Business and golf?

Mix perfectly - I must say!

When I was a corporate girl I used to golf quite regularly. In fact, we constantly participated in golf tournaments around town and it was really good publicity for us to participate in the non-for-profit tournments.

I was fully equipped with some nice clubs but I wish I would have had a better selection of golf apparel ladies.

One thing that I discovered was that it was harder for me to find the bigger sizes in a women's style so I ended up getting mens shorts and shirts.

Our little lady.

A few months ago I picked up some costume jewelry
for Graem. She's constantly trying on my jewelry and I figured if she had her own she wouldn't want to wear mine!

Plus, the cost of the jewelry was so cheap that I was able to get her a nice selection. She loves putting on the necklaces and bracelets. In fact, I even found a kit that had Barbie on it and lights up! Of course, they have some clip on earrings too. But those only lasted a matter of minutes before she lost them in the car.

I know at some point she's going to want real earrings...

Getting older?

Since I've started getting older I'm realizing more and more that things on my body aren't the same that they used to be. Most recently I went to get my hair cut and also some highlights.

I realized that my hair is thinning on top! My mother has a thinning hairline so I knew it was just a matter of time but I was hoping to avoid it since I don't use tons of Aqua Net!

I think I might need to check out Provillus. Provillus is a topically FDA approved medication that will help with hair regrowth. It helps to nourish the follicles that have been dead in the past.

One thing that I realize when I'm on all of these infertility meds is exactly what hot flashes are! It's horrible and I really can't believe how older women do it! I mean one minute I'm fine and then within a few minutes I'm sweating all over and feel like it's 200 degrees outside!

Of course, I know it's just a matter of time before I go into early menopause since I've been using so many eggs each time we do the infertility treatments. I wouldn't be surprised if it starts around my 40th birthday.

Of course, I might need to look into the cellulite cream sooner than later too!

Truth be known there are so many products out there and there's no telling which ones are good and which ones are a hoax. That's why I'm glad I stumbled across TrustSource.org. It allows people to leave the opinions and you can really find out what has worked for people instead of just reading advertisements.

Another progesterone?

I've been on progesterone for years in order to try and keep a pregnancy. The whole idea is that if you take it the drug will help you build your uterine lining and carry a pregnancy to term.

However, they are also prescribing progesterone to women in order to help with PMS, menstral cramps and actually regulate a period.

I say, if there's a med to help women with their monthly period and the unbearable side effects - AMEN!

Lovely lady lumps.

I've always had plenty of "backside" and been very fortunate. Even when I was thinner in high school I was told many times that I had black booty.

However, not everyone is as lucky as myself. In fact, some girls are beautiful but they might look even better if they had a little junk in the trunk!

Now they can purchase padded panty and get all of the behind that they've ever wanted!

Don't take my word for it though...check out LoveFiFi.com. They've got just about anything you could ever desire to make you look hot! Plus, their prices seem really decent too.

Slacker.

Okay, yesterday was a work day and G was at daycare. I had tons to do. What did I do but call up my friend in Syracuse and spend the day at lunch and shopping with her.

Bad girl.

I should have done everything I had to do.

I guess that means that today and Friday are going to be my catch up days.

So close.

At one point we were so close to getting all of our debt paid for. Then of course we took out the home equity loan for the IVF refund program and now we owe another $20,000!

What were we thinking?

Even though I know it was the right way to go...I can't help but think that's still a lot of money and it would have been so nice to be debt free!

Fortunate for us we have very good credit and have never had problems getting credit cards or loans.

However, there are others who need bad credit loans. Many times it's hard for people to get credit because of their past credit history.

600.net offers information on credit and can also help you get your finances back on track. The website is easy to navigate and has almost anything and everything financial related.

Catching up.

Well, I'm quite impressed that I'm able to do a little bit of work today from home. Despite the fact that I'm sick and Graem's home with me. Of course, she has been in front of the television for the past few hours....

Okay, guilty mom has set in.

Must get dressed and get out of the house!

When the kid gets older...

and maybe when we get another baby we are definately going to make it a priorty to go on vacation. When I was a kid we *never* went on family vacations. I can't tell you if it's because my parents didn't have much money or noone wanted to be around each other for more than two days at a time!

Margot and I have talked about making a trip to Orlando, Florida. Of course, we'd probably fly, rent a car and look for Orlando Villas. Homes.OrlandoVacation.com offers some great discounts on vacations in the Orlando and surrounding area and can really help when planning a vacation.

