Been a While!

I haven't posted recently. I have been extremely busy since Thanksgiving. I had tons of work to do for my classes, home stuff to work on, plus my kids were sick. I think things will calm down here at least for a few days. I have a few things to do for my classes, but nothing too overwhelming. I have one week left of classes and then finals week. I'll be glad to have a little break, though I wish it were longer than a month. So much to get caught up and so much I want to get started or want to finish. I don't know how much I will be able to post in the next few weeks with the classes ending and then, of course, Christmas. But I will try to post at least once a week.

Happy Turkey Day

Contest on my Other Blog

Hey everybody! I am having a contest over on my frugal blog. There will be 3 winners and prizes include things such as an Olive Garden gift card, Target gift card and EC credits. You can check it out here: http://couponqueenofcorning.today.com/.

12 Days of Christmas Giveaways!!

Wow. I found this blog that is giving away some wonderful things. Thoughts from the Mrs were giving away a Hot Wheels track set and yesterday it was one of those dolls that go pee-pee in the potty. LOL. Other toys they are giving away are a Fisher Price basketball hoop, Helmet Heroes and My little Pony. Check out the blog:

As always, if you have a question or comment, let me know.

Yet Another Awesome Giveaway

It must be the season for contests, because there sure are a lot of them going on right now. Jenny Talks is having an awesome contest right now.

These are the things you can win: Money! (who can't use money? lol), EC credits, and ad spots on blogs. So click on the badge above and go visit Jenny's blog. If you have any questions or concerns, leave me a comment.

WOWSA! What a giveaway!

I somehow happened to stumble upon an awesome contest. Not only is the contest awesome, there is some great posts on there too. Upon reading further, I realized I had been on this blog in the last week. LOL. I look through so many blogs a week that it is really hard to keep them straight. lol. I looked, and sure enough, there was the blog in my Favorites in my To Be Read folder.

So, anyway,  table4five is holding a contest where you can win a $100 gift card to the Home Depot! Wow, that is quite the prize. To get one entry, all you have to do is comment and tell her what you would buy with the gift card. Easy Peasy!!!

Someday I  hope to do a contest too (hey, a girl can dream can't she?)

Here's the direct link to the post:

Bonne Chance!

Spending Too Much Time on the Computer!!!

Well I've come to realize that I've been spending too much time on this darn thing. Between trying to get more traffic for my two blogs, writing for Associated Content, and school stuff (I am after all a computer major) I am on this dumb  thing ALL THE TIME!! I'm not getting my housework done, nor the homework I should be working on.

So I need to do something to cut down on the time I'm on here - except for school related stuff, of course. So, from now on I will limit myself to an hour for blog related activities, half an hour for checking emails and another half hour for writing AC content. Does this sound like a good plan? Hopefully I can follow this plan. This, of course, will begin tomorrow because I've already went WAY over my allotted time for today! lol. 

Making Cookie Dough for Christmas

Christmas is such a busy time and we have so much to do. So, I'm thinking that I should make up cookie dough and put it in the freezer. Normally I would scoop the dough into balls and then freeze, but I think I would be tempted to go down and sneak them. I think instead that I will just freeze the dough in gallon-sized bags and then thaw them out before I need to make them. I have chocolate chips and I know I have at least 2 pounds of butter, so I think I shall start working on getting them done up this weekend. Then after I get some more butter I will do up some more batches - on the weekend - otherwise hubby will eat them all! lol

Just in Time for Christmas

I have a new blog look for the holiday season. Do you like it? I found two wonderful blogs that have TONS of free templates on them. The background is from The Cutest Blog on the Block and the heading I made. I am in the process of learning how to make backgrounds, but mine aren't very good yet. So, for the time being I will use backgrounds from the Cutest Blog and from One Cute Blog. One Cute Blog even has headings that match the backgrounds. All you have to do is use photshop or other photo imaging program to customize it to your blog. So go take a look at those blogs, and leave me questions or comments if you have them.

I Found a Great Blog

I recently found and started subscribing to a new blog, called One Hundred Days to Christmas! Every day the blog writer posts a new challenge that gets you ready for Christmas. Today's challenge was sweeping and mopping the floors. The writer is also holding a contest where you can win a $25 LL Bean gift certificate. That's cool, of course. Hopefully it will help her bring in more traffic and readers. If you'd like to read her blog and sign up for a chance to win, click on the link below.

As always, if you have any questions or comments, let me know.

Thank Goodness It's Vacation Time

I have a break week from school next week and I so need it!!! I'm exhausted. I'm going to get a good night sleep tonight and then tomorrow get caught up on everything I need to do. Of course, the one teacher gave us a big homework assignment to do over break week. Then for my other class, I have to do a Powerpoint presentation on offshoring, read chapter, take chapter quiz, and do a homework paper. Also for this class I have to work on some stuff for my group project - some screen mockups and css stylesheets for our prototype program. So,I have quite a bit to do there.

Then on the home front, I want to get the my filing caught up and make up cookie dough for Christmas and freeze. I also need to get my bedroom cleaned out. We'll see how I actually get done. lol.
