Soaps!

Hello Soap-ers, I'm not talking about getting clean, here, I'm talking about soap operas!!! I'm really pleased to tell you all about a new soap opera site. Soap Opera News is a very young website (only 5-6 months old) but already growing in leaps and bounds. They have tons of loyal fans, and are looking for even more exposure. I think their site is really well laid out and easy to navigate, and I always learn so much about what happened in a particular soap opera, in case I missed it on TV. I would love if they did a feature sometime about the history of soap operas and how they came to be. I think it would be really interesting to a lot of fans who love soaps, but don't really know why. Maybe that can be their next initiative. Anyway, I hope you check out their site--especially if you're a die-hard soaps fan. Trust me, you'll be so glad you did. Enjoy! Tanya Thank you for reading, this has been a sponsored post.

Weigh in

Hello all, Well I just weighed in at 20 pounds less than I was when I started this weight loss journey. I'm so pleased with myself. A combination of diet, exercise, and chronicling my life on this blog have been the main contributing factors, and I'm so happy I took the initiative. Tanya

OS Commerce Templates

Hello There, If you're interested in osCommerce templates , then this is the post for you. I found a great site called oscommercecafe, and they allow customers to sign on to their site for a membership of anywhere between three months and one year, depending on your needs, and during that period, you have full access to their impressive array of oscommerce templates. On their site, they currently have 70, and if anything, they'll only add more during your time as their customer. And even if they didn't, you'd still be fine because you can always use any of the 70 they currently have available. It's really a win win situation. I was so interested in learning more about these templates, that I looked a bit into the history of the company, which you can read about on their website. It turns out that their business was set-up by Myles O'Reilly in March 2006, so it's actually quite a new company, but it's really doing well and shows a lot of promise for

PayPerPost

Hello everyone, I just wanted to remind you that PayPerPost is a really great opportunity if you need to bring in some extra money on the side. Since my box making job wasn't bringing in enough money, I am so glad I can live comfortably thanks to the supplement afforded by PayPerPost. Tanya

Audio Resume

Hi there everyone, Are you a job seeker? If so, then this is the post for you. Audio Resume is a unique product that lets job seekers verbally express their credentials and professional aspirations. I just want to tell you all about this great new company called Audio Resume, and you need to see how it works for yourself.

Support system

Hello there, Thanks so much for your support throughout my weight loss journey. Since I'm not really from this area, it's been hard to have a constant family/friends support system, because they are always a phone call away. So, I just wanted to let you know, that they support you've offered through your comments and advice has been invaluable. Thanks again readers, Tanya

Another Puzzle Piece

Image
Hello All, As you have probably noticed, I've been very active in getting together as many puzzle pieces as I can for all of you. Check my previous posts for others. Here, I am happy to present piece number 43, brought to you on behalf of PayPerPost and HP camera, which offers Digital Photo Printing . The post is below: Check out PayPerPost to learn all about Michelle, a very lucky Postie, who was awarded a new HP Photosmart M527 digital camera through a previous PPP Opportunity. You can see lots of the pictures she took when you visit PayPerPost and try to assemble the puzzle. And if you haven't heard about this already there is TONS of incentive to assemble this puzzle---how about 1000 dollar bills of incentive? Yes, that's right, you'll get 1000 dollars if you're the first to put all the pieces together. So best of luck to you all. Tanya Thanks for reading this post, brought to you by HP

Salad

Hello there, Today, I think I will have a nice salad for lunch--usually in the winter I only crave comfort foods, but they can be really high in calories. Today, I am box-assembling on one of the top floors of the building, so the sun is shining and I'm in the mood for some nice vegetables. Tanya

Puzzle Piece 13

Image
Hello there, Above you will see Puzzle Piece 13 for the newest PayPerPost contest! I'm really happy to host piece number 13 because that's Tina's favorite number, so she'll be really happy. As you may already know, Michelle, a very lucky Postie, was awarded a new HP Photosmart M527 digital camera through a previous PPP Opportunity. She has graciously donated her likeness via her photos to the newest Photo Puzzle. All of these photos were taken with her brand new HP Camera. HP is great, and just so you know they have Digital Photo Printing . So collect the puzzle pieces and assemble the puzzle--you'll get 1000 if you're the first to do it. There are 48 pieces, so good luck! Tanya Thank you for reading, HP sponsored this post

