9 Things I Learned This Week-#66

Games For Charity

I don't know how long it's been there, but I just discovered this week that at the animal rescue site there is a "games" tab on the side where you can play a variety of games and raise money for the cause. I think all the different causes have this including Breast Cancer, Rainforest, Literacy, Child Health, and hunger. There are 20 games to choose from so what are you waiting for? Click on either the Breast Cancer or Animal Rescue Site badges on my sidebars to go there.

Cleveland Weather

On April 1, we set a record high temperature of 83 degrees here in Cleveland! I LOVE it!

Two Tribe Tickets For Volunteers

The Cleveland Indians are promoting volunteerism to help local charities coordinated through Business Volunteers Unlimited. If you get just 4 hours of volunteer work validated through the volunteer center, you get a voucher for 2 free tickets to an Indians game. I went to Indians.com/volunteer to see how it worked and what was available. The person who logs in the most hours through BVU will get to throw out the first pitch at the Sept. 16 game! Cheers to the Cleveland Indians for doing this!

We Won The Basketball Pool

That's right! I won $30 and Gerard won $15 in his work pool for March Madness. Only nine people were in it and we were the only ones who had Duke going all the way! Thanks, Duke!

How To Make A Blog Signature

I've seen signatures on blogs and wondered how they do that. This week I came across a post at Mommy Moment that gives step-by-step instructions if you're interested: How To Make Your Own Signautre. It sounds easy with the wizard at www.mylivesignature.com.

The Blog Frog

I just learned from SITS about the Blog Frog community and joined. It's a forum type thing where you can connect your blog and promote it and have readers interact with one another. Basically, another time eater, but a place to "meet" more bloggers and find more blogs. Here's the link to my community: .

Noteworthy Bible

This week I found a new blog, Sugar Tails that shared about a thing called a noteworthy Bible. It's a Bible that has blank pages for notes or prayers across from every page of text. Read about making a treasure for your children at her post: A Noteworthy Idea.

Nurses

Did you know poop comes in all colors or that it is possible to sleep standing up? I came across a funny post by a nurse who shares things she didn't know until she became a nurse and these two were mentioned. I learned more what nurses go through from reading Things I Didn't Know Until I Became A Nurse.

Sirius Radio

We just discovered this week that we get more channels now. We never used to get channels above 200 and now we do! The XM Sports channels--goody!
