Double Trouble Book Review

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

I received these book from Litfuse Publicity to review for the blog. Last year, I read my first book by Susan May Warren and reviewed it here–The Great Christmas Bowl.
I enjoy her writing style and looked forward to reviewing her new mystery series about PJ Sugar.
PJ who refuses to reveal her real name seems prone [...]

Swagbucks

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

I mentioned Swagbucks the other day. Then I got an email from them with an exciting promotion.
Today is their 2nd birthday and they have done a huge revamp of their system. Don’t be shocked if you log in and see you have a ton of bucks. They’ve changed the value of the bucks as well [...]

Lay Off Day #1

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

Lee went to the job center today to see what he could apply for. He said it’s pretty slim pickin’s out there. His record makes finding a job difficult and while we know it’s his own fault, it sure makes job hunting very discouraging.

Ok, Lord, you must have a plan! Help me to trust you!

Poll

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

I haven’t run a poll for ages.
James and I were drinking tea last night and he asked how many times can you use a tea bag?
I said, I almost always use it once, but if I do save them I use 2 tea bags to make another cup of tea and it’s usually just fine.
So [...]
