CarMD! A cars life saver!

I got this kit through BzzAgent.com and the CarMD campaign I signed up for. It comes with the handheld device, the bag, computer USB cable, an extension cable, CD, a booklet to get me started, and a membership to the website. This entire kit is available on the website for $164.00. It makes an excellent Christmas gift for a car person. If you follow this link: carmd.com/bzz  you'll receive a $30 discount. I recently purchased a used ford focus and the check engine light was on. I found where the device plugs into my car, used the extension cable and tried it out. It found 9 different codes. I then plugged it into the computer and the reports told me exactly what's wrong with my car and approximately how much it will be to fix it. It saves my dad (who fixes my car) the trouble of looking for the problems and also saves him time since he works a lot. It is such a life saver and I'm going to get one for my Dad for Christmas! (Oh and its super awesome because it also works on my moms car and dads truck, BONUS!)

I'm a bzzagent spreading the word about CarMD! Go try it for yourself!

Home, Sweet Home!

            I am so happy to be home. I just have to find places to put all of my stuff. I seem to just accumulate more and more stuff. I need to learn to not hold on to everything. I'm not really a pack-rat, I just don't throw things out when I know I won't use them. But I don't just keep random broken junk (at least not for long). I am trying to get rid of things I don't need and trying to become less materialistic. I feel that this will make me a more free person and in doing that, I'll be able to enjoy life more than I have in the past. When you're not worried about little worries, you can enjoy lifes small wonders. Like hanging out with your nephew all day so your sister can do homework. Yeah, he's like 2 1/2 and he's a brat most of the time but he's also really amazing. I've been able to watch him grow since he was born, he is growing sooo fast, I can't believe it. It's really a miracle to me. And now, I there is another baby on the way. One of our friends is pregnant and I can't wait! I get to babysit when (hopefully SHE) is born, though I'll be fine if it's a boy. I'm super excited. Anyways, since I'm going to be watching my nephew in the morning and he likes to get up early, I had better get to bed. Night.
Thanks for reading.

Again...I'm up way too late.

          Of course, I can't sleep...again. I'm tired but I know it'll be just like last night where I just toss and turn for hours and get crappy sleep. I guess I'll have to wait until I'm back home (which is in less than 24hrs) to try and fix my sleep schedule or at least get it back to somewhere near normal. I'm so excited to be going home. Finals week plus the excitement of going home has tired me out. I had my hardest exam this morning, I finished the 2hr exam in 1hr. Granted, I didn't know how to do the last 2 problems but it's math, I can't just fake it. I tried and we'll see where it gets me. Hopefully, it gets me a replaced test grade and a nice exam grade for a good old A on my transcripts. One can only hope. Most of my stuff is packed and ready, I just have to strip my bed in the morning and take care of some loose odds and ends, then my last exam of the semester and I get to load up and hit the road to home. Which is a 2.5 hr drive...it's gonna be a long one especially if it's all snowy and stuff. I really am not a winter girl, at all. That's a good book btw, Winter Girls. I can't remember the author but I know I liked it.
       
           So, on another note, I'm a BzzAgent for bzzagent.com and it's amazing. You get free samples or really good deals on things like CarMD, a device that reads your cars computer and tells you what is wrong with it. Like when your check engine light comes and you're like "Noooooo!!!!!" Yes the moment of dread when you realize something is wrong and you need to get it checked out, well this little baby is supposed to help you by telling you what is wrong so you can find out faster, buy cheap parts and then if you have to take it to a mechanic, it's a lot cheaper because all you have to pay him for is the labor. Which, I know, can be expensive because my dad is a heavy machinery mechanic and I work with him in the summer time. It's an interesting job and I get to meet a lot of nice people. Anyways, back on track, so far I'm a part of 4 'campaigns', Maybelline Baby Lips and Lots of Lashes LOL, Smarterer, Private Selection Frozen Food, and CarMD. I haven't been able to try the food yet because the bzzkits are sent to my home address and I haven't been home since Thanksgiving to get the coupons, but that is one of my top priorities when I get home and settled. That and seeing my wonderful boyfriend, Eric. Who for some reason puts up with me and loves me even when I'm being a jerk. He's amazing. =] I am super excited for the CarMD kit because it can be used on all 3 of the cars we own, including my dad's truck that he uses for work, which makes the (nicely discounted) $56, an amazing deal. He might even be able to use it on the trucks he works on. Also, it's sort of his Christmas present. I like to get people things that are useful and not just fluff. Sometimes I succeed and most of the time, I don't. I'll figure it out one day, maybe when I have more resources. Also, I have two previous blog posts, one about the Maybelline campaign and the products I received and one for the smarterer website. Check them out and see what you think. I just wanted to let everyone know that being a BzzAgent is pretty awesome, you should all give it a try.

Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Late Night Thoughts

         So, I've been trying to sleep for a while and I read somewhere that if you don't fall asleep within 5-10 minutes of laying down, you should get up and do something boring. Well, my problem is that I keep thinking. This is one of those times where my brain just won't just itself down and stop bothering me. At first, I was thinking about my room at home and what it will be like to have a loft bed instead of a normal bed like I've had my entire life. Then I remembered the times when there have been spiders on my ceiling and I'm terrified of spiders. With a loft bed I'll be very close to the ceiling and possibly those dreadful spiders. That though put the image of spiders in my head which made it impossible for me to keep my eyes closed, so forget falling asleep.
          I then thought about my experience here at college. I thought I would come here, live with my best friend and become semi-friends with my two other roommates. Boy was I wrong. Our roommates made it really difficult for my best friend to live in this room and I was going to move out with her except I had this feeling that our new roommate would be worse so I went with the old saying, "Better the evil you know that the evil you don't know" or something like that. Turns out me staying here was better than moving because her new roommate is horrible and confrontational at that. After my friend moved out, I thought things got better but I was wrong again, they still refuse to talk to me other than "I'm turning the lights off." Which of course doesn't give me much of an option. C pretty well seems to strongly dislike me, for instance, she always seems to be mad when I'm around and slamming doors. It's pretty childish and stupid. I think she was mad that I was occupying her futon in the living room, but she brought it here and that means that everyone in the room should be able to use it, not just her and E. Plus I wanted to watch TV since normally I don't get to. Though normally I'm not here very much but I had to stay here this weekend so TV and studying for finals it was. I just don't understand and probably never will understand why they don't like me and why they didn't like Nina. It just doesn't make sense, they didn't try to be friendly or get to know us. Everyone I talk to doesn't get it either. So I'm stumped. Anyways, I get to leave here (and them) on Thursday afternoon and I don't ever have to come back. I think I've been slightly depressed since I came here because I miss Eric and I miss home and with my roommates the way they are, they make me want to leave even more. Only four more days. I can handle that. The majority of my stuff is packed and the rest will be packed by Thursday before my exam at 2.

         Speaking of exams, I'm really nervous for some reason. I'm glad my 'exams' tomorrow are basically just  me picking up my portfolio and project. I hope I get a good grade on them, I actually tried really hard on my drawing portfolio and my photography assignment seemed to be good to me. Maybe not as creative as others but I'm not a super creative person. Oh well. Tuesday I have my supposed to be easy BIS 100 exam, Wed is Math which is going to be interesting, since I sometimes freeze up on math exams and tests when I don't know the info that well. Thursday is my last one, Art 126, which I think I have a pretty good handle on if I just look at the review once a day I believe I'll do fine. I can do this. I can ace these exams. I believe in myself.

        Other thoughts that come to mind are that I bought 3 baby trees for Christmas today. They're only like 10" tall and cute a button. I adore them. Next, I got a 'new' and when I say new I mean new to me, car! Its a 02 Ford Focus, silver, manual trans. I love it. Hopefully, when the mechanic puts the new clutch in it, he doesn't find a whole bunch of stuff wrong with it and he fixes it fast so I can clean it and get it legal to drive. I have had the crappiest car now for 4 years. I love my car but it's also falling apart, like currently it needs a strut, a windshield, and a new exhaust pipe that goes from basically the engine to the muffler. It's a 91' Escort that I got when my nephew went into the Marine Corp. My sister gave it to me so I don't complain much, its pretty cheap to run and drives amazingly, it should looks and sounds badly. Oh well, that's pretty well behind me now. I have a new one and I love it.

Well I believe that is all for now, hopefully, I can get to sleep soon. I don't really need to be up until noon or so but getting up early is good for the mind. Keeps me sharp and awake through the day. Thanks for reading =]

Maybelline Baby Lips and Lots of Lashes!

<img src="http://img.bzzagent.com/image/maybelline.jpg?Type=activity&Activity=3846144142&Campaign=5260130600&Uid=1257850&token=cd2655dc5296e5a3886437f8a4280cc0" alt=""/>

    I'm a BzzAgent and I got free samples of each of these. The Mascara came in just black and the Baby Lips came in 5 different "flavors". Right away I gave mascara to my mom and friend, and of course one for me to try. Later I gave some to my sister. My friend also received a Baby Lips sample.

    Lots of Lashes mascara is new and different. It has a sort of cone shaped applicator and it makes coating the corners of your lashes a lot easier but if you're used to the more traditional brushes you might not like this one right away. I was like that but I've slowly gotten used to this new kind. I still prefer the more traditional but that's just me (and my mom. lol). The only other comment I've had is my friend asked if it was waterproof which I know I sometimes want in case of the occasional emotion overload where I break down and cry. She's pregnant so it's more likely to occur than normal. =]

    The Baby Lips samples have served me well. I couldn't decide which flavor I wanted to try first, so I picked the one with the colors I liked best, the purple and green. I am a chapstick fanatic. I have about 10 different tubes on my desk alone. Plus countless others in my make-up collection and my various bags. I would highly recommend Baby Lips for people with normal not chapped lips. If you have chapped lips go for something with healing properties. None-the-less, still an awesome new chapstick and they have such pretty colors and nice flavors.

I'm a BzzAgent and Proud of it. =]
Thanks for looking.
