I missed out on a trip to Florida in May

by

You know, I missed out on an Orlando vacation back at the end of May. The company was supposed to hold Postiecon at that time and I was going to go. I would have enjoyed a short trip to Florida at that time of year.

Now their event is going to be in November alongside Bloggersworld in Las Vegas. I’ve been invited to go as a panelist since I’m one of the top earners but I haven’t heard a thing as to whether they’ll be paying for my hotel or anything like that. You’d think that if someone wants you to speak at a large event that they might at least put you up in a hotel?

I guess I’ll have to write to them about it and find out what’s going on. As I mentioned in an earlier post I haven’t bought my tickets for my flight or reserved a hotel room yet and this is one of the main reasons why I haven’t. I suppose I could go ahead and make my reservations and if they were going to pay for anything they could reimburse me, but still … it’d be nice to know in advance.





I’ve got to get myself into a boat!

by

I’m still trying to find a way to go boating this year. We’ve been invited to a friends house tomorrow night and they live out in the middle of no where … I think on a lake. If I’m lucky maybe I’ll find myself in a canoe tomorrow evening or Saturday morning.

I just adore canoing and I’m so upset that I haven’t gone for a few years. I swear I was born in a canoe. There’s photos of me in canoes and boats when I was so young that I have no memory of it. That’s why I say I must have been born in a canoe because there’s certainly photographic evidence that I’ve been enjoying them most of my life!

Well if I don’t get to go boating this weekend I know that on September first I’ll be on a boat. A cruise boat! My brother made reservations for our whole family to go on a Toronto dinner boat cruise on September first. That should be fun. It’s not a canoe but it’ll be fun. Dinner, drinks, getting together with my family – and a boat. Yeahhh.

Rick Wakeman concert

by

We’ve just discovered that there’s some really good concerts going on this summer at the Danforth Music Hall. Chris has been trying to buy concert tickets for the Rick Wakeman concert on August 19th.

What you don’t know who Rick Wakeman is? Have you heard of the band YES? Oh YES you have … I’m sure you have. The tickets are about $70. Kind of expensive but this might be Chris’ only time to see him in concert. I guess if he’s going to buy the tickets he’ll have to do it soon.

Funny thing. Mandy Moore – yes the actress, has a concert at the Danforth Music Hall on September 21st. Interesting.

Moms check out the special promo I just wrote about!

by

Hey if you’re a mom that needs a break take a look at the post that I just wrote on my gardening blog.

It’s for a special luxury weekend called Motherhood Redefined. If you use the special promo code that I listed in the post you can get 75% off the price of the whole event which includes accommodations in a four star resort, a chance to see celebrity speakers and special interactive workshops.

If I was a mom who needed to get away from it all I’d go!

As it is I don’t think I’ll be going on any kind of holiday in the near future, other than perhaps my possible trip to Las Vegas in November. I’m still up in the air on that one though as I need to find out hotel and flight prices etc.

A shopping site where users blog about the items listed – Shogging

by

I was just visiting a new website called Shogging.com. It’s a website that allows it’s visitors to do some Comparison Shopping. There are millions of products listed.

Shog is a combination of the word shop and blog and this site is also a combination of shopping and blogging, thus it’s name Shogging, because users of the site can not only compare prices of the various items that they are interested in, but they can also blog about their experiences with the products or stores selling the item.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a site quite like this before. It’s an interesting concept. I’m bookmarking the site so that the next time I’m thinking of buying something I can see if anyone’s written about it. I love reading write ups about items I’m interested in purchasing.
