***Updated to announce winner by Random.com is #10 Belinda. Belinda has 48 hours to respond by email or a new winner will be pulled. Thank you all for entering, I sure appreciate your participation. I hope that you all have a chance to use Norton’s awesome software and come back for the next contest.*
Norton software is pretty much synonymous with computer/internet security…and there is nothing I want safe more than my children.
I was once helping Nathaniel Google information for a project on Indian villages and one seemingly innocent click led us to a nasty porn site. I nearly knocked him out slapping my hand over his eyes as quickly as I could. I couldn’t believe it and was thoroughly horrified.
Norton has a fix for this kind of thing…built-in safety for YOUR family with Norton Online Family. We have two ancient desktop pc’s for our girls and a laptop for our son and there’s a lot of setup to cover every computer, but OH SO worth it.
Installing the program on their computers allows me to have one web interface that I can use to control all their web activity: websites, emails, IM’s, social media, and stuff they’re not even trying yet. I can see what they’ve been to, if they’ve tried to access inappropriate things and I can set up each child with different access according to age and maturity.

This past weekend, I was out of town at a conference and I was able to see what was going with my kids and their computer use…which, as far as I’m concerned, the more aware I am regarding their usage, the safer they are.
If you’d like to start keeping your family safe, you can download the Norton software and use promo code: ACC10. You won’t regret it.

Back in my very long, very unproductive dating days, I set the bar pretty high.
I wanted Richard Gere to climb my fire escape to swear his love and millions to me.
I wanted the giant ball of c.r.a.z.y. formally known as Tom Cruise to break into my father’s penthouse to sweet me away to a life as a bartender’s wife.
I thought my life would be complete if Jake Ryan ever handed my back my panties over cake. *le sigh*
I love me some chick flicks, and I’m not ashamed to say it.
I’m happy to get to offer you the chance to win a copy of this year’s hit chick flick “He’s Just Not That Into You” soundtrack. I’ve had a chance to listen to it (all the way to Chicago, thank you Ipod) and fell in love with it’s quirky, fun music hodge-podge. I haven’t seen the movie that hit theaters on Feb 6th, but I can tell you that the soundtrack is rocking!

A few of the artists included on the cd include: Corinne Bailey Rae, R.E.M., Talking Heads, Wilco, Maroon 5, Lily Allen, and The Cure…actually, there are a lot more, 17 tracks of girly, fun, swoony, goodness.

*booo moment: I take that back, there are 16 tracks of girly, swoony, fun goodness..and one track of “what the…?” And I will tell you that if you ever liked Jeff Buckley, please do not listen to Scarlett Johansson’s rendition…is not what I usually refer to as GOOD.*
So, of course, I get to give you something fun for this review!
Contest Details:
Contest begins 10 PM (EST) Feb 11 and ends at 12 AM (EST) Feb 17th.

Yanni is not, nor has ever been, my thing.

In fact, that is so true that I’ve never actually heard any by Yanni…which really goes against the whole “don’t judge something before you try”, but I freely admit that I did.
Then Arianne from the One2One Network said, “Try it, it’s different from his usual stuff, you might like it.”
And if Arianne asked me to try deep fried cottonballs dipped in battery acid, I probably would because she’s fun like that. She’d more than likely convince me I liked it too. The force is strong with this one.
I avoided handling the Yanni Voices cd and dvd for quite a while and then it was time to crack those babies open and give them a listen…and…while it’s not something I’d play at my neighborhood kegger, it was actually very good.
It’s mood music. It’s soothing and soft and melodic and romantic…It’s beautiful and comfortable and I enjoyed it.
I DID!
In fact, it was pretty incredible.
The singers are new to me, but they are not just eye candy, they are incredibly talented and each brings a different texture to the music.
