The Bandwagon: NUMBER THREE!!! Postcards and Vista Print, May 6 and a Boy Band Name

NUMBER THREE!!! Postcards and Vista Print, May 6 and a Boy Band Name

see more crazy cat pics

I'm Number THREE today!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

Of course, I have no idea what that means, but I'll take it!

I got my postcards yesterday from Vista Print and they are gorgeous! And they got here in only a week. BUT...I had my addresses in an AppleWorks file and when the dh updated our OS to Leopard, well, AppleWorks doesn't. My physical address book is sadly out of date, so I only have about 30 postcards addressed.

VistaPrint sent me a "free offer." Man, are they good at getting people to buy. I got business cards and magnets for just shipping of $7. Then they showed me address labels. With my book cover. Only $4 - good deal, right? SO I got all that for less than $11.

I have my newsletter done, but when I save to PDF, I lose my links. Does anyone know how to fix that? I have a LOT of links.

According to Blockbuster.com, PS I LOVE YOU comes out on DVD May 6. 27 Dresses, which was released in theaters AFTER PS I LOVE YOU, comes out the week before in DVD. No FAIR!

Okay, I need a fake boy band name. It's driving me nuts. Any ideas?

MJFredrick said...: Actually, Angst-iety is pretty darn funny, but I want it to be a tad more serious.

I'm using Word's newsletter templates. The dh says he will help today (yeah, he was all over that banner ad last week...) so we'll see.; 8:11 AM

What kind of boy band are they? Would something like Slow Move work? Are they more rock? We have so many bands here named stuff like:
Ionic Suicide or In the Mist or ABCD or Rinse and Repeat OR Rocketfire. They're silly.
YAY on #3!!!; 2:17 PM
Anonymous said...: Mary, Appleworks came installed on my new MacBook. I wonder why it's not working for you?

I saw a blog named trancefixed. Some variation might make an interesting band name.

Congrats again, Liz; 3:08 PM

Boy band names:

Tied for First
Gimme
Raw
Shameless Punks (my favorite)

I googled all those to see if a well-known band by that name already existed. They're clean.; 7:10 PM

(and you had me at Tim Riggins.) Nice picture!; 11:42 PM
MJFredrick said...: Thanks, Stacy! I was using Word, but the dh opened it in Pages (the iLife program that came on his MacBook) and was able to convert. Yay!

Mary Beth, I can open some AppleWorks stuff in iLife, but this one had graphics and addresses, so it wouldn't recognize it.

I see this boy band as being N Sync like, but not as popular.

Liz, I LOVE that idea....

Great names, Esri! Thanks!

Maureen, good to see you! Isn't Tim pretty....???; 9:16 AM

MJFredrick said...: Hmph. I want my DVD!!!; 7:28 AM
