Blu Frog Contest

BluFrog is holding a contest and I want you to win a cool prize. You can choose from one of the following prizes:

Happy Blu Year: You and a guest get to go to New York City on New Years Eve. You get three nights in a luxurious hotel, and a helicopter ride for two over the city. Any trip to NY would be grat for me, not too sure I would enjoy the helicopter ride though.

Blullapalooza: This trip centers around Lollapalooza, which is being held in Chicago August 7-9. You will get two tickets to the event and a two night stay in a luxurious hotel. I think I know a certain Boy who would love to win this trip.

BluStreak: It's a trip to Florida, where you get to participate in the Richard Petty Driving Experience. You will get two nights in a luxurious hotel, and two tickets for the driving experience. Hmmmmm……Do I get to hug Richard Petty?

ExtremeBlu: It is a trip to Aspen and the extreme part is that you will get two tickets to the Winter X Games. This trip gives you three nights in a luxurious hotel. I see that Boy’s name written on this one as well

BluGamer: To clarify this is not a trip, this is a Gaming Package. You get an XBox360 Elite package, Rock Band 2 bundle, Call of Duty: World at War Complete Package, and a wireless adapter. I worked at the E3 (gaming) conference this year and all of these names were on the tips of tongues.

All you need to do to enter is go to the BluFrog contest page and leave a comment, letting them know which prize you want to win, and why.

Or if you are of the Tweeting variety you can Tweet about the contest. Include which prize you want to win, being sure to use #bluword and http://bit.ly/UiiJy in your tweet.

Mr. Bubble

I am giving away some good old fashioned fun on my review blog. Go check it out!

A picture is worth a thousand words

I have a great review and giveaway posted over here. Check it out!

Charter HDTV-a-Day Sweepstakes

Charter Communications is our local Cable Provider. We have had better service and better options than other area cable providers. Charter was the first in our area to go with below ground fiber optics. Although it was a pain during the process 10+ years ago it has been amazing ever since. The cable rarely if ever "goes out" or glitches. Of course there was that one day when Noggin wasn’t working (of all the stupid channels to not work!) and I thought Caitlyn was going to go off on someone, preferably not me!

HD programming continues to grow in popularity and Charter is offering customers who order HDTV services at Charter.com a chance to win a 22” flat screen HDTV every day throughout April? Yep they sure are. The grand prize package includes a 52” LCD flat screen HDTV, a Home Theater System, and one year of free Charter Digital Cable® service with HD programming.

The contest is open to new AND upgrading customers. So often cable companies only offer stuff to new customers, but Charter recognizes the importance of those that are already subscribers. If a current or new customer orders Cable, High Speed or Telephone online at Charter.com throughout April – they are automatically entered upon installation to win.

Work Your Space

I have started an Organization Blog as a part of Adrienne's House. Let's call it the office.

See that link up above the one right there in the center? Yep the one that says "Time and Space Management", go click on it and it will take you right there.

It is still kinda new, so not much is there, but what is there right now is one of my favorite items and I am sharing it with you!

Wanna Play A Game?

I recited those words so many times as a kid. All of my siblings are at least 5 years older than me so the answer more often than not was no. Not that it never happened. I remember camping in Hamilton ON. in high school and playing a brand new game our campsite neighbors had, my mom bought the game on the way home, it became the favorite game in our house for many years to come. The game was Trivial Pursuit.

Unfortunately when my kids were small, I worked in retail which required horrible hours and there wasn't as much game playing as I would have liked. Looking back I wish we had established a Family Game Night. We played sporadically, Sorry, Battleship (those were my faves), Guess Who, Monopoly, Clue and Life. We even at times ventured into variations on the old favorites, Simpson's Clue made it's way onto our table and Adam has a collection of different Monopoly games.

In their new feature on Family Game Night Time to Play Magazine lists 22 top choices (other than the old standards) with their #1 choice being the other favorite game of my family - Tripoley (better know as Michigan Rummy). We would gather all of us (usually 10 or more) around the kitchen table on Navy or a picnic table at a campsite and play into the wee hours of the morning. No one wanting to go to bed until someone, anyone got the pot for the 8,9,10 and the K&Q of hearts. These marathons would last so long we would start playing with pennies and next thing you know there would be dollar bills involved and sometimes even those with a double digit.

Resourceful Mommy is on a course to help instill Family Game Night in every household. Join her this Friday, Feb. 27th as she officially kicks off the return of Family Game Night with a SiteWarming Party for Time to Play.

From 9:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. EST, she'll tweet with Toy Expert Jim Silver, editor in chief of Time to Play Magazine. Jim Silver is one of the preeminent experts in the toy, licensing, and family entertainment industries. With more than 25 years experience working in the publishing and toy industries, Jim has learned from some of the most prestigious toy manufacturers and has appeared on hundreds of television programs. Bring your toy questions!

Giveaway Day 5

WOW! This isn't as easy as it looks.







I have a few more sponsors lined up for later in the month, but for right now I am kinda winging it on my own.







Since we did books yesterday, we can move on to my other favorite pastime - MOVIES! I love going to the movies. I especially love going to the movies alone. I know that seems odd to most, but really, do you want someone to talk to you? I just want to sit back relax and enjoy a good movie, or catch a good nap during a bad one. Within the last few weeks I have seen so many good ones, Seven Pounds, Benjamin Button, Frost/Nixon, Milk, just to name a few.







Today, I am giving you a chance to win DVD's of two of my favorite movies

AND

Chicago! and Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest!

Anything with Johnny Depp is worth watching more than once and Chicago is a classic that will never get old.
