I’ve been having a bit of a rough time lately in my personal life and this is something that never fails to give me the giggles. I hope it does the same for you Read Full Story

Everyone knows what it’s like to be part of a small fundraiser right? Remember when you were a kid and you had to sell cookies for brownies, or chocolate bars. I remember bottle drives and raffles for my softball team and bingo games for the church youth group. Now these things are on a very small scale but for some small charities, they have the same goal of raising money and not much more starting funds than my softball team had. Since small charities often don’t have alot of mo... Read Full Story

I have never really discussed the business side of blogging to much degree and last night, a conversation with friends sparked my interest. We were talking about the costs of running a fundraiser or function … or even just a business in general. What are your major expenses going to be? We all agreed the advertising is a biggie. Be it web advertising, radio, newspaper and print such as fliers, business cards, etc. This morning I came across this for postcard printing. This company call... Read Full Story

I’ve been counting down the days so as you might imagine, I was just a little bit excited for this release! And I was SOOOO not disappointed! In a word, I LOVE it!! I was already a fan of the music so maybe that’s the kicker. It’s fun to be playing lead guitar and know all the words to so you really feel like you’re rocking out.  There’s a good amount of difficulty so it’s not just a cake walk which is something that’s important to me. Easy mode provi... Read Full Story

Thanks to the mysterious rise in temperature and good weather in Eastern Canada, L33tzor and I have managed a few good days with sand and sun! The city that we live in was Canada’s first incorporated city and was a very successful and busy port back in the day. While it has changed very much since then, you can still see some remnants of it’s glory days. While walking along certain beaches in the area, you can see a graveyard as such of old piers and the like. I love the contrast ... Read Full Story

Seriously, sometimes I really wonder about people. Let’s say I know this family. For the purpose of this post, let’s say this family is related to my family. (No, it’s not my immediate family just so you know.) So they’ve always had some problems. They’ve always been on welfare (social assistance for the non-Canadians) because of laziness first, and extreme illness mostly. That’s not even my issue. Social assistance is there to help those who need it, and h... Read Full Story

Hi all!! Hope all is well in the interwebs! As the past few days have been completely GORGEOUS, I have spent them outside in the sun working on my tan. Ok, so I’m a little burnt and when naked I look like I’m wearing a white bikini but it’s going to turn into a tan in a few days woohoo! I even planted a little garden yesterday which I am very proud of! I planted some carrots, beans, cucumbers, and spinach. I put them into little rows and am very excited to see them grow. If ...

So I received my lovely little Blackberry in the mail a few days ago and have been obsessed with playing with it ever since. There are still lots of things I can’t figure out how to do, but I’m enjoying puttering around the internet finding different applications to download and different instructions on how to [...] Read Full Story
