The latest obsession(s) -



My Coke Rewards - The more 20 oz. diet coke I drink, the more points I can get! I'm saving up points (28,000 to be exact) for a trip to Las Vegas OR a backstage concert experience. The thing is - each 20 oz is only 3 points - that's a lot of soda! I have my sources for collecting though - Dan has every one at his work saving the tops and I have a manager at one of the stores save her tops for me! www.mycokerewards.com



MySpace.com - Ok, so I finally started my own myspace page - I am so hooked! I'm actually catching up with some old friends that I haven't talked to in quite a while. I don't really post that much personal stuff on there though - it's too public. This blog is going to be the main one with the fun stuff on myspace. http://www.myspace.com/62983349

Woohoo - three day weekend coming up for me! Of course, I know I'll have a bunch of e-mails on Monday. BUT Monday is the hockey game!



This weekend will be spent making posters (for Richard Zednik) for the hockey game since we will be right behind the Montreal's bench.



My new obsession is my coke rewards (www.mycokerewards.com). If I save up 28,000 points, I can get a trip to Las Vegas - of course, that's a lot of soda. Each 20 oz bottle is only 3 points each! So, if you drink coke and aren't signing up for my coke rewards, save them for me!
