Chad and Courtney

My dad recently introduced me to a Web site called Varolo where you get paid for watching 30 second commercials. It cost nothing in terms of money and takes only about 30 seconds of your time for each commercial you watch (kinda like watching Super Bowl commercials). It doesn’t pay much at first but has potential for big monthly pay off for those who build their “village” by introducing the web site to others.


If you register using this link: http://www.varolo.com/village/Pacwmn and watch a few commercials it will make a little $ for my dad for referring me, and for me for referring you, and for you for whoever you refer and so on. The site is currently in beta but if it catches on it has potential .


I’m a little shy of asking others to do things like this but I have been playing with it and it’s kinda fun and there is nothing to lose



A link that shows how the compensation works is: http://blog.varolo.com/flash/VaroloComp.html



Let me know if anyone is interested!

I'm done with this 30 day blogging thing. Admittedly, I didn't read through it before I started and didn't see just how mundane (or dumb) some (a lot) of them were. So, I'm done. Hopefully I can come up with some posts all on my own :)

Ok, I never said these would be consecutive days ;)
Day 3 is about my parents, so I decided to share their cute story.
My mom was in orientation her freshman year at Ricks college. They were going over the rules and when they came to no facial hair, a young man stood up and stormed angrily out. (What a rebel :) He really liked his mustache) My mom saw this guy and thought, wow, I'm going to marry that guy. (Who knew she liked the "bad boys" lol) When she found out that they had a class together, she made sure she sat right next to him. Of course that guy turned out to be my cute dad. I guess he never had a chance once my mom set her sights on him ;)

Hmmm, my first love. Well that's easy, Westley. As in The Princess Bride. Not the actor, but the character. Come on, a man who would do anything for you and forgive you for anything dumb that you may have done? Who would fight for you and nearly die just for your happiness? What girl wouldn't want this kind of romance?


Ok, I know some of you think that is a cheat... seeing as I don't actually know him, or the fact that he is fictional.
I did have a crush on Robby Brown when I was 5, but he moved in kindergarten. I'm surprised I remember his name. I LOVE my cute hubby, but you all know that.
So I guess I have to tell you about Chris. I was 14, and was instantly in crush land when I saw him. Super cute with a killer smile. I had had boyfriends before, (I know, I know) but he was different. We "went out" for about a year and a half. And to be honest, it didn't end well. But if I forget about that part, the memories were good. He made me smile, and I learned a lot during those 18 months. But of course what I thought was love was merely infatuation that I got over in a few weeks after the big break up. So really, I should have just stuck with that cute hubby I mentioned earlier. Yep, Chad was and is definitely my real first love.

I have been in a big blog slump. My last post was over 3 months ago! It was about Sawyer getting his helmet on, and he's getting it off next week...
Anyway, to get myself out of this slump, I am going to do a little blog challenge that I borrowed from my awesome niece Hailey.

Day 01 – Introduce yourself with pictures and words

This is me. Ignore the red nose, it was cold.

I am a wife and mother.
I am determined.
I love to read, always have.
I am very logical.
I am emotional (having babies did that one to me :)
I'm all about my family.
I love planting my garden every spring, it makes me happy to see the flowers out my window and eat the veggies that we grew.
I know more about tools than the average girl.
I would LOVE to run a marathon one day.
I HATE laundry, it's never done.
I'm a procrastinator. (Doesn't help with the laundry)
I have a lot of little quirks that even Chad doesn't know about.
I can't wait for Spring!
I wish I knew more German so that I could read my cousins' facebook posts.

That's what is at the top of my head at the moment.
