Tell me about yourself?

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

I hate when I see the same ol’ ads coming through twitter every few minutes.  Even if the link is different, if it is the twitter person, I am not amused. 

So, for  you, all my dear sweet friends, I’m asking you to take the following polls….yea all of them please…or just one….doesn’t matter…

Ok, demographics – please?

Parents?

About Television and Your Family

So, if you don’t mind, oblige me please, especially on the Guest Posting ones, I need some assistance.

Friday, April 24th, 2009

Sometimes life is really complicated and there are no easy answers.  And, others, there’s nothing like some rest and relaxation that can make you feel wonderful.  And, when I think about sitting back and relaxing, I definitely see places like this in my dreams…

C-view-02

Doesn’t the serenity of that photo just make you wanna lay your head back and enjoy the view.  And, when you’ve finally taken in all you can on this rooftop, head back to your room where you’ll find pillow service…ahh, pillow service…

An Update of Sorts – No Electricity!

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

Unfortunately I am in the belt of folks in Alabama who have been without electricity since Sunday.  I am at a local McD’s right now letting my kids play and using the wi-fi. 

I am about to get as many winners as I can get so I can announce them and get you the prizes in the mail when I receive shipping addresses.  I can always be reached at jareason at gmail dot com if you want to ask me something as my phone as email capabilities. 

In the meantime, please hang on while I wait on some electricity at home…no electricity means no DSL modem and naturally the laptop batter wouldn’t have lasted this long anyway.  My husband did hook me up to the car battery last night for a while but not long so I didn’t do much. 

In the meantime, feel free to carry on and I’ll shoot you when I get back…

Where to find me.

Thursday, January 15th, 2009

I’ve been eluding to some upcoming secrets.  And, the time is now for me to unveil yet another one of those secrets.  Below you will find 3 of my secrets…..I have new blogs…as if that is something new to you guys, but here they are anyway…

 

Jerri Ann Reason  a magazine/newspaper site where my blogs are all collaborated so you can see where I”m writing each day and what I’m writing about, this site has only been up 3 or 4 days so it is a work in progress, bare with me please

Media Critiques  Not your normal media coverage, this is my ideas of how there media went wrong…or sometimes where they went right…critiques don’t have to all be negative

Parenting Sites 411  where can you find the most comprehensive information about all the parenting sites online?  You got it, right here

So, bare with me as I get them off the ground, ok?  Give me a read, leave me some comments, lend some support, pat me on the back and say something besides, “you idiot”.  Ok?  Thanks

Then, there’s a blog that I’ve had for a few months but have neglected.  I hope to start working on it more often too, go give it a read if you have time…and hey, comments make me feel good.

Wentworth Miller yes, he is the most beautiful man on TV right now and maybe all of Earth,  I need to write about him more

Then, there’s my personal blog which is close to a year old but it has some great stuff going on over  there and some of it is free stuff.  Go check it out.

Mom~E~Centric   my personal blog that contains endless stories of my children, my husband, my family, my pet peeve, etc – you name it, I’m good to go

Then, my 2 already successful 451 Press blogs…

TV Boyfriends  this one is exactly as it sounds, it is about men who you see on TV who would make a good boyfriend or whose character would make a good boyfriend

Mom is Teaching  this is site is about teaching our children, homeschooling them, online homeschools, public schools, as well as other educators like parents, ministers, fireman, policeman, etc

And the one 451 Press blog that I have had but am struggling to build, so please, come see me, help me make it work…

Mental and Emotional Health  this blog is just as it seems, it is about mental and emotional stability and health

Then you have the two blogs that I use for celebrity gossip and advertising…that’s about it for these two…

Life in Reality  a blog used primarily for celebrity news and advertisements, seriously thinking of changing the name of this blog to reflect the news of someone who is new in our eyes but we will probably see all over the net

A Crack ‘n Life   this was my personal blog, I ended up password protecting that side of the blog and now it is dedicated to celebrity gossip and writing advertisements

And, finally, my two blogs that have flopped thus far….

Education Uncensored  a blog dedicated to the locals in my area and our school systems (not building very quickly so ideas are welcome)

The Reason for the Madness the blog that will one day compile the stories that will make a book that I can publish

As you can see, that’s a lot of blogging.  So, please, by all means, join me, email me your latest blog fodder in ay of the above categories.  I promise you, it will just almost certainly make it on the blog with a link back to you.  So, if you have fodder and a link, I have a fodder and a backline.  Come on, let’s go, help a girl out!

Ok, I still have one work in progress so you will have to continue to hold your breath and wait on it (as if anyone cares enough about what I do to hold their breath).

Finally, I’m sure that most of you know that I am not a big fashion guru, nor do I try to make many fashion statements, however, I saw this ring on my cousin’s wife’s hand at the wedding a month ago and I emailed to ask her where she got it because people, I.HAVE.TO.HAVE.ONE.OF.THESE.  So, be on the look out, if you know where I can find one, please, let me know….
