So here is the deal and how you can make $1.50 when you purchase the Hammermill paper at Staples this week....

While at BlogHer in NYC earlier this month, I was interviewed by the Jimmy Dean Sun!  Yes the one from the commercial.. you know those really cute commercials where the weather is so much better once they eat a Jimmy Dean breakfast?  I love them.. even before I met the sun himself.  I always found them entertaining!
