Sully Thinks He's Kindof a Big Deal

Here is Sully aka in his show days as AKC Champion Kokomo's Smokey's on Fire.  Here he is all smiles after becoming a champion at 9 months old.  He wants his whole family at Casa King to try out toothsoap.  Since he was shown as a puppy, they fed him raw, that wreaks havoc on the teeth.  He is now on Evo kibble since retiring to Nebraska, but his teeth are still NASTY.  Since 2007, he has had his teeth scaled 2 times at 200 a pop.  I think if this works better then brushing, the whole family will have to give a shout out to those involved in this giveaway!

Over on the review & contest some cool stuff is going down!

So over on my Review and Contest blog, you can see the review to the book Uncubicled. I read it on my Kindle as many of you may remember. It was pretty good so I tweeted about it, giving the author his due props. He asked in return I write a review for Amazon for it. I did, then copied the review to my new blog. It was my first review. Next I had the long awaited dog bike basket found and ordered. What the hell, let;s post my 2 cents on that too. Done. Now I need ideas for a contest or two.

There is a lip product called, I kid you not, Chicken Poop! Honestly this was going to be the kick off contest. Something along the lines of, "I give a shit about your lips." Come on it's is right up my warped sense of humor! A couple tubes of Chicken Poop to a couple winners one grand prize getting a tube and something like Cornhusker lotion (as I reside in the Cornhusker state currently) or Udderly Smooth, keeping it all farm-like. Though I don't live on a farm, more like a zoo with, Corey, Logan and Sully! :)

I will likely buy an extra copy of the new Collective Soul CD and give one away. But that isn't till August. And it will NOT be signed as I can't even get a signed pic for Logan. Darn it. My hopes with this contest they see the tweet and re-tweet it giving me the flood of traffic I got on here. They are all about the whole social networking thing, so it is shamelessly right up their alley! If they miss the tweet, someone will still be getting a rockin' CD so really there is no downside to it!

So to the gist of this whole rambling post...I got in touch with author of Uncubicled, he agreed to send out an autographed copy of the book to the winner of my blog contest.

So those who follow this blog, if you have not already, pop on over to the review portion of my insanity and follow it too. Thanks if you got this far! And thank you to Lisa for making me the cute little button!

Collective Souls new single hits Itunes TODAY

It's called "Staring Down," you know you want to DL it too! I took this pic as proof I downloaded it, while I was syncing it to my Rhythm.

To The CS guys, Where is the rabbit?

Come on Mom's lets show those boys how we can get them to #1! Yes, it is another CS contest and I am entering it in hopes of getting a call from the guys on Logan's birthday!

Throwing our name in the hat for Collective Soul prizes!

So Collective Soul is doing this contest for a bunch of cool stuff for their fans. This is on top of all their tweeting on Twitter, blogs, to behind the scenes Youtube footage. I am entering with the story of me and more so for Logan.

They came in to my life quite on accident. Once day in in History or Sociology Mr Novak was raving about this band from Georgia he stumbled across at a concert. Brandishing their CD as I zoned out he put it in and started playing it. Krimsin immediately zoned back in, hello for once agree with the left over from Woodstock on some tunes he was playing for the class. Quickly they were on Z93 and in high rotation. Once Hot94.7 spun up Hints was a major filler CD. By the time I was working there, I could sing (sometimes with a hot mic) all the songs. In the 6 months there I was burnt out, after all I had been listening to the same CD once an hour every shift. I moved away for a while from the band, till Corey stumbled into my life a couple months later.

As the time went on CD came, and went and oddly marked some event in my life. Dosage is likely my favorite. College and moving away from my hometown.

Youth will be the CD that I had to buy 3 times. First CD went MIA after Corey left that and another CD on the back of his tauno cover. Some where on 12th street there is a very happy farmer. The next one just disappeared, and may one day show up. Needless to say with the disappearance of #2 we learned make copies put originals away.

