Terry's Fabrics-Window Blinds

Have you ever gone shopping for window blinds? If you have, it can be a very unpleasant experience. It's tough to browse through all of the window blinds in all of the stores and find the ones that are perfect for each room of your home. I know that my wife and I recently had to do this when we moved and did not enjoy it much. If we were to do it all over again...we would definitely check out Terry's Fabrics...because they offer a great selection on all types of window blinds and great, discounted prices!! They offer neat Roller Blinds, roman blinds, venetian blinds, and so much more! No matter what your taste or style...you're sure to find something you like on this site. Check them out today. I am being paid for this post.

The weekend is here!

This weekend is Memorial Weekend. I'm really excited because that not only means that we get to spend time with family and on the lake...but I also don't have to work on Monday!! Don't get me wrong...I really love my job...but haven't had a day off in quite some time and am looking forward to it. :) I think I may even take some time off today so I can get home and spend as much of this weekend with my wonderful wife as possible! She does so much around the house, and I'd like to be able to go home early and help her out so we can enjoy or weekend and not worry about work!

PayPerPost Direct

When I logged in to my PPP account today, I noticed something new right away. Up at the top, the tab that was titled "PPP Affiliates", was now titled "PPP Tools". This made me excited! Before even opening up the tab, and knew that PPP was up to something that was going to give Posties like myself even more opportunities to make money. That's usually what happens when there is a change to this tab. So I clicked on the tab and read up about their launch of PPP Direct! What a fabulous idea!! PPP is now offering a widget that bloggers can put on their site, making it possible for advertisers to contact them about doing a post for them. That's right...a new way to get paid to blog. It's a great way for bloggers and advertisers to discuss the terms and conditions of the offer and do it aside from the normal PayPerPost layout. What I love up this most is PayPerPost's continued determination to do what's best for the blogger. I've heard of so many other companies who charge, sometimes almost as much as the advertiser is paying you, to use a service similar to this. Not PPP though! They want their posties to make the bulk of the money that we earn and that's why they only take 10%. 5 % of this is actually to pay the fees for payout transactions, like PayPal. This is definitely a company that I like working for...as they are always looking out for the best interest of the Posties, and they are always creating new ways to help connect us with advertisers and others who can give us more opportunities to make money. Great work PPP!! I am being paid for this post.

More Rain

It's still raining here! Although I was happy to see some rain in the forecast so that our lawn would begin to grow...I never really expecting all of this rain that we've been getting. I think it's been raining for a couple days straight now. It has actually rained so much that there is rain standing in our lawn. In fact, the lady next door was unhappy because the rain standing in our lawn was leaking into her basement?!? We felt bad about that, but there's not too much we can do. Hopefully it will clear up soon...especially by this weekend for all of the boating events.:) Bring on the sun...

Father's Day

Well, Mother's Day has already passed us by, and now Father's Day will be here before we know it. I absolutely love these holidays, as they are a great time to let parents know exactly how much they mean to you. I really like the gift buying part as well, as there are so many different things out there to choose from. A great place to shop for Father's Day Gifts is DelightfulDeliveries.com. They offer a great variety of gifts...so you're sure to find something that suits your dad perfectly. They offer things like Baked goods, Cigar of the Month, Hot Sauce/Salsa baskets, gourmet popcorn, fine meats and SOOO much more! Check them out and find that perfect gift for your dad this Father's Day. This is a paid post.

Tests

I spent much of my night last night studying for some tests I have to take for part of my training at work. Although I know it's something that I have to do...it's hard when it takes up much of my night...because I really enjoy spending it with my wife!! I guess I just need to try and get the tests taken so that it will be behind me.

