How About Some Freebies With Your Order?


I frequently peruse magazines for good deals and here and there I have tried to pass them on to you, my peeps. I read about this site: www.heyitsfree.net that supposedly lists all the truly no-strings-attached free deals out there. So I went on to check out the site...and I was hooked. I had to stop at some point because I was gaining such momentum in my freebie frenzy that I almost requested free samples of cooking spices! Me! They would look nice in the kitchen but I wouldn't have a clue what to do with them. Then I started thinking to myself..."in 6-8 weeks I'm either going to start getting all kinds of cool stuff in the mail, or my computer is going to start crashing from all the spam I'll be getting from these sites I just gave all my info to!"....so ask me how I'm doing in 6-8 weeks...

Another site I have mentioned before, but worth another mention is www.6pm.com
Sign up to get their daily deals emailed to you. You might get sick of seeing their email every day, but in the subject line is usually listed the 3 or 4 brands that are on sale for that day only. If you have children (like me) that will only wear certain brands or shoes or clothes, you can great some great deals. A good example: Dansko makes great shoes for people who need comfort, but they are expensive. This past Sunday they had a $115.00 pair of shoes for only $28! You heard me....a little word to the wise though, don't wait until later in the day to go back and order as they do run out of sizes.

My last little tid bit for you today is www.dailygrommet.com - this site features one little-known, yet useful product each day. At least that's how it was described in the article I was reading. I've checked it out...I would say some of the items should stay "little-known"...who needs an invisible belt?

Try To Remember People, I'm A Good, Catholic Girl...


There is nothing I can do now but apologize to all my adoring fans. I was hacked. I had not been on my blog since my last post on December 11, 2009...you know how it is, the Holidays, the stress, etc....so I went on the other night with the intention of posting something new and I thought I had accidentally clicked into someone else's site...it took me a few seconds to figure out my blog had been hacked. There, at the top of the screen, was an inappropriate cartoon with an unGodly amount of html code. So if you did happen to view my blog while this was posted and thought to yourself, "Hmm, she seems to have changed the general undertones of her postings"...shame on you! Remember, I'm a good, Catholic girl. I hope viewing this posting didn't cause any harm to anyone's computer...I have no idea how hacking works so I'm assuming it was just random and for the most part, harmless. If you didn't view the post while it was up, I'm not going to tell you what the cartoon was...no I'm not going to refer to the cartoon Avatar and Smurf at all nor what they were supposed to be doing...
