Like, LOVE to give you stuff

YOU? Like to get stuff!

UPS is actually in the business of making the deliveries of stuff you like to get.

This year UPS has gone even further to make getting your stuff more convenient.

Now, because I’ll probably explain it wrong and promise you a pony or something, I’ll use UPS’s words to get this right.

That’s why UPS is transforming the package delivery experience with a first-of-its kind, customizable delivery service for residential receivers called UPS My Choice.

UPS My Choice helps avoid the disappointment and hassle of missing a home delivery by empowering consumers to take control of their UPS deliveries. This ground-breaking service increases the likelihood of a successful delivery on the first attempt by providing delivery alerts, specific delivery time frames, reroute options, a visibility dashboard and electronic signature release – all by accessing ups.com through a computer or mobile phone.

UPS My Choice provides a new level of convenience for people who lead a busy lifestyle, receive signature-required packages or shipments of high-value or temperature-sensitive nature.  It frees consumers from worrying about when packages will arrive, where they will be left or what to do if they are not home to receive them.

To register for UPS My Choice (basic is free) or for more information, visit HERE!

NOW YOU CAN WIN STUFF IN THE FORM OF A $50 AMERICAN EXPRESS GIFT CARD!

TO ENTER: Enter your answer in the comments. WOULD A SERVICE LIKE MY CHOICE HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR DECISION BETWEEN BLACK FRIDAY, CYBER MONDAY OR HIDING UNDER YOUR BED?

EXTRA ENTRIES: Put this phrase out on Facebook or Twitter and leave the link in the comments. “Use @UPS My Choice to make deliveries more convenient. I would like to win the $50 AMEX GC @AnissaMayhew is giving away http://freeanissa.com/?p=3451″

It was pretty.

We got to see the B-52′s!

We ate a brownie.

With carrots. and spinach. and orange juice. and flaxseed.

THAT.WAS.PHENOMENAL!!

For real.  I bought one.

Yes, the Harvest Moon Festival was a lot of fun and Callaway Gardens was a lovely experience.

But, what made it wonderful?? The fact that we had every expectation of the place to be inaccessible and were WRONG.

Yeah, the beach was off-limits, but I plan to tell them about the wonders of having a few sand beach chairs available.

The music was loud was loud, but because it was outside I could get away from the direct noise and still enjoy the concert…my first since the strokes.

It was a hilly, but for someone that doesn’t get to enjoy being out side much because of the lack of concrete, the walkways and paved paths were a joy.

We go a LOT of places and experience how loosely they use the the words “handicap accessible” when building bathrooms.  The bathrooms at CG were large enough that we could both get in without the BATHROOM DANCE we’ve had to learn.

THANK YOU, Callaway Gardens to opening our eyes this great place we could enjoy as a family.

THANK YOU, for not forgetting how important accessibility is, not just convenience, a must-have