Little Miss Sunshine

Have you all seen Little Miss Sunshine? I recently watched it with all of my friends and thought it was the best movie I'd seen in a very long time. It was heart warming, but also thought provoking. If you're interested, make sure you check it out! Tanya

Auto Direct

Image
Hello there, I would like to tell you all about a great site I found called Auto Direct . I recently was looking around at the new auto sites out there, and this was by far in the top 10% of all the auto sites I could find. They have a broad selection of different products and they are all very reasonably priced. Moreover, the site is so easy to navigate, your grandmother could do it. And all in all, their guarantee, which happens to be 110% for 30 days, is unthinkable and unbeatable. It means that if you're unsure about whether you should purchase from Auto Direct or from one of your competitors, the decision is made for you, because Auto Direct promises the lowest price as compared to other businesses. I love that about them the best! If that wasn't enough, they offer a 24/7 phone support in case you have any questions or concerns with your new purchase. You can feel safe working with Auto Direct. They bring great prices and great service together for a seamless shopp

Dunkin Donuts

Hello all, I know that this isn't copacetic with my weight loss journey, but Tina and I went out to Dunkin Donuts last night, and since it was a good deal, we bought a dozen donuts instead of one each. Luckily, we didn't eat them all ourselves, but the remaining ones I froze, so I have a freezer full of donuts. I better watch out. Tanya

HP Photosmart

Image
Hello all, As you all know, I am an avid user of PayPerPost, and so I wanted to tell you all about Michelle. She's another Postie, as they're called, but she is no ordinary Postie. She was one of only a few to be awarded a new HP Photosmart M527 digital camera through a previous PayPerPost Opportunity. I'm sure you're jealous right? But now PayPerPost is using her pictures that she took with her new hp camera in their next contest--a puzzle! And if you're interested in these cameras, check out more at Digital Photography Tips . In this post is a puzzle piece--one of 48--and if you can find all the puzzle pieces first and assemble the puzzle, then you'll win a GRAND!! Nice. So happy searching, and good luck.

The most interesting post I ever wrote

Hello there, I hope you're having a nice weekend already. Today I am visiting some old friends, so I am really excited to see them. I'm sure it'll be a great weekend. Enjoy, Tanya

Soap Opera

As I was saying in a previous post, I was interested in starting a soap opera watching club. At first I thought I would check out Days of our live or the Young and the Restless, but now I think All my Children is the one I'll pursue, and here's why: It turns out that there is a great site that covers All My Children. It's really well laid out and easy for even the novice to navigate, and before you know it, you'll know all about that soap. You really cannot lose with the All My Children Spoilers . But look out, because as the name suggests, this site will spoil all the episodes of All My Children that you have yet to see. So if you don't want to know the clinch of every season, then watch out for this site--read with care. But in general, I thought the site was awesome, because a lot of times, soaps go really slowly, and this way we can progress through the boring things quickly by just reading the synopses. So make sure you check it out, you'll be glad yo

Saw III

I just watched Saw III and it was yet another totally scary saw movie with an obvious opportunity for continuance...even though the theme is the same every time, they never cease to gross me out. This time they did the same kind of gross games, but it turns out that the main characters both died and they had to pass the torch to others, and they definitely made it so that there will be an opening for another one...Saw is trying to become the type of movie that has tons of sequels, each with the same exact theme. I think I'll be done watching it now. Yuck, Tanya

Halfway

Image
Hello there, I would like to tell you this interesting story... I heard about this guy, a marketing speaker , who renamed Halfway, Oregon to Half.com, Oregon. It didn't make any sense to me either, until I read the book that he wrote about how did it and the book also happens to talk all about Buzzmarketing. Now that guy is on the professional speaker circuit now, I hear he's really doing well for himself. If you want to learn more...check out the following link: http://www.buzzmarketing.com/speaking.php Tanya Thanks for reading, this has been a sponsored post.

Joke

This may be the worst joke I ever read One day three guys were driving in the middle of nowhere when their car broke down. They got out and looked around at their surroundings. Finally, the first guy says, "I'm gonna go look for some food." The other two guys say, "Why?". "So we can eat of course." says the first guy. Once the first guy comes back the second guy says, "I'm going to go get some water". "Why" asked the other two. "So we can drink it if we get thirsty of course". Once the second guy gets back the third guy goes and tears off the car door. "Whats that for?" asked the other two. " In case we get hot we can roll down the window."

