Fast online loans

January 23, 2007 by Tricia

Did you know that if you are looking to get a small loan or a cash advance on your paycheck that you can do it via the Payday website?

The process is actually very easy, simply fill in the information on the quick Qualify form on the main page and you’ll find out almost instantly if you qualify for Payday cash Advance Loans. It really is that simple.

There aren’t very many companies that allow you to get an Online Cash Advance but you can very easily, quickly and painlessly at the Payday Loan Online website. You don’t have to fax any paperwork to the company, and you don’t have to wait for days to find out if you qualify.

Check it out the next time you find yourself short on cash and in need of some money quickly.

Tricia’s Musings Birthday Jan 21

January 22, 2007 by Tricia

This is a sticky post, regular posts below

birthdaycake

I’m trying to decide what to do for Tricia’s Musings first birthday. Should I hold a blog party on Sunday?


Will you come to Tricia’s Blog Party Jan. 21st?




View Results


Ok, so if you’re coming to the party it will start right at midnight EST Sunday January 21st. Tricia’s Musings will be one year old on that day so if you’re bringing gifts with you please make them age appropriate.

Some hints on the types of gifts that you might bring Tricia’s Musings:

Birthday Hat Tricia’s Musings loves having fun and enjoys nothing more than a good laugh. Musings also enjoys photos of nature and just anything that could be considered drop dead gorgeous (that includes nice looking men of course!). I’ll leave it up to your imagination because I know that you all have vivid imaginations. Surprise me ok?

Chocolate fountain It’s going to be a pot luck party. Tricia will be serving Chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate, chocolate ice cream and chocolate cake. There will also be bowls of fresh fruit and veggie trays with ranch dip. Notice the chocolate theme- that’s a hint if I ever did see one.

Now, you know Tricia’s Musings is located in the Great White North don’t ya?

Yes, the Mackenzie brothers, Bob and Doug, have promised to make an appearance so I guess I’d better make sure we have lots of good Canadian beer on hand. Oh and the guys from Rush should drop by to entertain us too.

Here’s Bob and Doug for ya from their movie Strangebrew:

However, one reason why I wanted you to know that this party is in the Great White North is because I’ve gone to a lot of work to change my garden into an icy party palace:

And of course you can’t have an ice garden party without an ice bar!

Absoluteice absoluteicebar

I know that some of you come from warm climates. Don’t worry, the party will be indoors and out. Of course the bar is going to be outside so you can enjoy your vodka and other drinks nice and cool, but feel free to come back inside to warm up.

So bring warm clothes. Maybe we’ll hold a contest to see who wins for best fashion parka. But don’t forget to bring your bathing suits too! We rented a Hot Tub that you can dip into as well.

Ok what am I missing – we’ve got a band, entertainment, booze, of course we’ll also have juice, water and soft drinks like coke, Pepsi, ginger ale (Canada Dry of course!) root beer, orange, cream soda, and grape, an ice bar, and ice garden and a hot tub. Plus hopefully my guest will bring some food and drink as well.

Chris, my husband will bring out his guitars and our keyboard and we’ll have some of his music plus maybe a sing along too.

Is there anything else we need before the party starts?

If you’re coming to the party please tell us how you first discovered Tricia’s Musings and how long ago that was. Oh and feel free to bring stories, photos or video of Tricia or Tricia’s musings doing embarrassing things. Tricia’s going to be well medicated at the party so she won’t mind.

Update: wow, it’s been a great party! Hugh Laurie is streaking through the garden, Rush is still playing and the Bare Naked Ladies are entertaining the crowd inside the house too. A few people have been here all day and they’ve been drinking all day too, so now we have people dancing on the ice bar and diving into the Hot tub! It’s been fun!

Thanks for coming to Tricia’s Musings blogaversary party!

My garden in the summer

January 21, 2007 by Tricia

Join Green Thumb Sunday

Join

Alright, you can see pics of my pseudo ice garden above. Are you having fun at the blog party? I hope you are! Have some champagne!

Now that you know what my garden looks like in the winter when I do it up as an ice garden *wink *wink I thought I’d show you what it looks like in the summer.

These photos are a few years old. My garden is much more mature now and the plants average at least four feet tall:

Bird on a Wire

January 20, 2007 by Tricia

Grab the Scavenger Hunt code.
Photo Theme. Join the blogroll. Visit participants.

This weeks theme is Wild

I caught this common bird, a House Sparrow I think, sitting on the electric wire in my backyard this summer.

Fluffing the feathers:

We keep bird feeders in the garden, and even though we didn’t fill them that much this past year we’ve always had lots of different birds in the yard. Everything from golden finches to sparrows, Blue Jays, crows, and grackles frequent my yard. I grow a lot of flowers that birds like so, other than the bird feeders, perhaps that’s why they enjoy our yard.

Smart cat and dog team

January 20, 2007 by Tricia

OMG you’ve got to watch this video!

This has to be the smartest cat and dog team that I’ve ever seen.

It’s a commercial for dog and cat food and the animals do something ingenious with the food in order to protect their home.

I wonder how on earth they trained them to do this:
