trying to get a job at bzzagent

I've spent quite a LOT of time over the past few weeks trying to get a job at bzzagent. They are running a contest of sorts. The first 8 weeks of it are very contest-y, but not in a random way.. then they will legitimately select (based on resumes, etc) one person out of the 8 for the job.

The first week I was literally about 2 minutes away from winning. I was first, first, first for so long. I stayed up til about 2am on the finally day. (the "winner" for the week was the top person at 9am) Then I just couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. I decided to take a little nap and set my alarm for 6am to keep going with it. Well I bolted awake at about 8:36am.. swearing! 

I "fought off" the number 2 person for about 20 minutes, but they were just posting links way way too fast and when I reloaded the ranking one final time at about 8:58.. she had passed me! Needless to say I was unbelievably upset.

I'm trying again this week.. but they have so many new rules each week, I don't know how much patience I have left with it. 

it's a blog party

I just found out about another interesting blog thing going on. Lots of interesting blogs, lots of prizes being given away.

It would be amazing to win #58.. a Kitchen Aid Artisan Stand Mixer! But any of the Target gift cards (19, 21, 22, 26, 91) or the Old Navy gift card (118) would be really nice too.

Check it out when you get the chance.. you don't have to be a mom, or even a parent to enter.

spring fling!

woah, how cool is this? The Secret Is In The Sauce has 307 (at last count) links to blogs that are giving stuff away today. And all you have to do is comment on the the contest offerer's blog.

tokidoki and the moofia

I discovered the Tokidoki blog today. I don't know, I have probably discovered it before but just forgotten about it. I came across it while on the search for the Moofia. I've looked at them for a few years, but still have yet to purchase any. They are $7 directly from tokidoki, but there is a store locally that sells them for $6.99.. so I could save a penny AND not pay for shipping.

I also found on their blog that there is a tokidoki capsule store opening in New York City on March 7th. This was somewhat exciting to me as I seem to find myself in that city about once a year now.

I went to passive-aggressive notes online after coming across the book version on amazon while I was ordering a ridiculous book for my husband's birthday. Not that I wanted to buy him a ridiculous book.. he thinks lolcats are funny and I do not.

Anyway.. passiveaggressivenotes.com is actually really funny. I love this kind of thing.. reminds me of Found. Except maybe Passive Aggressive notes is better because it's all just notes. Funny weird notes.
