Back from the Bash

So yesterday we had my daughter's birthday party and this year instead of Chucky Cheese, we decided to take our family and Autumn's friends bowling. Now for those of you who don't know about Chucky Cheese, think tall mouse, a packed room full of screaming kids, crying babies, yelling parents, loud music, and the smell of pizza. The bottom line is kids absolutely love it; at the end of the day, parents are ready to take a few advil and pass out on their couches.

I vowed to myself I would never go to that place ever again.

I will say this, the bowling alley was a lot more fun, for the kids AND the adults. In spite of being beat by my own daughter at bowling, I will say this year's party will be hard to match next year!

Speaking of parties, anyone attending any Halloween parties this year? And, what will you dress up as?

Prize/Payment Update

I finished putting together the packages for the disco ball prizes and I plan on sending them out in tomorrow's mail. I must say, those of you who ordered the lava lamps should be pleased. They are very very groovy. So, I hope you enjoy them. :)

I still have a few more payments to finish up. I am hoping to have them processed within the next day or so. We are net30 in case some of you had forgotten. I thank you for all of you who submitted identification for your account. I realize that it can be a hassle sometimes, especially if you do not have a scanner or fax at home. However, it is necessary and I appreciate your cooperation.

I had been testing the waters with a few offers here recently and have noticed that they have not been crediting as well as I thought they would. I am working on finding out what the problem may be and eliminating the offers that aren't crediting for you. Please remember to submit valid information for all offers you complete.

Any suggestions on a cool prize for an October contest?
