Hot Blood Sundae Kicks Ass!

The movie I'm starring in (Hot Blood Sundae) is ranked the #5 Bestseller in the Movies & TV > Horror > Independently Distributed category and the #88 Bestseller here: Movies & TV > Horror > Frighteningly Funny. I am so thrilled! Thank you so much for supporting my very first acting debut everyone and please help me spread the word. :)

Hot Blood Sundae Update

Woohoo! I have three movies out right now. They are for sale at Amazon.com, Walmart.com (it's not in the Walmart stores though), Suncoast, FYE, Netflix, Blockbuster, etc. but here's a link where you can buy it online.



There are two different versions of my movie so if you are a true Bobbi fan, you should really get both. I'd love to hear which edit you like better so please send me a comment to let me know.



And don't forget that my other movie is out as well. I have several funny scenes in Ryan & Sean's Not So Excellent Adventure. It has been the number one independent film on iTunes for many weeks so check it out too.

Tweeting Your Way To Your New Dream Job?

Economy got you down? Millions of people are using social media sites to score new jobs. Make sure you don't get left behind in the dust.


TweetMyJobs.com is the new Monster.com of the ever changing social media age. The advantage to signing up to TweetMyJobs.com as opposed to Monster.com is that with Monster.com you can sign up to receive email notifications for jobs on a daily basis, TweetMyJobs.com subscribers receive notification of a posting immediately. In this economy that lapse in time could mean the difference between getting that awesome new job or you having to continue to pick up your checks at the unemployment office.

However, remember that if you do sign up, those potential employers will have access to your tweets. So... if you are tweeting about your daily drunken escapades wallowing in your sorrow about the woes of being unemployed, that might not be the best way to put your best foot forward.


You might want to make a new Twitter or something. Just a thought... ;)

Anyway, happy job hunting ya'll. And make sure you tweet (and follow) me @BobbiBillard and let me know how it's going for you. Much love and luck. I know it's tough out there.

XoXoX,
BB

I Quit Smoking & You Can Too!

I Quit Smoking Cigarettes On July 22nd, 2008! Woohoo! Wish me luck! :)

I wrote that sentence above almost one year ago. And guess what! I am STILL a non-smoker to this day. I cannot believe it! I finally was able to quit for good.


This USED to be ME but...
I Quit Smoking Cigarettes On July 22nd, 2008! Woohoo! Wish me luck! :)

I wrote that sentence almost one year ago & guess what! I am still a non smoker to this day. I can't believe it! I finally was able to quit for good & the desire is gone. Sayonara! Good riddance!

I started smoking when I was 17. I knew better than to start smoking. We were taught in school that it was bad for you. Unfortunately, I tried clove cigarettes thinking I was so cool. I didn't know that cloves had nicotine in them & were just as addictive as cigarettes. I mean, my mom had cloves in her spice rack in the kitchen. I thought it was just a spice. Stupid me didn't realize what I was doing to myself & before long it was too late & I was already hooked on nicotine. I ended up switching over to regular cigarettes since the cloves were always hard to find (especially when I ran out. It was easier to bum a Marlboro over a Djarum) & the rest is history. Most of the time I was a smoker I hated it & was actively trying to quit. I quit for a year once when I was on the tv show WOW Women of Wrestling but went back to it after a few drinks one night celebrating our first wrestling match. I thought I could just smoke one or be the type of smoker that only smoked when she drank. I couldn't have been more wrong!

I tried almost every method to quit smoking: Nicorette Gum, the patch, Wellbutrin, Freedom Laser, hypnosis, & cold turkey. Chantix was the only thing that put me in the mindset that I have now. I must say if you need help with quitting, Chantix (Champix in Europe) really works! Best stuff I ever took to help me quit. I highly recommend it.

I know now that even one cigarette puff would be detrimental to all the work that I have put in so far & I'm not willing to go back to square one again. Not to mention, there are so many benefit to quitting. I was an asthmatic but now I don't have problems with that anymore. Plus, I have a little dog that probably would have gotten cancer from second hand smoke had I continued. This is the single best thing I've ever done for my health, my family, & the people/animal that I love. If you need help with quitting smoking, add me as a friend on Community.Become An EX.com and I will be your quit buddy. Let me know if you need support with your decision to stop quit by posting a comment for me. I will be here for you.
