Disclaimer:I was compensated with a full pass to The Blog Workshop Online Conference, in exchange for blogging about the Conference. However, all thoughts opinions and ideas pertaining to conference excitement ,etc are honest and my own! So I am becoming somewhat of a Blogging Conference Maven! I attended my first online conference and real life conference last year! I have already attended 1 online conference this year and I have Bloggy bootcamp coming up next month. Imagine my surprise to find out there is yet ANOTHER online conference that is going on this year called The Blog Workshop! I REALLY REALLY like the idea of online blog conferences because you don't have to leave home! You can be as socially awkward as I am, and it doesn't matter because no one knows! Also, you don't get wore out from session hoping and trying to be here there and everywhere at one time! You save a lot of money from not having to travel and eat out and get hotel rooms and all that as well. I am … [Read more...]
Bike night was disappointing..
So Bike night was a HUGE disappointment last night! David dropped me off and went to get his dad and brother (his dad has the wheel chair, so there was no way we could all fit at one time) The first thing that happens is this gal gets an attitude with me about the beer is $2 A CAN! I am like excuse me? It was only 1.50 last year and It said on your FB page it would be 1.75? So anyways that just set it off for me. I don't know why I even bothered getting pretty: Needless to say I only bought one beer, and David only bought one. We ended up leaving pretty early and I went to the grocery store and bought an 18 pack for like 13 bucks! I had only took out 20 bucks, and I still had 3 bucks left over! We ended up going to subway and getting one of the bbq chicken subs to share (david and I ) because I was starved! We went and hung out at his dads for a little while, then came home. This morning david ended up oversleeping a little bit ...so that sucked. Right now it is so … [Read more...]
Monday & Allergies. … Welcome to my world!
Waves! How is it going on monday? here in my world it is cloudy and my allergies are insane! Especially my throat! I spent most of the afternoon in bed sleeping trying to make myself feel better. UGH! I am also out of kleenex until david can get home with some. Love using napkins and TP.. NOT! As far as the weekend went it was pretty chill. I busted into my "trouble" money on saturday for the simple fact we haven't been able to get out and do anything in so many weeks I thought we were going to go insane. Really all we did was go to eat and to a couple of random stores but it was nice to be able to go out and be able to get a few things. I ended up getting a Blogging for Dummies book for 6 bucks! Ha ha. Who knows, I might learn something. David also got me an oscar the grouch necklace that was on clearance at walmart! I love oscar, and then with being a trash can blogger ..well it was too perfect! I didn't end up going to my mom and dads this weekend (2nd one in a row) … [Read more...]
REVIEW:Groovebook App & Photobook
You know how I really like pictures, and I always say how I hate how people just hoard them up on Facebook/their phone/etc and they don’t seem to get printed and shared in quite the same way that pictures used to. Well, I have found a new way to fix at least one of those “issues”! I recently got the chance to review a app with a perk: a real photobook! Enter my new little friend, groovebook! Groovebook is an app for android or iphone that allows you to get a 4x6 photobook of 100 pictures a month from your phone! You can find the app in the play store or app store, depending on which device you have. The book is only $2.99 which is basically the price of shipping! I don't know anywhere else to get 100 pics printed and shipped that cheap!The app is pretty self-explanatory to use, you just have to sign up for an account, and go from there. It will ask you for credit /debit card info but that is for later on . Basically If you decide you don’t want a book for a month it is a … [Read more...]

this cat is crazy
How is it going everyone? The weekend was a little meh, but that is most of my weekends lol. Friday I ended up cleaning out our freezers/pantry and fridge... Saturday and Sunday were just sleeping/tv/what not...nothing great and exciting by any means. I don't know if that is a bad thing or not though! Sunday night was a very restless night for me...I keep having this weird feeling that something bad is going to happen/or someone I know is just really having a rough time /something of those sorts. I have been having that feeling a lot lately. I just wish I knew why...I also had very crazy dreams when I did sleep so I was very restless and yeah..it sucked .. I spent yesterday doing a few trash can university sessions and cleaning up some of the old JUNK on this site. I can't believe how much junky posts I had accumulated on here in almost 3 years. I am almost through though thankfully. I just hate to think about working on grits-reviews ugh! That site is always a hot mess.I … [Read more...]
