Kindle Giveaway contest

I'm such a whore for giveaways!  (I know, very nice way to start a blog post!)  BUT SERIOUSLY, I will attempt to win just about anything, because if I win it... its FREE!!!!


So I was reading Stephanie's Blog at My Life In Words, and she posted about a Kindle giveaway, so OF COURSE I had to go look and see what it was all about!  And lo and behold, its actually something I really would like.  I love to read, hate to haul books or having to buy books, because as much as I love them... they tend to gouge the purse that is perpetually empty!


So, I have entered the giveaway contest and was sent this wonderful linky poo that helps to get me more entries, SOOOO if an ebook reader interests you at all, or if you know of someone that REALLY wants one for Christmas... (Namely ME!!! HELLOO!!!)  please jump over there on my link and help me out!


Besides, it would be really cool to win one!

Wordless Wednesday

Are you playing??? If so, link up here....

Aren't they the best looking kids ever!!!

You know they are!!!

;o)

Remembering....

I just was thinking, I wanted to thank all those brave women and men that put their lives oh the line to protect our freedoms and way of life around the world.  Those that do what I personally am not willing to do, to ensure that we have the freedoms that we take for granted.

Home Sweet Home

I'm back from vacation!  Well... I actually got back on the 27th... last week, but staying true to form for when I travel to Colombia... the drastic change in weather kicked my butt and I landed a wonderful welcome home head cold that has lasted until pretty much now.  I am still sniffling, but functional... and what more could I ask for right?

So I'm making this one SUPER short... just wanted to say HI... No I didn't fall off the face of the earth and I didn't decide to just not write ever again.

I'm am still uploading pics to my piece of s@#$t laptop, so I will post pics later today or tomorrow.  Just know that I am completely ready to move my family to Colombia!  No joke.  We had a great time, everything is beautiful, and with the right business... we could live comfortably while the kids get a MUCH better education.

So... I will leave you with that thought.

OH... btw, anyone that reads this... so yes, this is directed at you Mel!  What the hell is going on with Fish World on Facebook??? I can't get my stupid tanks to load and my fish have ALL died for like the 5th time in two weeks.  GRRRRR!

;o)

Did I forget to mention....

I realized yesterday, that I forgot to mention that I am going to Colombia with Carlos and Carlos Sebastian.  Oh and we are leaving on ... WEDNESDAY, October 7th!! 

Unfortunately, Isabel and Tyler aren't coming on this trip because we are going to be gone for 21 days, and I can't pull them out of school for that long.  So they are staying home with their dad, which to them is just as good as any vacation.

I came to the realization today that I am just not that into this trip, and I think its because my babies aren't going to be with me. 

So, I am sitting here thinking that I really should get off my ass and #1 get suitcases and #2 pack those suitcases!  Grrr.... I love to travel but I absolutely hate to pack and unpack.

I guess tomorrow I am going to have to go out and buy some suit cases, the packing isn't a big deal... I always pack like 2 hours before I have to leave for the airport. 

So, I will be posting from Colombia because I will have our laptop, camera and internet.  I will be emailing the kids, and hopefully I'll be able to chat with them online. 

Wish me luck... the last time I traveled with the kids by plane, Tyler was 2 and Isabel was 5... and they did excellent... but Carlos Sebastian is only 2 months old! I'm hoping he won't cry or fuss too much, and that the pressure on the plane doesn't make him uncomfortable.

If you have any suggestions, please let me know.  I think right now I've put more thought into the knitting supplies that I will be taking with me in my carry-on, I gotta make some use of the flight time and layover time!

Saturday 9- Let's Go To Bed

Saturday 9: Let's Go To Bed

To play along, link up with Samantha!

Here are my answers:

1. Has a relationship been affected by how one of you slept?


Yup... I tend to chit chat in my sleep, in both English and Spanish!!!  Of course this didn't negatively affect my relationship, but it makes for great conversation in the morning!  I have named people in my sleep that maybe I shouldn't have.... but come on now... stop evesdropping on me!





2. What side of the bed do you sleep on?


I like to sleep on the right side of the bed, but was on the left for the last year and then switched back! Can I tell you, it is so hard for me to switch sides!  If given the choice, I'd sleep in the middle of the bed.




3. Do you sleep on your back, side, or stomach?


I sleep on my belly. I will be wide awake, as soon as I lay on my belly... that's it.




4. Describe the bedding on your bed right now. How does it change with the seasons? Are you particular about your pillows or linens?


I have the softest bamboo sheets that I bought from Target and a quilt on my bed.  It really doesn't change other than I wash them, or add a super soft velour blanket on the bed in the winter... that's about it.  I am super particular about both pillows and linens.  ESPECIALLY my pillows... once they flatten out or someone else sleeps on MY pillow... that's it, it is no longer comfy to me.  I don't know man... that's just how things are.


5. When sleeping with someone, do you hog the bed, steal covers, or snore?


I've been told I snore... I have yet to hear myself snore, so I'm not buying it.


I tend to keep to my space... and I do like to hog the covers.

6. What do you wear to bed? If it varies, explain.


In the summer, only if its super hot... I'll sleep in the nude.  I generally wear shorts and a tank top to bed though.  If its cold I'll start off in sweats and socks, and end up in shorts and a tank top.




7. No matter how much you love someone, would you rather sleep alone?


I love sleeping with someone, especially my hubby... but my kids will do too!  Although, I have days when I would rather be left alone!  But don't we all???




8. Tell us about a time when you awoke in bed, saw the person next to you and thought, "Oh, no..."


Oh God!  I beleive we have ALL had this moment... mine was due to a drunk dailing and I woke up in the morning and was like why am I not alone???? ohh well... could have been worse, I guess!




9. Tell us about a time when you awoke thinking it was a different day than it was.


I hate to say this happens more often than not to me... but I think the most memorable would have to be I "over slept" and jumped out of bed, got dressed and ran out the door to the car... to realize I wasn't late for work... it was SATURDAY!  WTF!!!

Blogging for booty!

I had to use that title! 

Ok, so I was on Deb's Crafts blog today and she is running this contest/give away of some really nice cotton yarn.  I was looking through her blog and she does her craft for charity, which is a very noble cause... I need to get my butt in gear and start doing more for charities.

So I am posting this so that you can stop by her blog and take a look and give her site some attention.