Living up here in New York it's hard to plan a vacation because we have no idea what the area is like - nor do we know what the fun things to do there are!

So, it's nice to know that you can check out one website that has it all!

Looking good in the neighborhood.

I must be the first to admit that I am totally not into fashion. I dress like a hillbilly and half of the time I walk out of the house in flip-flops and plastic shorts. It is seriously a tragedy waiting to happen.

That's why I'm glad that I came across a new website that will keep me in the loop. Tobi.com specializes in fashion. They have some great clothes and what's even better is they have articles and a column geared towards monkeys like me who have no fashion sense. I like the fact that they have a fashion guru that is there to answer your fashion questions too.

I was shocked to see that velvet clothing was making a comeback this year! I remember every year my mother and grandmother would find the reddest and most velvety dress they could find each year for my Christmas dress. Of course, those were also matched with the brightest red, shiny shoes they could find.

Velvet apparel has always been a favorite of mine, though. Not only does it fit comfortably, but it's forgiving, and it feels so smooth and silky!

It's amazing how twenty five years later velvet clothes have made a come back! Who knows maybe parachute pants will come back too!

You know I'll be first in line when that happens...

I have a new addiction!

I must admit that over the family reunion I became addicted to Monopoly! We ended up buying Dennis the new Monopoly that works with debit cards and no real bank. It was super cool and I even downloaded the game for our computer.

Of course, I'm glad that it wasn't poker because then I'd have to start shopping for good, quality, poker tables!

You know I never can do anything half-way and it always has to be the best! That's why I've bookmarked AmericanGamingSupply.com in case I ever have a gambling or gaming addiction and need to find a nice table.

I stepped on the scale this morning...

and was shocked to see that I only gained five pounds from family reunion. Of course, that's not counting the gaining since fertility drugs and trying to get pregnant for a year now!

That's why I'm considering hydroxycut to help me lose those unwanted pounds.

I figure I've tried prescription meds and although they did a good job...they were so expensive! It'll be a nice break on my pocketbook to buy something that's cheaper and just as effective.

I love to golf!

Unfortunately, I rarely get out enough to enjoy golfing. I purchased a new pair of golf clubs a few years ago before I resigned from my job.

I think since I've had them I've only played a handful of times. It's amazing how I can actually go out on the course and hold my own! The last time I went out I had a pretty decent game and didn't loose too many golf balls in the woods.

Of course, I consider anything less than a case of balls a good game of golf!

Take me away to Orlando!

In just a few years Grammy will be old enough for us to take her to Orlando. She's already starting to get into the whole princess thing and I can't wait to take her to Disney!

When we were in New York we went to Coney Island and she rode on all of the kiddie rides. She loved it!

If we were to go to Orlando we'd probably want to stay in a vacation home Orlando. It just makes sense when you're traveling with kids and want a nice place to call "home"!

Plus, since we really like a nice and quiet place --- we've all but given up on staying at hotels!

For a good cause.

A few years ago when I worked for an assisted living I was very active with the community and also with the Alzheimer's Association.



In fact, every year they had the Memory Walk and for a few years I was on the board and even selected as the Chairperson for the event. There was really a lot to putting on such a great event and being a "behind the scenes" person I really got to see all that took place! From the donations to the fundraisers and really trying to make enough at our walk to help the worthy cause.

Now the Alzheimer's Association is at it again with their annual Memory Walk.

I think everyone should be passionate about something and as I was working with older people and even people as young as fifty five years old ... I saw something so devastating and knew that I wanted to make a difference.

When the Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk came along I knew I wanted and needed to be a part of raising money to find a cure.

It appears that they haven't announced dates for our local walk but I think this year I'd really like to be a part of it and even raise money and walk! Plus, I think it's good for Graem to see at a young age what it's like to help organizations raise money and to help others.



The walk is nationalwide and anyone can sign up! Just make sure to sign up early. Take it from me...it makes everyone's job who is organizing the event a lot easier if they have an idea of who is going to show up!

If you've got the walking fever -- feel free to sign up as a Team Captain too!

Forever and a day...

since I posted and I deeply apologize!

We were at the family reunion in New York City and I really wanted to just take a break from posting, work, and enjoy family and good food.

Of course, I'm sitting about 10 pounds fatter and wishing I would have done some work about now!

