Twix Bites Bite Size Big Taste Prize Pack Giveaway

Hey there.  How many of us go to the movie theater?  I'm pretty sure each of us has gone out to catch a flick on the big screen.  One of the best things about heading out to the theater is having the whole movie going experience with that special someone.  That includes settling into those comfy chairs, picking up a tub of popcorn, and grabbing that perfect movie watching candy snack to share.  But that's where it gets a bit difficult...  what is the perfect movie candy snack to share?  Personally, I go with the chocolate.  The wife and I LOVE chocolate.  In particular, Twix bars.  The problem with getting Twix, though, is that we'll finish it before we even know it.  Once the wrapper comes off, you just have to eat the whole thing!  If only they came in small bite sized bits so that they'll last through the whole movie!  Well, guess what?!  Our good friends at Mars Chocolate have solved our problem.  Introducing Twix Bites!  The perfect bite sized snack for movie watching!  Don't believe me?  Well, let's put it to the test, no?

What I'm Playing... Seed 4 Lord of War

Hey there. Mobile gaming is everywhere now a days. You can play games on your handheld gaming system, smartphone, or tablet.  It's impossible not to be sucked into a complete time waster (Flappy Bird, anyone?) or get immersed in total war with others (Clash of Clans).  So when a mobile game is recommended to me, I always check it out to see if it falls in one of the above categories.  So what's my latest time waster?  Seed 4!  Seed 4 is the 4th installment in the Seed series.  I haven't had a chance to check out the previous three but I have had a chance to play this one and you know what... I'm loving it!

The Case of the Missing Wedding Picture

Our wedding picture.  Well... not quite but pretty damn close!  lol

Hey there. Every weekend, for the past month or so, the wife and I have been working our butts off to make our house a home.  We've put up furniture, we've put up curtains, we've picked up couches, we've set up our kitchen, we cleared out our garage, we've set up our rooms, we even got ourselves a new TV.  But you know what... it still didn't feel like home.  Like my wife mentioned last weekend, it still feels like we're staying in a hotel.  Hmmm...  It sucks when your house doesn't feel like your home, but we realized why!  We had absolutely NO pictures up on the walls.  NONE.  We've spent so much time and energy setting everything else up that we didn't bother with the pictures.  Well, that's the project we handled last weekend!

Damn You Blogging Gods!!!

It's true.  Says so in the blogging codex.

Hey there.  I've been away for a bit.  I've been extremely busy getting our home move in ready.  Oh, I didn't tell you guys?!  We're moving!  I've been working feverishly to get all kinds of projects done before we move in full time.  But I degress... that's for another blog post.  I spent the last 2 hours working on a blog post.  I filled you in as to what was going on and one of my awesome Super Mario themed ideas that I was going to start working on.  And then... the blogging gods decided that my blog post was too damn good to share with the world and decided to devour it.  NOOOOOOOO!!!!  2 hours of work, gone.  Vanished.  Disappeared.  Even though there is an auto save feature in Blogger, for whatever reason, my post simply disappeared.
