Geeks in Heat Event

Welcome to the Geeks in Heat Event!

Oh, I bet that got your eyeballs!
“SUMMER”. It means nerds in the summer, O challenged one,
gutter brain, thou.
Big Head Bob wants to
welcome everyone to the hot, clear, shiny, azure-skied days with open arms and short sleeves! And a few
funny shirt designs, of course.
Big Head Bob, home of fun shirts and stuff for gamers, fans and nerds,
started off the summer with a bang; a new design for the Fourth of July – “Let’s Blow Something Up!
Not just for the 4th, mind, as it doesn’t really come from firecrackers. It comes from a love of the TV show
Mythbusters, in which a ‘normal’ episode often includes some kind of (large) explosion.
Said BOOM is often pushed a bit beyond the envelope of safety (for the sake
of the fans, of course). Couple sticks of dynamite, a wad o’ C4, dash of this, propane tank that… Recipe for
‘Large Bang’! Where else could you watch people trying to blow up a house with a truckload of
popcorn?
Good clean summer fun, although they keep saying “don’t try this at home,
you kids.”
For Big Head Bob, the first sign of ramping up for the summer came with their
Towel Day design. Summer =
beaches, tans, pools, the outdoors, sweat, water bottles – that kind of thing. So, a towel goes with all that,
and every hitchhiker in the galaxy should be so equipped.
SUMMER is officially ON, so put a smile on your face and start having FUN!
Vacation is a way of life, in your mind, all the time.
To get everyone else in happy summer mood Big Head Bob is offering 25% off
EVERYTHING.
Just use the code: smartmom
Now, where did I leave my shades AND on to the giveaway!
Two lucky winners will each receive a $50 Big Head Bob eGift
Code!
Organized by: Mom Powered Media
With a special thank you to our co-host: Baby Costcutters, Mom to Bed By 8, Powered by Mom, Java John Z's, and Giveaway Booster
This giveaway is open to US residents and ends July 12, 2013 at 11:59pm

FTSF~The best fourth of July

Finish the Sentence Fridays
The best 4th of July I ever had was...
...any I can spend with my extended family.  Even if it drives me nuts.  Which is strange, because it's usually my family that drives me nuts.

Anyhow.  If you're reading this post, you haven't hopped through the linky yet, because I'm not actually linked up this week!  What?!?  Stop the presses!  I linked up my Guest Post over at Krystle's blog: Life Revolves Around Them.  Tricked ya!  Krystle had the nerve to go on vacation. Bah.  Who needs those?  Oh, that's right, I'll be taking a bloggy vay-cay next week!  Anyone want to GP HERE?  Let me know!

What made the best 4th of July you've even had special?  Link it up below.
We're taking a break next week.  Enjoy the 4th!

Five Among Friends, Week 3

Five Among Friends
This week's questions are brought to you by: Dawn from Dawn's Disaster.

Questions:
1.  Who is the person that made you do the dumbest thing?  What was it?
The dumbest thing I ever did was bet my good friend about sleeping with our personal trainer.  My friend was Lanaya (not Raising Reagan Lanaya, a different one) and she thought she was all that and a double bag of chips.  So, when we joined a gym, she bet me that she could sleep with her trainer sooner than I could mine.  Ha!  I showed her.  Not only did I sleep with the guy, I married him!!  Take THAT for stupid.  Ok, so the fact that I met my husband that way wan't really stupid, but the betting was.  Especially since now that's the story I have to tell when people ask how we met.  EMBARRASSING!

2.  What was the FIRST job you ever had?
The first job I had was in a coffee shop.  That didn't last long.  First, I don't drink coffee.  Second, I don't like the smell.  Third, I didn't like my boss and he didn't like women.  Forth, I quit one day, on the spot because he made me clean the bathroom.  I was 15 and didn't realize the boss could tell me to do that.

3.  When do you relax and how do you do it?
I relax when I sleep.  Seriously, that's when I do it.

4.  Where was your most memorable date?  Who was it with?
The most memorable date I ever went on with NOT with the Hubs, sorry, honey.  It was with a guy we'll call NUMBER1.  He was my first love.  Not the first guy I dated, but the first one I really thought I was in love with.  It was Valentine's Day and he got me a crap-ton of purple roses.  Purple is my "favorite" color.  I had never seen purple roses before, and quite frankly, didn't think they existed until that day.  His dad owns a flower shop, so that's how he got them...and SO many of them.  I don't even know how many he got.  I know that it helped his dad's business, too.  He didn't carry them before then, only for special requests.  Since NUMBER1 ordered them and they needed to be kept in a fridge, they were in the shop and people kept asking for them.  NUMBER1's dad had over 100 requests for them in 2 days.  He almost sold my Valentine's Day gift!  Looking back, I'm surprised he didn't.  I know one client offered him a TON of money for them.  Anyhow, NUMBER1 made me a candlelit dinner and we watched some movie.  I have no clue what the movie was, because I'm fairly sure we had stopped watching it by the time it started.  So, that's my most memorable date, in a nutshell.

5.  Why do you blog?
I blog because it is my escape from the Beanie Babies and the Hubs.  For an hour or two a day, I get to sit at my computer and IGNORE them.  Does that make me a bad mommy?

So, I'd love for you to participate!  Leave me the link to YOUR answers in MY comments and I'll stop by.  Also, check out theses other great answers:

20 Tuesdays in 2013.4


Ah!  I wrote this whole post and it's GONE!  Where did you go, my beautiful post?  I guess I need to start over again :(


I will never forget...

...to brush my teeth.  This wasn't my original post, but it will do.  I will never forget to brush my teeth because I hate bad breath.  I may wait until the day is mostly over, but I will always brush those suckers.

...to take the side of the Beanie Babies.  I know they will have some issues throughout their lives, but it is my job to stand by them.  To believe that they did was right.  To help them overcome whatever it is they need help with.

...to be a helpful person.  I have strayed before, but I am not longer going to forget.  It's too important to be helpful.  Not only for me, but for the other person/people, too.  It's good for the Universe.

Now, you tell me what you will never forget?
