I can think of the 100 different ways this would be useful for Mason at college. Especially carrying it around while he rides his bike from class to class.

Do you guys want to enter? And then give it to me? JUST KIDDING! But, I can think of quite a few of you that REALLY need one! Especially my favorite "nerd" or I am sure you have a need for it also or for someone you know. I could use it myself, but, kids come first!

So, Head over to "Revive Your Life" and Enter to Win The Asus Netbook!

And while you are there, check out the rest of their cool site.

You all know I like to enter contests, but, I enter contests at blogs that I especially like, and I like this one ranks high on my list. I am really glad I found this one! It is a lot different then most.

This is a community-based website that focuses on promoting self improvement and wellness.

Revive: Verb; From L.revivere "to live again"

rethink.renew. revive your life

Here are some of the great posts that everyone;

Refined Sugar and Health
Do You Suffer from Hyperventilation Syndrome?
The Impact of Magnesium Deficiency on Well-Being
What Are Antioxidants and Why Do You Need Them?
The H2O Factor: Hydration Supports Healthy Weight Loss

I found them all very informative, especially the "The Impact of Magnesium Deficiency on Well Being". I had been diagnosed with severe deficiencies in Vitamins D, B, and other things. To my surprise, there are a LOT of folks deficient in Vitamin D. I would have thought living in Hawaii and Florida would have given me enough to last my entire life but, I guess moving to the PNW was my downfall. Who knows why, just that it is common and folks should check into it.

The recent Post

"Do Before you die - A Bucket List" is one I really enjoyed.

A little preview:

Instead of hiding from death by putting strict limitations on your life, it should be accepted and subsequently used as motivation to reap the benefits life has to offer and get the most out of it while you still have the time.

While the glimmer of Hollywood production values and the combined talents of two respected actors shed an entertaining light on having a “bucket list,” the film consequently reinvented the notion of living as if there may be no tomorrow. If everyone compiled a list of goals they want to achieve before they die, it would not only help many come to terms with their impending fate, but also allow them to feel complete and satisfied with their lives when the time comes.

The article goes on to talk about some ideas about what you might want on your "list" or just finding what it is that inspires you so that even if you have accepted death, you can still have a more inspiring, purposeful life that you find that completness and comfort in.. I would hate to think that I, for instance, would let my disability get in the way of doing the things that make me happy down to my heart and soul and that I derive a feeling of completeness from.

Sitting around and using my illness as an excuse not to live my life to its fullest gives me the willies. I do not want to pass on thinking I did not do all I can do to grow in spirit, love and adventure. I have so much I want to do, especially for my kids. I want to make sure I leave behind a lot of memories for them and my grandkids. I don't want them to remember me as someone that just sat around miserable all the time.

So, go and check it out and enter to win. You do need to sign up for a subscription, but, I think this is one you will get lots of insight from.

Oh, no, say it ain't so!

It looks like my computer is about to go on the Fritz!

So I'm taking it to the doctor today.

I do not know how long I will be without it. But as you know, this is practically My whole life!

besides all my arts and crafts, plus my knitting , my contests and my blogs are everything.

So if you do not hear from me in a couple of days, it is not that I am ignoring you , it is because I do not have a computer.

But please, please, keep voting for Mason and his scooter! Yes, I have resorted to begging! And since I will not be around, I will not be able to Bugknew everybody to vote!

So please say prayer for my computer, so that I do not lose it or have to buy and other! I can't afford another computer! I will miss everybody, but I promise I will be back!

Please vote for Kitty Cat and all her hard work!

Vote Here!

You do not have to sign up or anything. But, leave a comment below the message so I know who you are. It took me a couple months to finally get Kitty cat to learn how to use the potty, and she was a real trooper when I kept moving her litter box closer to the commode, then inside the commode and then took away the litter. She got the hint very easily! It is worth watching, even if you don't vote. It is not like I am going to win a huge prize! But, I think it will make you all smile! I am also posting the video to the site..if I can for all of you that do not want to go through the trouble. I am not a desperate woman for these kinds of contests.

Look soon for my post on Mason's first Division one race!

