Juicy!

Q: How do you say Happy Birthday in Hawaiian?

A: “Hau`oli Lā Hānau”

Did you know that the word “Criteria” is plural?

The correct singular form for “criteria” is criterion.

Plural usage: In order to become a member of this club, you must first meet it’s criteria before you are considered.

Singular usage: In order to become a member of this club, you must first meet it’s only criterion before you are considered.

People often use it incorrectly:  In order to become a member of this club, you must first meet it’s only criteria before you are considered.

My company has those automatic flush toilets.  Which company doesn’t have them nowadays, right?  The purpose of them is to conserve water, right? 

Then why is that I feel that we are wasting more water than the normal toilets?  I’m not sure about you, but it seems as if everytime I use it, the toilet flushes on its own even when I am not done.  By the time I am ready to flush, the toilet has already flushed itself 3 times.  How does that conserve water?    Can anyone tell me?   Even the slightest movements causes the toilet to flush.

Hooray!  It’s time for another giveaway at Gagazine.com!  This time, they’re giving away a $50 Gift Card to Amazon.com.  And I want to win…

So here it goes.  We weren’t really creative with how we named our son.  My Both of us just wrote down five names that we both liked.  Then we both looked over our list and agreed on a name.  Actually, we couldn’t come to an agreement on a name until we had to complete the birth certificate form at the hospital.

The word Free Giveaway is popping up on the internet faster than zits pop up on a teenager’s face. It’s a great tool for business owners as it drives traffic to their site. It’s also wonderful for the readers as they get a chance to win something. Sites small and big are hosting giveaways.

For example, I ran into this site that is giving away a free quilt: Free Quilt As some of you may know, quilts can get expensive. Or this other site is giving away a gift card to Ann Taylor Maternity. ZRecs.com offers giveaways often.

Even Gagazine is starting to run their own Lullaby CD Giveaway. Most of these giveaways require only a comment on to their blog post to enter.

What a great concept! I’m going Giveaway crazy.

This past Saturday, I threw a birthday party for my cousin’s only daughter.   I was debating whether we should celebrate her 10th year in this crazy world at Chucky Cheese’s or at Color Me Mine.  Either she can be at a place “where a kid can be a kid” or at a place where her artistic side can be challenged.

We decided on Chucky Cheese’s.  My husband thought he could be a kid. 

It’s been so many years since I’ve been there.  It’s changed.  They now have a lady at the entrance checking you in.  Every child gets a sticker.  The point of doing that, I have no clue. 

I forgot how expensive arcades can get.  For a large pizza, four sodas, and 160 tokens, it costed $40.  I suppose that’s not too bad if every token is worth a quarter each.  For a party of 10, 160 tokens was clearly not enough.  So we ordered 2 more pizza packages, plus another 80 tokens for $95.  560 tokens.  That’s an aweful lot of tokens.  But it lasted us all day.  I think of all the kids that were there, my husband had the most fun.

I wish I would have known this, but did you know that Chucky Cheese’s has a special Tokens for Grades program?  If every one of the kids that attended this party brought their report cards, they could have gotten free tokens for every good grade they earned!  Sure would have saved me the trouble of purchasing extra tokens for everyone!  But heck, there’s always next time.

So next time you decide to bring your kids to Chucky Cheese’s, ask them about their Tokens for Grades promotion.
