sick day

Ouch.

where else do you visit?

I’d love to know what other websites or blogs you check in to/read on a daily or weekly basis. Of those you do read, which are the ones you leave comments on, or participate with in some way?

Look below this post, click “comments” and write away. (You are welcome to email me too.)

Thanks for any feedback!

a little too gung-ho?

Never! How could you ever be too enthusiastic?

Word of the Day for Wednesday, January 26, 2011

gung-ho GUHNG-HO, adjective:

1. Wholeheartedly enthusiastic and loyal; eager; zealous.
2. In a successful manner.

Ok, Ok, maybe there are times when you can get just a tad too gung-ho. Like when I’m ready to rock and roll with a BLR project, as in- the one I told you I’d announce today. I’m sorry to say you will have to be juuust a little more patient with me. In developing the project idea and putting together a full plan of attack, a few thoughts and opinions have come up that I am all about including. Doing that has pushed back the announcement. My goal to post details within a week or so. We shall see!

As Bazooka Joe comics say, “Patience is a virtue, seersucker is a fabric.”

Side note that’s more of a front note: Today is Mom’s 50th birthday. A full day of time spent one on one with My Mamma that I only get to see a couple times a year, trumps all other things/projects that might seem “important” anyway. Priorities. I know you all understand those.

Hold tight, good things will always keep coming in…

Here’s to spending time with people you love!

check back wednesday…

…for new project announcement.

Have I mention we are excited? 🙂

websites for savings

I just read a financial article about getting deals and helpful tips for shopping. Had to pass on Invisible Hand and Kickbucks. Check them out and sign up!

I just love saving money. The more I save the more I can spend on chocolate and gas for road trips.

4 days until…

…the announcement of the next Blue Lollipop Road Project. Exciting. Very, very exciting.

Drumroll please!

write a review, win stuff

Ok my fellow travelers! You know I like to spread the love on bargains and ways to win cool stuff. One of my new favorite websites, Gogobot is having a Hotel Challenge. Check out details here. Just write a review about a hotel you think:

*Is romantic for a lovey dovey getaway. (Clearly Valentines Day is impending)
*Has a killer bar. (You know you have enjoyed a few cocktails and been shakin’ that booty somewhere super fun before: WHOOP WHOOP!)

They are giving away an iPad or iPad Nano. 30 days to enter. Doooeeet and put Gogobot in your bookmarks for sharing and searching travel tips. If you do enter, let me know when you post your romantic hotel spot. I’ll give Dennis Quaid a heads up on where he might want to take me on a hot date for the holiday of love this year.

Where’s your favorite smoochin’ spot?

a reader diner favorite

This one just in from reader Gretchen:

The Village Coal Tower in Upstate, NY.

Thanks Gretchen. Yum, this place looks great! Love those small town family run joints. I’ll have to check it out when I go to the Finger Lakes this summer.

set sail

“”Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed with the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream”

– Mark Twain

Thanks for sending this Deej. We love you.
