Kick It With Blake Shelton And His Buddies On A 7-Day Cruise – Ends 3/18/12

Posted on March 12, 2012 by Mimi

Psst..hey you…come closer…a little bit closer…still closer…
So, you think you’re Blake Shelton’s number one fan right?
Well, Miranda Lambert is probably his number one fan on a good day so you would be his number two fan.

Anyway, guess what?You and a guest could kick it with Blake Shelton and his friends on a 7-Day cruise aboard the Norwegian Pearl.
Yes, you read that right – you and Blake stuck on a ship for 7 whole days.
Okay, that sounded creepy and stalkerish as I typed it and we know you’re not some psycho stalker,right?
Good because you wouldn’t want Miranda to kick your ass, would you?
I thought not.

Anyway, back to this sweet cruise sweepstake – clear your schedule and mark the dates October 14-21, 2012 because that is when it happens.
Oh and you and your guest get free airfare to Miami and you also win an autographed electric guitar from Blake PLUS you get to meet him and his buddies!!!

8 Reasons Why You Should Go See “John Carter” On 3/09/12 (PLUS 3 John Carter Sweeps!)

Posted on March 7, 2012 by Mimi

My little dude and I were lucky enough to catch an advanced screen of Disney’s “John Carter” last night and let me tell you,that was one heck of a movie. I’m not a big sci-fi, fantasy movie person but I decided to go in with an open mind and I was pleasantly surprised. It’s not just sci-fi,it’s an adventure flick too with a bit of action and even some funny lines sprinkled through out.If you’re still on the fence about seeing this truly awesome movie, allow me to sway you with my top 8 reasons why you should go see “John Carter” when it opens this Friday 3/09/12.

1. Taylor Kitsch
He kills it as John Carter. Ofcourse it doesn’t hurt that he is handsome and ripped – hey,I’m a girl,I notice these things. But really, he is insanely good as the lead character.

2. Lynn Collins
You can’t have a hot male lead without a hot female lead and Lynn manages to hold her own as the princess.If Taylor is the reason chicks watch John Carter, then Lynn is the reason men should flock to the cinemas to check out the movie.

3. Mark Strong
Seriously, need I say more here?It’s Mark freakin’ Strong. Google him.

4. This ugly but incredibly adorable creature
I am not an animal person and yet even I found myself “ohhing” and “ahhing” each time it’s ugly mug hit the screen. You too will fall in love with it, just wait and see.

5. The movie is directed by Andrew Stanton
He is also one of the people who wrote the screen play.If you’re not familiar with his work, he is the genius behind classics like “Finding Nemo” and “Toy Story”. Seriously, this guy’s stuff is all about quality and John Carter is no exception.

6. The movie is visually stunning.
Remember when I said the director is all about quality – if you are a visual person who likes beautiful, breath-taking images,you’ll love this movie.

7. My little dude recommends this movie.
Listen, my son is the world’s number one most honest critic and even he looked at me as we walked out of the cinema and said “that was a great movie mommy”.

8.There are 3 John Carter-related sweeps that you can enter right now:

a) IMAX – John Carter IMAX Sweepstakes

Who Wants To Win A 42” LG HDTV and Cash Cab Board Game? – Ends 3/28/12

Posted on March 6, 2012 by Mimi

There are 3 shows that I have intense love/hate relationships with: Jeopardy, Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader and Cash Cab.
I love the shows but I NEVER get any question right.
Seriously.
And I am a very smart person – at least I think I am but every single time I watch one of those three shows,I feel like the dumbest person on the planet.
And yet I faithfully tune in each time they are on.
What can I say?
I’m a sucker for punishment.

Another thing I’m a sucker for are big screen TVs and guess what?
You can own a 42” LG HDTV plus a Cash Cab board game just by entering this Cash Cab Giveaway.
You don’t have to answer any questions but you do have to watch a VERY short video to get the correct phrase that will let you enter the sweep.
The only tricky part here is finding the entry form on the page below but if you really are smarter than a fifth grader then trust me, it’ll be a breeze (hey,I found it in under 5 seconds!)

