Have you ever searched for your home town on YouTube? You might be surprised what you find.

Okay so my kids have been asking me “Mom what have you been putting on YouTube?”, everyone in town is talking about it. OMG I mean I am trying to stay at home and mind my own business, and I still get talked about in small town America.

I have been involved with affiliate marketing, because it is something I can do from my home, on my computer, and not have to get involved in the small town BS. Okay, so I am helping Affiliate Summit with a new mentor program to help new attendees have a better experience at the Summit. I got up enough courage to actually video myself and talk about this program. Believe me it isn’t easy, I am not a very outgoing person anyway. I had also put a couple of slide shows on YouTube that I had submitted to Affiliate Summit for a contest.

Anyway I guess it was embarrasing to my kids to have their Mom on YouTube. Oh well, I am. So, now what? I started to see what else was out there about this fine small town. These are a few YouTube videos that I found that were about, Shamrock, Texas.

Looks like we have lawn mower races, tornadoes, songs about St. Patrick’s Day “Donagel Beard Contests”, Route 66 and the famous “U-Drop Inn” (featured in the Disney’s Pixar movie Cars, as Ramones Body Shop, and last but not least a video about my Parent’s campground and their long marriage.

Yes I Said Passion !

Passion: a strong or extravagant fondness, enthusiasm, or desire for anything.

I went shopping yesterday and bought myself something that really excites me. I can get lost in this and it takes me to a different place in my imagination. I can escape everything else and totally get creative.

Most women, when they go shopping, get excited about a new pair of shoes, a new dress, or piece of jewelry to accessorize their outfit. Well not for me, at least not yesterday. I was not in the mood to go to the mall and shop for these things, I was in the mood to buy something that fulfills my deepest desire. I went to the store that specializes in my passion and now I am ready to get creative. Below is a picture of what I bought.

The thing about these colored pencils, is that they are so smooth when you use them, they blend very well and make an excellent tool for sketching. You can actually purchase these products and products like them at ArtCity, Inc.

Just to let you know this was the most rewarding and fun experience that I have had in a very long time. I got some very good tips from Zac Johnson, about blogging.
Affiliate Summit Day #3

Here is a picture taken at the round table discussion about building a blog:

Then Kim Rowley from www.KIMarketing.com had tagged me in one of her facebook photo’s of the Summit.

Teresa Caldwell and Ron Bechdolt

Ron Bechdolt is the Affiliate Manager of 7 Days A Week Marketing, I had only met him online in the forums. He is a great guy and “Super Mentor” to all of us new people in the industry. Kim Rowley is also one of the “Super Mentors”.

This was at the ShareASale event on Sunday evening. It was a good time and I met so many of the people I had only gotten to know virtually. Now I have a face to put to the name.

I got home from Affiliate Summit today and went straight to see my Parents. My Mom was excited because she said a couple came in to camp who video taped them to put them on their website. www.thelonglonghoneymoon.com. 

made this very high quality video of my Parents.  My Parents have never really understood how a blog worked or how it could possibly help a business.  I hope this helps them understand, maybe now they will “Get Me”.

Okay it is only a little over 2 weeks before the Affiliate Summit, and I have been sitting in front of this computer several hours a day and even several hours during the middle of the night hours.  I hope my Ass isn’t getting fatter.  I feel like I need to get some excercise.  I am going to be religious about working out I especially love to do tae bo  Close-out prices you’re going to love… Billy Blanks products at the lowest prices! 

I also need to get a pedicure and my nails done !  I need to get my hair colored, yeah my roots are showing.  Tell me why hair grows so fast at the top, but it doesn’t seem to be getting any longer…..hmmmm could be all the styling tools we use and ratting it, and hairspray….Oh my,

OMG I need to figure out what I am going to wear,   Oh boy I get to go shopping !!!  Maybe even get a massage.  Thank you Affiliate Summit, for giving me a reason to do all these girlie things.  

Is it humid in Boston?  I bet it is, that means my hair will be flat, maybe I need to go buy some of those hair extensions and add ons for an easy up do and maybe I can have many hair styles….

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way, oh what fun it is to get ready for a trade show, I’m on my way !