Spa Breaks

I recently came across a great site that I'm very excited to share with my wife!! This site offer spa breaks...something she would absolutely LOVE! A spa break would be so wonderful...especially for her who does so much. How relaxing to unwind after a busy week. There are all kinds of packages to choose from, at great prices and wonderful accommodations. I mean Spa Breaks & Luxury Apartments, what more could you ask for!! I've never personally been to a spa, and neither has my wife, but I know she'd absolutely love the chance to get away and relax. It would be a perfect thing for her and her mom to do together...as her mom is also very busy during the week and deserves a nice retreat like a spa break. I'm definitely going to have to share JMP travel with her.

Memorial Weekend

I totally forgot that it was Memorial Weekend this weekend! I was very excited to find this out when my Grandpa told me today. It will be wonderful to have the day off and get the chance to spend it with Jenna and family. I think we may go boating with my family and her parents and enjoy the weather. I can't wait!

Credit Card Offers

Credit cards can be a very dangerous thing, especially for young people who need money and have instant access to all kinds of credit card offers. When I was in college I remember receiving offers in the mail almost every day for some kind of credit card. Thankfully I never took advantage of any of them, because in the fine print they weren't all that they were cracked up to be. They had high interest rates, etc. Although I did not take any of these offers, I know that there are plenty of people out there who do. If you're interested in finding the right credit card, check out this article that I found. I also recommend that you check out the Card Guide site, where you can make credit card comparisons on best buy credit cards, finding out the specific details about each one. If you find one that's right for you, it's very easy to sign up and apply right online. Look into it today and see what you think. THis is a paid post.

Weekends are Great

I really enjoy having my weekends off now, because I get to spend time with Jen and I'm able to get a lot of the things done that I'm not able to get done during the week. This weekend was great...I got the car washed which was much needed. Jen and I also got some things moved around in the house and started to get the baby room set which was so much fun! It's really starting to make everything feel so real!:) I'm so excited...and can't wait for October!!

Seduce a Celebrity

If you haven't heard of the actress Mirelly Taylor, she's appeared in movies like Kiss Me Again and Serving Sara. She's also been in television shows like Las Vegas, Punk'd and Numbers. Even if you were familiar with Ms. Taylor, you may not have known that she is on one of the most unique online reality dating shows one could find. Seduce a Celeb is a new series on GoFish.com that will run over the next 14 weeks. Contestants are encouraged to submit their videos for a chance to win a date with a celebrity...one of which is Mirelly Taylor. It's quite the neat idea, and one I would have never thought of. These creators are quite brilliant if you ask me.

I really think that contestants should participate in this contest because it's one that you won't find anywhere else. It's inclusive of anyone who wants to submit a video, and your chances are even better of winning if you submit a number of them. I think it's a great idea, and wonderful dating show to be a part of. Not only is it great that someone will get a date with a celebrity, but they have the chance to show their creative side in the video submissions they create. Check it out today and see if this is something you'd enjoy becoming a part of. You can even watch the Free videos at GoFish.com. This is a paid post.

Gas Prices

I've been out and about the past few weekends, and noticed the extremely high gas prices. In fact, they're so high that I've heard many people complaining about them. Many people are not happy that gas is reaching three dollars a gallon, and in some places more than that. It's costing Americans a lot of money to fill their cars..and some are getting quite upset. There was a message from government statistics though that states that the high gas prices are not stopping most Americans from traveling as they normally would. This message did warn though, that we can expect to see gas prices up to four dollars in some of the bigger cities as we head into summer.
Hopefully it won't go up much more...gas is a necessity, but is going to become unaffordable to many.

This program also makes it easier to generate leads for your business. Does this sound like something your business could use?? If so, then do I have some good news for you! This direct e-mail marketing solution can be tried out at no cost! That's right, it's FREE to try. See what you think today. I am being paid for this post.

Tuesday Night TV

Tonight my wife and I will be watching one of our favorite shows...American Idol. We're really anxious to see who's going to get voted off on Wednesday. I'm a little torn because I think all three contestants are so good. I really think that it will be the two girls...but I guess we'll just have to wait and see. We also get to see House which is another one of our favorite shows. It's fun to have these shows that we can watch together.

