Luna Tail

I’ve wanted a hot tub for as long as I can remember. We could put one in our back yard… it’d actually be great to remodel the back yard and make a nice gazebo with a hot tub, get some nice hot tub accessories, and fix up the yard.

We have the room, really, so maybe we will! A friend of mine has a really nice spa in her back yard. It’s under their deck and they keep it running all year round. It’s nice to go and visit and sit in their hot tub!

If I were to get a hot tub, I’d love to have a SpaScenes. They totally transform the look and feel of the spa. They are a landscape cover that goes on the inside of the spa cover. So when you fold it up, it’s a gorgeous scene that really ads to the hot tub experience.

They are easy to install and don’t need any special tools or experience. They are water and chemical proof, and they are very affordable too! Click on the link above to go and have a look at them. Better to see them than just read about them!

Bahahaa.. so, do you flirt? I like to flirt, and still do it sometimes even though I’m married. It’s kinda fun and the husband doesn’t mind. Plus, I think it’s cute when he flirts as well. Makes us feel good about ourselves, I think. And that is a bonus. We are married, not dead, you know! Going on now is the Extreme Style by VO5 flirting contest… so if you want to join up, go and have a look and have some fun!

Me, I often flirt with my dogs! LOL and this is a fun flirting look that I give to Muffit. He likes to lick, and I like to oogle with him, and so this is what we do!

What other kinds of flirting are there, which are non-verbal? Well, there is the touch, of course. A casual touch to the arm or shoulder or hand, that you wouldn’t really give to anyone normally, but you will do with someone you are flirting with. There’s footsies under the table, but that is a little bit much for me! What kinds of flirting do you do?

Anyway, so have some fun flirting, and feel free to sign up for the flirting contest too! You might even win, and that’d be awesome!

Okay.. my cruise isn’t until October, but I’m starting to get excited! And really it’s only three months away now. I have to go get recertified for scuba diving as I have a scuba dive planned in Grand Cayman. I have always wanted to go to the Cayman Islands so I’m pretty excited about it.

I’m flying into Tampa with some friends, and we might need a car rental once we get there. I always am looking for the best deal on car rentals, as it’s not my most favorite part of the trip. Advantage has some specials on Luxury and Convertable Car rentals. Up to 50%. But I don’t like convertibles… ever since my second rollover I’m afraid because there is no hard shell over my head.

I gotta get that scuba going, and get my Harry Potter Robes cleaned as I’ll be there over Halloween!

I have never really dreamed of paying my bills… have you? Do you dream about money? I don’t dream about money! At least I don’t remember doing so lately. I’ll have to look up through this blog and see if I’ve forgotten something. I hope so, I kinda want to forget some of my dreams LOL.

My husband and I are pretty okay financially, though. I took this BillsIQ test today, and now I feel even better! Fortunately we don’t need any Debt consolidation, because we have no debt. Except the mortgage, and that should be paid off in about two years. I am amazed, and saddened, when people say they have tens of thousands of dollars in credit card debt. That is awful… and I’m so glad we don’t have any credit card debt. Well, we have some for Lucy for last month, but we should be getting that paid off before we get interest on it. Hopefully, anyway… not sure if we’ll have quite enough to cover it all.

Anyway, my BillsIQ score is 96%, which is an A, and I’m quite proud of that. It is, really though, because I work for the government and although I don’t get paid all the much, I hope to have a pension coming. Now that is something I dream of every day!

As ya’ll probably know because I dream so often about dogs and animal things, I have six dogs and I love them all. And social networking sites are just fun.. especially those that are all about pets!

So I signed up for ZooToo.com to check it out. I think I really like it, though of course I’m going to have to move around in it some to really get the hang of it. You can enter all your pets’ information, pictures, and stories. You can mark friends and you can join groups and you can chat with people.

They need a widget you can put on your blog.. hrm.. maybe they have one, I’ll have to go and have a look and see!

They also donate money to help rescue pets, which is awesome. And you can affiliate yourself with local rescues and shelters, too. I will have to see how to add my own collie rescue!

I think this is kinda odd… once in a while I’ll blog for Pay Per Post… which is a subsidiary of Izea, a social media advertising company. And they have asked me to blog about Pay Per Post… www.payperpost.com, which I think is odd because they recently started Social Spark, their new company, and I thought PPP was on it’s way out?

Maybe not. I hope not. I like Pay Per Post better. The layout is great, it’s easy to navigate, and they need advertisers! I wish they would have more dog and animal advertisers. And when they do, I wish I could snag them. Because I know a lot about dogs and dog health and dog training.

Izea offers bog sponsorship (which I personally don’t like because it has an entire page that loads before your blog does… hrm…) but it also offers blog posts (like this one) and product sampling. Now the product sampling is one of the best things, in my humble opinion… because I love to get and try out products, and then post about them!

So if you are an advertiser and are looking for a good way to get your product noticed, check out Izea and Pay Per Post! You might like what you find.

Dangit, the left click button on my mouse is being flaky. When I forget about it, I keep clicking and I wonder why my laptop has locked up! Especially since I just reinstalled Vista on the darn thing. I have to remember that no… it’s my mouse. But I really don’t like the touchpad and so I’m suffering through the mouse for a while.

I’ve been restoring backups of my pictures from the last few years. I’d post more, but I don’t know if you’d really relate to the old pictures like I do. I’m just so glad I have reliable hosting and good backups! If I were to get shared hosting again, I’d be checking out Web Hosting Geeks because they have independent reviews and lists of good cheap web hosts. And charts and comparisons are my favorites, because I like to be able to compare packages. That is a very useful thing in a website and I recently used something similar in order to pick a photo gallery for my web cam page.

Maybe I’ll post more old photos anyway… because I like them! And I love to reminisce.

I’ve been having some dreams lately of going out into strange hotels and conferences and trade show exhibits, which is actually kinda odd. You know, like home shows and outdoor shows and camping shows… oh, and boat shows. LOL

Interestingly enough, there are companies that provide table covers for trade shows, as well as booths and entire setups for events. For small businesses through Fortune 500 companies.

At work yesterday we had our summer party, which was fun, it was a dog theme. They had a really fun table top display that was made out of dog cookies. And we each got one after it was over, and yumm… it was super delicious!

Makes me want to go to a home show…

I drive a lot to do my dog sports with my dogs… unfortunately gas prices are having an effect on us. Are they having an effect on you? I’ve heard that in smaller towns people are going into serious debt because they can’t afford to pay their bills and the gas prices at the same time. Some people are even in danger of losing their homes.

Even school kids are needing help getting to and from school, and the program Divide The Ride can help out. They match you up with people who can drive kids to school. And they match you with people you know so you don’t have to worry about sending your kids off with strangers.

The world is too dangerous anymore, so being with people you know and trust is very important. This service has been on the news, too… the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric. It is an interesting service!

I am very supportive of the wonders and amazing things that stem sells have the potential for. I’m not pregnant myself, but I had to post about this cool service out there that will store your baby’s umbilical cord, and the associated stem cells, in case they are needed at a future time. The Cryo-Cell Innovative Stem Cell Solutions provides this service and what an amazing idea it is.

Their Cryo-Cell’s "Protect Baby, Protect Mom" service will allow for the storage of the cord and the stem cells for potential use against disease in the future. And with medical technology growing by leaps and bounds, these cells could become invaluable.

They also have a "Protect Baby, Protect Mom" Special Limited-Time Introductory Offer, so if you are planning on delivering in the near future you may want to check them out!
