Check out this Rat Rod Dad is building. Will be ready next Summer. Hope he lets me drive it around town. So hot. Ahhh, imagining now…..

Last night he took me to Marble Slab. Whoa that ice cream place is crazy awesome.

I had chocolate with walnuts and snickers and then I added Nerds. Nerds! Bad choice, too tangy for the choco but whatever. It was good. Luckily I didn’t get sick or hurting tummy from it. Bye bye lactose allergy. I love Summer, FTW!!

yesterday on twitter, this happened:

What is the use of a book, w/out pictures or conversations?

Reach out & touch me.

So ncie in the park today. Spent heaps of time here as a kid, highschool too.

Fed the ducks. Man they were hungry. Some came right up on the rocks scared the jeepers outta me. Jeepers creepers.

Met this guy. Don’t get too close. He bites.

Rarrrrrrrrr!

Chantelle and I have been coming here together for a really long time. No need to know actually how long, ages. Hi to Chantelle’s Mum [waves at computer]! They did Zumba yesterday. So cute.

This wall faces a skatepark, used to be a swimming pool. Heaps of kids skatin’.

Went on a long path, Wonderland Walk. Was lovely except I rekcon I got a few mozzy bites. See that butterfly. Flutter by, so pretty. Title is from Alice in Wonderland in case you didn’t know.

Feel like a kid playing in the park so nice.

Someone lost their balloons. Not me!

Camera if you’re curious is Olympus XZ-1. It’s awesome & best cam I’ve used yet. Engadget review about it here.

Garden time.

but I think that’s because you like to read.

Glitteratzi.

Got totally soaked the other day in my new dress from Holts.

Somebody else got wet too, Animal.

Now, don’t get me wrong because there IS a difference.

I’m currently shopping on Dealuxe.ca to pick out an outfit for my talk on Thursday during Mashable Socal Media Day. Sign up here to come for the fun, there’s 250+ people coming already. Gonna be fun to see everyone. This skirt is cute too eh. Mum loves it.

I’m also browsing EGOCLOSET to pick out something to review & while testing out their new online store. Thinking this uber cute Diamond Pocket Dress, Maxi Jumper or this Chifon tail dress. Loving those long flowy skirts & dresses. They were really popular in NZ last year & they are ALWAYS ahead in style down there.

I love getting stuff in the mail, everyone loves mail.  The other day Keri & I came home feeling kinda blahhhh and my friends at Bud Light sent me a 12 pack just because they knew it was going to be a nice weekend.

Thanks guys, it did make the weekend better and I appreciate it.

Sometimes I wonder why I’m even talking about this…. should I keep quiet?

Here’s the thing about blogging I don’t love:

C.C Chapman wrote about it six months ago. The Mommy bloggers have been talking about it way before I brought it up,  good article on MomBlogMagazine about it here.

PR email comes in about an ‘exciting’ new campaign that brand XX is launching. It is either a one day event or it spans several weeks but it is ‘perfect for my audience’. This is a what is called ‘Blogger Outreach’.

The company knows from idea conception that they want to connect with bloggers although they bugdet nothing for the bloggers who are going to do a bunch of work. They know exactly who they are going to target because we are all on the same list.
