Random stuff, in no particular order about no particular subject(s) whatever.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

...oh, and don't be fooled. I often ramble here several times a day. Really, I know I should be doing something else - but don't TELL.

Finally.... The GiveAway

Okay, so I've been MIA. I'm in St. Kitts, in the British West Indies and internet access costs $14.95 for 24 hours. Well, I've been offline for almost 3 days and I broke down tonight. DH is watching 24 and tomorrow AM he's golfing, so I can take my laptop to the pool deck and indulge without ridicule!

Sooo..... about the giveaway.
I have one pair of black ChicBuds with blue swarovski crystals, courtesy of Kandi, from ChicBuds (You can follow her on Twitter... she's ChicBudsJr) Anyway, when I first heard about theses headphones, I thought they were just bling for your ears and Ipods. The first thing you notice are the cool colors and the crystals.

But that's not the best part.


They are RETRACTABLE!

Yes, they extend and retract so you can adjust them, depending on whether you're using them on your computer, Ipod, have them in your pocket, on your arm, whatever.


And NO MORE TANGLED HEADPHONES in your purse! (or where-ever!)
That, to me, is the BEST part.

Really.


But the designs, colors and bling are cool too. Go on over to the ChicBuds website. Look at the designs to match your Ipod, designs for guys and all the colors of crystals.

So, leave me a comment, tell me about your current headphone woes, which design you like best (but remember the giveaway is for the black ones)
My lovely assistant, Emma, will appear on video and choose a winner when I return.

Here I am wearing my ChicBuds on my way to my fabulous lunch with Heather and Andi. Yeah, I know, I never blogged about it. It was fabulous, they were witty and wonderful, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I sure hope they would too.

Retractable buds...Brilliant! I am so getting me some of those.
Have fun in the West Indies.

I fell for these when I saw them at Dillard's over Christmas. My favorite one is the Black/Blueberry which would clash with my bone white iPod but I'll live.

My current headphones: purchased at Kmart over a year ago. An ugly pair of plain black over-the-head earmuff-looking headphones that haven't adjusted right in months (they keep sliding off my head like they were stretched out of shape). They went missing for a week and were discovered tucked into the corner of the dog's bed. When I found them, they were still damp with dog slobber; I imagine she was sucking on them at night like a pacifier. While they've since dried, I'm reluctant to place that foam near my ear again.

Neat! I liked the black and purple ones and I love that they're retractable. My ear buds sit in a tangled heap by my laptop. I have to untangle them anytime someone embeds a video in their blog. It's very aggravating!

Heather said...

Well, after making me green with envy over the chic buds at the Lunch Which Shall Not Be Blogged About, you *know* I want a pair! :D My boring, old, non-retractable white ear buds are forever twisting themselves into Gordian knots in my purse or gym bag. Le sigh.

I absolutely would do lunch again in less than a heart beat!!! I'd blog about it, too! ;)

I hope you are having the most fantabulous time down there in the tropics. We've had sun the past two days, but it is still really, really, reaaaaaalllllly cold. Not that I've been able to experience the outdoors, as I've been inside with a paint roller for days now. Well, I do experience the occasional Arctic blast when we try to crack a window open for ventilation from the paint fumes...........

Please have an adult beverage by the pool for me today, okay? One with a garnish and a teensy umbrella. :D

I like the black ones with the marshmallow best.

Our current headphones came with our ipod. Hubby wears them to work out, our son wears them to use in his leapster, I wear them when I run (err, when I RAN...It's been 6 months since I ran). They are not retractable, and tend to be a tangled mess.

Thanks for hosting this giveaway!

Very cool!
My head phones are always getting tangled up with the weights at the gym! Nevermind unraveling in my purse!

I like the ones pictured with the blue crystals!

And I would totally do lunch sometime!

My current headphone woes are that I dont have any. I had a cheapie pair that I bought at Target. Well hubby decides one day to take them to work because he wants to be able to listen to podcast or something. Now knowing hubby, I knew I should have said no way jose but I was nice. Of course, he takes them and they went missing. I am sure he dropped them somehwere and didn't notice. So I am in the market for a new pair!

I have been seeing these around and love them. They are so cool and hip. I adore the chic buds in the watermelon color because they will totally match my ipod. The fact that they retract is a huge plus and I swear I would never ever let hubby near these ones. LOL

My brat borrows my iPod all the time and thusly my ear buds look like they've been gnawed on by angry beaves and then filled with marmalade.

Kate said...

Sure, I'll play. Since I'm back to doing transcription work from home for a while, it's always good to have backup pairs...

I like the black ones, really all of them - I like the contrast with the blingy bits...
