How to get TWO WEEKS of Hulu Plus for Free!

This is perfect because I was writing a post on how I'm going to save money in the New Year.  While getting rid of our satellite TV wasn't on the list, I'm really thinking about it...if it wasn't for those darn sports channels!!!

Right now you can get TWO WEEKS of HULU for free! This is a great way to try it out and see if you like it!

All you have to do is send me a friend request (sorry this can only go to friends) HERE and I will accept it.  Then as soon as I accept the friend request, I will send you the FREE gift card for TWO WEEKS of Hulu Plus!  Now, you do need to put in credit card information because if you don't cancel after the two weeks you will be charged the $7.99 a month.  Which is still very reasonable for having TV shows on your computer or tablet!!!

It's coming on that time of year...

I've mentioned before that there is one day a year where I absolutely leave DH alone!  He knows he can talk to me if he wants, but it's mostly him being by himself.  On this day I make a special bracelet.  Only one a year...never any more.  This is my bracelet to honor my husband and his friend that died.  Usually, I sell this bracelet, but this year I want to give it away to someone that deserves it.  Soooo, I would like you my fans to nominate someone that deserves this bracelet.    You can nominate that person as a comment in this blog post, or on my facebook page, or by emailing me.  All nominations will be considered.  The bracelet is red and blue.  I'm also thinking of adding something special this year to honor my husband and his friend.  Please forward this to all your friends and family and hopefully we will get a lot of nominations.  The bracelet will be made on January 7, which is the day that my husband lost a close friend right in front of him...from what I've been able to gather, my husband was in the spot that the mortar hit just a few minutes before...which is why this bracelet is so special.  Here in the Cook Family, we will be going through him being distant, with a shorter temper.  I've dealt with this every year and  I'm incredibly understanding about this.  I welcome other stories from the wars if you would like to share.  They will all be posted! 

Still in Shock and saying Prayers

I took a break today.  Posted one thing.  My heartfelt sympathies and prayers go out to the entire community of Newtown, Connecticut.  

I'm still in shock.  

There are new Angels in Heaven today.  There are so many families torn apart, in the blink of an eye.  There are so many other pages and articles on details, and I'm not going to be another one.  

My thoughts this morning were of those families that no longer get to hug their children.  The empty rooms and quiet houses.  The siblings that must be told.  

Then there's all the other children that survived and escaped.  The acts of heroism.  

There are parents who's world was torn apart today.  A small towns feeling of safety was stolen. 

Saturday, I will also be spending time with my Monster and QQ.  This weekend, think about the entire town that has been torn apart.  Say a prayer for EVERYONE.  Turn the computers off and give your kids an extra hug and spend some extra time with them.
