Tired of hearing about celebrity problems

by

I haven’t been writing in my celebrity blog very much lately. Why? Well for a while there it seemed that just about every star was battling some kind of drug or alcohol addiction or was checking into drug rehab. I simply got sick of writing about it!

Now that a whole crop of new stars are pregnant and or have just given birth perhaps it’s a sign that things are changing on the celeb scene a bit? Maybe I’ll start writing in my blog Celebrity Scoop a little bit more. Actually I hope to start writing about more of the fashion trend and hot items that the stars are buying. Purses, shoes, the latest clothing and try to find comparable products that we, the common people, can afford. Wish me luck?





Great deals on electronics at TechBargains

by

The holidays will be here soon and if you are like me you’ve started to shop and you’re probably watching for sales and bargains so that you can get some great gifts for your family and friends.

You might want to check out Techbargains.com. They have all kinds of deals on electronics such as HDTVs, GPS systems, cheap digital camera, iPods, LCD displays, Notebooks, cell phones and many other products that would make ideal gifts.

TechBargains has exclusive deals coming out all the time. If you really want to get a bargain it would be in your best interest to sign up for their email deal alert which you can customize to fit your interests. By this I mean that when you sign up for email deal alerts you can add keywords or pick a specific category and when deals come up for products in those categories or that match your keywords you’ll get an alert.

There’s also an email newsletter each week that highlights the best deals of the week.

Other ways to keep an eye on deals and bargains at TechBargains would be to subscribe to their RSS feed or visit their webpage using your mobile phone. You can even sign up for their mobile RSS feed if you prefer to use your cellphone to keep track of potential deals on great tech products.

I like that the site is constantly updated. They even do updates on weekends and holidays so no matter when you check the site you can find some new bargains.

I found that the site is very easy to use. You can navigate easily by using the tabs at the top of each page. For example if you wanted to check to see if there were any coupon deals for Dell products you could just click on the coupons tab and then select Dell at the top of the page. Otherwise you could just scan through the whole list of coupons to possibly find a discount on an item that you want to purchase.

There’s also a tab for rebates. I love rebates. Sometimes you can get quite a discount on an item that has a rebate coupon.

There are thousands of items listed at Techbargains. Once you find an item that you want to buy you can read the product descriptions and even do product comparisons. I think you’ll find Techbargains quite helpful as you shop for holiday gifts for your loved ones this year.

Don’t you hate when you have to buy extras to make something work?

You know, when we bought our HD DLP television a few years ago .. 2004 I believe, it didn’t even come with any HDMI switches. In fact at that time you really couldn’t even buy this type of connection in Canada, but of course if you want the best performance out of your HD television or say an HD DVD player (like we have) you really need one of these connections.

I can’t tell you how much that ticked me off when I found out that it didn’t have an HDMI connection. Oh sure it has the outlet for it, but the vital connection wasn’t included in what was then a close to $5000 TV?

I think I’m going to get one of these switches now so that we can hook up the HD PVR and the HD TV. Who knows, maybe we’ll get a second one so that we can also connect the HD dvd player with one as well. Naturally all of these items work with lesser connections but I bet the picture is so much better with an HDMI.

My husbands a flirt!

Wordless Wednesday

Heather, Chris and Crystal

My husbands quite a character as a lot of bloggers found out when we were in Vegas this past week. Above is a photo of him Schmoozing it up with Heather from Beautiful BC and her daughter Crystal.

As if that weren’t enough he got real close and in your face with Heather

Chris and Heather

And then flirted with her daughter Crystal too!

Chris gets fresh with Crystal

What a guy!

Oh and in case your wondering – he’s like this all the time! He’s quite a character to live with!

I seem to have a number of photos of Heather with two drinks in her hands. Must have been a tough flight. Perhaps she was de-stressing? 🙂

You can see more photos from my trip to Vegas at Flickr.

We’re home and I’m freezing!

We’re back from Las Vegas!

I was just saying on my gardening blog that I already miss the Vegas weather as it’s cold and dreary here in Toronto! I am, however, very glad to be home since I continued to be quite sick while I was away on my trip and managed to get even sicker!

It’s much better to be at home when you feel absolutely horrible. If my Crohn’s acting up wasn’t enough I woke up with a terribly sore throat this morning. I’ve been drinking warm liquids all day and sometimes it feels a bit better but then it gets worse again. I hope it’s just post nasal drip or something making my throat feel so bad and not strep throat or something.

Other than not feeling very well while I was in Las Vegas I managed to have a good time. I met up with some bloggers that I’ve known for years, others that I’ve only known a short while and hopefully made a few new blogging friends too.

We never managed to have time to try out the gambling in Vegas, so I missed out on that experience -gambling virgin that I am! Oh well. We did go out to a few clubs, one of which was the famous TAO nightclub at the Venetian Hotel.

TAO is huge! It’s a beautiful nightclub though, and the staff were very friendly. Oh and their finger foods were delicious! They served us spring rolls, sushi, won tons filled with shrimp and lobster, Kobe beef mini hamburgers and tiny deserts. I’m sure there were a few other finger foods that I missed too. All were delicious!

On Thursday night my husband and I got together with Mr. Fab from Pointless Drivel. He’d already eaten but he met us at the Outback while we ate. We then got in touch with some of the other bloggers that were in town for the convention and we all eventually met up at a bar called Tattoo Alley.

What a great time!

The band was fantastic and I think we all had a good time drinking and talking and joking around. My husband Chris bought a feathered boa for Mr. Fab and when the other bloggers joined up with us the boa got passed around. I think Colleen or Jules were last scene wearing it.

I’ve got lots of photos to upload and post. Some could be embarrassing to those who were with us that night! I’ll get them up soon!

More about my trip later. I’m still recovering!
