New find

November 20th, 2008

Last night, I stumbled upon a website that I am so in love with. Some of you may love of it, too, some of you, it may not be your thing, but I HAD to share it, RIGHT NOW.

Nesting Place

Isn’t it beautiful?

(this is going to be a heavy posting day for me, I’ll be sharing WHY I’m feeling pressured to stop grieving and I’ll be hosting a HUGE giveaway from Home Depot and I’ll be writing on my other blog today, too.) busy, busy.

Now go look at that site, man.

Weak

November 19th, 2008

I have had one of the most difficult weeks that I have ever had. I don’t know why, well, I think I know why, but I’m so frustrated I can’t see straight. I have tried to deal with this on my own, I’ve tried to pretend, I’ve tried to flow with life as if I don’t want to crawl into a ball and cry all day and night long, but I think I can’t do it anymore. I’ve continued to be a wife, a mom, a daughter, a sister, a business owner, a writer, I’ve tried to be a friend, but all around? I think I’m failing, I have reasons for feeling this way that I CAN NOT go into because it’s not in me to do so (publicly), but right now? I’m not sure how to put one foot in front of the other. I’m sure I’m coming across as a shallow person, I swear I’m not, I’m just so tired of this (new) life. For months I’ve looked at bright sides and silver linings and I can’t find any right now.

I want to come here and write about it, but being my therapists must be getting old, hearing about ME must be getting old. I just feel like my time to grieve IS OVER, not just on this blog, but everywhere and I’m not ready for that to happen, but I’m thinking I have no choice.

I wish I were better at this, I wish I weren’t so weak, but I just…am.

Probably the best giveaway ever

November 18th, 2008

I’m just sayin’.

For those that read my blog, YOU KNOW my love and adoration for Seal. It’s deep and real and we’ve been together since I was 17, that’s a long relationship, you can deny that. Yes, it’s a relationship, if me knowing all of his songs and him spitting on me isn’t a relationship, I don’t know what it is.

Today I get to share my love with all of you.

I was asked to review his new album Soul. It’s very different from his usual albums, but his voice, you just can’t deny his amazing voice.

Today I am giving away Seal’s album, Soul, and a set of iPod retro mini speakers (courtesy of delight.com), and we will have TWO winners! (seriously, could those speakers be any cuter?)

I LOVE that two of you will be able to share the awesomeness that is Seal with me, whoever wins, you are more lucky than you could ever imagine. What do you need to do to win? Just leave a comment, right here. Contest ends on Thursday, November 20th at 9:00 p.m. CST. Winners will be chosen randomly and will be notified via email. Make sure your email address is correct! (US residents only…SORRY!)

But wait, you have other chances to win elsewhere:

An additional giveaway that One2One Network is sponsoring for ALL of us, will have lots of winners. The prizes are: 1st place=$200 gift card to Spafinder.com and Seal’s new CD, Soul; 2nd and 3rd place=$100 gift card to Spafinder.com and Seal’s Soul CD; 4th place Seal’s Soul CD (40 winners).

All entrants must email the url of the location they put the widget to me at arianne.segerman@one2onenetwork.com to be entered (you are entered by putting the widget in your review, and of course are welcome to additional entries the same as your readers). Contest ends Dec 1st.
