Spamblog epidemy?

I just dropped by the Romance Divas a few minutes ago, and many of the authors who have their blogs with Blogger are complaining that somehow their blogs have been reported as a spam blog and now there are blocked and locked. WTF?! Either there is a sicko around flagging blogs as spam or Blogger robots are screwed up. If it's the first, that's one fucked-up joke. If it's the latter, Blogger better solve this problem pronto. Many authors depend of their blogs for publicity, and it can be costing them $$$ in the long haul.

Walmart and I "green"

Well, in this case, it's black. Heh! A couple of weeks ago I found out about Wal-Mart's reusable bags on their shopper, but when I went to buy one, they were out of stock (which it's a good thing since it shows people becoming more environmentally conscious). So it wasn't until today I was able to get my own. Isn't it a cutie? *wg* I wish it were slightly bigger and the bottom had a plastic support. Still, I love it. *g* So today's big shout goes to Wal-Mart for doing their part in helping the environment. Now, what are you waiting for? Get your own!

Awaiting Acheron with anticipation

Did you all see the book trailer for Sherrily Kenyon's Acheron? *wg*

Sweet scents, oh my...

Do you like candles? I admit that I'm not a "candle person." You know, the kind that has candles around, decorating their homes. A lot of people are. Not me. However, when it comes to scented candles, I have a kind of a "sweet" nose for them. Hahaha! But don't give me floral scented ones. Can't stand them! I'm quite peculiar when it comes to scented candles. This afternoon I dropped by Walgreens on my way to home and found they had most scented candles at very reduced prices. For $1.59 each, I bought... Kathy Ireland Home Solution Scented Soy Candle Vanilla-Butter-Cream Tiny Temptations Candle: Creamy Orange Frosted, and... ... Rich Creamy Chocolate These soy candles have the most provocative aromas that ever graced my nose.

Happy 4th. of July!

First of all, to all my dear American friends, happy 4th! Glitter Graphics & Comments Hope you all had a great day! Me? I had a very quiet day. In the early afternoon, I went by Borders to pick a copy of Christina Dodd's 2nd. book in the Darkness Chosen series, Touch of Darkness. Although I wasn't crazy about the first book, I still like the concept of the heroines having to find the icons and save Konstantino, the father of heroes, so I decided to give it a second chance. Then I dropped by Walgreens and bought some snappers and sparklers. So tonight I sat on the terrace, eating some of the cake I bought yesterday while the sparklers lit my backyard. (Yep, I set them all up in the gravel and lit them!) There was something soothing about sitting in the dark, eating cake, and watching the sparklers illuminate the night. Don't know why... Heh! Oh, and yes, I did crack some snappers as I was celebrating New Year's Eve. Hahaha! Right now I was searching around the web and look what I found. A bridal dress for those who marry on this day. And yes, it's a wedding dress! It said so in the website where I got this pic. Would you go as far as getting married on this gown? I wonder...

Going green (part 3)

Today I dropped by Walgreens to buy some vitamins and was (wonderfully) surprised to see they have the "green bags" on displayed. And all I can say is...it's about time! I didn't mind the recycle plastic bags because at least they were, well, recyclable. But still... it was such a waste of material. These green bags are a better way to protect the environment, and they're very eco-friendly because you can use re-use them. If they get dirty, you can wash them. BTW, they advertise this green bag is water repellent, preventing foul odors or bacteria. Nice, uh? And when they get old, you can recycle them because they're 100% recycle. How's that for environmentally friendly? *wg* I'm so glad Walgreens is getting more conscious about the environment and starting to use the green bags. Besides, they're cheap, only 99 cents, which you pay only once anyway. Now I'm the proud owner of a green bag. Hehehe! I wonder if I can get Borders and Kmart to allow me to use it too. *g*

When it rains, it pours

You know how the saying goes. Well, I meant it literally. For almost three months we'd not had a single drop. Today it started raining after mid-day and didn't stop until almost 8:00 pm. The parking lot was flooded. There was a good 3 inches of water in some areas. Luckily, I didn't park in my usual spot, where most of the water accumulates. But that was the only lucky part of my day. Honestly, I'd I wouldn't have minded all the rain except I had to work until 7:30 pm. I got all wet trying to Burger King for something to dine. Thank goodness I didn't have a workshop to give.
