Try A New Blizzard on Me

Well really on DQ because they sponsored the giveaway, but another contest on my other site is for a Dairy Queen giftcard so you (and a friend or family member) can try out one of the new mini-Blizzards.  Took Cameron and Becka to DQ last week and they both got one.  Seemed like a much better size to me as I can never finish even a small one.  And now you can see what you think.  Contest ends on 8/19 and at this time you are only completing against 45 other entries.  Still decent odds so go enter for your chance at a DQ Gift Card.

Buying a New TV Tomorrow

Tomorrow I’m buying a new tv – our first flat screen and it’s probably strange, but it’s going in my youngest daughter’s room.  Her room is the smallest in the house, though, and I think it will make her room look a lot bigger to get a tv on the wall and off  the big dresser it’s on now.  I can’t wait.  I’ve picked one out – not very big, but not too small, but not sure about a few things.  Have to research how many vga cables you can hook up to it, and need to figure out what to do with the dvd player.  hmm…maybe I need to do some image searching online.  Should I mount a shelf on the wall beside it?  Confused!

Shutterfly Photo Cards

The post might say 20, but it’s now really 24 (thank you Shutterfly) cards are up for giveaway at my blog, Southern Girl Reviews. The contest ends on 8/18 so check it out! I’m just getting this site good and going so entries tend to be fairly low.  Now is the time to get in and win some prizes.  (There are only 20 entries right now!  You read right…those are some pretty good odds!)

150,000 Miles PLUS

Yep…my pretty little car rolled over 150,000 miles this summer. I can’t believe it. I’ve never owned a car this long.  I bought it when I was 24. Before that (from 16 – 24) I went through a Dodge Ram, Ford Ranger, Ford Mustang, Ford Ranger, and Pontiac Grand Am)..Yep – that’s 5 vehicles in 7 years.  But I’ve held on to my baby since the summer of 2003, and I still love her.  But I’ve started taking some actions and trying to accept her mileage.  I bought a roadside assistance plan and have started a savings just for her (or her replacement) as I figure that she’s going to start needing some repairs more often (or get to the point that I need a downpayment on a replacement.  *sigh*  Kind of makes me sad. :(

My Contests

I’m not sure if anyone who reads this are party of the group that followed me when I hosted contests here at All About Kimberly, but as I’m posting other people’s contests, it dawned on me that I might ought to tell you that I host contests over at Southern Girl Reviews (http://southerngirlreviews.com) now and am just keeping this as a personal blog. If you are interested, you should head over and check it out. I’ve got 3 contests going right now that end in the next 3 or 4 days. I’ll run over and start doing posts over each of them now so you can check them out if you are interested.