Time came and went till 2004 and being preggo with Logan. He was constantly moving it was fairly odd. I wasn't one of those irrational pregnant women, but with a few things. Music was one of them. I bought many odd CD's, I never listened to again after one listen. I wanted She Said w/o having to fast forward through the song. So since my luck was I couldn't find it right at that time in Omaha, I went to Ebay found one asked the guy how much if I just outright bought it. 18 bucks, irrational pregnant Krimsin quickly paid and then had it sent overnight. Logan listened happily to that CD and slowed the constant kicking of my internal organs.

Logan we knew early on was a fan of Collective Soul from that, as he was having troubles adjusting to the move, every night he wouldn't sleep without us popping in some CS for him to clam him down and sleep for a couple hours. As he became older, we realized music was one way he could easily learn. And yes, I exploited it, constantly having The Wiggles, Choo Choo Soul, playing. I never thought though he would still prefer in the cars and bedtime to listen to CS! So, one of the secrets of how smart my little dude is, is he listened to Collective Soul, like Mozart for the rockers! We stumbled across HOME on a music channel one day and DVRed it for Corey and I to watch as we were always missing the live shows due to one stupid thing or another. Well we still have it and Logan has claimed the show as his, watching it at least once a week. Could have been worse, like Barney or something, right? At 2 having him sitting with his Grandfather's old acoustic and singing along with Ed on the Tv. Now jammin' along with his mini electric guitar, he still is at it. The one he got for his third birthday along with the Dosage poster.

Even Mothers Day this year Corey was playing Collective Soul on his new N4 in the spare room(his early Father's Day gift for this year), as I lay in the tub reading my new Kindle 2. Most the tabs he has are of course Collective Soul.

I have debated back and forth about this section. I decided to put it in. Most who will actually read this already know about this portion of my life. Those who didn't know know even I have had moments of pure weakness. I had Logan in 2004, in the mists of a failed move to Elko, NV. Our life was chaos, Corey busy with career prospects, family was not there, and here was I with a newborn baby. Stuck in Hastings, NE with knowing no one. When most talk about postpartum depression, they talk about the disassociation with their child. If not for the little dude, I would likely not be there. I functioned for him, not for myself. This went on for close to 18 months. From the outside looking in everyone thought I was Super-Mom. I took such good care of Logan. No one looked deeper to see I was a shell of myself. I tried to tell family and friends something wasn't right, no one believed I could be feeling that way and ignored my comments. I hated myself, but kept on for Logan. No one, even my husband looked at what I had been saying until the day I had ALL of my hair cut off. Nice donation to Locks-of Love. I came home, locked myself in the bathroom, turned on the CD player and cried my head off to Compliment. I cut all my beautiful hair off, gone all gone. I realized that if I was going to get through life, since I couldn't go on like I was, I would have to do it alone. I went into the doctor in the next couple days and surprise, surprise, I had a form of depression. Tried the whole pills thing for six months, nope. Forced myself out of the house and my life at the YMCA began.

As stated before Logan learns a lot through music, also meaning he assigns songs, groups, ect to objects and people. One of Corey's co-workers, and my friend Marla was assigned Better Now just because we were talking about it in the car while it was on one day. That was several years ago. Our dog Sully, was sold to us from a breeder in Hollywood. Guess what CD was in high rotation in our house in August 2007? Every time I hear Hollywood, even when Logan is not around I hear him yell, "Mom, it's the song they wrote just for Sully!" We badly wanted to go to the live show when CS hit Council Bluffs in 07, but Logan was unable to make it into the casino, so it was a no go. I was hoping for Logan's 5th birthday, we could have brought him to the Topeka show. He wanted to go so badly. Sadly Corey, couldn't get the time off of work. I am mainly doing this because if I were to win the contest, the guitar would be mounted on the wall (out of reach for now) in Logan's room as a birthday gift.

This is once of those things right up our alley!

One of the coolest contests I have ever seen! I know my geek is shining brightly right now, but come on, it's artwork of your personal genome!!!! www.Momdot.com has some of the most awesome contests on the web, this is just one of them. I also enjoy the blog, thanks to Lisa. Blogs that deal with triumphs and not so much in motherhood makes me feel like I am more together and dare I say normal than I tend to give myself credit for. Here is the link to the genome art give-a-way!
