Almost every year the Food Network does a show on Tailgating, one of the shows was about the different type of foods that people make when they tailgate. Now these were not what everyone expects no there were no regular hamburgers and hotdogs. There were some really elegant meals being made. I could not believe how many websites are dedicated to tailgating and giving tailgating ideas. One thing that crossed my mind is that you don't need to be at the game to tailgate and also you don't need to tailgate in order to enjoy all the recipes available. Of course tailgating is a plus, but I am on a mission to find some great tailgating food that I can do at home. I am looking for complete meals including a dessert. Do you have any favorite tailgating recipes or food? Please share it with me.

When I was in Junior High School, I learned how to play a few musical instruments. My specialty and first love was and still is the Alto Saxophone. Back then in my school all the girls either played the Flute or Clarinet. I was the only girl on that side of the classroom and I was very proud of that. Since the music teacher back then thought a girl should only be playing those 2 instruments and I showed him otherwise. Since then many girls have played what is considered boy instruments, such as the drums, trumpet, saxophones, trombone etc..
We had many instruments in our music class but I don't recall ever seeing a dave smith instrument. Dave Smith is an engineer and guitarist and is the one who discovered first polyphonic and microprocessor-controlled synthesizer, the Prophet 5. He has received numerous awards for his work over the years. He was known as the "Father of MIDI". Look him up you will surely learn something new.

I think it would be pretty cool to have your own challenge coins created. If you are not familiar with a challenge coin, it's a small coin or medallion that is made for various organizations bearing the insignia or emblem and is given to its members to carry. Usually the coins are seen in the military, but many organizations have them made. Normally the companies that make these charge for a die mold and then they charge per coin made. The pricing varies depending upon what company you use, but its a good promotional tool as well. So it maybe another way to promote your business, it something to look into if you want another unique idea.

I just wanted to let you know that Personal Creations has a Twitter page.I was checking out personalcreations.com Twitter page a few hours ago and I love the design. I design Twitter pages and I like seeing the custom designs people have. I like the colors and it was very well laid out. Sign up and you can get some coupons to use on their website. They tweet what ever coupons they are offering at the time, I don't think you get a coupon for signing up. I just wanted to make that clear. They almost have a thousand followers already. Following companies on Twitter is a great way to get discounts.

Well there is only 3 more shopping days until Christmas and if you are still looking for a gift or gifts how about giving some dakine backpacks. Yes I know you are saying a backpack? But I think everyone could use a backpack for something. Backpacks have many uses and not just for school. You can carry baby stuff in one, computers, paperwork, use it for travel and the list goes on. It's a lot easier to manage, because you put on your back and go. They have a lot of cute styles and are very affordable. One website has a lot of Dakine Backpacks on sale and they are offering free 2 day shipping on orders over $50. The website is called Rocky Mountain Trail. I use a backpack a lot and I would be happy if someone gave me one as a present. By the way there are a lot of companies that make backpacks Dakine just happens to be one them.
