In Twitter news:

  • You know that Twitterank thing going around yesterday, were you one of the ones who fell in to that like me? Some people are saying it’s a scam, some aren’t. Whatever – change your password! Better to be safe than sorry.
  • If you really want your twitter graded, go check out Twitter Grader. I got a 95.7! It’s definitely NOT a scam.
  • Oh hey, you should follow me since I’m not really writing real entries at the moment and apparently not blogging much means Twittering like a madwoman.

Nothing in life is free? WRONG. I have some giveaways and contests for you and they are good ones!

  • Two amazing etsy sellers are giving away two fantastic prints to anyone who would like them. Seriously, for free. All you have to do is email them with your address. See the prints here and check out their reasoning for doing this. I’ve already gotten the confirmation for mine!
  • Jess at Jess Writes is giving away a $25 Starbucks giftcard. She is fab and you all are coffee addicts I’m sure so go check out how to win. It’s super easy!
  • Jenn is giving away a bunch of super awesome stuff and is teaching you about Social Networking safety all at the same time over at Must Love Geek.
  • Who’s Your Dachshund has a great giveaway for a copy of Wiener Takes All: A Dogumentary.
  • I’m giving away an awesome bag from Save Our Home etsy shop over here.

How do you give to charity without spending your own money? Easy. Just comment on a couple blogs. Seriously. You do it all day so why not make it count?

Have some extra cash of your own that you can spare for a good cause?

  • Rachel at Mom in Real Life is raising money for The Lupus Foundation of America. Find out how to donate here.
  • Amanda at Life In Development needs your help to raise money for The Massachusetts Special Olympics. Read more here.

In other news:

  • I want a baby Alpaca.
  • Yes, I still have a big, steamy crush on a fictional vampire. I’m in love with these photos.
  • I haven’t bit my nails in over a week. Yay me.

    Great post! Very informative :)

    Ohhh those pictures are amazing. Robert is quite dreamy…but he seems a bit odd/quirky in interviews I’ve seen lately. Oh well, he is still hot. I am so excited to see the movie next week!

    I had 59/100 on Twitter Grader the other week, but I’ve dropped down to 42/100 – your score is very impressive!

    And mmmmm – RP is hot! Can’t wait to see him in action as Edward!

    OMG Love the Alpaca! Talk about cute! Sadly, I think I may be over my animal limit at this point. Thirteen is almost too many. (Shhh, yes I said it. I’ve always said you can never have “too many” animals, but I may have reached that point)

    Hope you are doing ok, I’ve seen from here and Twitter that you are going through tough times. HUGS from far away. Hopefully things get easier soon.
