This Gift I Give To You: Giveaway Time!

It's been a LONG time since my last Giveaway and I apologize, but the time to announce the gift I giving away has finally arrived. And the Gift is......'Queen By Right' by Anne Easter Smith! *squeals*

For the longest time I couldn't decide what I wanted to give away, until Fate struck again! Remember when I won this book for myself? For some reason, I received two copies of this and I had my answer. Thank you Fate! Are you wondering how you can enter into this Giveaway? Just scroll down a little and I'll tell you how:

1. Comment below, because it makes me feel loved.
2. Send me an email at:carolerae4488@yahoo.com, so I can add your name to the hat (aka Random.org to help me pick randomly)
3. If you're a follower or become a follower you'll get your name added twice to the Hat of Random Picking.
4. If you share this Giveaway and this blog to a friend you'll get your name added again to the Hat of Random Picking.
5. Just sit back and relax.
6. Open to everyone! Even if you live in space...well...maybe not the last part.

That's it! How simple is that? I'll announce the winner on September 18th. The last day to submit your name into the Hat of Random Picking is September 17th. On the 18th I'll send an email to the winner to let them know! Good luck everyone! ^.^

A Late Music Monday

Yet again I prove how forgetful I am. I forgot that yesterday was 'Music Monday' so I sat around doing laundry and watching the 'How I Meet Your Mother' marathon until work. I'm sorry! I'm a little forgetful sometimes -.- Anyways....happy late Monday everyone! I hope your weekends were fun and enjoyable. Summer is drawing to a close and my favorite season, Fall, is around the corner. I can't wait! Monday morning was the first chilly morning of the season, so I actually had to put on a hoodie. Shall we begin with the music?


~As promised, I'm introducing my favorite song of the moment. It's not new, I have loved this song and will always love this song. Even though I don't understand half of the lyrics because they are in Chinese, I still adore it! Nicky Lee is one of my favorite singers from abroad (even though he's an American). He's such a great singer and he's a great actor too! He played in 'Mulan'. Not the cartoon version, but a movie actually about the real Mulan. Well, the song (of course) is called 'No More Crying':

~In honor of my recent movie review, I've decided to pick my favorite music video ABOUT the movie that I can't get enough of. The song is "Never Too Late" by Three Days Grace, which oddly fits the movie. The video was created by Meanpooh.

This song runs in my while I read 'My Irresistible Earl' by Gaelen Foley. Not the original, but this remake by Boyce Avenue because it's a duet featuring Tiffany Alvord. It's 'She Will Be Loved' the original by my beloved Maroon 5. 

Now it's time for some humor! ^.^ Well, it's a mix of funny and news. I love his "news" show, he's a funny dude. His name is Phil DeFranco and click here to go to his YouTube page. This week's video is labeled 'U Mad Bro?!'

~*~

QUESTION TIME!


Now it's time for Question time! What's Question Time? Well, it's a new feature I'm adding to 'Music Mondays' that will allow me to answer a couple questions relating to music each week.. This allows me to be more random and ramble on and on! Haha! Feel free to share you're own answers to these questions. Feel free to ask questions too! Shall we begin?


Q: If you could pick one song to be your intro song when you enter a room, what would it be?
A: Ooooh, let's see...I would probably have to pick 'Invincible' sung by Ok Go. 

Q: What's you're favorite musical/play?
A: That's another toughie! It's a tie between 'Moulin Rouge' and 'Oklahoma!'. Two completely different musicals, but I love them dearly.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this week's selection of videos. I'll try next week to post the post on time and not the next day.

Sunday/Monday Ketchup

~'Sunday Ketchup' is a weekly meme created by me (Carole) which was inspired by The Muse in the Fog's 'Suddenly Sunday' postings. However, when I went to spell 'Catchup' I accidently spelled the wrong version of the word. I thought it sounded cute, so it stayed. Plus I adore ketchup, so it's extra okay. ^.^ If you want to join in the ketchup goodness, feel free just make sure to mention me.~

Sorry about the late posting, I forgot that it was Sunday and I was just so busy I didn't even have time to take a nap before work. Oh well...anyhow, a lot has happened these last couple of weeks; on the blog and off! It's been a little hectic if you ask me. How has life been treating you all? Have you been busy too or is it just me? 


Past Week Posts:


~Apologies and News
~Childhood Wednesday: Finale
~Book Review: Bewitched by Sandra Schwab
~Movie Review: Shinobi, Heart Under Blade


What Came in the Mail/Store?:
I only received the movie 'Shinobi: Heart Under Blade' which I already watched and reviewed. I couldn't help myself! =) 


What's Going to Be Posted This Upcoming Week?:
Mhmmm, I hope I have time to post the normal stuff and perhaps a book review or two. I'm not sure what I'm going to post on Wednesdays....I don't know if I want to restart with 'Wildcard Wednesday' or not...what do you think? Maybe I'll come up with something different. We shall see.


Anything New For the Blog?:
Well, the other day I added a 'Labels' section right below the 'Rating System' section. I've been meaning to do a label section for quite some time, but never found the motivation. I'll be updating the 'Quotes section', 'Favorite Song of the Moment' section, and the Music Video page. Oh, yes, I have a new favorite song so I'll announce that soon! Plus, 'Music Monday' will have a new feature or two. Wow....I'm going to be one busy beaver this week!


Tim Horton News:
It's Labor Day weekend, so we've been slightly busy. Also, we are beginning our Fall menu which is slightly exciting! Also, we are bringing back the bread bowls and introducing new Paninis. I finished my videos on how to make them and they seem pretty good and easy to make. September 28th will be my one year anniversary with Tim Hortons, so that's a pretty neat achievement! Oh! I am now being forced to wear the white bakers outfit when I bake (poo), but I've avoided it this long so I'm okay with it.


Anything Else?:
Yes! I can't help but spoil this for you guys....sometime this week I'll be announcing my give-away! You may be asking, "What is she giving away this time?" Well, I won't tell you exactly WHAT it is, but I'll give you a hint....it is a book and it has a pretty cover. ^.^ I can't wait!!


There's a lot of news this week! It's bound to be another busy week both off and on the blog. Hope you guys have a great week!
