UPDATED:  My big fun for entries didn’t pan out, some questions have yet to be answered and the contest ends tomorrow.  Here’s the questions left to answer if you want in, if not, the contest ends at noon without you!

Question 2:  What did I do or how did I celebrate my 40th birthday in a special way?

Question 4:  What is the first website I ever wrote for…..way back in 1999?

Question 5:  What the complete set of initials for my kids, all three, they match the family ..kind of?

Ok, so here we go, tomorrow is a new month, I turn 42 just a few short days later and why not celebrate my birthday with some gifts for you from IntelliGender?  I mean, really, come on, it’s my birthday, let me give you something.

Here is a few goodies for you to know about the various products they have. This is my favorite I think,

Gender Prediction Test:

Can be used as early as 10 weeks of pregnancy. About 82% accurate (real-world results). First morning urine is critical when performing the test. Failing to do so could lead to an inconclusive or inaccurate result.

After all, how many of you were dying to know way before it was possible, this sounds fun.

What’s up for Grabs:

Prize Pack for one winner which includes

1 IntelliGender Gender Prediction Test

1 IntelliCeuticals “Epsi-Prep” Cream

1 IntelliCeuticals “Harmonic Baby Massage Oil”

1 Stuffed Plush Baby Bunny Rattle

Hey you guys, we have a winner.  Amy is the winner of the Removable Wall Graphics and she has been notified along with the sponsor!  Give her a round of applause and check out my new contests!

When I first started using the big world of digital technology for photos, yes, I know, moons ago, I stored photos on Shutterfly. All of my Christmas cards,  baby shower invitations and more were designed on Shutterfly. I’ve done Holiday Cards from Shutterfly the most but I did my Thank You Cards from my first baby shower too.

Of course, we still do mega Party Invitations but man, the more kids you have, the less time you have to keep up with all the special events. I am an only child and I thought it was silly when people talked about how their second born never had as many photos made as the first. *GASP*  How could that be?

Ha, I just posted today asking someone to please return the 24 hours they stole from me because there simply aren’t enough hours in the day. Over the years I’ve become more content with not documenting every  move but I at least have a box that I keep some of their special items in.  Bad mommy, I know.

So, here’s the deal, if you haven’t tried Shutterfly, now is the time.

Here’s what is up for grabs:

3 Promotional codes for 10 free 5 X 7 flat stationery cards, the offer will end on 12/31/2010 and taxes, shipping and handling will apply

How you can win one of those 3 codes:

Ok, so  this is the honest gut-wrenching feelings I have right now.  As my grandmother’s health deteriorates, (she broke her hip on Sunday morning and lie in the floor for almost 6 hours before anyone found her, she fell about 2 AM) and I listen to the mother of a soldier who lost his life in Iraq, I can only wonder what in the world these other folks have on their mind.

People, we had two idiots that can’t be linked to one another but their luggage left one city headed for another and they both left the city headed to another and then both changed their itinerary at the same location to the same location, AND YOU DON’T FIND THAT SUSPICIOUS?

They had things, anything for that matter, but cell phones taped to Pepto Bismol bottles should  get someone’s attention, am I the only one seeing this as a problem?  Let’s be real here!

We have a huge outbreak of salmonella that is being linked to chicken farms (which I grew up around all my life and they stink to the high heavens in the summer heat) with 8 foot piles of manure in them, AND THAT’S NOT A PROBLEM?

Yet, I’m looking over some hot topics from last week and even today for that matter.  Here’s a few that in my opinion don’t hold a candle to terrorist, cell phones and watches duct taped to every day items in checked baggage, soldiers losing their life….come on, work with me here…

1. Lady puts cat in a trash can, now given, that was wrong, I know it was wrong, but people, we’ve found babies, newborns in trash cans, how can this woman putting this cat in a trash can even compare? Yet CNN has aired that no less that 50 times a day for a week.

2.  Paris Hilton has cocaine, albuterol and wrapping papers in her possession. She was in a car pulled over because the smell of marijuana was so strong. She denies that the albuterol or the cocaine was hers but the wrapping papers and ID did belong to her. But, because she went into the bathroom, she will most likely walk because it is an illegal search. Who gives a rat’s a$$ (or chicken’s a$$) for that matter about her?

3.  Girl throwing puppies in the river, some girl is caught throwing puppies in a river.  Anyone here remember who Susan Smith is?  What about the woman who killed her own kids and then drove them off into a river just in the last few weeks?  Anyone?  It’s not that I don’t like animals but come on here.

4. Troy Polamalu has his hair insured for $1 million. Ok, I don’t even know who this is and I refuse to even go read the darn story I don’t care whose hair it is, $1 million green ones?  I bet even Crystal Gail didn’t think of that one.

GRRRRRRR

Hey, you guys!

I’m bogged down, life is busy, work is busy, brain is busy…but I see the light at the end of the tunnel.  So, stick with me, ok? 

In the meantime, enter the many contests I have going on, heck, might as well win something if you are going to hang around here right?
