Hopping Around My New Store

I'm  linking up with some great hops, including Tell Us Something Good Thursday where you share what's making you happy right now. And what's making me happy today is that I just launched a store front on Facebook using Payvment. Payvment is a free app that let's you have your own store front with shopping cart and everything right on your Facebook page.

I'm excited because this is the first step in my dream of owning my own Rockin' Edgy Boutique. I'm just starting so, there are only a few purses in there, but I'll soon have a whole selection of wicked lovely things. I'd love if you'd check it out here

So, in between finishing up end of year stuff at work and trying to get more items in the store, I'll be playing in the Thursday hops. Won't you come out and play?! ♪Hey ey come out and play♪ (The Offspring)

 

Falling Skies Trailer

I'm excited to share with you the new trailer for Falling Skies the exciting new series from TNT, produced by Steven Spielberg and starring Noah Wylie. The show starts in June 2011 and looks to be full of edge of your seat thrills, and plenty of views of the hot leading man. Yum! The timing of the start of the show should be perfect to fill the void left behind by other shows being in reruns at that time. This one definitely looks like it will be worth watching, and I can't wait to hear the music score!

The official description below was provided by TNT. Enjoy!




FALLING SKIES opens in the chaotic aftermath of an alien attack that has left most of the world completely incapacitated. In the six months since the initial invasion, the few survivors have banded together outside major cities to begin the difficult task of fighting back. Each day is a test of survival as citizen soldiers work to protect the people in their care while also engaging in an insurgency campaign called 2nd Mass against the occupying alien force.

I love shopping. There is just something exciting about finding that perfect item at the perfect price. I especially love shopping for gifts. Well, that is I love shopping for gifts when I haven't put it off to the last minute which, unfortunately happens more often than not. Then, rather than moving in stealth mode quietly stalking my prey, I’m more like a herd of rhinos in a stampede racing to be the first one in the pack to trample it’s prey. It’s not a pretty site!

I have been able to catch some pretty cool deals and have given some really awesome gifts. Like the year I got my mother a mother’s ring. She had gone on and on about how she had bought her mother a ring at 17, so I figured I’d finally give in and get one. With panther like moves, I was on the hunt. I planned it out for months and finally found the perfect one. When mom opened it, she declared it to be the best gift ever.

Then I noticed that she never wears it, so I asked her why. She says doesn’t wear it because she’s afraid she’ll lose it. Yup, that’s how awesome that gift was! She had to have it, but she won’t wear it! So what’s the point?!

Yeah, it’s the thought that counts in gift giving, but I want it to be something useful. What good is a ring, if it’s never, and I mean never, worn?! From now on, I’m giving gift cards because gift cards really are the best gift ever! 

Just ask my kids; this year they got cameras and Ipods, and clothes, and what were they most excited about?! Yup the gift cards! I can't blame them really, because they, too, want the thrill of the hunt for that perfect gift.

Now with the SWAGG App on my phone I can easily buy and send gift cards and cut down on all the last minute hysteria of finding a gift. I can organize all the gift cards I received. And, because I downloaded SWAGG prior to 12/31, their going to give $1 to SU2C, and let's face it, when it come down to it, the gift of life really is the best gift ever!

It's Over, When Will Your Tree Come Down?

Can you believe all the craziness of the Christmas season is behind us?! All the shopping, and planning and baking and decorating; it's all done. 

Except, now you have to undecorate! Ugh! Packing, cleaning up! I don't look forward to it at all! I won't take anything down until after the New Year, because my mother always told me it was bad luck, and I certainly don't want to start the year off with bad luck! Plus, being the procrastinator that I am, it gives me good  reason to put it off.  ♪that's the way uh huh uh huh I like it♪

So, what will you do? will you take your decorations down right away, or leave them up until the new year?
