Monday, August 31st is the last day to vote in Round 1 of the Country/Contemporary Christian vocal competition on TheNetStar.com…and the race is CLOSE! First of all, thanks to all of you who voted – Cheryl Lynn, one of iM’s biggest fans, is currently in 2nd place – trailing by a mere 28 votes!
Second, if you haven’t yet voted in Round 1…go VOTE (it takes less than a minute)! If you’ve already voted, Round 2 of the competition opens on Tuesday, September 1st, and this time, lasts only one week, so ALL votes are needed again tomorrow!

Wow – I haven’t worn blue mascara since 1989…is it coming back?! Beginning Tuesday, September 15th, 2009, YOU can bring it back by bringing the cover of Seventeen magazine’s October 2009 issue (or a copy of the Seventeen.com home page) to your local Ulta store to receive a free full-sized tube of Benefit BADGal Blue Mascara (approximate retail value: $19).
Between 12 and 24 tubes will be given away at each Ulta store, so I definitely recommend stopping by ON the 15th.

Are you ready for some football?! (I typed that in my very best Hank Williams, Jr. voice – hope you enjoyed it!) If you’re one of the 27 million fans out there who already participate in the Fantasy Football phenomenon, then you probably already know about the must-have StatTracker application…which is free this year!
If you’ve not yet joined the leagues of Fantasy Footballers, the real 2009 NFL season begins Sunday, September 13th, so those who join now have a chance at good draft picks. You can create your own league or join an existing league (free of charge), or opt for a few more apps included with the paid membership (teams are $14.95 and leagues are $29.95).
What is Fantasy Football? Uhhh…it’s fantasy…and football…combined. (You’re welcome…next question!)
Why Fantasy Football? For sports fans, it’s a chance to manage a team all the way to the playoffs (fantasy playoffs, that is). Fantasy team owners draft real NFL players for their fantasy teams, and points are earned for their fantasy teams when real NFL players perform well in real NFL games. Fantasy Football points don’t convert to real SuperBowl rings, but you can earn prizes.
What if I don’t like football? I’m sorry – WHAT?? Just kidding! You don’t have to love football to enjoy Fantasy Football. To be somewhat stereotypical of sports and relationships, it can be a great way for couples to spend time together, rooting for their players or even competing against each other while watching the NFL games. If your significant other never misses a game, join a fantasy league and watch the games with him! You’ll definitely have more of an interest in the next fumble recovery!

John Schnatter (aka: Papa John) sold his 1971 Camaro to start the Papa John’s Pizza chain of restaurants in 1983, and after much searching, has now recovered his beloved vehicle. To celebrate the homecoming (garagecoming?), Papa John is giving away a free large one-topping pizza to each Camaro-driving customer on Wednesday, August 26th. (Limit one pizza per Camaro and one visit per Camaro…but if you have a fleet of Camaros, there are no “per person” limits!)
(Heh – so I’m pretty sure our son has a Camaro in his Hot Wheels collection. If I put the Camaro in my Dodge Ram tomorrow and then drive to Papa John’s…technically, I would be driving a Camaro, no? 
)
