Some Thoughts

First, BlogHer (a big blogging convention that's really well-known) just finished, and I didn't realize until after it was done how cool it would be. Not that I would have been able to get a ticket, pay for a hotel room, and get to and fro... But next year it's in New York, and I really want to go! I haven't talked to Woof about whether or not she'd be interested in going, but I really want to make this blog into something fun, informative, and a really great place for college students and their families to share experiences (with college and products, and anything else) and to come together and do things together! That's really my ultimate goal, and after hearing so much about the conference, it sounds like something that really would have shown me what I need to do next. Plus, New York has a GREAT public transportation system (I don't drive), but the tickets will sell out more quickly. Hmmm..... I guess this is as good a time to announce that I am looking for sponsors (partial or full) to attend the BlogHer Conference in 2012. If you'd like to contact me, my email is in the left column under 'PR Friendly.'

Also, while I was looking at some other blogs, I found two things that I think are awesome and I want to share with you right away. One was a Papa John's deal for a free medium pizza, and the other was a great pen-holder craft that you can do with stuff you already have in your house!

Enjoy your night, tonight is my night off of work, so I know I'll enjoy it... By entering giveaways all night!

Some Updates

I feel bad that I wasn't able to keep up with the Daily Deals posts again, but I realized tonight it's just too much for me alone. I have been very busy the past few days and haven't been able to find the time to go through all those deals and update the posts. I don't want to give up on it entirely (I just love the idea of college-oriented deal posts!) so I'm going to make it once a week, when new circulars are around. That would make today the first day, I think. I'm going to update the name to be 'Weekly Deals!' and if I find something before the next week's post that will expire, I'll just make a new post about it.

There's also two things going on regarding reviews and giveaways on the blog. We have a sodastream review that will be written and posted tomorrow, and soon we'll have an awesome BatterBlaster review and giveaway! Please keep an eye out for those posts. We're also open to any pitches for products for review or review and giveaway on the blog! Every review comes with a spot under 'sponsors' for a month, starting the day the review is posted to the blog. If you'd like additional blog information, just send us an email, we're always checking it!

While this technically isn't an update about the blog, something funny happened tonight at work, and I really want to share:

I work at Mcdonald's, as some of you may know, and our store is open 24 hours, so we get all kinds overnight. Well, this group of people had ordered and eaten, and when they were done they decided to have some fun. They drove around to about 20 feet in front of the drive-thru window and one of them got out. The driver honked the horn to get my attention while I served food to someone in their car, and when I glanced up, the guy outside the car was mooning me. I only saw it for a second because honestly we were too busy for me to have the time to stare at someone's butt. The funny part is that the driver panicked when they realized I saw who they were, and started to drive away without the moon-er. He was running after the car, frantically trying to pull up his pants and yelling 'wait! Wait!' The car did stop a little ways away, but it was still kinda funny that they thought such a dumb 'prank' would bug me, and that the driver was so worried that they started to drive away. What was I gonna do?

That's all the updates I have for now. Thank you for reading!
