Win One of Five Blu Prizes!

You have heard me talk about BluFrog Wildly Healthy Energy Drink before on this blog. Heck I even won a case of it from Martha Decker and received a case for Blogs, Brews and Belly Laughs from Jeremy Kendall, fine people who are BluFrog distributors. I first heard about BluFrog through my friend Heather, she had connected with Jeremy and through Heather we got to talking about the drink. I was really clamoring to try some because it is filled with great vitamins and it has the same caffeine as a cup of coffee and less sugar than other energy drinks.

Well, I got my chance to try it when I won a case. I drank it for a few weeks and all the while I monitored my blood sugar. I’m a type II diabetic and sugar and I are not the best of friends. I am not a doctor so I won’t tell you what the numbers were but let’s just say that I’d be happy drinking BluFrog as part of my diet. I also loved how it prevented me from the head-tilt-neck-jerk-sleepy-time-reflex that I get when I go into meetings. I was pumped and ready to listen to the most boring stuff you could throw at me. I could take it! For me it is the simple things.

On the Mend

On the Mend
Photo-A-Day #1412

Both Eva and I are on the mend. Eva is bouncing back much faster than I am. I never knew that these little carrier monkeys (and I mean that term most affectionately) could knock me on my butt as hard and as quick. I had never gone from feeling fine to a complete and utter wreck in such a short time. I must have looked pretty dismal because I got a crazy outpouring of sympathy and well wishing. Granted much was for Eva but I’ll take a bit for me too.

Today at lunch as Eva and I had some chicken soup (I’m pretty much all set with Chicken Soup for a while now) we got a phone call from my Dad. There was a package addressed to Me, Allison and Eva. I hadn’t won anything recently that would be arriving so quickly. Although I did just win a case of BluFrog Energy Drink from Martha Decker’s contest. And I also won a copy of the FuelMyBlog Global Cookbook. But neither of those items should have been here so soon. No, we weren’t expecting anything. The box was from Arizona, which is where Allison and I are going on a vacation I won from a Sony/Ericsson Promotion. But no that wasn’t what was in the box. This was totally unexpected.

The box contained a get well package from Market Leverage. It contained some coco, cookies, chicken soup mix and a very cute teddy bear in scrubs and a mask. They sent the gift basket through Creative Gifts To Go. It was such a sweet gesture and I know I have Dina Riccobono of Market Leverage TV to thank for it.

Now, the amazing thing is that I don’t even work with Market Leverage. I’ve been thinking about joining but just haven’t taken the leap. I’ve seen some awesome things that ML has done with regards to events for bloggers. What really makes me want to be a part of this is what they do with regards to charity events. I received an e-mail from Dina a little while back about a Charity Bowl-A-Thon that ML was sponsoring. I am going to do a much bigger blog post about this but here is the initial info about the event and the reason behind it.

We’re assisting with the promotion of an event to raise money for the Neimann-Pick Children’s Fund. One of our publishers, who runs the fund, has 2 children diagnosed w. Neimann-Pick disease, which is classified as a terminal illness. Their hospital exceed $100,000/ month, and we’re holding the event to help raise money for the cause.

Even if you don’t live locally, participants can still get involved by blogging about it, donating, or sponsoring the event. For more info, I’ve attached flyers with the event info, charity info, and a sponsor sheet in case you know anyone is interested. We’d really appreciate it if you could blog about this, and spread the word as much as possible.

I’ll be blogging more about this and I encourage you to help in whatever way you can.
