Contest

Friday is BBBL2 Day!!!

Sun Chronicle AdBlogs, Brews and Belly Laughs II Update: Today I came home to see that BenSpark.com was again in the local paper. It was in the paper in the form of advertising for Blogs, Brews and Belly Laughs II. I had talked to Christian about doing some advertising and he took care of all of it. The Sun Chronicle did a great job with the Ad. It not only has My blog Logo but also information about the Walking 4 2nd Base fundraiser and prizes. There is also my link to the Facebook Event. I wonder if there will be many bloggers in my area who want to come to the event.

The other great news today is that Dina Riccobono of Market Leverage has donated a 16GB iPod Touch to one lucky online winner. She wanted to help me out with the event after I helped her out with the Market Leverage Bowl-A-Thon. This will be a twitter contest. The intent is to drum up as much excitement as possible to get people to attend the online LIVE event via stickam. The official stickam site for the event will be www.stickam.com/sotplive.

So how can you get your hands on a 16GB iPod Touch?

Here are the official rules. Must do all 1-3 to qualify.

Deadline Looming
Photo-A-Day #1467

The Tax Deadline is looming. If you didn’t know, sorry to be the wake up call. If you got things done early that is great for you. If you’re still working on yours keep going. If you ware trying to get yours in by midnight tomorrow get to the post office early for the lines. Me, I e-filed this year. We got a return so I question why it took me so long to get my taxes done. I guess I just didn’t want to do them. The thing is our taxes are wicked easy. I use Tax Cut and have used it for years. Each year my prior tax return is imported and most things are filed in for me. It is so easy. Past years I’ve filed on paper but used Tax Cut to prepare the files. Why I didn’t e-file before is a mystery. This year my tax filing was very simple. And we didn’t do too badly on the refund either. That will help pay down some debt.

So, do you file early or wait to the last minute? Do you owe or does the Government owe you? Anything special planned for the refund?
