In today’s downtrodden economy, it’s more important than ever for stores to sell, sell, sell. I try to do my part to help out. I shop when I can. But I feel the need to do more. So, I want to offer some advice to all the clothing stores out there. Something for you all [...]

Oh, so much to say, so little time. First of all, the contest winner. After throwing participants’ names into a Starbucks mug–coffee keeps me balanced–I’m happy to announce the winner is…Marissa! I’ll send along your prize just as soon as I get it from Nilsa. Um, cause I left it in her car…long story.
In other [...]
The World’s a Roller Coaster, and I’m Not Strapped In

About 12 years ago, I stopped eating red meat. If it bleeds when you cook it or resembles blood in anyway, I don’t want to eat it (which is also why I don’t like to eat beets–they look like blood and taste terrible, gag). For a while I stopped eating poultry. And so, when it [...]

I haven’t been the best blogger of late. Because things? Are going great.
Personally, professionally, things are awesome.
So awesome, that I’ve been busy. And this one time, I don’t want to write about it. I just want to experience it.
So excuse my silence. But know all is well. Really, really well.
So Let’s Make a New Start, and That’s the Way To My Heart

I’ve never been huge on New Year’s. When you get down to it, the clock turning from 11:59 to midnight on December 31, is really no different than when that happens on, say April 5. Years are real, but time is constant. The numbering is something we made up arbitrarily (or not if you’re a [...]

Hello all. I thought a few pictures might be good as we all shift into 2009, away from the holidays, and onto…what exactly? I guess Martin Luther King Day…I get the day off work, and why not honor the man? Oh, and of course there will be an historic inauguration in a few weeks. One [...]

Enjoy.

But I Can’t Talk To You the Way I’ve Wanted To

So, I hadn’t meant for my little vacation to be a blog-cation. The holidays are just so busy, no? Add to that the little odds and ends to wrap up. This is going to turn into a miscellany of items. But hopefully, you’ll enjoy them nonetheless.
First, here’s me in my ugly Christmas sweater. Witness its [...]