Weight Gain

I'm really upset, because it appears that I actually GAINED some weight. This is supposed to be a weight loss journey, so what am I doing wrong??! Tina says she thinks it's just water weight, but Suice says it might be the cookies I had over the holiday season. Either way, I need to get rid of it! Any advice? Tanya

Belisi's Fashion Source

Image
Hi there, I love telling you things about Belisi , my favorite fashion resource. They are a relatively new company with a great new site, and I think it's really important that others are clued into the Belisi campaign. They are really a wonderful company that you should make sure you check out if you have any interest in fashion. They really are the definition of gurus and you probably can't get any better information than you can get from the helpful and easy-to-navigate Belisi website. And in case you were wondering how Belisi has such good fashion taste, I was able to find out who their source is! The fashion designer, Palm Beach style extrodinare Peter Belisi. So check out his new blog, Being Belisi, which gives all you busy women on-the-go and jet-setting guys a cheat sheet to all that is hip and high-end. Being Belisi is designed for people like you who want to keep your finger on the pulse of Hollywood happenings and runway rundowns without having to do the dialing.

Funny Joke

"When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300°C. The Russians used a pencil."

Tradeshow Booths

Hello there, I was interested in making a trade show booth, and I didn't know how to approach it, so I checked out the internet. Lo and behold, I was able to find some great Tradeshow Displays and Booths online! So if you're like me, and you're looking for someone that manufactures and distributes trade show booths across the nation, then check out the ExhibitJet website. You'll be glad you did, I guarantee it! Thanks for reading, this has been a sponsored post. Tanya

Happy Wednesday

Hi there, I think Tina and I will go out for coffee this evening, because she is going through a break up and she really needs someone to talk to. I'm always there for my friends, no matter how busy I am, because I know that when I need them, they'll be there for me too. Tanya

How it Started

Image
Hi there, I'm sure you've seen the above picture on my blog already, and it's probably all over the blogosphere. It's one of the images used by Belisi to promote their fashion campaign. It's all about great fashion for men, so they can stop being clueless about dressing themselves and learn how women want them to look. It's also about women being the divas they should be. Anyway, I was interested in learning how Belisi got started as a company. So here is my gues for Belisi - How it Started . The people who are the think tank behind the Belisi campaign must be fashionistas themselves. I picture them as some up and coming designers who in addition to wanting their top of the line fashion to be picked up, also have an interested in making upper middle class men look nicer than they do already. And the use of the internet is a great way to promote their idea for male fashion and female diva-ness! However Belisi started, I'm glad they did, because I have a

Coffee as a gift

What are the statistics on people who like or don't like coffee? I intend on getting coffee for my boss as a Valentine's Day gift, and I'm not sure if she likes flavored coffee. I was hoping for a population estimate, so I can guess what my chances are. I don't want to ask her, because I'm afraid she'll assume it's for her Vday gift! Tanya

Valentines Day

Image
Hello All, If you have a Valentine this Valentine's Day season, then you might be interested in this post! I found a site that sells lingerie, and it turns out that they are promoting their company by offering a free gift with every purchase ! They especially recommend Sexy Lingerie Coupons , but they offer tons of purchases. Keep in mind that it's already the end of January, and Valentines Day is a few short weeks away. In addition, the free gift with purchase offer is only available for a limited time, so make your purchases as soon as you can. My friend Tina always gets lingerie from her aunt for Valentine's Day, and I personally think it's kind of weird. Maybe this year, she can buy some for herself, and give her aunt the free gift!

Winter

Hi there, I really cannot believe it's almost the end of January. 2007 is going by really fast! I hope everyone out there in the blog-o-sphere is doing well, and isn't suffering from SAD. Take care, everyone, spring is just around the corner! Tanya

Skyline GT-R

Hey Potential Car Buyers, If you're a car lover like me, then you know that the Skyline is more than a car--much more! If you are looking for others who feel them same way, then you've come to the right place, because I found a site that has Skyline GT-R forums where you can talk about Skylines to your hearts content! Enjoy your new forum--I'm sure you'll be glad you checked it out! Tanya Thank you for reading, this has been a sponsored post.

