My Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings - A day in the life of a busy mom . . .

Does your home feel like a circus too? I know mine does. There are many changes I am hoping to do in 2009 that will make it even less of a zoo here. First, I am hoping to become more organized. Right now, we have paperwork from one end of the house to the other. Instead of just stacking it and then filing it when I am good and ready, my goal is to actually file it right away. Then I don’t have to worry about losing it. Next, I am hoping to save more. This will be interesting and hard. With Bill’s new car and possible school tutition for Madison, that may wipe us clean in a crappy economy. However, we’ve made it this far. I already cut coupons and if need be, we will start cutting the extras like cable and my daily newspaper. However, I am keeping my hopes and I think 2009 will be a great year!

What are your plans to make your life less of a circus in 2009?

Big Box of Awesomeness

No, it’s not mine. Instead, the Big Box Of Awesomeness is over at Drew’s Blog. This is a box of swag that he wants everyone to guess what’s inside. Now, I think so far we’ve figured out an Izea cup holder and obviously a tshirt (since we can see that). However, I have a hint for you. I know something else that is that box. Want to know what it is?

This is a Magic Frame. You can put 40 4×6 photos into it and be able to switch them in and out at will. Now, Drew is having a contest to see if people can guess what is in his box. You now know one thing — Go enter!!!!

10 Things You Should Know About John Chow

Besides being an A List blogger, I’ll be honest — I really did not know too much about him. However, after seeing him at Izeafest (yes, I was too chicken to actually talk to him), I was able to make a couple of observations.

1. He is a blogger first and a celebrity/speaker second. He was the only blogger/speaker on the Big Money Blogger Panel that I saw attend the Izeafest Conference the entire time both days. He was always front and center in the audience. I was super impressed to see him actually blogging about the conference on his blog.

2. He is really nice. He talked to every single person that walked up to him.

3. He likes free stuff as much of the rest of us. Drew gave him an X-shot to play with, and I watched him and his wife play with it for about 2 hours. (Shhhh, I played with mine for longer than that. LOL)

4. He has been in three movies as a security guard!

5. He was surprised that Google who makes billions of dollars a year kicked him out. In that scale, he is just an itty bitty little fleck.

6. He is really, really funny. Don’t believe me? Watch this video:

7. He is normal person who likes to do normal things with normal people. Just ask Colleen who took him on a tour of Universal Studios on Sunday.

8. He joined in the IzeaHunt which was a crazy scavenger hunt we did. He was just as wild crazy as the rest of us. Don’t believe how crazy it was? Watch this:

9. He was constantly videotaping and taking pictures of everything. I don’t know why but it just surprised me to see that he was just as interested in everything as the rest of us were.

10. He just got a really cool new template on his blog. I have to admit I really like it. Its clean and well, I always like blue.

Did you learn anything about John Chow that you didn’t know?
