I cannot express in words how I felt when I saw Bush walk down those stairs and get in the helicopter. I truly believe that he has ruined parts of the last 8 years of my life, and every United States citizen. I also believe that today is the most historical event that I will witness in my lifetime. I am so proud to be from America today.

I had the chance to order personalized Fruit Roll-Ups for my husband as a Valentine’s gift, and I get to share a free code to one lucky winner here on my blog! Here are my pictures of the ones I ordered, they came out so cute!
Is that just so cool, or what? You get a whole box of them! I had to give them to him early of course and he just loved them. They make such a cute Valentine’s gift, but they can also be used for birthday’s and graduations coming up this year.

I can’t even put into words how much fun I had as being the Blog Mistress in the Bloghaus at Affiliate Summit West 2009. I had the opportunity to meet so many new people, and connect with people I have communicated with on Twitter for so long.
It was a wonderful experience and I really want to thank Missy Ward and Shawn Collins for having faith in me to represent them at Affiliate Summit West 2009. They are both truly wonderful people, and I am so glad I can call them friends now.
I have a few pictures I took throughout the event and instead of clogging up this post with pictures I thought I would just link to my Flickr sets. Enjoy!

I’ve written about the Web Hosting Geeks before on my blog, but I need to feature them again. They should be the first site you look at when you are considering webhosting for your website or blog.
They’ve added a new feature on their site called Green Web Hosting, and you all know how much I’m into the green technology movement. They are featuring Eco-Friendly Host, Solar/Wind Powered Host, and Carbon Neutral Host. How cool is that??!!
As a blog owner I’m sure you’ve come to a point where you need to find a new host for it. Either it’s because you’ve ran out of space, or you’re just out looking for a better deal. The first thing you should do is to ask your blogging friends about what hosting service they use. But then you need to double check their recommendation on Web Hosting Geeks.
They offer reviews of different hosting companies, and they also give you a chance to review/rate them directly on the site. They also include a section called Web Hosting Awards where they feature hosting companies in categories such as Best Budget Hosting, Best PHP Hosting, and Best Multiple Domain Hosting. They truly are that one-stop-shop type of place that you need to have bookmarked.
