Make New Friends, But Keep the Old…
February 26th, 2009 — friends, life lessons
…one is silver and the other is gold.
Or at least that’s what the old childhood song taught us. Thing is, I’m learning that as an adult, it’s not always so easy to keep those old (or those new) friendships going. Sometimes, life just happens. Kids are born. Marriages end. People get transferred. Families get complicated. [...]
What Do You Do About that Maiden Name?
February 24th, 2009 — biz, friends, life lessons
Thanks to Facebook, I’ve recently connected with three old friends from my past. Each friend said that when they Googled my maiden name, nothing came up (mind you, my married name will give you over 10 solid pages of results thanks to press releases and articles I’ve written and people I’ve interviewed). So it got [...]
Valentine’s Day Schmalentine’s Day
February 16th, 2009 — eat & drink, life lessons, love, the hubby
I meant to write this post on Saturday, you know, Valentine’s Day, but um…well, I didn’t. Well, then I mean to write it on Sunday and well, that didn’t happen either. Then I came into the office about two hours ago saying to my husband “I’m going to blog now” and well, found other things [...]
Uh Oh, I Just Spent $100 on New Lipsticks
January 29th, 2009 — gratitude, life, life lessons, shopping
Yes, you read that right…$100 on new lipsticks (plural, more than one).
As you may or may not have heard (if you follow me on Twitter you’ll likely have heard), I just found out last week that my favorite, go to lipstick has been discontinued. I’ve always heard about those ladies that freak out when their [...]
I Picked a New Theme
January 24th, 2009 — life lessons, whatnots
And I’ll be sticking with it. Out of convience, I decided to go with the CopyBlogger theme. It’s streamlined, but still customizable. So down the road I’ll play with it, give it a header and have some fun.
For now, it’ll do nicely. And I bet it’s a helluva lot more stable than what I was [...]
I’d Lose My Head If it Wasn’t Attached
January 22nd, 2009 — life lessons
Man, it’s been a rough couple of weeks. I seem to be losing things left and right. There’s the stuff that seems to be lost in theory, the stuff that just seems to be misplaced and I’m certain will show up shortly, and the stuff that seems to be missing outright.
Let’s start with what is [...]

I have the greatest bunch of friends. More importantly, I have a great bunch of friends that are also solopreneurs and run businesses of their own. This means that if I ever need to bounce business ideas or challenges off someone, I have a great team to do that with.
I’m so [...]
I Fought the Dyson…
December 19th, 2008 — life, life lessons
And I won!!! Oh happy day!
Look how good this baby looks now!
And look at all the crap I pulled out from it. No wonder it wasn’t picking up half the crap I spent the good money for it to pick up!
Life lesson: Just because your vacuum can pick anything up, doesn’t mean it [...]
Get the First Aid Kit Ready, ‘Cuz Mama’s Gonna Cook
November 30th, 2008 — eat & drink, life lessons, the boys
Those are the very words that just came from my husband’s mouth. This would be quite funny, as I’m a pretty decent cook and baker, but sadly, I have the wounds to support this statement. Let me recap for you…
Thanksgiving Day
I broke one of the Reidel wine glasses because I wasn’t thinking, plain and simply. [...]
Talk About a Stupid Mistake
September 30th, 2008 — eat & drink, life lessons
So yesterday I went to the grocery store to pick up some veggies for my caccitori and to pick up some meat for dinners this week. When I got home, I immediately went to town chopping the veggies since the chicken had been in the crockpot for a bit already.
Turns out I totally forgot about [...]
