I still have the bad cold. Last night I had horrible, horrible dreams all night that I’d rather not think about, like, ever again. I would love to say that I’m making today this magical day for my sweet girl who will officially be three at 12:49 p.m., but it’s more likely that I’ll spend the day under a blanket on the couch. However, I did get an email this morning from M80, a social media company in Los Angeles that I’ve worked with many times, asking if I’d like to check out this really fun new widget called The Aleve Good News Choir. I guess the idea is you take Aleve when you don’t feel good, then you feel so much better that you feel like singing! So you go to the site and type in a 50 character message, and The Aleve Good News Choir sings your message for you:

I have to admit, that’s cute. You can make one of your own by going to http://www.aleve.com/choir. Also, pamper yourself this holiday season by entering for a chance to win a $250 Spa Finders Gift Certificate plus a gift card bundle including $100 from iTunes, $100 from Macy’s and $50 from Bed, Bath and Beyond! Visit blogher.com/good-news-sweepstakes-aleve to sign up.

And stay tuned for an upcoming birthday tribute to my special girl, who has lots of presents waiting for her to open and a big scoop of of strawberry ice cream to eat. Just as soon as her Mom can muster the energy. Oh, and remember, my Holiday Gift Guide posts will be running from now until December 19th, so watch for those too!
