House for Kim

Buy Me a Drink, Get a Link

Posted by kim 05.21.2007 1:40 pm in Promulgations, Incantations

I frequently get requests for link exchanges, even blatant email ads on why I should add so-and-so’s link. Last year, I would have steered them to buy some pixel property in my virtual house for publicity, but now that my house is built, I’ve just been hitting delete, delete, delete.

So, I’ve been contemplating on how to monetize such requests that would benefit both of us. Thus the opportunity to Buy Kim a Drink, Get a Link on HouseForKim.com.

Inspired by John Delavera’s Buy Me a Drink, the concept is simple, buy me one of my favorite drinks (click for list - I’m a cheap date), and in return I’ll add your website url linked to your keywords on this very site. If you are ever near hickville, you can buy me a drink in person! I know several nice affiliate marketers have already bought me drinks at conferences I’ve attended, so if that’s you, contact me if you’d like your complimentary link added.

Got some change in your pocket? Buy Me a Drink Now!

What I’m Listening to on iTunes: “Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off” by Joe Nichols. For me, it takes Absolut Vodka, therefore I’ve deliberately left that off my list of drinks.

Meat Me on the Flip Side

Posted by kim 05.20.2007 1:42 pm in Specifications, Supplications, Concessions, Excursions

I just finished reading Stephanie Klein’s book. She even created a list of “the perfect man for me” similar to my specifications. I liked her list so much, I decided to steal this point of hers and add it to my list.. Hearty sexual appetite, but not so much so that he is willing to stray. Obviously her and I both have experienced similar calamity.

Next up on the book agenda: Funny - He Doesn’t Look Like a Murderer But Margie is Dead by Shirley Pierce Bostrom I heard about the true-story book from my friend, Gayle, as the the story happened near her. Should be a twist of turns from the chick flicks I’ve been reading.

I’m headed to Colorado for Memorial Weekend to see my boyfriend (and he fits all my requirements), so I’ll have a chance to read at the airport. May go watch a pro-soccer game: Colorado Rapids vs Los Angeles Galaxy, but rumor has it pretty boy, David Beckham isn’t gonna show. I’m sure we’ll find other things to occupy our time. One being, eating at Old Chicago; I’ve become infatuated with thier Meat Me pizza.

Mundane Musings from Kim

Posted by kim 05.16.2007 7:07 pm in Digressions, Habitations, Supplications

My lawn is near complete. Retaining walls are done. Sprinklers are in. Bushes are planted. Rock Garden is set. The price of sod has more than doubled since last year, so cheapstake me opted for seed. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and obviously the consensus is that I should have sprang for sod. Hopefully this grows fine, so they can’t all say “told ya so.” Next up, I’ll need a new lawn mower. I’m gonna leave my POS-mower at my dad’s for the kids to use to mow his lawn.

Everything was done just in time for my sister’s graduation last weekend, and the graduation party was held here. I think I need a maid. Cleaning four bathrooms is not the funnest (yes, I know funnest is not a real word, but it’s my blog). And once school is out tomorrow for the summer, I think I’m gonna need a nanny. Why can’t I live somewhere with year-round school?

Is it true that if you put an American Flag in your front yard that Jehovah’s Witnesses won’t knock at your door? I ask cuz one woke me up from a nice nap yesterday morning by ringing the doorbell. And I thought they only went out “calling” on Saturdays? I’m all for freedom of press/speech/religion/yadda yadda, just don’t try to convert me.

Why was I napping? Cuz I can. I work from home. And my youngest daughter was up most of the night puking her guts out. Thirteen times. She kept count. Poor thing had to miss her third grade field trip to the Henry Doorly Zoo. Oh, and she donated her hair to Locks of Love, too.

What I’m Reading Now: Straight Up And Dirty: A Memoir by Stephanie Klein. It’s a true story about a gal dating after divorce. Although I don’t like that she skips around the time line throughout, I find a lot of similarities between her and I so far. She has her own blog and is a little more vocal than I am about her private life. She even has preemies twins. And now my cousin is expecting twins!