I guess that will always be waiting for me tomorrow when Grammy's at daycare!

The next step.

Well, I feel like I've tried everything to lose the weight including: exercise, fat pills, and dieting.

Now, I think it's time for a lap band. The good thing about the lap band is that's it's adjustable and not a permanent fixture - however your eating habits do become permanent.

Sometimes I feel like I just need a little jumpstart. Check out JourneyLite.com to get more information on this great surgery that has changed the lives of so many people.

Much needed time.

Well, we're in New York City now and I've had ltitle to no break because I've been so busy carting around the family!

Tonight was one of the last trips to the airport so hopefully, I can hang around and enjoy the company without being the driver!

Want to get a tax deduction?

Our taxes this year are going to be a major mess. I have some business expenses but we've done a horrible job at taking out tax money from my blogging and consulting.

Good thing we have a few months to get everything together! I guess I should start saving receipts now!

We are constantly looking for ways to get a tax deduction too! A few years ago we had Graem and that trimmed off about $2,000.

At some point if/when my car gets old enough and we decide to buy another one we might consider car donation. CarAngel.com is a non profit that allows you donate your car, boat, and even house!

They end up selling your items to the general public and use that money to help at risk kids, orphanages, and local communities. You can get rid of your car and know that it's going towards a good cause...plus you can reap the benefits and get a nice little tax write off!

If you are wondering how you can "Donate my car" just go to CarAngel.com. The website is really informative and pretty easy to follow.

Car Donations are the newest and easiest way to get a nice tax deduction! Aside from being blind or having triplets. Then again, we'd probably love to have the triplets!

I got your number!

Living in upstate New York we don't have many options when it comes to services. As a healthcare consultant I'm always looking for options. Especially, for families that call me and live outside of the Tompkins county area.

That's why I'm glad to come across a pretty good Internet Yellow Pages where I can look up services in all areas.

Radiux.com offers over 14 million listings and it's pretty easily organized. In fact, this also makes shopping for family who live in Houston and New York City a piece of cake!

Now we don't have to look online for a big company that spends way too much advertising to get a business that will do the job for half of the price!

Family reunion.

It will be nice to have a laptop at this family reunion. Plus, I feel that the kid is somewhat of a buffer too. Many times when it's just the adults you have to talk and the silence is too weird at times.

WIth a kid at least you can expect some talk about potty training, terrible two's, and her future college plans.

Traders!

We've been going to Trader K's on the commons for years. When we first started going we used to sell our old clothes for money that we would use to pay our bills. Even if we were still wearing the clothes...we'd sell them!

You know, desperate times call for desperate measures!

Now, we go through our clothes every six months and get rid of all of the lesbian sweater vests that we have banned from our house.

Hopefully, this Trader run will hook us up with some good eat out money!

I never knew...

My marketing background has always been pretty extensive. I've worked on both parts of the spectrum including selling advertising and being the Marketing Director that purchases advertising.

I've worked with print advertising and radio. I've always prided myself in producing a really good finished product that was effective for the organization.

I've never worked with television or commercials. I'm guessing that it's a much different type of advertising because there are so many parts of it.

One thing that you have to know about is hd stock footage. Basically, that's the same type of idea as clip art in print advertising.

AlwaysHD.com offers a huge selection of footage for firms that are looking to make a commercial. When you think about it...it probably costs much less to get stock footage than it is to shoot your own!

Nekkid kid.

Grammy just got out of the bathtub and she's sitting but naked and wet on the couch. No wonder we need new furniture.

I'm just glad that the couch is brown.

That was bad. Really.

Mail.

Lately, we have been getting such crap in our mailbox! I can't even believe that companies waste their money on stamps to send out this stuff. I mean does anyone actually ever open anything that has a presorted label?

Ready to be recruited?

When I was in college and even after I graduated I was recruited and looked over by a few big corporates and recruiting firms. Typically, I'd get a few interviews and they'd find out that I only wanted to live in certain locations and that would be the end of our conversation!

Now there's a Executive Recruiting Firm Blog that offers some great information on working with a recruiting firm and even interviewing and getting the job.

AEFeldman.com offers recruitment services for people who are looking for an executive position. Their trained recruiters are there to help the organization and the potential employee.

They are into the business of finding the perfect match for your organization!

The stock market.