Soap Opera

Hi there, I was thinking that I would start watching a soap opera, because my friends are really into some of them, and they talk about them all the time and I never have anything to say. Would you suggest any particular one? I'm thinking Days of our Lives, but I'm open to ideas! Tanya

Dating out of your league

Image
Hello There, If you think that you like someone that is really out of your league, then how do you go about asking them on a date? You might think it's impossible, but you really can date out of your league, and Belisi is here, and now Belisi tells men how to use fashion to date 'out of your league'. ! So make sure all you males out there check them out, because a fashion conscious man is really much more capable of confidently asking a woman out than a many who dresses like a slob and has no fashion sense whatsoever. Good luck out there in the dating world, I hope it goes well for you! Thank you for reading, this has been a sponsored post. Tanya

Weight loss

Since this is my weight loss journey, I should again discuss how I'm doing at losing the weight and keeping it off. I hadn't done anything specific, like Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig, I just started exercising and watching what I ate, but I don't really have a plan for the long term. I do feel a lot better now that I've lost almost 30 pounds, and I'm still losing weight as it is, so maybe the motivation of that will keep me going... Tanya

Relaxing Yoga

Hello There, Like I was saying in my previous post, the stresses of relocating--or even thinking about it--are HUGE. So it's so great that I found this site for Yoga Retreats because I think it'll really help me out a lot when I'm getting too worried about my future. At All Stays, you can take a vacation where you're not running around trying to take in all the attractions, but really relaxing.

A Nice Vacation

Hi All, Like I was saying, Norfolk might be a great place to visit, but I am really getting mixed messages about whether that would be a good place to live. I am considering relocating, and I am already getting a headache from all the things one needs to consider. I can't imagine if I was married and had to worry about the life of another as well as myself. Tanya

Rakeback

Image
Hello there, As I was just writing about online poker, I thought I would look through some sites to see if I can futher my poker skills online. Well, I hit the jackpot and found RakeBreakers. If you've never heard of them, Rakebreakers is an online poker rakeback directory that allows current customers of rakeback affiliates the opportunity to rate the services provided by their affiliate on a scale of 1-10, including timely payment, customer service and the overall experience as a whole. As a result, site visitors are able to make a more-informed decision before selecting a poker rakeback provider. It's so awesome that I found this site because there are tons of other sites that are subpar, and this one is really the absolute best of them all. I actually was able to find a comprehensive list of other sites, which included rakerebatereview.com and rakereport.net, neither of which rivalled the navigatability or accuracy of informaiton on the Rakebreakers site. If you're

New York Mortgages?!

Image
Hi there, Well, like I've said, I am interested in getting a new house, and I've never owned a house before, so this is a big step. Since I recently began subscribing to the New York Times, I checked whether houses in NYC would be in my price range, and my mouth dropped open. Holy moly, I could not believe how expensive these homes were! Nice ones were upwards of 7 million dollars. I could not imagine spending that much money on a home. If you are well off enough, though, and if you are interested in purchasing a home near the NYC culture, then you'll be well suited to go to PersonalHomeLoanMortgages.com, where you can learn everything possible about Mortgage , and New York Mortgage as well as its close neighbor New Jersey Mortgage . So make sure you check out their site. You'll be glad you did. Thanks for reading, this has been a sponsored post. Tanya

Moving or Staying?

Hello there, I think that I'll be looking at real estate sooner rather than later because I learned that it's really a great investment to purchase a starter home rather than continually throwing your money away for rent. It also appears to be a boon for your taxes. Of course, it's difficult being a home owner because any problem cannot just be directed to a landlord.... Any advice? Tanya

Wirefly is the best!

Image
As I've been saying, I really need a new cell phone , which is why I am so absolutely thankful that there is a site like wirefly available for me when I need them. Wirefly has a great comprehensive list of all their phones, including a few of the Motorola RAZR models, which are hands down the coolest, sleekest phones on the market today. I have never had a RAZR personally, but I will attest to my coolest friends having them and talking about how absolutely wonderful they hold up and how happy they are that they chose the RAZR.

