Julie's Journal

Back at the beginning of February Jen at jgoode.com wrote a post called Wear Red Today and Get A Love Button For Shouting It Out. All you had to do was leave a comment on her blog and she would send you a Love Button and donate 1.00 to the American Heart Association.

I met Jen at Affiliate Summit West here in Las Vegas back in January and she is a really sweet and nice person. so I wanted to give her back a little love today and show you the Love Buttons I received in the mail. Thanks Jen, and I’m looking forward to seeing you again at Affiliate Summit East. Let’s hang out more!

You can visit her store at JGoodeDesigns.com – she has the cutest things ever!

Times are tough, and not too many people are even thinking about going on vacation this summer let alone planning one. Here’s a chance to win a trip to Kissimmee Florida. Kissimmee is located in Central Florida and just a few miles away from Orlando.

There is a lot to do in Kissimmee like golfing, fine dining, shopping, or visiting a water park, but more importantly there is a lot of things to do in Kissimmee that are free! For a nature buff like me, I would like to hit up some of these free parks and hiking trails.

• Lake Lizzie Nature Preserve
• Osceola County Environmental Center
• Bull Creek
• Prairie Lakes
• Three Lakes
• Triple N Ranch
• Lake Tohopekaliga
• East Lake Toho

Make sure to enter the Kissimmee Freedom to Enjoy Sweepstakes for a chance to win one of three (3) weekend getaways (3 days/2 nights) for two (2); and two (2) weeklong vacations for four (4). Drawings will be held on or around 4/1/09, 5/1/09 and 6/1/09. I just entered and I would love to win a trip. I really need a vacation. Who’s going with me?

I’ve been walking everyday for a full week now. I’m trying to lose inches off my waistline and get back into the size 5 jeans I have worn all my life now. I recently had to buy size 7′s and I’m not too thrilled about it. I need to lose about 10-15 pounds I think, but more importantly about 5 inches off my waistline.

Yesterday we went to a park by our house that has a walking trail. Along the trail are exercise stations. We stopped at each one, and I carefully followed the beginners instructions. I must be in pretty bad shape because today I am sore sore sore! I’m going to wear a bikini this summer if it kills me, and I don’t care how old I am.

Here I am being a monkey:

Here I am acting like I am in the Olympics:

I’m not a big gambler, but when we do go to the casino you can usually find me playing the slots. I do know a lot of people who gamble online though so this ones for you! I got the chance to build buzz for the www.allaboutslots.com so if online slots are your thing, go check them out.

They cover all kinds of information on slots regarding the types of machines, how to play each slot machine, and tips on how to win. They also have slot machine history, slot rules, and slots strategies. I know slots have always had a bad rap on ever winning at them, but did you know that the odds you will have betting at the slots are comparable to those at the roulette wheel?

Here is their list of the top five online slots you can play even if you live in the U.S. Are you playing at any of these? Maybe you should be.

1. Golden Casino
2. Online Vegas
3. Rushmore
4. Cherry Red
5. Slots Oasis

While you’re there also check out the downloads page. They list free software supplied by the best online casino gaming software companies out there, so you know they can be trusted.

I’m all about hygiene, and the products and supplies that provide them. Hygiene Supplies Direct carries hand dryers to safely dry your hands without the use of paper towels. Not only is this good for the environment, it’s also sanitary. They also carry other heating products like panel heaters. With the use of panel heaters you can provide rapid heat and accurate temperature control at the flick of a switch. Panel heaters are suitable for any home office workplace.