I must admit I'm somewhat glad that I pulled most of my stocks out of the market. With the past few weeks being so bad I would have lost my shirt with all of the losses. I can't believe it's so rocky.

I have a friend who invests and does quite well. She's big into saying when the stock market sinks --- that's the time to buy.

Of course, that's assuming that you have money to invest and that you haven't lost it in the previous crashing market!

I should open...

a counseling service. I swear I have one friend that constantly calls and she's a wreck. I understand that's what friendship is all about buy lord have mercy. Sometimes I feel like it's even too much for me!

I think she needs a good dose of vicodin mixed with an anti-anxiety and anti-depression coctail.

Straight from the office of Dr. Black.

Exhausted.

I just woke up a few hours ago and I'm already tired. Is this part of being an old far or is there something wrong?

Of course, even if I were to lie down to take a nap I'm not sure if I could actually go to sleep!

I feel like Grandpa on the Simpsons. The second that I sit still I fall asleep!

Or-lan-do!

I think it's just a matter of time before we head down to Florida. Of course, our next big trip is to Brooklyn for family reunion, then San Francisco.

But I do know that Florida will be in our near future. Graem has already started showing interest in the whole princess and Disney thing. I think she'd just love it to see actual characters! We just rented Cinderella over the weekend too!

Of course, since we alwayd so our vacations on a budget we'd probably have to look into a discount orlando hotel!

Orlando.com offers a great website where you can plan your whole vacation! They offer some great hotel offers and even information on getting around including car rentals too!

A much needed break!

Well, we're going to be taking some time off and heading to family reunion in the next week or so. I think we'll be leaving Thursday and returning the following Wednesday.

More than likely I'll still do a little bit of blogging from Brooklyn but I don't plan on spending too much time on the computer.

Unless, of course, Margot's family is driving me nuts.

Where to host?

I'm looking at some alternatives to the usual webpage hosting sites. I've used some of the obvious ones out there, but find their service lacking. Sure, it's good when it's good, but when it's bad, then it's really bad, with customer service lines like, "Sorry, there's nothing else we can do" and "I'm not quite sure what to tell you."

I just found out from a friend that there's a local hosting site that is managed in town, and it turns out that we're mutual acquaintances with kids Grammy's age. Maybe I'll look into that.

Business credit cards

When I first started my business, I wanted it to be a cash-only operation--for myself, that is. I didn't want to go into debt over getting it started, so I didn't get a loan.

But now it seems to make sense to get a business credit card, so that I can track my business expenses separately from personal expenses. I hate filling out Credit Card Applications, so I'm going to use CreditCardSearchEngine.com to narrow down my choices. It's important to fully research all the options out there before committing to a credit pull. I also need to minimize fees and expenses, because, as you know, I'm cheap.

Business expenses

I didn't realize when I formed my business that there would be fees involved with keeping the name registered. It looks like I have to pay a fee every two years to keep my address updated, payable to the state. I suppose $9 every two years isn't so bad... I need to stop being so cheap and pay up!

The cost of doing business these days, I tell you.

New logo and marketing materials!

Marg's work is finally updating their logo, getting a website (YES, for the first time), and updating their image with a full overhaul. It's like a whole new firm!

They've been using their current logo for about 15 years now, and for a firm that's in the design industry, it's important to keep current and look contemporary.

I'm excited to see what their website will look like (I can finally show my friends what my partner does), and to see their brochure sheets. Maybe they'll get some nice glossy portfolio folders too!

When Grammy gets older...

and maybe when we get another baby we are definately going to make it a priorty to go on vacation. When I was a kid we *never* went on family vacations. I can't tell you if it's because my parents didn't have much money or noone wanted to be around each other for more than two days at a time!

Margot and I have talked about making a trip to Orlando, Florida. Of course, we'd probably fly, rent a car and look for hotel orlando. Orlando.com offers some great discounts on vacations in the Orlando and surrounding area and can really help when planning a vacation.

Living up here in New York it's hard to plan a vacation because we have no idea what the area is like - nor do we know what the fun things to do there are!

So, it's nice to know that you can check out one website that has it all!

Halloween!

I can't believe Halloween is just around the corner! In fact, it's hard to believe that last year our little girl was a lion. She wasn't too fond of the costume and actually cried when we tried to put it on her.

This year she's saying that she wants to be Pablo from the Backyardigans however, I'm thinking that animal masks might be the way to go! That way she would haven't to put on a hot costume which freaks her out and she could be the animal of her choice.

