….Now is the time to return the favor. Actually two favors.
I’ve entered into a contest to win a Wii! An OMG Wii. An OMG never in stock in our stupid stores fucking WII people. Please go rate my video as high as you can (or as low as you want – but its a fucking good movie, so rate it properly!) I want a Wii people. Really bad. Personally, I think my video rocks!
The second favor I ask of you pertains to this :
THE Dawg is holding a vote to see which Teddy Bear Steff gets. My choice is NOT in the lead.Click on this adorable Prince Charming bear and be magically taken to casa del NYCWD where you can leave a comment – and thus a vote – on your favorite bear. There are three different bears to choose from, and to be fair I will not tell you which adorable bear I fell in love with.
A few days ago I commented on a blog. Not a shocking activity for a blogger, is it? The neat part about my comment was that it cemented my involvement in the Pay it Forward Movement. I’ve seen Pay It Forward posts around the net for a while now, and thought it was a great idea.
What happens is you write a post, much like I am doing, but with different words – and maybe some pictures. Everyone who does not have dial up loves pictures! During your post you mention Pay It forward and specify which comments will be involved.
In my case, I have chosen comments number 3, 5 and 8. Do they seem random? they aren’t. Random would be choosing negative sixteen, eighty four and nine billion and one. If you are commenter number 3, 5 or 8 I will request your snail mail address and send you something, BUT you have to do the same on your blog.
Thus, if you decide to leave a comment, and you happen to be 3, 5, or 8 and do not want to play, please make a note of it in your comment!

In other news, Hubs is picking up his PSP tonight after work, so I will be bored and on the interwebs waiting for you to entertain me. There had better be cotton candy and balloon animals!
A lot of you know that I do paid post here and on other sites. Mainly on other sites. On Where Was I, Hubs and I need to do G rated commercial for a company called bed in a box. They are a company that sells memory foam mattresses and the platforms they go on.
If the company likes our commercial our prize is a queen size mattress and bed – a value of almost 2000.oo.
I won’t embarrass myself by telling you how old my bed and mattress are now.. but my husband has known the mattress for a lot longer than he has known me. And we met in ‘96.
I want a new bed dammit!
…but we have no idea what to do for this video. There are no guidelines other than it must be G rated.
ANY suggestions are welcome.
pee ess: anyone who wants to help edit the video say AYE
FIRST! A few things about the contest. I fit a size seven in the stores here at home, but a 5.5 in their sizes, so serious, measure your feet! Are they 9 5/16 inches long? Second. Has everyone who wanted, gotten my home address? If not, email me; bluepaintred@gmail.com !
Schmoozing as defined by Dictionary.com is the ability “to converse casually, especially in order to gain an advantage or make a social connection.” When it comes to blogging, schmoozing is your ticket to making new friends, getting yourself noticed and building a reputation. Some bloggers are gifted with the ability to effectively schmooze and others not so much.
But me? Hell yea I’m a Schmoozer! Or ass kisser, whatever, same thang!
My dear blogging buddy Squirrel told me so. Why would she lie?
Here are the Schmooze rules:
1. If you receive The Power of Schmooze Award, write a post with links to 5 blogs that have schmoozed you into submission.
2. Link to this post and Mike so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme.
3. Optional: Proudly display the ‘Thinking Blogger Award’ or the ‘Power of Shmooze Award’ with a link to the post that you wrote (here is an alternative silver version if gold doesn’t fit your blog
My pick of five of the best Schmoozers, who intentional or not have successfully Shmoozed me into submission!:
1. Avitable. I tried not to fall for him. I really did. But sex? With a snake? Woah. Ever since that post, I’ve been hooked – and have spent considerable time eying my snakes. It’s OK. I think they are too small…
2. Sheila. There is something about Sheila that hits close to home with me. I’m not sure what it is, but I feel almost like she is me or I am her ..or something. It’s OK. I’m not that kind of stalker Sheila!
3. Fracas. I started reading her just becuase I found out we live fifteen minutes away. I sort of might have wanted to “spy” on someone I might get to see in a grocery store or..something, you know? But I ended up reading her posts, and shes so eclectic! From one day to the next, Who knows what Fracas will toss your way!
4. Shelli. Yeah. You know it girl!
5. Webmiztris. She does drugs and smokes and drinks and has no kids and loves cats and some days… I just want to be who she is.. I Publish Postlike to live vicariously through her blog!
The end. Now go measure your fucking feet!
See these shoes? Aren’t they cute?
I got them in the mail yesterday. Unfortunately I ordered the wrong size. Well. Not the wrong size. I ordered the size I always get in the shoe stores here. But Really, If I had paid attention to the size chart they supplied, I would have been fine.
Naturally I did not pay attention! I was too OMG Shoes! Cute shoes With heels! And a bow! to pay attention.
This is where you come in. Do you like the shoes? Do you want the shoes? Do you start to salivate at the mere thought of them gracing your feet? Because you can have them. No really. You can. All you have to do is email me at bluepaintred at gmail dot com and ask for my address.
Why do you need MY address you ask? Because this is a contest. I need anyone who wants these cute and adorable shoes to snail mail a birthday card to Sheri at my address. Signed with your name. Or nick. Whichever.
Sheri is my sister. She is turning thirty-one on August 25th. She has spent most of the past three months in an out of the hospital with a donor kidney that wants to reject. Bad kidney! BAD!
And. Since the shoes don’t fit me, on August 15th, I will have one of the kids draw a card from a box, and that card will win the shoes. Because! Yay! Shoes! Shoes this cute do not deserve to sit on a shelf! They need to be loved and worn and caressed and *sigh* Shoes…
See! You all win. Wait. No. Only one of you wins, But my sister will have a little more birthday cheer, which in turn, cheers me up!
Here is their Size Chart. Measure your foot in inches. See if they will fit you. or someone you know who also loves shoes! Pimp this sucker out on your blogs! Know a shoe whore? Tell them about this contest!!
So. Lets recap. Get my address. Mail me a card for my sister’s birthday, signed by you. From all of the cards received by August tenth, the winner will be chosen! Very simple!
Oh. And should you want to send Sheri a Birthday card, just becuase it will make me happy, you can do that too!
