Do you have what it takes to seduce a celebrity?

May 15, 2007 by Tricia

Are you a fan of Mirelly Taylor? If so, you could win a date with her in GoFish.com’s Seduce a Celeb contest!

If you’re interested in win a trip, a hotel stay and most of all a date with a beautiful celebrity go on over to Go Fish and watch some Free videos at GoFish.com. Watch Mirelly’s video where she’ll explain what you have to do to enter the contest and then do the three tasks which involves making three different videos and submit them as directed. The contest will run for the next 14 weeks.

That’s all you have to do to enter this interesting contest. By the way, did you know that since the viewing audience is able to fully participate in this online show that this is the first program of it’s kind? Yes there’s some television shows like American Idol where the viewing audience has a say in what’s happening in the show, but for this show audience members who chose to participate become part of the show through their video entries.

Now in case you don’t recognize the name Mirelly Taylor – she’s been seen on shows such as Las Vegas, Punk’d and Numb3rs, as well as in the movies Kiss Me Again and Serving Sara. She’s a rising star.

Whether you enter the contest or not you’ve got to check out the video entries! Some of them are really funny. Of course, if you want to stand out from the crowd you should submit a video that’s creative to say the least.

I think this sounds like a fun contest to enter and to watch. I’m sure there’ll be some great video submissions and I can’t wait to see some of them. Since this is a unique kind of contest it will be interesting to watch how it plays out. I wonder if they’ll have sequels? I hope they do a male celeb next. Yeah, I’m married, but I think Chris would let me go on a date with a celebrity just once.

I didn’t even try them on!

May 15, 2007 by Tricia

Ok, we’re back from that silly doctors appointment.

It was so hot here today, that as we went back to the car after the appointment Chris and I looked at each other and we decided right then and there to go to a store and buy some summer clothes.

I’d been looking for shorts on and off for the last month or two but I hadn’t really found anything that I liked. Since it was already in the 80’s and getting hotter it was definitely time to go hunting for some cooler clothes!

We went to Winners.

You know what it’s like there. Either they have nothing that interests you, or you feel like you won the lottery. At least it’s that way for me.

Since I wasn’t feeling that well and I wanted to get back home to hopefully make a bit of money via the internet I opted to not try on any of the clothes that I picked out. Hopefully that wasn’t a huge mistake! I kept the receipt – I can always return them!

I purchased one new top, 6 pairs of shorts, 6 pairs of Capri pants and other pants, and one of those really soft fluffy house coats. Chris got four shirts and two pairs of shorts.

Why do they call shorts a pair of shorts when it’s only one item?

So uhm … the bill was pretty high! Most of the items were only $20 to $29 each, but when you purchase that many items it adds up!

Obviously I didn’t need all those pairs of shorts and pants and I fully expect that I’ll be taking some back since I didn’t bother to try them on – and still haven’t. However, since I don’t really go out shopping all that often, and since I have been looking for these items for a few months I figured I might as well pick out several of each and if they fit well and I like them, well I won’t have to buy any more this year!

Don’t ya just love a good shopping spree?

Settling in the Watch Heroes and 24

May 14, 2007 by Tricia

I’m still not feeling all that well but at least I’m not in quite as much pain as I was yesterday. Yesterday was very bad!

Tonight, Chris and I marinated and grilled some Rainbow trout, and I did my potato veggie grill again. Yes, I’m going to list the recipes sometime soon if any of you are interested. So far the food is sitting ok.

We taped Heroes, 24 and a few other shows on the DVR and we’re just relaxing watching the shows. Is anyone else watching Heroes? It’s the second last show. Actually I think tonights 24 is the second last show too.

Pretty soon all we’ll have will be reruns on TV again … I think this year we’ve had more reruns than new episodes of all the top shows. Kind of sucks doesn’t it.

If I was a horse you’d shoot me …

May 13, 2007 by Tricia

I really wanted to get around to all my Green Thumb Sunday participants today. I wanted to see what’s blooming in their gardens and weed the sites out that haven’t been participating in quite a while. I also wanted to visit some of the sites of people who participate in Photo Hunters and the Do Follow blogroll.

I had hoped to get into my garden for at least an hour to work on pruning and tidying the areas that I haven’t touched yet.

Most important of all I wanted and needed to redesign the theme for this blog – I’m tired of it, and I need to redesign it so I can put some ads up for the new network that I’ve been accepted into (my big deal!!), and to top it all off I wanted to re-design my husbands blog Guitar Licks too because it’s theme totally sucks and I’ve got a really cool theme to use for that site.

Forget mothers day. I’m not a mom. Chris’ family never got it together to do anything for his mom this weekend either so our Sunday was supposed to be free … for me to work …

I wasn’t able to do any of that today.

I think whatever my husbands been fighting since Friday got to me. Except since I have Crohn’s disease it hit my stomach hard and I’ve been in awful pain all day. Not to mention almost constantly feverish.

I feel horrid. I wasn’t able to eat much either. I tried to eat dinner but my abdomen really started to hurt once I got a bit of food down and I had to stop. I hope I’m not going into yet another flare. I’ve already been in a constant flare for more than two years – I don’t need it to peak again.

I’m so sick of this. I can’t make any plans. I can’t even rely on the small plans I make for myself because it always depends on how I’m feeling. This makes me feel useless.

I want to go to a big blogging convention in Las Vegas in November and I’m being asked already if I’m going and, honestly, I can’t say. All I can say is that I want to go. For all I know I’ll either be so sick I’ll be in the hospital at that time, or I might be feeling healthy for the first time in two years. I just don’t know.

Instead, on days like today I’m just lying on the couch, grimacing in pain. Watching TV to try to take my mind off of the hell my body is putting me through. At least I had the Survivor finale to watch this evening. Good going Earl!

If life’s a race I’m falling behind … and If I were a race horse people would be thinking about putting me down about now.

ProFlowers – special occasion flowers and gift ideas

May 12, 2007 by Tricia

Well it’s Mother’s day tomorrow. Did you make some plans to see your mother, or perhaps if you can’t be with her maybe you arranged for a flower delivery? If you forgot you can always send a belated flower delivery or gift basket.

ProFlowers has some wonderful selections of Mother’s Day flowers and even though it’s too late to order them for tomorrows delivery they have some gorgeous mixed bouquets. Some even come with free weekday delivery!

Did you know that Proflowers delivers the freshest flowers? The flowers for your selection come fresh from the fields. I don’t think that there are many other companies that specialize in flower delivery that can offer such fresh flowers.

Don’t feel like giving your mom or someone you love flowers? What about a lovely gift basket, or gourmet basket? Perhaps your mother would prefer a potted green plant or flowering plant? Maybe a bonsai or potted orchids? It’s up to you. Just know that there’s a wide selection of item to choose from at ProFlowers. You won’t be disappointed.

If you’d like to learn more about flowers you might enjoy taking a look at another section of their site called the Florapedia flower guide. You can use the guide to learn more about caring for plants, the meaning of the various flowers and their colors, and even get some help deciding which flowers to send your mom.

Remember to visit Proflowers the next time you need gift ideas or want to send flowers for a special occasion.
