Ultimate Blog Party 2010 - Welcome to A Simple Kinda Life!
Saturday, April 10, 2010
Welcome UBP 10 Partygoers! I'm so honored to have you here on my little spot on the blogosphere! My name is Angie, and I'm a single mom of 3 who's recently unemployed and in a difficult situation right now. I'm dealing with it the best I know how and trying to be positive!
Here at A Simple Kinda Life, you'll find me writing about the products that companies send me to review, as well as Wordless Wednesday! My personal posts are now held on a private blog due to privacy issues, but you can see the button for that in the left sidebar.
Prior to my being unemployed, I was a government contractor and I'm looking for that work again. I'm contemplating a move from Maryland to Washington State if I don't find a job soon because I have family there! I love reading, all kinds of music, and anything purple or involving Tinkerbell. Don't get me started on my Tiger fetish!
I'm also a self-described technie-in-training. I love learning more about computers, which includes hands-on and I hope to get a MCSE soon! I LOVE social networking - you can find me on Twitter as @pricousins but more than likely, you'll find me over at Facebook, either chatting around or playing Mafia Wars!
Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the world, and if giveaways are your thing, I've got a list of current giveaways on my left sidebar, under the UBP 10 button! If you do like giveaways, be sure to subscribe (also in left sidebar) because I've got TONS of great stuff coming up here at A Simple Kinda Life!
Now, since it's a PARTY and I'm over here partying like a rock star - there's prizes and I love em! So, here's my top three that I would LOVE:
- The Toshiba Laptop provided by 5 Minutes for Mom
- Be My Guest certificate ($250 value) for one lucky winner, (2 night stay for a family of four) at any Hilton Garden Inn.
Provided by: Hilton Garden Inn

- Get Fit Pack: One “lucky” winner will get a triple threat of Jillian Michaels. Pack contains 30 Day Shred, Yoga Meltdown, The Biggest Loser Last Chance Workout. Pack also includes an aluminum water bottle to help stay on track and stay hydrated!

And if my top three picks are already chosen, I’d love any of the following (in order of preference):
US100, US107, USC3, USC8, USC13, USC15, USC25, USC37 or anything else that I could use to buy something for my kids or myself!
PARTY ON~ and be sure to leave a comment letting me know you were here and so that I can stop by your blog too because this party is really about creating new relationships!!

I understand how you want to move near family. I hope your situation improves. Instability can be so frustrating.

Hi Angie! I just wanted to let you know that I've been subscribed to your post for a while now and I'm sending positivity your way that things will start turning better for you in your current situation. I don't have a blog yet, but I do enjoy reading blogs and entering giveaways. I really would like to start a blog, but I'm not exactly sure how. Sure wish I had your techy computer skills. Some employer out there definitely is going to benefit from hiring you! I hope that you win some of the great prizes that you listed. Take care and keep on blogging.