TheJungleStore.com has many different masks to choose from and they also offer animal costumes too!

The little things.

When we moved to our house it was in need of a major make over. However, we really didn't have the money to do major improvements. We painted the interior, got shutters, got a new front door and painted it.

For the kitchen we painted the counters, got cabinet hardware, and really worked on helping it with a face life. We also got the stick on black and white tiles and put them on the existing ugly yellow flooring!

All in all, we're pretty happy with the improvements that we've made. Of course, having a house is always a work in progress and we'll never be completely happy until we have another bathroom and an extra 2,000 square feet!

A nice "thank you".

Typically when I work with people in business I try to do whatever I can to let them know that I appreciate their business. Since I have a small community based business and many of my clients are word of mouth it really pays to do the little things like thank you cards and such.

Years ago I used to send flowers or candy but that got somewhat expensive and didn't really get across the point. Plus, at times people would feel awkward for accepting a nice bouquet!

Now I think fruit baskets are the perfect gift! Whether it's to say "thank you" or "get well soon" it's nice to know someone is thinking of you.

Plus, before when I used to bring chocolate I would get a whole lot of people say that they're on a diet or diabetic. Yikes.

GourmetGiftBaskets.com offers a great selection of really beautiful fruit baskets! Plus the prices are just perfect and they deliver.

What more could you ask for?

YIKES!

I have a love/hate relationship with scary movies. I used to be alright with them when I was younger and even used to go to the haunted houses located throughout the Houston area! Of course I would pay the ten dollars and run through the houses within thirty seconds screaming like a mad woman.

One of the last scary movies that I watched was an old repeat of "Alien" that was playing on UPN. Even though it was just weird and old....I still got the creeps! I think it has to do with knowing that Margot gets scared of movies too and with both of us scared it's like the blind leading the blind!

At least for that one I didn't have to leave the lights on and after thirty minutes I had forgotten it.

Now Rob Zombie has done it again! August 31st his new rendition of: Halloween the movie will be making it's appearance!

Check out this darn scary preview:



Anything that has kids, monsters, and dead policemen is a note to me that it's way too scary!

Whatever happened to the days when I could watch scary movies, go to haunted houses, and even tell ghost stories in the dark?

Hopefully, I won't pass my scared gene to little Grammy!

Then again, I'm not sure she would be able to appreciate Halloween the movie quite yet!

Too damn early.

This morning Margot woke up early and Graem was not far behind. Then Margot came upstairs and told me she would be leaving in a few minutes. So of course, I woke up too to eat breakfast and make sure that Graem was going to be okay.

Now it's 8:00 amd Grammy and me are exhausted! She's already had a Backyardigans overload and we have to be out of here in the next hour or so.

Augh. Why can't we just get more sleep???

Send me an angel, right now.

We are constantly looking for ways to give back to our community. At one point we were donating money to the human rights campaign. We have even been known to work at the occassional soup kitchen.

Now there's a new non-for-profit out there that is looking to accept cars, boats, and houses for donation. Boat Angel allows you to give your used or unused boat for donation.

BoatAngel will actually make arrangements to pick up your boat and leave you with a receipt that you can use for a tax deduction come tax time.

A few years ago we actually had a boat that was just sitting under our car port. The boat was working and it just came down to us not having time each summer to fix it up, get tags, and take it into the water. Plus, when the baby was born we really didn't have the time!

Had we known about the boat angel outreach center we would have donated our boat for a worthy cause.

BoatAngel actually uses the sell of boats, houses, and cars to support their efforts to educate children and also help with prison reform. They have also been known to give prisoners and addicts the skills that they need to be successful community members once released into the community.

Score!

My friend Lindsey takes her daughter to Score Learning Centers and can't say enough about what they've done for her child. She uses their Reading Tutors and already her four year old daughter can read at the second grade level!

I wish we lived closer to a metropolitan area that offered tutoring and Score Learning Centers!

We'd be the first to sign up for them!

This post sponsored by: Score Learning Centers

Tomorrow's plans.

Tomorrow I'm getting back into the grind. I will be dropping Graem off first thing in the morning and then I have to come back over on this side of the lake to head to a shrinky dink appointment.

Then I think I'm probably going to hang out at home and do my blogging.

Gotta love a fun packed day of blogging and shrinkage!

Can you count?

