Hockey + Vegas = Crazy Fun – Ends 5/10/12

Posted on February 27, 2012 by Mimi

I don’t know why you watch hockey but I watch it because I’m always hoping someone will fight.
I don’t condone violence so please don’t bombard my inbox with emails lecturing me about this blog post.
It just so happens that a fight has broken out in almost each and every hockey game I have watched so I’ve come to equate hockey to fights.
And really hot guys – I mean seriously, hockey players are hot.

And now,I’m about to equate hockey to Vegas.
Why?
Because the NHL Awards are happening in Vegas this year and guess what?
You could win a trip to watch them live and go to the after party.
So let me get this straight — hockey, hot guys, Vegas, more hot guys, Vegas, even more hot athletes.
*phew* sign me up already!

7-Night Cruise To The Caribbean – Text To Win Sweep – Ends 3/29/12

Posted on February 22, 2012 by Mimi

My plate of “things to do” today is overflowing.
Everything is urgent so prioritizing is impossible.
I have looming deadlines.
I have things that needed to be done yesterday.
I have emails that needed to be replied last week.
I have food that should have been thawed out but didn’t get taken out of the freezer.

I have things to do.
Lots of things to do.
One problem though – I am so not in the mood to do a single thing today.
The weather is good and I just want to curl up on my couch and daydream about being out on a cruise with my loved ones.
Okay,honestly that is exactly what I’m doing right now – daydreaming about being on a cruise!
You can do better than daydream though….
Pull out your phone and send in a quick entry to this text to win sweep from NBCUniversal and Celebrity Cruises.
The prize is a 7-night Caribbean cruise for 2!

What Would You Do With $5,000? – Ends 2/28/12

Posted on February 20, 2012 by Mimi

In case the W-2 forms or the 1099 forms in your mailbox didn’t clue you in already, tax season is upon us.

Yes my dears,it’s here and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it but grudgingly walk to your accountant and pay the tax man what’s due to him.

I know most people hate paying taxes and are generally stressed around tax time,
I used to be one of those people until I started putting a positive spin to this time of the year.
Now when my accountant tells me I owe an absurd figure,instead of sulking,I just say – thank you for that absurb figure because it means last year I had work.
Because of that work,I was able to pay my bills and do this and that and the other.
I have found that thinking that way (positively) makes tax time a lot less stressful for me.

Want to know what else would make this time of the year a tad less stressful for you?
$5,000.
That’s right…five thousand dollars.
Staples wants to give you $5K along with some really valuable tax tips that may just put a little more money back into your pocket.
Simply follow @staples on twitter and tweet about the giveaway once a day…

Disney Text To Win Sweeps (Three of them!!)

Posted on February 16, 2012 by Mimi

I was stalking someone’s profile on Facebook – yeah,I’m not the only one who does that! – and I saw this really cool picture of Bill’s Rules.

The “Bill” in question is Bill Gates and I don’t know if he actually sat down and wrote all these rules but I suspect some genius with too much time got a whole bunch of quotes from Bill Gates and created this really cool list.
OR maybe the person just made all that stuff up and attached Bill’s name and face to it.

I don’t know.I’m just speculating.
It is very interesting to read though so take a second out of your day to go over it.

One thing I know for sure and one that requires absolutely no speculation on my part is that Disney is an awesome company and they usually have the most amazing sweeps.Right now they are running 3 text to win sweeps with really awesome prizes….

Valentine’s Day Has Been Cancelled….

Posted on February 14, 2012 by Mimi

Contrary to what you may have heard,Valentine’s Day has been cancelled this year.
Don’t believe me?
Check out this math:
This year’s valentine’s date is 14/02/12
14 – 02 – 12 = 0
So, sorry everyone but Valentine’s Day has been cancelled.
At least mathematically.

If you’re like me and you sucked at maths in school anyway, then you don’t believe any of that crap I just wrote above and you’re going to have an awesome day today – valentine or no valentine.

I’m personally really excited to see what my little dude brings me home from school.
Every single year since he started school he’s been bringing me a hand-made card and some candy and I’m not ashamed to admit that his card is the highlight of my day, every single year.

I hope you and yours – or you by yourself, have an amazing day today.
Go out and hug someone, reconnect with an old friend, go visit someone in your neighborhood or in the hospital who doesn’t have family to take care of them or simply smile at someone today.

New sweeps and freebies will resume tomorrow….for today though,treat yourself to something nice because you deserve it!Happy Valentine’s Day my dear!!!
