Survivor China

September 20, 2007 by Tricia

So it begins!

First- I’m really happy that there’s been some new shows on TV this week. There were a few great shows last year that my husband and I got addicted to and we’re both looking forward to seeing their premieres and watching them regularly again.

Ok Survivor … I guess I’m not as much of a fan as I used to be. This one didn’t do all that much for me. I’m pretty sure I’ll watch this seasons episodes if for nothing else than to see the beautiful landscape and wildlife of China.

Clothing … no bras? High heels? Fishnet stockings? What were these survivors thinking? Smart survivors wear a few layers of clothing on Day one just in case they can’t bring anything from their suitcases with them. In fact I think the last five or so episodes have all started out with the survivors only having the clothes they were wearing on day one.

So what do the Survivor China contestants do? They wear flimsy outfits and are upset when they are told that that’s all they can have to start out.

As my husband watched the first five or so minutes of Survivor he kept making remarks about how large some of the women’s breasts were. “Did you see the boobs on that one?” LOL Now, I’m sure he notices what other women look like, but he’s not normally that vocal about it so it was amusing.

I don’t know about you, but normally by the end of the first episode there’s at least one or two survivors that I like and that I hope do well. This time? I didn’t really get a feel for anyones’ personality so I don’t have any favorites yet.

Ok well … I do like the way James looks and how he wields an axe!

What did you think of the show?

Who would have thought blogging would be such work?

September 20, 2007 by Tricia

Wow, this blogging thing has become a real job lately! Maintaining all of my sites and my husbands takes a good portion of time each day.

When I’m not creating new posts for each of my blogs I’m answering email and some of the comments left on the blogs. The rest of the time I’m either working on securing advertising or making the advertising that I’m using on the sites work better for me or I’m trying to promote the sites.

I used to have more time to promote the websites, but I think this is the area I’ve let fall behind the most as I’ve gotten busier and busier.

I consider promoting our sites to be anything from having fun visiting my friends and others blogs and leaving comments to finding a new Blogging Directory in which to list our sites. Oh yes, social networking sites like Mybloglog, Blogcatalog and Bumpzee are one way that I promote our sites.

How do you manage your sites? Do you just blog and leave the rest to chance or do you do some background work to try to get the word out about your blog?

Traveling in style

Wordless Wednesday

VW bike

I’ve always loved old mini VW vans, but I’ve never seen one this small!

I wonder what this biker keeps in his tiny VW? Great for storage or even a pet but certainly not a person. Ok, well I suppose an infant or child could ride in the VW sidecar too.

Have you ever seen motor bikes done up in funny ways like this?

Shopping for the holidays? Here’s a way to save money

September 19, 2007 by Tricia

The holidays will be upon us soon and I’m sure that many of you have already started shopping. I’m definitely not one of those people who are ready for the holidays three months in advance, but I know some of you might be finished shopping already.

If you are beginning to shop for the holidays you might want to visit webbyplanet.com. It’s an e-commerce search site where you can find great deals, discounts, coupons and free shipping at over 5000 retail and online stores.

When you visit Webbyplanet.com you can browse through the shopping categories or do a search for the product for which you are hoping to find a deal or coupon. Once you find the store or product you were looking for you can browse through the listings to find coupons that you can print and use for in store purchases, or you can find coupon codes to use while online.

Each listing links to the store the coupon or deal is related to and that makes it easy to take advantage of the bargain you found and shop for it right away.

Looking through the site I found quite a few deals and coupons. Many of the listings were for $10 to $20 off an item or service, and other listings gave discounts in percentages of 15% to 35% and higher. All of the listings are in chronological order which means the ones at the top are the newest listings.

Visit WebbyPlanet today and start saving money at online stores like Eddie Bauer, Buy.com, Overstock.com, Sephora and more!

Ready to buy a telephoto lense

September 18, 2007 by Tricia

The other day I decided to do some serious hunting for a telephoto lens for my Canon Digital SLR camera.

I found two lenses that I wanted to purchase. On Amazon of all places, and the price wasn’t too bad, but then I noticed that they would only ship those items to American addresses.

So … who knows of a great place to get camera lenses and accessories online for a good price? A place that ships throughout North America of course. Maybe Ebay? Any other ideas for me?

I was all set to plunk down about $700! It’s there loss. I’ll find the lenses I want at a good price somewhere else.
