Don’t cry over Spilt Milk – Laugh!

by

I guess I’m having a regular Linky Love fest over here today. I figured that while I was spreading the love I should also tell you about Spilt Milk – the blog.

Spilt Milk is written by Tee, a stay at home mom with two boys. Like Lisa, I know Tee from some of the forums that we both frequent.

Tee’s blog is a great site to visit when you want a laugh or when you feel like reading some inspirational stories like the story about the mother of a soldier who’s currently stationed in Iraq and how he wanted his mom to send him some silly string.

Along with humorous posts, funny videos and images you’ll find some mighty cool links such as the ones in one of her recent posts entitled Cool things to do with Google, the virtual pumpkin carving contest, or perhaps the video of the of the guitar player with no arms. I must show that post to my husband!

I really like her post with Balloon Art photos! Now that’s cool.

Poke around her site for a while. I’m sure you’ll find some things that make you laugh. Oh and as you might do with any site that you enjoy – don’t forget to bookmark her site or subscribe so you won’t miss any posts!





B.C. plane crash

by

As I’ve been sitting at my computer trying to get some posts done I’ve been listening to the television in the background.

They just interrupted the show that was on to tell us about a small plane crash in Richmond BC. You should see the damage! The plane is right inside the building! At this time they have no confirmed injuries, although I’d imagine that the pilot might be severely injured or even dead.

The reason why I’m writing about this though is because as I was listening to the news cast the reporter couldn’t get straight where the accident was … she’d say Richmond B.C – a suburb of Vancouver and then she said, once, Richmond Virginia.

Well what is is? She confused the heck out me! The big red banner across the bottom of the screen says “B.C. Plane Crash” so I’m assuming that it really is in Richmond.

The other reason that this newscast caught my attentions is because my brother and his family live in Vancouver and I have some friends that live in the affected suburb. I’m fairly certain that no one I know is affected, but still, when you hear of something bad happening in an area where your friends and relatives live you pay more attention, don’t you?

Should I go shopping while in Vegas?

by

I can’t believe it’s the nineteenth of October already! Our trip to Las Vegas is coming up fast! Two and a half weeks from now we’ll be in that busy city! Good thing our passports arrived yesterday huh?

I know I’m going to be at blogging conventions and I probably won’t have a lot of time to do much other than attend the conventions and perhaps some of the places along the strip where we are staying, but if I can I’d like to do a little shopping.

With our Canadian dollar being higher than the US dollar I might be able to find some fantastic deals.

When I was searching for a hotel for us to stay in I noticed that only about 10 miles away from the strip there’s a big outlet mall. I wonder if any other bloggers that are going to the convention might be interested in a shopping excursion?

I need new clothes! Plus maybe I can get a few Christmas gifts out of the way too? Chris has always liked playing golf, perhaps I could find some Mizuno golf clubs for him at a discount? I’m also still looking for a macro and a telescopic lens for my SLR camera and I’m pretty sure that they are cheaper in the US than they are here in Canada … yeah, maybe I’ll come back with some new toys!

SourceTix.com has tickets for events throughout North America

by

I think it’s always a great idea to know of a few online sites where you can find tickets to major events. SourceTix.com is definitely a site to check out.

SourceTix.com offers a comprehensive inventory of Theatre Tickets, concert tickets, and sports tickets.

The site has recently been redesigned. I’m not familiar with it’s former layout, but I found SourceTix.com’s current layout to be quite easy to use. There are menu buttons under the page header that will take site visitors directly to the sites home page, sports, concert or theater ticket listing sections. There’s also a menu on the left side of the page with expanded listings for each of the main ticket categories and a search box.

I actually like the fact that visitors can easily search for event tickets by city. It appears that visitors can search for tickets pretty much anywhere in North America.

As someone who’s going to be traveling to another city in the near future I appreciate the ability to search for tickets throughout North America. Who knows, perhaps I’ll spend some time on the site and see if I can find tickets for some events in Las Vegas in November. I’d love to see one of the shows in Vegas while I’m there.

You’ll be able to find tickets for upcoming future events and even to sold out or hard to get events. For example, I live in Toronto and even thought the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team isn’t doing so hot games are almost always sold out. They have a strong fan base and it’s always hard to get tickets. I checked the listings for the leafs and SourceTix.com has tickets for Saturday and other future games! Unbelievable.

I just told my husband and he had me check for tickets for a game which should be popular with the fans – the Toronto Maple Leafs Vs. Montreal Canadiens November 13th and yes, there are tickets. That impressed my husband to no end.

When searching for concert or theater tickets you can search by top sellers, top venues, by specific locations such as Broadway, off Broadway and in other ways.

No matter what your entertainment interests are SourceTix.com is a site to bookmark and keep in mind the next time you want to go to an event.

Oh and at this time SourceTix.com is offering a 2007 promotion for 5% off tickets. Just use the following code “source07” when you order tickets.
