...so it's been a busy month! I know i've been away a while, but haven't gone too far. I was busy party planning! I had a big 30th Birthday Bash with my cousin 40-year old cougar. What a night! There were between 250 and 300 people at the party and it was one of the best nights ever. We danced all night and just had a great time! I thank all those who came...thanks for making our night so much fun!
Aside from that I helped plan Alexa's CD Release Party. That was also very successful and we just couldn't be happier. Her CD is out now so get your copy!! It's called "Edge of Gone" and check out her facebook page for a list of locations: http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Alexa-dEntremont/154353834623657
In other news, a friend of mine sent me this article and I couldn't help but laugh. Some people are just dumb....no other word that I can use...just dumb. You'll see what I mean lol :

Survivor...
...so I've been watching Survivor since the beginning. Over the last few seasons, I've noticed a trend. It's the trend of the Blue Safari Shirt! The host, Jeff Probst, is constantly wearing the same shirt...every show, every event, everything. Take note of the blue shirt...you'd think they could afford a variety of colors, styles, etc.

Halloween treats...
...so is there a need to have a holiday devoted to Candy Consumption? Those little chocolate bars are the death of me. We all....ADMIT IT!!!....take one, then just cause it's little we take the second and that sometimes leads to the third, etc...
Not only that, I feel the need to eat them quickly. LIke, shove 3 in one after the other as if it makes any difference on the calorie count! Like, what the heck? Yup, take one then unwrap the other two as quick as I can and inhale them. I dont know if I do this so nobody seems me...or i'm trying to trick my body into thinking I only ate one cause I only opened my mouth once...I don't know. It's kinda ridiculous!
I also ate a mini bag of cheesies. I actually justified it to myself by telling Hubby that there was only 100 Calories in the whole bag! HAHAHA Yup, and actually that's no lie...the thing I left out was the fact that there was 9 grams of fat in that same 100 Calories...oops!!
Sadly, my thighs know the truth...

ALEXA CD RELEASE...
Hope to see you all there! We have a great band and you'll get to hear every track on the album - LIVE!!
"Love and Marriage..." ...
...So Kim Kardashian is getting a divorce after 72 days. It's funny cause I honestly thought maybe she liked him. Apparently not but it worked out in her favor anyways. This year, so far, she's made $65 million. Guess the wedding talk, wedding prep, the actual wedding, the TV specials regarding the wedding, etc... worked well for her wallet! I bet she'll still profit from the divorce by selling her story to every tabloid known to mankind. This will drag on forever.
She's being mocked by everyone so I think she's been facing a harsh reality over the last few days. No one in the media is feeling bad for her...actually she's the butt of every joke (no pun intended lol )
According to reports, there was a pre-nup. On the show they talked a lot about this pre-nup and Kim acted like she didn't want one as it was true love. Apparently that was all an act as you can't be soooooo in love one day and divorced 72 later.
These celebrities are ruining what marriage is all about. It's a shame cause there are people in this world who actually do get married for love. Oh well, gives us something to talk about.
You wait...she'll be in the hospital in no time because she's sooooo devastated and doesn't eat or something ridiculous. I'm calling it now :)

Website...
...so as some of you know, I've been real busy helping Alexa get her career off the ground. It's been a HUGE project and I have put everything I have into this with her. She's like one of my own so I would do anything to see her succeed. There are lots of things involved with getting a CD off the ground - who knew?
You might surprised but it's many hours in the studio, many hours of listening and fine tuning things, a website needs to be perfect, the CD Packaging needs to be perfect, the cover photo needs to mesh with the vibe of the CD, the rights to the songs needs to applied for, the CD Release needs to be planned, the CD's need to be ordered, the band needs to get organized...then is radio promotion, Gigs to promote the album, a trip to Nashville in the New Year....the list goes on.
It's a lot of work so anytime you can get some help from a pro in each of those areas, it's a huge weight lifted from your shoulders. When we started talking about the website - the stress began. How do we do this? Who do we call? Do we have to code out a site? How do you buy a domain name? What the hell is a domain name? LOL...as you can see we were pretty novice at this.
I called Register.com...afterall it's down the road from my office and I know tons of people there...good starting point. I have to say, Register.com is the most organized, helpful, amazing organization i've ever had to deal with. You do get moved on from person to person but each person knows exactly what part of the process you are at and the flow continues like clockwork. It's not like when you call a company and they pass you on and you have to start all over again. You get moved to the next person when you're done with the first. I never repeated myself once. By talking to them in a series of phone calls they set up a proof. Then you review and keep doing that till it's done. After every call you get an email notifying you of what part of the process you are at and what's to be expected the next time. It's the easiest thing ever. I know absolutely nothing about websites and I ended up creating this:
www.musicbyalexa.com
Check it out! I'm real proud of the way it turned out! They helped with write-ups, layout, font, picture placing, all the different tab ideas...EVERYTHING! You have to pay a monthly user fee and it's so worth it cause when you need something changed or added you can just fire off an email and within 3 days it's done! Easy, Easy, EAAAAASY!
Register.com: You guys really do amazing work! Thanks :)

Extreme Couponing...
...so I watched the above show last night. I had seen it before but really got into last night as it must have been a marathon or something. These people are nuts, in a good way! They spend about 40 hrs per week clipping coupons, researching grocery sales and organizing their stock piles. One lady went to the store and 9 hrs later she bought over $1100 worth of stuff for $8.00. It's crazy!! She had a big trailer to lug the stuff back home.
Keep in mind that our grocery stores don't have the same promotions as the US stores so it wouldn't be as easy to do here...but could still be effective. This one lady had a bunch of coupons for cereal. It didn't specify the size so she bought the mini cereal boxes. Her coupon was for 50 cents off and the cereal was on sale for 25 cents per box. The store doubled the coupons so on each box she made 50 cents! She bought 1200 boxes and MADE herself $300! It's nuts!!! She used that to buy things she didnt have coupons for like fruit and veggies.
It's totally addicting and amazing. I dreamt of groceries and food all fricken night....and woke up starving....ugh....
