What’s On Your Bucket List?

Posted on November 7, 2011 by Mimi

On Oct 31,2011, a very special person helped me cross out number 11 from my bucket list by taking me to a live taping of WWE RAW in Atlanta.
I can’t explain the incredible amount of joy I felt sitting in that audience.
To this day,I still get excited recalling that day and how awesome it was to not only spend time with this person but to also get to fulfill one of my dreams.
Almost a week later and I am still on that wrestling high.I don’t know when or if it will ever wear off.
(side note: Dear John Morrison,when I grow up I want to be you.I want to walk in slow motion to my work computer in glittery rockstar pants while wind blows through my hair!)

Attending a live wrestling event is just one of the things on my bucket list and since I know you’re curious to know what else is on there,here are 15 16 items I intend to do before the good Lord calls a time out on my time here on earth:
1.Visit Las Vegas
2.Participate in the Peachtree Race
3.Get a kiss at the Eiffel tower
4.Take a road trip through all the 50 states and spend at least 2 days in each state
5.Own a fully paid off home
6.Write a children’s book
7.Write a book
8.Visit Miami
9.Tour Egypt’s pyramids
10.Participate in a flash mob
11.Have my own radio segment (or show)
12.Have my own TV segment (or show)
13.Start an online magazine
14.Have my own line of T-shirts

Follow Me To Tennessee – Ends 10/31

Posted on October 27, 2011 by Mimi

I have passed through Tennessee a few times.
It seems like a nice enough place with nice people but I have to be honest with you – driving through the Tennessee mountains scares the crap out of me!
Its amazing how one place can be so pretty and yet so scary.
The mountains take your breath away but the cliffs are so steep that it’s tempting to want to close your eyes out of fear as you drive through…but of course that wouldn’t be such a smart thing to do,now would it?

Anyway,I’m headed to Tennessee and since I’m in such a great mood,I figured why not invite you to follow me to Tennessee?
I figure we can stalk Brad Paisley, umm explore this beautiful state together and guess what? The Tennessee Department of Tourist Development apparently has the same idea as me!They want you to discover first hand why their state is “America at Its Best” and to do that,they are hooking you up with a trip to Nashville!

Pretty sweet,huh?
Maybe while you’re there you can stalk Brad Paisley.
But wait,there is more..Not only do you get a 2-night stay at the Loews Hotel in Nashville,you also get Music City Backstage Attraction passes, silver tickets to the CMA Awards Show at the Bridgestone Arena, and tickets for the Bluegrass Underground at Cumberland Caverns BUT remember,you can’t win if you don’t enter so enter today!
Tennessee Department of Tourist Development – Fall Contest

Ends 10/31

Christmas Photo Cards Are The Rage These Days

Posted on October 24, 2011 by Mimi

The holiday season is about to hit us smack dab in the face and even though you might be groaning inside like the Grinch, you can’t escape it so you better embrace it. The holidays have always been a bit of a lonely and sad time for me. I haven’t celebrated Christmas in a while because each Christmas is a reminder that my grandmother, a person who played a huge role in my childhood Christmases, is not here anymore. She died a few years ago on Christmas Eve and was buried on Christmas… you can see how that can be a serious buzz kill year after year.

One thing I can count on to cheer me up during the holidays are the greeting cards I receive from a few people who still care about me. I have always had a soft spot for cards – probably because I’m a writer and I’m impressed with how cards express sentiments perfectly with a few choice words. Lately though, I have been very impressed with the Christmas photo cards that everyone seems to be obsessed with sending out. I don’t like the posed pictures on most cards, I love the Christmas cards with spontaneous, “unposed” for pictures that capture a moment of true laughter. Actually I love them so much that this year I’m going to jump right back in the Christmas spirit and instead of waiting for other people to send me cards, I’m going to be sending out a few of my own and guess what they will have? A picture of my little dude with his new Mohawk – I took it right outside the barbershop the day he got his Mohawk. He was playing outside my car, unaware that I was taking his picture and the result is this cute “unposed” for picture that shows a little boy grinning from ear to ear because he had just gotten his very first Mohawk.

Meet New People Via Chat Rooms Online

Posted on October 13, 2011 by Mimi

If life were a job interview being held in a chat room online, I’d be that person who types in big bold capital letters – “HIRE ME BECAUSE I’M A PEOPLE PERSON”. I love meeting new people. I am curious about people and I really enjoy chatting with people and figuring out what them “tick”. In this era of texting, instant messaging and online dating, I find myself drawn to ChatRoomsOnline.Net because it is a free chat site with tons of free chat rooms. This century is all about meeting people in cyber space as opposed to bars and other traditional off line venues and meeting people doesn’t get any easier than at Chat Rooms Online. So if you enjoy meeting new people, you should head there right now and mingle.
