I'm keeping this post short today because I've got a lot I've got to get done. I don't know how it is Thursday already. This week started off great, but it seems to be on a downward slide. Here is to keeping my fingers crossed for a good weekend.
Today I went to Wal Mart and I gave in to the call of the plant section. So little Logan and I are on our way outside to plant some plants or they won't get put in their pots. I'll be posting pix to share with you later. So my quesiton for you today is, are you planting anything or buying any spring hanging baskets? I'd love to hear how you are celebrating the return of spring.
Hope you are having a great day in your neck of the woods!

Who doesn't love free stuff?
Today I wanted to share about a really cool program I recently found out about. I received an email from Old Navy asking me if I'd like to be part of their style council. It sounded like a really cool program, so I signed up. Old Navy has a group called Crowdtap who is coordinating the program for them, as well as programs for other companies.
The website is neat because once you join, you can log in and participate in short polls they call "Quick Hits". The ones I've seen are multiple choice so they take no time to do and sometimes you can win money doing it. Just the other day I won $1. Once you reach ten dollars you can cash out. They also make a donation to a charity you choose. I chose the Red Cross because I know they do such good work and they are helping in Japan right now, among other places.
The thing I'm excited about is that you can get some really cool free products from companies. Last week some folks who were in Crowdtap got coupons for a free dress from Old Navy. Unfortunately, I didn't get that one, but I can't wait to see what I get when they roll out their next program. Other companies I've seen mentioned on the site are: Playtex and Entenmanns, Goldfish, and as well as some other companies not mentioned by name (i.e. leading spirits company). I'd love to get free stuff from them.
You can only join Crowdtap by invitation. So, I wanted to invite any of you who might be interested to join. Disclaimer that it does help me out if you join under me - help me level up folks so I can qualify for Old Navy's cool stuff next time. LOL Crowdtap If you do join, I'd love to know if you get picked for any neat programs or free stuff.
Hope you are having a great day in your neck of the woods!

You're Engaged! No foolin.
Today is a very special day to me. 11 years ago today, dh proposed to me. I'll never forget that day. It was a beautiful day, the temps were getting close to 70 degrees and lots of sunshine. A farmer's market had opened and I wanted to go. So dh drove, but he decided to take a detour to the state capitol.
The capitol is on the way to the farmer's market, so I thought nothing of it. He suggested we take a walk. I should back up and say that at the time, we both worked for different state government agencies that were in that area. So, to me would could be taking a walk through the farmer's market and come back to the capitol any time, but I thought I'd humor him.
We came to the large set of steps that goes up the side of the building and walked up. There was a family up there. There were hanging around and I noticed dh seemed very annoyed they were there. Finally they went inside and we were alone. All of a sudden he drops down on one knee and proposes. I was floored. I knew he would propose at some point, but I had no clue it would be at that point.
So the rest of the day was spent going to visit my family and his family. No farmer's market that day. LOL
I guess you could say he was a fool in love. One thing about getting proposed on for April Fools Day is you never forget the date.
I hope you are having a great day in your neck of the woods!
