Microsoft Small Business Addresses the Slumping Economy
Gas prices have gone through the roof and are in danger of hitting passing birds. The rise in prices not only affects how high your blood pressure gets when at the gas pump, but it’s making the cost of living and doing business go up and up. Gas prices aren’t solely to blame for the down economy, but they definitely have a huge impact. That’s why Microsoft is giving away 5,000 gallons of gas to one lucky small business. Microsoft is also offering 5 money saving tips that any small business can use in this slumping economy. The chance to win and the tips are available at http://www.bumptheslump.com/.
Although the current downturn isn’t enjoyable, it definitely isn’t all bad news—especially not for small businesses that are uniquely positioned to prosper in these tough times. Because they are more nimble and in-touch with every aspect of their operation, small businesses can cut costs faster and make efficiency changes in a way that much larger business cannot.
With this in mind, Microsoft Small Business wants to help small businesses make the changes necessary to adjust to the current economy and not only survive but thrive. At bumptheslump.com
Buckeye Bars
July 1, 2008 | Filed Under Party, Entertainment | No Comments
My mom sent me a postcard from Ohio when she was driving through there and it has a recipe for buckeye bars on it. Buckeye bars are pretty awesome if you love the chocolate and peanut butter combination. I figured I would share the recipe because it is something really easy to make, and would be great for any picnics you are planning on attending this weekend!
Buckeye Bars:
Soften in the microwave and mix together 1 cup of peanut butter and 1 cup of butter. Stir in 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs and 2 1/2 cups of powdered sugar. Mix well. Pat mixture into bottom of a 9″x13″ pan. On low heat, melt 10 ounces of milk chocolate chips. Stir in 6 tablespoons of cooking oil. Pour over crust and refrigerate for several hours. Cut into bars.
This entire thing took me about a half hour to complete, and they are really good!

Mike’s Hard Cocktails
June 17, 2008 | Filed Under Blabber, Party, Entertainment | 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.
Wimbledon Tickets
June 11, 2008 | Filed Under Sports, Entertainment | No Comments
I love tennis, and I love it even more when I actually get to see it live. I go to matches here quite often, but what I would really love is to attend the Wimbledon tennis tournament. It would be such a great day if I could get Wimbledon tickets for my husband and I to go see the event. We could make a whole entire trip out of it. I love when tennis stars come together to compete in Wimbledon because it makes for intense tennis action! The schedule for the Wimbledon Qualifying Tournament at Roehampton will be released on June 18th which is only a few days away and the Wimbledon events are from June 23rd to July 6th. I am excited about Wimbledon 2008, and I hope that I can get some tickets so that I can participate in the championship fun and festivities. Tennis is such a fun sport, if you have not ever sat and watched a match you are really missing out, tennis matches can get really intense and they are even more intense when you can watch them live.
I cannot stop thinking about getting tickets to Wimbledon because I can only imagine how much fun it would really be. I hope my significant other reads this post and grabs us tickets to Wimbledon!
Safely Boating in Arizona
May 30, 2008 | Filed Under Sports, Amazing, Video, Entertainment | No Comments
Boating accidents are very serious business, in Arizona half of all the boat accident deaths in 2007 were alcohol related, and 1/3 of all of the deadly boating accidents nationwide are related to alcohol related as well. People often are unaware that Boating Operating Under the Influence is just as dangerous and just as illegal as driving a car under the influence. In the state of Arizona currently you do not have to have any kind of educational class to drive a boat, but you should always take a course before operating this type of machinery because people who are educated before boating are 70% less likely to be in a boating accident, that is a statistic that cannot be ignored. You can receive Boating Education Online which is much more convenient than your typical class, making there even less of an excuse as to why you would not take a boating course! Make Arizona Boating safer by taking an online boating course, to keep yourself and others safe while having fun!
Check out these videos:
Please remember to Boat Safe, Boat Smart, Boat Sober and take a Boating Education class in person or online.

BLEACH the Movie
May 29, 2008 | Filed Under Amazing, Entertainment | No Comments
If I had a magna name it would be AKEMI HOSHIKO which means “bright and beautiful star child”. I got to thinking about what name I would use because I just got word that Bleach the Movie is showing in theaters June 11th and 12th. I picked that name because it sounds soft and pretty, but at the same time very powerful. I am pretty excited to see BLEACH the movie when it is in select theaters. You can find out if it is playing in a theater near you by visiting http://fathomevents.com/details.aspx?eventid=720, it will be a grand event!
Resident Evil
May 27, 2008 | Filed Under Amazing, Television, Entertainment | No Comments
I just got done watching all of the Resident Evil movies on Blu Ray, it was really awesome. We got surround sound added in with the new television, so it is just a great experience when we watch high definition movies. I cannot wait to see some more of the new movies. CGI animation looks great on Blu Ray so I am going to rent Ice Age, I bet that will be super awesome as well.
