It’s My Imagination

Broken Plug In

I was so proud of myself for updating this blog on my own, but now I have a broken plug-in.

My comment email responder isn’t working properly.  It’s probably something minor, but I’m easily frustrated and intimidated when it comes to technical stuff and looking at blog code falls right into that category!

Forgive me if I’m not responding!

Holiday Airfare Deals from my Friend in Paradise!

This is a sponsored guest post written by Ali Kendall on behalf of Airfare Secrets. Post powered by Sponzai.

Just wanted to send a quick “shout-out” across the Pacific to my friend Ali in sunny Honolulu, Hawaii!

Ali runs the airfare-now.com website with all kinds of tips, coupons, strategies, etc. for findng holiday airfare deals. Now airfare comparison travel sites have come a long way in the past few years but there are still literally thousands of them to choose from. So here’s a big aloha and mahalo to Ali for keeping it simple on a pretty nifty little travel website!

Good Sunday Morning!

I was scheduled to work this morning and I logged in to the phone at 8:00 am. In a period of 25 minutes I only received 1 call and thankfully, received Extended Break until 10. So, I will sit, enjoy a nice hot cup of coffee, and then log back in at 10 and see how it goes. I’m only scheduled until 12, so it will be a short day no matter what!
Hope everyone is having a good Sunday morning!

Tofurkey on Your Menu?

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Jones Soda. All opinions are 100% mine.

Last week I received a lovely green box delivered on my front stoop with big white letters on the outside, IZEA! I was so excited! Who doesn’t love getting packages in the mail?

I took my shiny new green box inside where my daughter and I quickly opened it up and found a fantastic turkey hat and a soda bottle filled with….TOFURKY soda? What the heck is Tofurky and how did it get in this soda bottle?

According to the Jones Soda website, Tofurky and Gravy Jones Soda is a meatless alternative to eating turkey and gravy! They also suggest serving it along with mashed potatoes and gravy and a good side of humor!

Now, I have to admit, I love the hat (so does my daughter)! The Tofurky and Gravy Jones Soda I’m not so sure about! It does certainly make a great gag gift though and can even be ordered in gift packs. I do like the sound of the other flavors that Jones Soda has to offer, Black Cherry, Pom and Vanilla Bean. Now those sound like tasty flavors! If you order the Tofurky gift pack, you get all of these flavors AND a Tofurky metal lunch box which is very cool in my opinion!

Black Friday

So, did you take advantage of any of the Black Friday shopping deals?

I had to work Friday morning so couldn’t take advantage of the early morning doorbusters, but I probably wouldn’t have gone out to fight the crowds anyway.  My daughter and I headed out to shop about 10 in the morning and I only had one item on my shopping list, a printer for my mom’s Christmas gift.

So, with my printed email ad in hand, we headed off to Staples.  I figured since they had opened at 6 a.m. and we didn’t even leave the house until 10, it was a bit unlikely that I would still get the doorbuster deal, but I thought I would check anyway.  I also figured that Staples is not exactly a “destination” shopping store, even on Black Friday, so there might still be a chance.  Imagine how happy I was to walk in and still find the wireless printer I had seen in the ad still available!  Not only that, but it was at the doorbuster price of $59.98, $60 off the original price!  What a deal and I really think my mom is going to like it, especially since her printer that she keeps in her winter home in Arizona was recently stolen.

After making my one purchase, my daughter & I headed off to a few other stores just to check out their deals, including ToyRUs and Best Buy, but we wound up not making any more purchases.  It was such a beautiful day, 70 and no wind, we decided to head home and put up our outside Christmas decorations.  We got lights on the trees and my daughter even managed to get up on the roof to put wreaths up on the dormer windows.  Today I’m going to work on decorating the tree in the family room.

So, what did you do for Black Friday and did you get any deals?

Happy Thanksgiving

Myspace Graphics

I wish all of my U.S. friends and family a very happy Thanksgiving.

We are having a quiet celebration of thanks here in our home with just the 3 of us.  I had to work this morning and now have a nice plump turkey in the oven which we will eat for dinner after while.  I have expanded our normal Thanksgiving day menu to include a few items I’ve never made before including roasted brussell sprouts and a butternut squash dressing.

Fact is, I had so many menu items I wanted to make that I am going to make a couple items over the next few days for us to eat along with our left over turkey!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Are You Ready for Thanksgiving?

Every year I feel fairly relaxed about cooking Thanksgiving dinner, it’s usually just the 3 of us for dinner, but I do like to make a traditional holiday meal for us.  I don’t make anything fancy, I stick to the basics.  I find it enjoyable, my favorite meal of the year to cook.

This year I have decided to go out on a limb and make some new recipes for our Thanksgiving meal.  I’m not sure what possessed me to do this, I even had to purchase ingredients that I’ve never purchased before, ever!  The recipes appear to be easy though, they simply have different ingredients than what I normally use.  The one good thing I noticed right away was the fact that I can make these dishes ahead and the recipes even give directions for reheating them on Thanksgiving day.  Since I have to work Thursday morning until 1, I thought I’d spend tomorrow afternoon preparing the side dishes.  Then, I’ll just have to roast the turkey and make the mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving day.

Am I crazy for trying new recipes on my favorite cooking day of the year, especially since I have to work that day as well?

Enjoying the Rythm of My IPod

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Yamaha. All opinions are 100% mine.

Any of you who might read my other blog know that I sew, quite a bit.  However, I’ve been in a creative slump of late and one of the reasons is that when I go into my sewing room, there is no television, radio, or sound of any kind.  I enjoy the quiet, but, after a while, I feel sort of cut off from everything, it seems almost too quiet.  I have a clock/radio in my bedroom that I can also play my iPod through, but, it’s not exactly portable and I do use it for my morning alarm so don’t want to move it.  Since Christmas is right around the corner, I’m adding an iPod speaker to my wish list!

I’ve actually been known to wear my iPod around my neck with my earbuds in while sewing, but I’m always afraid of what could happen if my iPod or its harness were to get caught up in my sewing machine.  It really could be dangerous.  I’ve been wanting some sort of player for a while now and am looking into the Yamaha PDX-60 Speaker Dock. I like that it comes with a remote so I would be able to place the dock up on top of the sewing cabinet and still be able to operate it while sitting in my sewing chair.

I really like the Yamaha PDX-60 and all ready have it bookmarked and a link in an email to Santa (aka, my husband)!

Where do you listen to your iPod?
