Weekend in Review ~ Celebs, headaches, contests and more!

I hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend. It has been a rainy weekend here, which has matched my mood, lol. I actually had to lay down for awhile yesterday because my head was hurting so bad. I am NOT one to lay down to take a nap during the day, but I fell asleep pretty quick yesterday. Since my head isn’t hurting as bad today, I’m catching up on everything that should have been done this weekend. I still haven’t found a way to get out of doing laundry, lol!

I love to tweet on twitter. If you aren’t already following me, you should, lol! You can follow me by clicking here. Up until a few days ago, I only followed moms I knew, a couple of businesses,etc. I never thought of following celebs on twitter, but now I follow one. I was sucked into the madness of Ashton Kutcher vs CNN. They were in a race to a million followers on twitter. Ok, think about that for a minute…..ONE MILLION followers…holy crap that is a lot of followers reading the tweets of one man, lol! Ashton decided to buy malaria nets if he reached a million before CNN.

Long story short, he did it. He also inspired a bunch of other celebs to donate to the cause. You can support the cause by visiting Malaria No More and making a donation to provide nets to those in need. Each net is only $10 and can save a life. Be sure to leave a comment on this post if you donate to Malaria No More. I would love to tweet about it!

While the race to a million followers is over, you should still follow him. He tweets on a regular basis and has done video feeds that have been funny. You can follow him by clicking here

Blog Updates:

Over the next few weeks you will see a variety of changes here at Heathen Homeschoolers. As I’m settling into blogging on a regular basis, I am finding things that I need to change to improve my blog. I am planning new features (like conference info, resource links, etc) that I hope you will enjoy.

I have added a contact me tab. It makes contacting me even easier. I’m going to be adding my twitter and facebook info to that page as well.

Thanks to Melissa over at Real Parenting for Real Kids. I actually won a contest at her blog. I never win anything, so I was excited, lol!

I had a contest on this blog for advertisers that ended on Friday. I picked the winners using a random number generator. Congrats to our big prize winner Andy. Sharkbytes and Wiehanne won the second place prizes. The credits will be coming your way soon.

    Can’t wait to see the changes! Had to laugh at the tweet about your son telling you he was going to take a shower!

    His reply when I told him he could have at least wore undies while he walked through the house to tell me was “Why? Just you and sissy are here.” Oh the logic of eight year old boys, lol!
