Ipad Queen

LATE POST WARNING: I WON THIS  MARCH 27, 2012

During SXSW2012  I pretty much signed up for everything because:

1. I like to party 2.) I like to win... in that order.

I was at work working on something random when I received an email from Gavin & the Barupay Team. I have always thought that the winning wasn't real, that it was for "other people." Well I became the other people! the lucky people, and it feels GREAT to be on the winning side. 

"Hi Edria,

Thanks again for your interest in BaruPay and we hope you enjoyed the SXSW events and parties.

Well, we're pleased to inform you that you are the winner of the iPad-II.  Yay!  :-)"






I received my IPAD II on March 31, 2012. I took one of my closest friends Pete. It was a fun day! I WON I WON I WON... To be honest with you at first I didn't think I deserved something so nice.






I looked so happy didn't I.

Well two months after I received my Ipad I was getting out of my car when something startled me. There was a guy sleeping in his car. I FREAKED OUT and dropped my bag. My ipad was in it. Why was he sleeping in his car?  I'm always curious as to that.

I have been really disappointed in myself that I dropped it but what can you do? It is still functional.

Unfortunantly I didn't have Apple + Care because I didn't know about that.
So here I am with a beautiful item which is somewhat damaged.

I'm just grateful for the win. I'm a techy so I LOVE LOVE LOVE new items and learning how they function. Here I was worried so much about getting stolen but it got damaged instead that should have been my true worry. It has a function on it from icloud that tells me where it is at all times.


So still grateful but hoping I can get it fixed soon.

Freelancer.com 2012 SXSW Tradeshow Giveaway

This is a late post: What a week I had at SXSW! Best Birthday of my 33 years.  I decided not just to celebrate a week or month but the whole year! Clearly I am celebrating by myself for the most part. I won the TV below. by creating an account on Freelancer.com.. Matt Barrie flipped the coin between myself and another guy and I WON I WON I WON.. I practically yelled outloud. This is one of many wins this year. I am addicted to the win and not the actual item that I win, does that make sense? I LOVE TO WIN! The month of March was a win-win month for me... on March 15,2010  Frelancer.com was having a giveaway for tv's so I retweeted and went to their booth during the trade show.   ..... .......SXSW is now my official BIRTHDAY HOLIDAY for the rest of my years... lol. The CEO Matt Barrie of Freelancer.com turned out to be handsome by the way so I took a picture with him. He's a great business man from what I've head.   Freelancer.com is great for entreprene...

Keurig KCup Craigslist Catastrophe turns into love

Let me first say I have been wanting a Keurig since they came out. I don't drink a lot of coffee but I do love tea and hot chocolate. I was so fascinated by a demonstration that I was given at a Macy's during Christmas. Anywho I went on Craigslist to find one since I am frugal and don't like paying full price for anything. It retails at $149 at Walmart http://www.walmart.com/ip/Keurig-B60-Special-Edition-Brewer-and-Choice-of-K-Cups-Beverage-Bundle/20693072. Let me tell you I had my first bad experience on Craigslist. I saw an ad for a brand new Keurig for $50. Only paying 33% with no taxes seemed like a great win a savings of 67%. I met the lady and for some reason I should have known something was wrong. As soon as I opened the item upon getting it home it looked brand new. I should have known better when trying to plug it in I saw the cord was severely scorched to the core and the item didn't work. I was so mad. I won't go into detail but I did file a poli...
