I apologize for all the random posts the last few days! I Hope however, that you have enjoyed reading some random stuff about me that I might not have otherwise wrote about! I always like to find things that are unique and like that to write about when I get the chance! I guess where I have slacked off so much It all comes full circle! I am considering making another site for a more "Snarky Semi-Local" portion of my life. I don't know why that I want the 2 to mix but I do lol.I don't know why I think I can keep up with another site either..I guess we will see how this goes! Today is a very dreary icky day, and I want nothing more than to curl up in the bed and sleep/read/watch tv. Luckily the only thing I really need to get done is washing some dishes! I am already panicing about going to my grandma's this weekend. As usual. I know i'll end up talking myself out of it :( I hope not, but I know my mom will start getting on my nerves and then i'll say to heck with it. Which … [Read more...]

Reviewers Retreat: Sunday Recap
I was up bright & early on sunday morning..I was up at what 4:30? I blogged a little before we left, bought david's tailgate party pass. That's when my bad luck began. Well actually my bad luck had started with the fact that I finally realized my #revret12 tweets didn't show up on the timeline/twitter feed./// like for all these months. and..well.. they still don't :( The party pass went through paypal 4 times, and ended up coming out 3 times! It put me a little bit behind on money, needless to say! We left here about 9:15 and took the long way around. We went in Kohls to get david a nice shirt and pair of swimming shorts and lo and behold the shorts ended up ring up twice & they had to void everything and do it all over! We had some extra time so we ran in target. They had 50 shades of grey books and well, I wanted hard copies so I go to check out with them and the girl tried to run my target card as debit and not credit..and well we had to wait for a manager to … [Read more...]
I don’t really “get stuff for free” it’s called I review, ie I work for it!
One of the biggest pet peeves I have is the whole perception of bloggers like myself, is that we get stuff for "free" and/or that's the only reason that we do what we do. Even more so are the people that only talk to me when they see me post something that I got to review and /or got for a perk/ at a review conference,etc to be like Oh em gees, you go that for free! I want one too, share your contact info with me. which comes with the hidden message: I know I haven't talked to you in 5 years but you'd surely want to hook me up too right? I am too lazy to look into this on my own but since you have contacts you'd be more than happy to share them, because nichole you are just too sweet and a pushover to say no right? WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. Seriously if you aren't going to talk to me about anything else unfriend me and walk away. Let me just say: it's not like I threw up a blog, and started getting paid post/reviews the next day Having a blog is work. I have … [Read more...]
Mom’s Foot & Capones pizza and odd combo..I know
I won't ever forget when my mom got hurt at work and later on had to file for workers compensation insurance I had just ordered this huge huge pizza from Capones (an appalachian state university/ boone, nc pizza joint!) which is the best pizza place ever. Ordered that thing up with garlic and hamburger..my mouth is watering now! I no sooner get the pizza delivered my mom frantically calls me telling me she's going to the hospital because a product shelf (glass) fell on her foot at work! My mom still has problems with her foot..actually with both feet. she calls one her bad good one and the other her good bad one lol. I hate that she made her living standing on her feet and now she just can't do it anymore :( … [Read more...]