King of Queens

My wife and I have always been HUGE fans of the television show "King of Queens". We have watched all the new ones and even all the reruns every night at supper time! We were so looking forward to this new season, especially the season finale. Both of us got busy last night though and totally forgot that last night it was on for two hours and not just the regular half hour! We were SO bummed to find out that we only caught the last half hour of the show...and what a touching one it was. I hope that they replay the finale soon so we can watch it.

Yeah for PPP

Lately I have not been getting the number of opportunities that I used to with PPP. I'm not sure if there just aren't the advertisers there right now...or if most of them are wanting blogs with higher pageranks. Whatever the reason, I was starting to wonder when all of the posts would begin to show up again. I was pleased to see that today they are putting one on right after the other!! I have been lucky enough to grab and few and this makes me VERY happy! Keep it up PPP.

The Bug Movie

Since I work most of the time, I rarely get the chance to catch up on the latest movies that are coming out. Although I am still very busy, one particular movie recently caught my eye. The bug movie is a new movie presented by Lionsgate Films. It stars Ashley Judd, which also caught my attention, as she is a very well known and respected actress. When I first heard the title, I had no idea what the movie was going to be about. As I began to read more about it and was introduced to two of the posters used to promote this movie, one word came to mind "mysterious"! I'm generally not into the "mysterious" horror films, but my wife always gets me to go to most movies like this. I usually end up enjoying them, especially those that are intense and thrilling. That's what this movie seems to offer it's viewers. I get this impression just by looking at the two posters that I've included in this post. I like the posters because they make me want to know more about this movie and what it is all about. They're really unique and will definitely bring people to this movie when it comes out. I'm looking forward to going to this movie, mainly because I like Ashley Judd as an actress, and because I think the posters are very enticing. I'm really curious to know what the bug movie will be all about and what excitement and thrill it will bring to the screen. This is a paid post.

Paris Hilton Goes to Jail??

Well, I'm usually not one to write a lot about what's happening in the news...but this really caught my attention. So much, that I actually called my wife and told her when I heard it on television. Paris Hilton has always kind of seemed like the type of person who thinks she is above the law. I don't really appreciate people like this, especially those who are stars and think that they have something over everyone, just because they have money. I was actually quite pleased to hear that she was going to jail, not because I have anything against her, but because she needs to serve her time for the things she's done like any person would. People are upset that she's not at least getting the opportunity to stay in a "nicer" jail than normal people, and I for one disagree with this dispute. I think that she should have to serve her jail sentence in a normal jail like anyone else would. I know there are many sides and opinions to this story, but the bottom line is that everyone should be treated the same way when it comes to the law. The law is in place for a reason, if someone is not following it (no matter who they are), they should be punished.

Coupon Codes at Circuit City

For those who enjoy shopping online...you can now do so and save lots of money by using online coupon codes at Coupon Chief. I enjoy this great coupon site so much because they offer coupons to popular shopping places like Target, Best Buy, Office Depot, and so many more! My all time favorite place to shop using coupon codes is Circuit City because I absolutely love electronics. Ever since Jenna and I moved out of a big city, we don't have all the stores we love around us, that's why shopping online is so great...especially when we are able to use coupon codes to save us lots of money! This is a paid post.

Great Weekend

It was so great to have the weekend to spend with family! I have been working a lot lately with it being spring and the busy season. Although I really enjoy my job...having some time to spend with family was great! I hadn't really spent any time with them since before the busy season so it was great to get away and help them celebrate my brother in-laws graduation from college!

HDTV

Well, I've been sitting here most of the day waiting for one of these HDTV opportunities from PPP but didn't catch the two that they've put out there so far. I guess this opportunity lasts until tomorrow at noon...so hopefully tomorrow I will catch one of the last two that they put out. It would be so great to get this opportunity, as I would absolutely love to have an HDTV. We'll see I guess.
