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?
About Television and Your Family
and the biggeee…
So, if you don’t mind, oblige me please, especially on the Guest Posting ones, I need some assistance.
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…
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…
You can go to Facebook and check them out as well and even get involved and follow them on Twitter @affiniachicago
Go now, check them out, then tell me how much fun I”m going to have because the excitement is already building. Anyone ever felt like this is just the kind of rest and relaxation they need?
If you are headed that way in May, they have some special promotions right now http://www.affinia.com/Chicago-Specials.aspx. We have a really neat BBQ Bootcamp event with two celebrity Chefs, Marcus Samuelsson of C-House Restaurant & David Burke of David Burke’s Primehouse in The James Hotel.
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…
Go to Twitter By the Sea, go sign-up then come back and leave me your confirmation number and you get a $50 cabin credit. Don’t miss out!
This is how I feel right now, at 2 AM….
I’m attempting to make my sidebars pretty again and not so cluttered with ads, in the meantime…it’s 2 AM and….yea, I’m FAILING…
I’ve almost killed myself (brain wise – I didn’t break foot over it, but you know……
Here it is….go check out the feeds in each of the posts now….your one stop place to find All of Me, All Over the Web
You can read:
Other Internet Sites to Find Me
As well as catch all the blogs:
and even catch a Featured portion…as well as a post known as Headlines Today which will feature my Michelle Obama site as often as possible.
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!
Just so you know, this is not my official post for the day, I just thought I would hit you with some reminders……if you haven’t had enough of me, you can get more at 24/7 Moms

Where do you get the skills to relax, feel good, enjoy life? Or, are you like me, running in circles all the time? Yes, I know, I’m honing my skills for the ones out there who are out of control, but when I was approached about this give away, how could I turn it down? So, there’s a give away on my Mom~E~Centric blog for the items you see below as well as a list of other places you can find the contest to get more entries.
If you like football and wanna join in the fun, go to my blog on Mom~E~Centric and you can enter to win a huge Super Bowl Party Package from Pepsi
And, then, let’s see, there’s the fact that I am going to Blissdom ‘09 in Nashville…..anyone miss that?
I’ve never been to a blog conference and I can’t wait to meet all my bloggy friends. Are you going? If so, let me know so we can hook up while we are there!
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….
That’s one view…..
Here’s another
And, here’s what they look like on the finger, except this person has 3 of them, I only want one for one finger….
So, if you know where I can find one, please, shoot me an email or leave a comment here because I’m dying to find one.
If you haven’t had enough of me today, check me out over at 24/7 Moms…
Here we go…..all answers are in the archives of Mom~E~Centric, not any other of the many blogs I write or wrote.
Here’s the reminder of how it works:
1. I will post a trivia question with each item. Answers that can be found in my archives.
2. The first person to reply on THAT post for each question correct will win that particular prize. There will obviously be multiple prizes each having it’s own trivia question from my archives.
3. The contest will run through Tuesday December 16th at Midnight. If there are questions unanswered at Noon on December 16th, I will start dropping hints every hour until all questions are answered.
4. If any question is unanswered by midnight on December 16, I will use Random.org to pick a winner from all the wrong entries for that particular question and giveaway.
5. I will notify the winner and the sponsor as soon as the trivia question is answered correctly that way the sponsors can possibly get your gift to you before Christmas.
6. All winners will be notified for the final time on December 17th. I do want you to know that the USPS says that December 11th was the last day to mail to guarantee delivery before Christmas, so keep that in mind.
7. You can win as many times as you can answer correctly and you can enter as many answers on each question on each day as possible. (Remember, if the question is unanswered at midnight on December 16th, I will use Random.org to select a winner.
This is the final day of my December Give Aways, so the questions are a little harder, but the answers are definitely in this blog, in the archives, somewhere. Don’t give up, if no one gets the questions correctly, I will use Random.org to choose a winner.