Cash Cab Giveaway
x 1 per person
Ends 3/28/12

ps: here is a ((((big hug)))) for you just because its Tuesday!

Learn A Foreign Language With Language Learning Software

Posted on March 2, 2012 by Mimi

I am bilingual and so is my little dude. The choice to be bilingual was made for both of us by the schools we went to but if my son’s school wasn’t teaching him Spanish, I would have used language learning software to teach him myself. I feel like learning a foreign language gives you an advantage when it comes to employment. In the next few years I hope to learn American Sign Language and you can bet your last dollar I will be relying on language learning software to perfect it instead of paying tons of money in tuition.

Believe In Magic Again In Las Vegas – Ends 3/31/12

Posted on March 1, 2012 by Mimi

Yah! It’s a new month!!
Are you excited?
I know I am.
I love the start of the month because in my brain it’s like a new chapter, a new beginning,a chance for a do-over for everything I didn’t get right in the past month…you see where I’m going with this,don’t you?
A new month means a fresh start.

If you’re reading this, chances are you’re grown and someone cruel destroyed your belief in magic a few years back.
That’s probably the same person who told you that the tooth fairy doesn’t exist.
Or that there is no such thing as an Easter bunny.
Or the fact that Santa Claus is really just your dad dressed up in a really bad costume and eating up all the cookies and milk you left out.
Wait, you did know there is no tooth fairy, Easter bunny or Santa, right?
Or did I just burst your bubble?
Oh well…

Anyway, now you have a chance for a do-over of sorts.
You have a chance to believe in magic again thanks to a new sweep from Southwest Airlines Spirit Magazine.
The deal here is simple – they will fly you and a guest to Las Vegas for 2 nights, put you up at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino, give you dinner for 2 as well as two tickets to see David Copperfield.
If you don’t know who David Copperfield is, google him.
He is one of the best in his field and certainly one of the most popular so that is guaranteed to be one heck of a show.
It will make you believe in magic again – even if only for a second or two.

Lionel Richie Wants To Serenade You In Las Vegas – Ends 3/11/12

Posted on February 29, 2012 by Mimi

My obsession with Las Vegas continues and today I have a special Las Vegas sweepstake that just keeps on giving.

It’s hosted by one of my all time favorite radio personalities – Blair Garner.
Blair doesn’t know it but he is my best friend in my head.
Him and I have been on tons and tons of road trips and I can’t tell you how good it feels to have Blair Garner blasting from your radio while you cruise down I-75 trying to get to the GA stateline before morning!
I owe him (and John Tesh) a lot for their wonderful company all those nights I have been out on the road either by myself or with the little one fast asleep in the back seat.

But back to this awesome sweepstake from Blair Garner and his wonderful show – After MidNite:
The prize is a 3-day/2-night trip for two to attend ACM Presents: Lionel Richie and Friends – In Concert on April 2, 2012 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
But wait, there is more:
You also get tickets to the Welcome Party at Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville.
Still breathing because there is still more:
They are also throwing in tickets to the Bon Voyage Party at Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill.
I told you this is the sweepstake that just keeps on giving,do you believe me now?

DayDreaming About A Vegas Pool Party – Ends 4/30/12

Posted on February 28, 2012 by Mimi

This is going to sound weird but I woke up this morning to a freezing house and yet the first thing that crossed my mind was “geez wouldn’t it be nice to go to a pool party sometime“.
I had that thought at exactly 3:23 am.
Weird.

So,I did what any sweeping addict would do, I immediately googled pool party sweeps and lo and behold, the Monster Beverage Company is giving away not just one but ten pool party trips.
Oh, and they just happen to be in Las Vegas.
Take a second to let that sink in – a pool party in the city of sin.
Did I mention there is $1,000 spending money thrown into the mix as well?
You can start doing the happy dance now.

Oh, and just in case you’re not one of the lucky ten who get to go to Vegas for that pool party, you can still win a super cool Monster Energy Edition Epiphone Les Paul guitar worth an estimated $599.
I don’t know about you but that’s not such a terrible consolation prize.
