Red Box Instant- Free Month Trial + 4 Free Rentals

I just found out about Redbox Instant and I have to say I'm pretty excited about it!  We are constantly going to the Redbox, at least every weekend and there are always more movies that I want to see than I'm willing to bring home.  Because.. if I'm perfectly honest with myself, I SUCK at actually bringing those moves BACK to the Redbox!  Having two or three movies out at a time and forgetting them for a week or two can be costly!

And it's also kind of annoying, heading to the Redbox looking forward to a movie that just came out only to see that it's unavailable!  Now, yes, I probably should utilize their online holding feature, but I'm usually just picking up movies after work and don't often keep track of what's coming out when (Although this weekend we're looking forward to Side Effects!)

So here's what our free trial is going to include (and yours too,if you sign up!)


Unlimited streaming PLUS 4 free kiosk rental credits per month for subscribed users. Join Redbox Instant by Verizon for unlimited streaming movies PLUS 4 DVD rental credits at any Redbox kiosk. Join today to get started!

Stream to your computer, Xbox 360, Samsung Smart TV & Blu-ray players, Apple iPhones & iPads, and Android phones & tablets!

After trial, just $8/mo and you'll continue to enjoy 4 Redbox DVD credits every month.

Each credit is good for 1 overnight rental of 1 DVD. If you keep your DVD an extra night, it just uses another credit. You won't be charged until your credits are all used up. And the next month it refills to 4 DVD credits again. 


You may cancel at any time.


Sound good to you?  Sounds good to me!  Click here to visit Redbox Instant

Moving Up the Ladder?

I mentioned yesterday that I was up for consideration for a supervisory position at Kohls.  And if I didn't mention it yesterday, I should have.

So here are the details..

Our store is one of five total in the company chosen to start a pilot program which I probably can't say anything about.. BUT there are some newly created supervisory positions going along with this pilot.

The good news?  I feel I'm very qualified for at least two positions. 

The bad news?  They're overnight positions!

I talked it over with Eric and he agrees that this isn't something I can pass up, so I applied for both positions I felt I was most qualified for.  I spoke to my Asst Store Manager and he explained a little bit more in detail what would be required, asked about my availability and willingness to supervise, explained the differences in the two positions (not quite a whole lot, but then again, they are new and the roles aren't clearly defined as of yet), and asked if I was still interested.

Hell yes!

Working overnight would be a HUGE challenge and I don't know how well I'd handle it BUT I know I can make it work if I get the job.  We're talking about a substantial increase in hours, a shift differential, and --I'm assuming-- a raise for taking on a supervisory role.  I can definitely live a few months with no sleep (duh, I had two kids!) and after that hopefully I'll be able to find a preschool that won't  take my entire paycheck... or at least get on a waiting list for childcare assistance.

I'll be talking to (the haven't formally said it's an interview) the overnight manager at the asscrack of dawn tomorrow morning.  His shift will just be ending, mine will just be starting, so we'll chat in between.  I kinda know this guy, kinda not.  I mean, I've seen him in passing, worked with him last year for a few days during inventory, but I don't *know him* know him.  And he can say the same for me.  So I hope I'll be able to make a good impression.  I'm sure the rest of my supervisors and managers have already told him what a great worker I am.  No, really... I'm a great worker!

It's about damn time I move up from this minimum wage work!  (For the record, I am making more than minimum wage.. I'm just making a point)  I'm tired of this teenager stuff, and I have NOTHING to put on a resume.  Hopefully that will all change very soon!

Wish me luck everyone, this mama has her hand on the ladder!

Throwback Thursday

Still my fave pic of Matthew, 3 yrs
Lucas, 7mo

Screw That!!

I've decided to get back into blogging.. and I wanted a fresh start, so I thought I'd go over to wordpress and try things out over there... SCREW THAT!

I'll stick with Blogger, thank you very much, until I'm so freakin popular that I have my own domain!

What's been going on here?  Not much.

I don't do Avon anymore.

I quit smoking last week. 

I'm being considered for a supervisor position at Kohls.

Vacation to Florida is coming up at the end of July

Matthew is home from school today, but his last day isn't until Monday.

I've been spending all of my time on Cafemom.

Annnddd... that's about it.

I'll be working the rest of this week on overhauling what I have here... I need to revise some pages, catch up with whatever other blogs I enjoyed, get things settled again. 

Feels good to be back!
