I may have mentioned back in December that my previous employer gave us iPads for Christmas. It was an awesome gift and I literally use my iPad every day. I love all of the free apps out there. One of my favorites is words with friends, and angry birds is pretty addicting too. 

There is also a new app out there called the collection. It’s a kind of digital magazine with the latest current events. I love keeping up with the news and knowing what is happening in the world, and this app lets me do that. I can’t fold a newspaper to save my life and I love how I could have all the news and info I want without the clutter. If you already have an iPad you should definitely download the collection from the app store now.

If you don’t have one, don’t pout. The Collection is having a contest right now to win an iPad of your own! I’m envious because my iPad is first generation and this is the snazzy new one. All you have to do is tweet to enter. Check it out and good luck! If you win the iPad you have to promise to play words with friends with me.  

I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this before but I love to make my own cards. Remember the ones I made for Match’s birthday? I love printing out cute photos and putting them on a handmade card. They are just so much more fun than buying an overpriced cheesy hallmark card.

Well with Mother’s Day coming up I wanted to do something special for my mom and my Mother in Law. Unfortunately my stupid printer is on the fritz and it’s really cramping my creative style. Whenever I turn my printer on it goes through that whole process of aligning the inkjet cartridges and sucking up all of the ink. It’s really annoying because we’ve been going through printer ink crazy fast. Luckily I found inkgrabber.com where I can get cheap ink online. They happen to be having a sale right now too, with 10% off any order. Just in time for Mother’s Day!

Tracy: I need to protect my reputation. You take away my street cred, and I am Wayne Brady.

Liz: Nuh-uh. Wayne Brady has three Emmys. You have a People’s Choice Award that you stole from Wayne Brady. -30 Rock

I’ve been given this lovely award by The Guy’s Perspective. My only male readers (that I know of!) these guys have a great take on relationships. If you haven’t read their blog, what are you waiting for?

So this is one of those awards where I need to pay it forward, to fifteen of my blogger friends. Here they are in alphabetical order (because I’m a Virgo, and I organize!)

Things I Said and Meant to Say

Welcome to the Jungle

“Maybe some women aren’t meant to be tamed. Maybe they just need to run free till they find someone just as wild to run with them. “-Carrie, Sex and the City

This year I have turned over a new leaf. I am single, but instead of moping and feeling bad about it, I’ve embraced it joyfully. There will never be a time like this in my life again. I’m young, in shape or at least trying to be, no children, and the world ahead of me.

Women all around me consider singleness to be some sort of illness you’re inflicted with, and the only cure is a relationship. I say bugger to that! I say single women should look at all the freedom that comes with being on your own, and raise our purses and say HELL YES! Let’s make the most of this time, and get everything out of it we can. That way, when we do find that man that tames our wild ways, we will never look back and say what if? We will say what was, and then look forward to the future what now?
