Karen’s Opinion

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hampton Hotels. All opinions are 100% mine.

Whenever we travel, we are always on the lookout for a good place to stay. We have always had great accommodations at any Hampton Inn we’ve stayed at and the great breakfast they offer is right up our alley! Their pool always looks inviting but we have yet to take the time to use it. Like I said, we are on the road and always in a hurry. One of these days, I want to make reservations to stay at the Hampton Inn in Gatlinburg, TN. I know we will get a comfy bed in a clean room when staying there. We will also have some time to relax around the pool. I can dream can’t I?

Maybe my dream can come true! Right now, during the Hampton Chain of Friends Sweepstakes, I might win a free stay. Yes, during this giveaway, participants have a chance to win a free weekend stay for themselves and 100 of their friends at any Hampton Inn. Wouldn’t that be a blast? I would invite all my quilting lady friends to stay during the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg quilt festival that takes place every year. With the offering of 100 friends on the table, they could even bring their husbands! I can imagine sharing all our fabric purchases as we lounge around the pool.

Who would you invite if you won this fabulous sweepstakes? Where would you go? Be sure to enter so you have a chance to win!

Why am I under my desk? Because, when the storm was nearing, I unplugged everything before lighting could zap my computer. After the storm, I needed my computer in order to see what the time was. Now, that is ridiculous! I seriously need a watch.

My husband is not addicted to the computer at all and so he still relies on his watch. He has a cheap watch that he wears while working and keeps his special watches to wear to church. Watches are to guys like shoes are to us girls.

My husband loves to talk about unique timepieces. Being an avid collector of Swiss Army Knives, he was introduced to the quality watches of Swiss Army many years ago. He is an admirer of the Victorinox Swiss Army timepieces and has been leaving hints as to why one would make a fabulous father’s day gift. You can visit Swissarmy.com to view their collection of timepieces and choose one for that special guy in your life.

While visiting the Swiss Army Website, visit the Facebook IWAW sweepstakes page and check out the “I Wear a Watch sweepstakes”. Over 30 days they’re giving 30 lucky winners a Victorinox Swiss Army timepiece!

When I looked outside today, I saw two of the biggest blackbirds I think I have ever seen. I don’t know what they were up to but they looked ominous. What is it about blackbirds that makes one wary? Is it all the movies depicting them as creatures of evil? I think it is time to do some research.

I have been reluctant to do much searching these days because I am using a different computer. With my slow connection it takes forever to get from page to page. I wish Charter Internet service was available in my area. I have read on many blogs how satisfied bloggers are with their ability to zip around from site to site because they use Charter. Charter offers excellent service at incredible prices.

Charter is always offering exciting online deals and a chance to win cool prizes. Last year they offered a fantastic sweepstakes whereby you could win gift cards from major retailers in electronics, clothing, home, accessories, and restaurants. I can guarantee that I would become a fan of Charter on Facebook so I would know of all their fantastic offerings the minute they began. If you aren’t addicted to Facebook like me, you can get your updates by checking Charter’s Daily Deal Web Site. You are so lucky if you are in an area where Charter is available as your cable, Internet and phone service provider. They have given away a new 2010 Chevy Camaro 2SS! Wowzers!

This is just one example of their fantastic giveaways that make Charter the exciting provider to be with.

What are you waiting for? Get with Charter.

I told you that I got fed up after seeing my cable bill go up month after month. It was ridiculous the way they kept adding a few dollars each month. They acted as if I wouldn’t notice. Hrmmph! They don’t know this penny pinching gal.

I wish we had Charter Communications in our area. Have you heard of them? I am sure you will be hearing more about them because they offer their services in a way that allows you to save money. You can pick and choose what best fits your needs.

In an effort to let more people know about Charter, they are offering a contest that is open to new and upgrading customers. See, they take care of the customers they already have by offering the specials and contests to them too.

They are always thinking up new and exciting promotions to get the word out about their company. Last year they offered great games like Xbox 360 and even gave away a 2009 Honda Civic Hybrid! Man oh man! I wish I was in their service area! During the month of April, Charter is giving new and old subscribers an opportunity to win a grand prize package that includes a 52” LCD flat screen HDTV, a Home Theater System, and one year of free Charter Digital Cable® service with HD programming.

Charter is one of those companies who is always looking for new ways to be better for their customers. They even use Twitter so their customers can reach them and get great customer service. Charter is the best for your cable, high speed or telephone needs. Enter the sweepstakes and you might be one of the daily winners!
