Advil Film Coated.

SO, as disclosed, I receive free stuff and then I need to write about it.  This past month I was a tester for Advil Film Coated. for Crowtap.  I received a sample for myself and then some to share with others.  All opinions are my own.  I was not compensated in any way other then product for my review.

My Little Helper!

Everyone loves a hangover right?  Oh wait...

So after the first amazing afternoon of beer drinking this summer, I woke up around 1:30 feeling like a 21 year old after the last final.  Owie my head.  Blurry and stumbling, I went on a search for something to fix the pounding head.  Remembering that I have received my Advil Film Coated samples, and that I had not put them away I located them on the kitchen table.  I took two, had some water and waited.  Ahh.  Sweet relief came about 15 minutes later, and within 45 minutes I was back asleep.  

Ahhh.

Next time, less beers, more water.  One of these day I'll learn!

Truth in Advertising

Here's the truth.

I am starting this blog for two reasons.  The number one reason is somehow I have gotten on about a billion mailing lists for a bunch of companies who keep sending my free stuff.  (Not a complaint!)  I've tested vitamins, cold medicine, breakfast shakes, two kinds of sunblock, countless yummy treats, gross treats, and a smattering of mascara and lipstick.  (Got a rash from one, I'll let you decide what product would be worse)

I get the the part of testing/review/whatever is to share all about your testing/reviewing/whatevering.  I have a blog link from my wedding 4 years ago that I share. Awesome.  Because that's that Coppertone was thinking when they send $50 worth of sunblock.  Emmy's wedding blog.  How we met, Directions to the Ceremony, Review of Sunscreen.

So here goes a try.  The other reason is I Love Blogs.  I read all kinds.  GOMI is a daily hit, I read that and then read all the blogs they talk about.  Why not share my way exciting life?  So as of right now, this is a work in progress.

So...  Here it goes.  A place to share about all the cool stuff (and sometimes not so cool stuff) I've gotten.  A place to sort my thoughts out on life.  And maybe a place to entertain people and make millions.  Or not so much.

Hello World! (could it be anything else)

I'm on  mission to become a better person.  This mission is one that will and is going to get sidetracked.  It's a mission that has been in the works for a few years, sometimes it's going awesome and other times not so much.  Maybe I'll share.  Maybe I won't.

I've found that if I put things to writing, they become true.  It's magic.  Not like "I wish I had a pony" and I go outside and find a pony on the lawn.  (What's that movie?  Elf but not in winter... you know the one?)  I find I hold myself accountable if I write things down.  I love lists.   So does my husband.  Sometimes we even get stuff on the list done.  Sometimes I write the list after I've done stuff so I can cross it off.

Here's my list for the next 48 hours using both techniques:

1.  Prep meals for the next few days.  Starting last weekend we long have days off together with any regularity.  I went shopping and I'm spending the afternoon as a prep cook.  3/4 meals started.  Nothing that is super time sensitive so if Pizza is calling or we get a little tipsy and have popcorn instead we aren't throwing things away.

2.  Plant the pile (yep) of plants on the deck somewhere.  Perhaps in the neighbor's hard because it's ugly.

3.  Stay up to date with my Nike+ workouts.  So far I'm behind and it's day two.  Gotta get on that.

4.  Go get my bathing suit from the gym where I left it yesterday.  Perhaps get #3 done at the same time.

5.  Practice my clipless pedals.  (Ug.)
