Oct 20 - ABC - What has been your favorite job?

Image
I would have to say my favorite job "outside of the house" would be when I was younger in my late teens working at Toys R Us during the holiday season!! I loved that to see the parents buying all the cool toys. Another one would have to be my first job "outside of the house" which was working as a carhop at Sonic. I love Sonic, always have and will and that was a great job because there every night after work I would have my tips that I made from my shift and I loved have money every day! My favorite job working in my home office is of course me being a customer service rep. Love it! I love working here in my home office and working the hours that I want and need too and not having to worry about rushing around in the morning getting ready or fighting the traffic to work etc. Wouldn't change it for the world!

My adventures as a Work at home mom -Being a Virtual Assistant

Image
Being a Virtual Assistant is a wonderful thing. I have been working here at home for over 12 years now! I started back when the kids were smaller and yes while it was a challenge to work at home as a customer service rep is what I first started out doing it, I made it work. I was determined more then ever to make a living here at home and I have for the most part. Yes I took a break now and then but I always go back to it. I love the convenience of it all. I love that I know what to do and don't have someone looking over my shoulder so to speak when I'm working and if something comes up, I can jump up and go handle it and then back to work. Now not with all work at home jobs you can do that. And don't fall for the jobs that say that they are work at home jobs but they are in reality a work at home "opportunity/business opportunity" those are the ones where you usually end up paying a monthly fee or a one time fee etc. Don't do that, there isn...

Oct 19 - ABC - What are some family traditions you practice now or want to start practicing?

Image
We have our own family traditions now that our family doesn't live where they use too and we've lost family members etc. Me, hubby (not for much longer) and our 4 kids will continue the tradition of getting together on the holidays. Thanksgiving and Christmas me and the kids are always in the kitchen making things. There are things that my only daughter and I like to make and then there are things that my youngest son and I like to make. The other 2 well they aren't into baking/cooking etc like the other 2 are so they help with some things but not as much into the baking like the others are. We will continue spending time together and listening to holiday music and spending time together baking and talking and just enjoying being together.

Oct. 18 - ABC - Write about a childhood family tradition.

Image
Since its close to the upcoming holiday season, I will write about it. The childhood family tradition that I remember is our family would always no matter what get together for Christmas. Everyone would go over to my aunt's house and then we would load up in several vehicles and head over to my grandparent's house. We lived 4-5 hours away in my later teenage years so it would be a trip for us to go see them each year. My aunt and grandparents lived in the same town and my uncle and cousins were all there so it wasn't that big of a deal or trip for them but for us it always was and it never failed EVERY year we would always forget something!

My Review on Asher's Chocolates :)

Image
I received my box of Asher's Milk & Dark Chocolate Assortment on Friday. I was first wondering what in the world by the huge box that they shipped it in. I opened it and they had packed the box of chocolates inside an ice chest with a big ice pack in there to help keep them from not melting. That is a great way to ship such fragile things. I thought that was a great idea to do that to ensure they wouldn't melt. I opened the box and I chose my first piece of chocolate, I picked one of the ones that was square, it had pecans and caramel in it. It was so delicious..I took small bites and I have to say..its the best chocolate I have ever tasted! It's so rich but yet not to where they over do it...its just the perfect amount of milk chocolate over the caramel and nuts. I loved it! The one I had was at the bottom on the left side...sooo good!! I had another one that was again milk chocolate and it was one with coconut! I absolutely love coconut!! When my kid...

Videos on gameplay

Image
I love playing Role playing games like Guild Wars 2 and Torchlight 2 and a few others so I am going to make some videos of me playing those games and share them on my youtube channel. I was thinking that way the ones that haven't played them and don't want to spend the money on the game without knowing what the games are like (some are free others aren't) some want to know what a real person has to say about the game and WAtch gameplay.   I know that there are others out there doing this, but they are big companies and I think that sometimes they are biased so to speak on certain games that they review because some of them, all I ever hear is good reviews, nothing bad or negative really..so I am going to be working on that as well and do the gameplay and show you what games are out there that are fun to play and help you relax          

Manners??!!

I heard about this in a group that I'm in and just thought I would share it to see what your opinions are on the matter... I have been putting up some giveaways and here pretty soon (today or tomorrow) I'm going to be announcing my own giveaway..so that is another reason why I'm writing this... This morning in a group someone had chose a person to win a prize and when she did this, she sent them an email and said something to the effects of please respond within 48 hours. She gets an email back from the person...it was blank!! Really?? You are going to send back an empty email to a person that is going to be sending you a prize that you won. Really?? Where are your manners?? That is just rude, disrespectful and completely ridiculous!! That is one of my pet peeves, if you don't use manners then you don't deserve things especially when its dealing with a giveaway. I mean come on!! Really how long does it take to send back an email with a simple Than...

Buy a PC and get an XBOX 360 Free!!

This isn't some sort of crazy offer, its legit from the Microsoft store!! That would be an awesome way to get Christmas!! I'm thinking about doing that. Getting my oldest son a computer for college next year and then maybe keeping the 360 for the family to play...
