Another Useful Firefox Addon - Lazarus: Form Recovery

Download it here ==> Lazarus: Form Recovery

How many times has this happened to you?  You just answered the question on a contest entry with a heartfelt response.  You couldn't possibly duplicate it.  You hit submit -  --  wait,  where did it go??   

I learned my lesson, and have gotten into the habit of saving any out of the ordinary response in Roboform before submitting just in case I encounter an error. 

There is an easier option.  I installed this Addon a while ago, today is the first time I've had to use it.

When you hit submit and your response disappears into a black hole, just hit the back button.  Right click - and Lazarus: Form Recovery has magically saved your text.  You simply click on it and it repopulates the text fields you just poured your heart and soul into.  It saved a lot of time for me today, though unfortunately I felt the need to blog about it, and I spent another 20 minutes on this post.

Each giveaway is different, but typically the first 500 to enter will win an awesome beauty product. This takes some skill, and you have to be focused.  I have the attention of a 3 year old, so I usually only bag a few.   But here's how I do it:

•  If you are not registered at Allure.com - set up your Account/Login ahead of time.
• Set your preferred reminder for every weekday at noon.  I use my Google Calendar.  I set it to email me 20 mins ahead so I can log in, and get the form filled and ready to submit at exactly noon.  I work every day so I just have to hope that the phone doesn't ring or a customer doesn't come in at that time. 
• After that first giveaway is over, I check the giveaway calendar for the rest of the day. http://www.allure.com/free-samples/2011/free-stuff-calendar#slide=1
• There are 6-7 giveaways each day, on the hour.  If there are other giveaways I want to try for I'll set my Google Calendar to send me a reminder email for that hour.
• Lather, rinse, repeat

Makeup, Hair Products, Styling tools...  they throw in some designer fashion items to keep it interesting.

Set your reminders now and Good Luck!

Alex, you have been Chopped.

This was a ton of fun for all of us. 

I was very proud of their kitchen skills, and I saw them using techniques they learned from me.  They actually pay attention sometimes! 

I think I went a little too easy on them with the ingredients, but it was their first time. 

They both made a salad.  Alex made a fruit salad with greens, and Chloe went with a Blue Cheese dressing.  Dried, sweet cranberries gave them both great flavor. 

Alex made a standard Pig in a blanket, while Chloe added some pizza sauce and cheese to hers.  It was the lack of sauce, and dressing on the salad, that ultimately did Alex in, and sadly, he was Chopped.

Chopped For Kids!

I was watching one of my favorites ,Chopped, with my son and he was totally into it.  That made me think, we should have our own "Chopped" Competition.

 Sunday at 2pm - my son (9yo) and daughter (12yo) will duke it out and see who gets "Chopped"

Here are the Secret Ingredients:  (no, they don't read my blog)

• Cranberries
• Mini Hotdogs
• Crescent Rolls
• Spinach

This is their first time, so I'm going very easy on them..

Feel free to play along!  I will post our pics and winning dish!!