Hello Fellow Cell Phone Users, If you’re at all in touch with the new generation, then you know that cell phones are king. And did you know that Wirefly announces the Top 10 cell phones of 2006 ??? It’s awesome because Wirefly is the absolute authority when it comes to cell phones—I personally think they are even better than Consumer Reports—so you know that you can really trust what they have to say. And…drumroll please…Wirefly has named the Motorola RAZR as the number one cell phone. Are you surprised? I certainly am not. Not only is the RAZR really cool from an aesthetic standpoint—sleek and stylish--, it’s also got great features and everything you could ever want in a cell phone. So if you’re thinking of getting yourself a new phone, get a RAZR—you’ll be glad you did. Thanks for reading, this has been a sponsored post. Tanya

Sharp by Design

I just came across this great website called Belisi's Sharp by Design Blog . It’s got great advice about fashion, so if you’re interested in the fashion world, you really cannot afford to miss this site! Everyone knows that clothes and accessories—from Italian leather lace-ups to premium denim to cashmere coats and French cuff button-downs—send a powerful message of success and confidence. If you are dressed to impress, you can command a room as soon as you walk into it. Styles, fabrics and patterns change with the seasons; however, there are many fashion benchmarks every man should commit to memory, such as how to properly tie a tie, fold a pocket square, and buy and wear a suit. As a woman, I can say with confidence that a well dressed man is noticed in the personal world and in the business world, and it may be more important than you think. If you’ve been inadvertently neglecting your personal hygiene, then Sharp by Design is to the rescue. Sharp by Design is a blog for the

Hi There, Does anyone have any ideas as to how to break into the fashion industry? I have a portfolio of my drawings, but the problem is that I don't have any formal training.

AdsBay Web

Hello Readers, Recently, I was contacted by an advertiser who wanted to post a few links on my blog. He asked me what price I was hosting links for, and to be honest, I had no idea what to tell him.

Gerald Ford

I was very surprised to find out that there was no mail on the funeral day of Ford. And what was even more surprising was that today, the mailman didn't come until very late in the day, and he delivered tons of incorrect mail to me. I have a feeling that they are backed up and having trouble. Is anyone else experiencing similar difficulties with their mail? Plus, I thought that the mail carrier couldn't have more than 2 days off in the same week. Am I incorrect? Tanya

Honda S2000

Image
Greetings Car Buyers, I have been a loyal Honda fan ever since we got our 1998 Civic years and years ago. Even though it's now just an alternate car when we go into the city, it still handles so well and is really reliable. There's never been a time when I worried about it breaking down or having trouble handling the bad winter weather. Now the Honda S2000 is out, and I'm really looking forward to getting one whenever I rack up enough cash! I've heard from friends who have the S2000 that it gets great gas mileage--and wouldn't you expect that from a Honda?--and that it is really a smooth ride. In fact, I drove in one with a friend recently, and was amazed at it's shock absorption, quiet gear shifting, and general smoothness. So if you're in the market for a new car, consider a Honda S2000. It really will change the way you look at driving. These car are capable of taking charge on the road, on the track, or even chilling in your driveway. And check out

Google's Cache

Boise!

Hi there everyone, When thinking about other great ways to trim your finances over the long term, buying—as opposed to renting—a home comes to mind. But that’s only a good idea if you plan on staying in one house for a length of time, because you won’t make much money on an immediate resale. So when you choose a place to move and purchase a house, you need to be sure you’re moving somewhere pleasant. I didn't realize this before, but it turns out that Boise, Idaho is really a great place to live. Beautiful weather, kind people, and great opportunities. I just wanted to let you all know about this great destination, if any of you are thinking about moving somewhere with great job prospects where you can settle down and grow old. Consider Boise! And actually, other people are, because statistics show that there is a great transition to the Boise area, and when asked, people say they chose Boise because of the quality of life, and the great schools and people. Are you looking f

Finances

Another way to help your personal finances is to cut out the little purchases that are not at all necessities and that you don't even really "notice" you are buying. Like your morning coffee, for instance. I once read that if people are buying coffees at Starbucks, they might be spending up to 4 dollars/day just on that. I was thinking about it, and that's a TON of money that you can save, if you just brew your own coffee each morning. If you're busy, you can even put it into a disposable coffee cup and take it on the road--you can get 500 for about $30 at Sams Club. Plus, it'll save you time that you'd normally be wasting in line at Starbucks! Tanya

Refinancing after the holidays

Well, in my last post, and in various previous posts, I've mentioned the need to take control of my personal finances and to chronicle my trip through the rectification of my bank account.

The purpose of Rate Genius is to make financing your car, truck, or SUV an easy process both on the mind and on the bank account! They will take steps to lower your interest rates, your monthly payments, and truly help you to save thousands. Make sure to check out the Rate Genius plan for lowering your car payments. You'll be glad you did. I certainly am! Tanya

How to deal with the holiday bills
