog. For advertisers it is an even sweeter deal because of the perks.
Here are a few of the perks so that you can see what I mean:
-100% Audit-able In-Post Disclosure
-100% Transparency
-100% Real Opinions
-100% Search Engine Friendly
There are a lot of avenues that advertisers can take to get their name out there, but there are not many ways that offer all of these perks. As a blogger I adore giving advertisers my real opinion about products, and driving traffic to their sites because I did so. An advertiser can even go on Social Spark to find the perfect blogger to talk about their site and/or product. It is great that you have the ability to look at blogger’s sites and you can develop a “street team” that is composed of your favorite bloggers to write for you.
There are so many great things about SocialSpark that you really have to check it out for yourself to see what I mean. Whether you are an advertiser or a blogger come over to SocialSpark.com today to meet up with bloggers and advertisers alike because we can all make great connections!
One Week
June 27, 2008 | Filed Under , | No Comments
One week from today it will be July 4th, and the parties will be going all night long! It is awesome when holidays like this actually fall over the weekend. Friday night is going to be a huge party night, so remember to be responsible and find a DD for your partying night!
With that being said here is a nice drink to have at one of your parties that is even kid friendly!
INGREDIENTS:
Ice cubes
Cranberry juice
Wild Berry flavor Gatorade Fierce
Diet 7-Up
Instructions:
1. Fill a clear glass with ice cubes. Pour the drink with the most sugar (check the nutrition label) into the glass. For our red, white, and blue recipe, start with the cranberry juice.
2. Very slowly add a beverage that contains less sugar — in this case, Wild Berry flavor Gatorade Fierce. Be careful to pour it onto an ice cube — not directly into the other drink — to keep them from mixing.
3. Use the same technique to add a layer of Diet 7-Up

Are you looking to have a great time but don’t know where to hang out? The Howl at the Moon piano bar is an awesome piano bar to hang out at that includes amazing shows and great drinks. There are multiple locations around the country because it has been a wildly popular success wherever it goes. There is a grand opening in Charlotte on Friday June 20th 2008 (that is this Friday!!) and it is sure to be a blast. You can check the website to find out the nearest Howl at the Moon to you. If you live in Texas Howl at the Moon has a great San Antonio piano bar. The closest Howl at the Moon location to me is in Cleveland Ohio which is about a 5 and a half hour drive from here, but it would be awesome! I am going to have to get a group of friends together and we can go down there get a couple rooms and party all weekend long! If you are looking for an excellent place to hang out, drink, and have a good time then Howl at the Moon is just the place. Make sure to check out the website to find the location nearest to you at www.HowlAtTheMoon.com.

Wordpress Templates

I love this blog being in Wordpress. I used PHP Nuke before, and it was not nearly as easy to use. I love the fact that there are so many different wordpress templates available for every theme that you can think of. Wordpress templates are easy to install and they can make your blog look fabulous. If you are looking for an easy to use and attractive blog check out the Wordpress templates at www.TopWPthemes.com because they have some very awesome themes that would look great on your blog. I have tried many programs and many different templates, but in my opinion Wordpress really is the way to go. Make sure you check out the theme site to get the very best Wordpress templates available.
Mike’s Hard Cocktails
June 17, 2008 | Filed Under , , | No Comments
I had some of those Mike’s hard cocktails last weekend, I had the crantini ones and they were AWESOME! It was like drinking a barely spiked cranberry juice. On top of that I cleared like a six pack of Smirnoff ice and a few shots of Hot Damn. This last weekend was totally fun and crazy. I recommend these crantini drinks though to anyone who enjoys cranberry juice at all. They are wonderful and easy to drink.
Citizens Watches
June 14, 2008 | Filed Under , | No Comments
Citizens has been an unstoppable watch making force for 84 years now, and they are still going strong. I was checking out Citizen watches on their site this morning because I am in the market for a new watch and I fell in love with the Eco Drive Riva which is endorsed by Paula Creamer who is an awesome female golfer whom I enjoy to watch golf. Any watch that can be worn in the game of golf is a great watch, because even though it is not a rugged sport per se there is a lot of wrist work involved, and the citizen watch that she wears is amazing. The Eco Drive Riva has 24 diamonds in it, a mother of pearl dial, and it never even needs a battery. This watch is very classy and it can be put under water up to 333 feet. You would never expect that from such a beautiful watch! You can find some of your favorite sports players and the Citizens watches that they wear at www.BlueDial.com.
Rainy Night
June 14, 2008 | Filed Under , | No Comments
I hate it when the weather hinders my plans. Tonight was supposed to be a night of drinking my TGIFriday’s orange creamcicle stuff that I bought while having a nice and warm fire in the back yard. The rain came in early, and washed up my plans. Tomorrow I might try to reschedule it, but I’m not sure.
I was looking at the price of kegerators because I would really like to have one for these get togethers that I have, I think I will get one before the summer is over and have a real nice bash to welcome my kegerator home.
I just wanted to blabber about drinking since I am sitting here stone sober tonight, and I hope everyone else is having fun!!

I hate spending too much energy on cleaning. Instead of vacuuming my house I have it covered in plastic that I can just brush off. My kids are covered in plastic, and so are my cats, I just can’t spare the energy to vacuum everything every single day!
That was until I found out about the new Dirt Devil vacuum called the AccuCharge Stick Vac which is the first cordless vacuum to be approved with Energy Star because it uses 70% less energy. I can finally unwrap everything in my house because I won’t need to use so much energy!
Dirt Devil vacuums have always been my favorite. These vacuums are always affordable and high quality as well, that is a combination that you do not see too often in any product.

It will be nice to not have to rely on a pet to clean up your food messes or using a fuzzy dog as a dirt collector!

I think it would be fun to get a bunch of girlfriends together to go out and dress up 80’s style to go to this concert. I was just really surprised when I found out that they were touring. I figured that Donnie W. had a lot on his plate with all of his movies and stuff. Their picture looks neat:
Hangin Tough!
