I have received (2) VIP Tickets in exchange for writing about the Lake Norman Beerfest Featuring Southern Sauce BBQ in a press related pre-post and a follow up post with my experiences thoughts and opinions. All thoughts opinions and ideas expressed are honest and my own. Your Mileage may vary! This year marks the 6th year of Lake Norman Beerfest and this year they will be featuring Southern Sauce BBQ as well! This will also make my 3rd year of getting to attend! When David told me several years ago about the beerfest I had honestly never heard of such an event- I was so inquisitive and of course he didn't tell me to the day of and it was pretty much a last minute decision to go- we busted into some mad money we had at the time and ended up having his dad come along as well! In case you don't know what a beerfest is- it is basically the most awesome concept ever- you can sample all kinds of different beers as many times as you want - and it is included with your admission … [Read more...]

Super Early
Hey Everyone Well.. I am all off track today! David ended up having to get up super super early for work for today-the rest of the week and then he will be late getting home too. He doesn't have a phone right now either so I can't text or message him through the day so that is a bit different for me too. Anyways I woke up at like 330 this morning and ended up not falling back to sleep until after 630. I even ended up eating before I went back to sleep for some reason - if you don't know I am not a breakfast person and I hardly ever eat before like 10/11 in the morning so I don't know lol. I have 4 main goals today- but I think as long as I can get that post I need to work on done I am going to be o.k with whatever I end up doing or not doing! I actually started writing it and if I can just sit still for a few minutes it will pretty well write its self :) I had meant to ask David if he wanted me to make the tot casserole for dinner or just a pizza or something and I forgot. I … [Read more...]
Ramble Ramble
Hey Everyone Well I ended up staying up this morning even though I was on my way back to bed after David left. My mom had already been planning to go to the thrift shop and wanted to go ahead and take me grocery shopping. I don't feel like I got everything I needed to get though because we didn't go to walmart or harris teeter so I am hoping I can get there before she has surgery ... my biggest thing is I really don't have any beef except for hamburger meat- I would like some tips/roast/steaks to strip /cube steak any or all of those! I made french dip sandwiches last night and used my last roast! Tomorrow I am hoping to shave and straighten my hair (even though I am going to have to get it colored before next wed) and I do have a post that has to be wrote by thursday (Well to go live Thursday) so I need to do that but it will be really easy- I actually might work on it here in a few.I always forget I have the keyboard that goes with the tablet. David and I pretty well eat dinner … [Read more...]
bad luck in the family, hopefully everything is gonna smooth out!
Hey Everyone! Well David went back to work today and I have to say I am LOST a little bit without him lol. I Just got used to him being here and it was fun to just be even more chill than usual! I am trying though to get back into the pace of things where I can get up in the mornings and get stuff knocked out! It might take a few days before I can make that happen though- I just want to knock out some of my holiday gift guide reviews and I do have an important post I need to write and schedule for this week at the very least! I want to be in that get up early and get a million things done by lunch time and then chill club for sure. Which if I get ahead with writing reviews and just schedule that would even be better! I keep telling myself it is the season for coffee now so just perk up and go lol. I wish I could have had that kind of schedule this summer- but I really haven't had a whole lot to do it is just a schedule that makes me feel more accomplished even if I don't have … [Read more...]
checking in really quick!
Hey Everyone Well I have pretty well took the week off from the blogging aspect of things- I kind of figured that would be the way of it with David taking this week off though. We haven't really done a whole awful lot, but we haven't really been bored or anything either. I know We went to my moms for a cookout one day and then one day we went to the Nascar Hall of Fame- I am not big on racing but I went anyways and it was pretty alright. Honestly we have hung around the house and watched tv and played games and whatnot and its been rather relaxing and fun :) I have had more crazy stuff than I can even mention in one post happen to me with pitches and reviews. I am actually planning to write about one of them in a separate post because basically I was told yes, and then it yanked back because they are honestly in my opinion discriminating against me and I am pretty upset over it - I need to calm down and get the thought train in order before I Write it though I have got to … [Read more...]
cool & dreary day and that is more than o.k with me!
I am going to chalk this week up to waiting.. because I spent two days waiting on the apt people to fix the stupid door- and when they finally came at 4 pm yesterday (actually it was later than that) they still couldn't fix it because one of the hinges or screws or something was stripped. Oh and they sent me the young dude who can't even bother to change a trash bag up at the mailbox trashcan so.. I dont even know. I had to actually email them about 330 and ask them were they coming or what because I didn't want them to act like they came and we took the pins out and that sort of thing when they hadn't even shown up. I think they got their wires crossed when they sent out the letter because she said she'd not ever heard from me and I was like yeah I know I didn't think I had to contact you? Anyways..I have been on the lookout for them to do the actual HUD inspection ALL Day b/c you don't know which apts will get picked - I did see them come by here and go to one of the apts on the … [Read more...]
