Technical difficulties

March 6, 2008 | Uncategorized

Sorry for the dearth of posts today, folks. I’m having some technical difficulties, by which I mean that my internet service provider would rather believe that my router, my computer, my children, and perhaps mythical leprechauns are at fault for my spotty internet connection rather than them.

Go figure.

Back later, hopefully with the head of someone who works at Charter.

I have no idea how this got here

November 8, 2007 | Uncategorized

Folks, sit tight please. Looks like my old provider is up and running, but my nameservers have been redirected so as far as I know, this is sort of impossible. Not sure what’s going on. But everybody hush up while I grab a backup and I’ll see if we can’t get restored for real in a jiffy.

UPDATE: Okay, the good news is that I have RETRIEVED ALL MY DATA. The bad news is that you’re gonna be on the rocky server-changing seas for a few more days yet. Hold on tight.

I think y’all crashed me

June 27, 2007 | Uncategorized

Hello! A bit of a service announcement:

I’m not sure what happened, but all of my posts from yesterday have mysteriously disappeared. Poof! Gone! I don’t know why or how, but I do know that the big Overstock dealio was cross-posted to a few other bargain sites (hello, SlickDealers! I see you!) and my traffic was a wee bit high yesterday, so it’s possible there was some sort of crash I missed and my hosting service restored at an earlier point. I have no idea.

All I know is that I did in fact holler down the stairs to my husband to confirm that I did, indeed, post yesterday. I sort of thought maybe it was just me.

Anyway! I’m going to repost the Barnes & Noble deal, and then we are off to make the long trek to Georgia (about 14 hours from here), so I’ll be gone the rest of the day.

Please try not to break the blog again, and turn off the lights when you leave. Thanks.

Talk amongst yourselves

March 27, 2007 | Uncategorized

Sorry for falling off the edge of the planet with no warning, my pretties. I am in the grip of a nasty flu and will likely not be posting for a couple of days.

Psssst

March 21, 2007 | Uncategorized

I’m traveling this week (you may have noticed I was, uh, not here today), so posting may be light. I’ll try to sneak in a few posts as I can, but apologies in advance for slacking off. I’ll make it up to you somehow, I swear.

Maybe I’ll bring you some nice little bottles of shampoo back.

Swiffer Sweepstakes

November 17, 2006 | Uncategorized, Hot Hot Hot!

Oh, Swiffer. Is there anything you can’t do?

So check out the Swiffer Holiday Home Tour Sweepstakes, running through December 30th. Go read the fine print, of course, but basically you’re invited to submit a photo of the interior of your home in return for a shot at fabulous prizes. (Or don’t submit a photo, and just say you want prizes!) Things like Swiffer products, or $3,500 towards a home makeover. (I want to say something snarky here about $3,500 being enough to make over a medium-sized closet, but really, it’s free money, so I’ll shut up.)

I’m intrigued, but a little bit afraid

Sign up to get a free Healthy Futures BG Bar™ Delicious.

From the page:

36 organic, wildcrafted and natural food products in every bar!

I’m not sure I know what “wildcrafted” means, and I’m also I try not to have more than, say, 20 different organics in a single bar, usually. But for free, I’ll try it out.

Extra savings at J. Crew

October 12, 2006 | Uncategorized

Through Friday, enjoy additional savings at J. Crew.

How cute is this?? And just $11.99 when you put it in your cart. I bet any little girl would love that, and her mom would probably be thrilled you didn’t buy her another toy like everyone else at the birthday party….

(This tip brought to you by J. Crew’s prettiest unpaid spokesblogger, Susan.)

Free razor for the guys

July 23, 2006 | Uncategorized

(Or, you know, another free razor for us, because I don’t know about you, but despite America’s best marketing efforts, I continue to be perfectly capable of shaving my legs with a razor that doesn’t have a pink handle….)

Available to U.S. residents only. Enjoy!