I sure hope if you're reading this blog you can count and know simple math! In fact, we've even been trying to teach Grammy how to count and do some simple math!

At some point we might consider getting her Math Tutors.

I wish we had a Score Learning Center in our area so that she could get that extra tutoring and training.

This post sponsored by: Score Learning Center

Sick.

Well, we're just getting over being sick. We went to the doctor's today and Graem has a virus and she's suppose to start up steroids so that it doesn't turn into pnemonia like last time.

Of course, we're hesitant to start her on any medication that can be avoided. We might just see if she can overcome it without putting her on the steroids. We're not too fond of putting our 2 1/2 year old on steroids!

Stability is good.

After the market crashed a few months ago we have been looking for something new to invest our wealth into. We've looked at international markets and they're really unstable.

At this point I'm ready to buy gold. The one thing about gold, silver, and other precious metals is that year after year they offer a consistent investment.

Not to mention, their demand always higher than the supply. Obviously, by using basic laws of economics you can see that this might be a good idea for the future!

Monex is an industry leader with gold, silver, and precious metals. You can buy the metals in many different types of ways and even store them through the provider.

This is a noteworthy investment and a great way to diversify your portfolio. Especially during these unstable market times.

Exhausted.

I don't know what's been going on with me lately...but I've been so damn tired. Most of the time I've always been able to stay up past 11 o'clock and watch television or do computer.

These days I make sure that I'm tucked into bed by 10:00 and most of the time it's even before that.

Maybe this is what being middle aged is all about.

Borders.

Well, it looks like tomorrow I'm going to be back at the grind doing office stuff! I plan on dropping Grammy off at daycare at a relatively early hour so I can start up and hopefully finish with the full day ahead of me.

Of course, I've got to check out the new released sales at Target. I have my eye on this sweet ass grill that I keep hoping goes on clearance!

I'm good enough, darnit...

for the best credit cards on the market! I figure I should probably start off with a good business card. I think it would probably make my life a lot easier to have one because not only would I not have to go through all of my purchases come tax time but I could use my statements as the receipts for my purchases.

CardFusion is a great website that has tons of information about credit cards. They also do a great job at educating people on how to choose a credit card that's going to be right for you and your financial situation.

I'm interested in the business card and something that offers rewards. More than likely, I'd pay the card off every month and I have stellar credit.

Friday.

Well, I already have quite a few offers that I'm going to have to work on for Friday. I have nothing else planned and it looks like I might just end up dropping Graem off at school early in the morning and then spending some office hours at my usual destination.

Keep the coffee brewin'!

So tired.

I worked this morning for a few hours and now I'm just trying to finish up work at home. I had to head to Syracuse for a check up and everything looked alright.

That drive to and from Syracuse (1 1/2 hours each way) is a killer! AUGH. Plus, it's so hot outside I got a sunburn on my arm that was facing towards the sun!

I need a boost!

Lately, business has been pretty dry. It could be that I have done a really crummy job at marketing my business. But I'm also out of ideas, money and time. A great investment for me would be to purchase some business Sales Leads.

MartinWorldwide.net focuses on building databases for businesses that specialize in the businesses demographics, audience, and clientele. You can purchase the information and be on your way to marketing to your intended audience.

The good thing is ... you're not wasting your time on people or organizations that might not want your product.

Ineffective marketing costs a lot! Save your money for the people that matter and are actually intersted in your product!

HILARIOUS!

I have always loved the good ole "American Pie" type movies. Margot of course doesn't get the humor. Perhaps it's the whole private school - education comes first upbringing!

Today you've got to check out YouTube for five new "SuperBad" Videos!

I just saw one of the clips with Seth who is one of the kids in the movie and it was SO hilarious! Seth complains to the teacher about how Home Ec sucks and how it's a joke. He also complains about he's the one doing all of the work because his partner's not there all of the time. Then he follows all of his comments to his teacher by saying "No offense".

Finally, the teacher matches him with one of the hot girls and he's all smiles from there!

You've got to check out the SuperBad website yourself for information on the movie downloadables and even ringtones!

Superbad looks like an awesome movie and I'm sure it's going to be a new summer blockbuster. Of course, it's not going to be one of those movies that we take Grammmy to!

I can't get enough of these clips on their website and I keep laughing hysterically! Even Graem came over a few minutes ago to see what was so funny! Too bad she's too young to watch and understand these clips!