Last Day for Dream Home Giveaway!!

Enter from the box at the top of the page! It is the last day and I want everyone to have a chance!

LOOK at what I WON!

I have wanted one of these all my life since I first saw one in someones home as a young girl.

I believe then, since it was massive, they were extemely expensive. But, this was a luxury I could never afford, especially with kids.

Now they are gone and we get to have one!

I actually won the contest in June of '08! I hope it does not take as long for me to recieve it! But, they have the most beautiful globes on this site and I would go visit and just drool! Hoping one day I would be able to be extravegant for once and buy one that I did not find at some garage sale or Goodwill. LOL! You know me...if it is not on clearance or I can't find it at Goodwill...I did not buy it!

Anyway, they have a contest going on for a different globe which is a monthly drawing. It is a small gemstone globe in a Gold hand. If you like these as much as I do, visit the site by clicking on their banner above and Good Luck!

Thanks to Paul from World Globes and Maps!!

Want $50 Bucks in CASH?

Then visit The Mom Nerb Blog and read a couple posts. There are other things to do for extra entries...but, you don't have to go searching for favorite products on another site.

She is a lot like me...scary. Trying to find her footing in the blogging world who, like myself, wants to talk about EVERYTHING, family, faith, and crafts. What to do...hummm! Another chatter box like myself...who cannot post a response with less then 500 words.

You can tell it has been a while since I have posted here. I am trying to figure out what to do, like she is...but, I have been crafting and spending time with the kids since they were home here for a month.

It is just me and Papa, plus the animals now. And then the last couple months have been nothing but drama and trama, (assualted, ripped off, son in a pickle, BIG pickle but, he is ok now) so I haven't really wanted to post, feeling like my life has turned upside down and confused about what I am doing and where I am going. These are things I can talk in general terms and need to vent about, but, I also want to start a new life with my disability doing my crafts and hopefully making a little income since I no longer work. And I want to have a life, outside the house, though I can't get out because of not being able to drive for now, or just saving money on gas and limiting my traveling out and about.

Being disabled...I live a lot through my computer and feel I can be a part of the outside world through the www. I have met wonderful people and found some great blogs. This one, The Mom Nerd, is one that seems to be my twin. I posted that we are "Twin Daughters of Different Mothers". Remember the album by Dan Folgelberg and Tim Wiseberg called "Twin Son's of Different Mothers"? But, not knowing her age...I might have dated myself and completely confused her!

The way she writes, I can hear her speak, and understand the dilemma of where she wants her blog to go and what she should concentrate on the most. Everywhere girl! Nothing wrong with talking about everything! Which you all know..I will talk about anything and everything also and cannot write a post or blog with less then 1000 characters. So, I found a similarity in her and what she was writing about.

Oh yeah...she is having a contest for cash! You can get more entries by posting on your blog about her and subscribing, etc. Which, if you like her and want her to succeed in gaining a follwoing of people that can relate to what she has to say and share stuff with, then you will be willing, like I am, to jump through the hoops, join her newsletters, blog, etc. The 50 bucks will be a bonus if you win, but, I think you will just be glad to find a down to earth lady who you will find as interesting as I did and most likely enjoy visiting on a regular basis.

So visit her site: The Mom Nerd...and start reading to enter and meet a great lady.

I had better post that this contest ends on 1-31-09, but, I bet she has more cool things going on, worth checking it out!

An Island Life and the Fine art of Family Sweeps

You have to check out this site, An Island Life . I get her emails daily, probably because it brings back the memories of when I use to live there. It is nice to read her blogs and she also has contests! The contest she has going now is for a beautiful Image Case Necklace, worth up to $150 from The Fine Art of Family. You MUST see their site, it is full of wonderful treasures that I am sure will become coveted heirlooms for years to come. In fact...I am surprised it took me this long to find them and add them to my favorite jewelry sites list! So, you must go, check it out and enter the contest. I think you will become addicted to Kailani's site and also start bugging the man for an addition to your collection of heirlooms from the other. Gotta go and figure out how to get her button put on the blog. So much to learn...so little time!
