Shred Update

shred

I realize it’s been a while since I’ve posted a Shred update, but I’m still going strong!  If going strong means huffing and puffing and panting my way through Level 2.  Rather than do the Shred every day, I’ve been switching it up by going on a 20-25 minute run/walk by myself some mornings and [...]

Fashion Question of the Week

I’m a huge fan of black, and I’ve always wanted a “go to” black dress that I can dress up or down and change up with accessories.  I thought I found one earlier this summer, but after wearing it a few times, it’s not QUITE doing it for me.  This is the story of my [...]

Blog Hop ’09

BlogHop2

Just because you aren’t in Chicago right now partying it up at BlogHer doesn’t mean you have to stay home and wash your hair.  My dear friend Robin over at Pensieve had the fantastic idea to host a party of her own — a cyber party she calls Blog Hop.  The best thing about a [...]

Twitter for Dummies Beginners

Stephanie mentioned in a post on her blog that she needs a Twitter class.  I emailed her to ask what, exactly, she would like to know, and she sent me this list. How in the world do you keep up with the updates? I notice you’re following 500 people, for example. Do REALLY read all [...]

So Is It Really Worth All The Fuss?

whole-food

I know, I know.  It sounds like I’ve lost my marbles.  I had a friend ask me yesterday if I’m still shaving my pits and wearing deodorant, which is an honest question.  I make no guarantees.  No, seriously, my “whole foods initiative” probably sounds more dramatic than it really is.  I’m not even making my [...]

Blog Hop ’09…Be there or be square!

BlogHop

When Robin asked me to “co-host” her Blog Hop ’09 party, I was all over it!  This is the third year in a row I’ve sat on the sidelines while everyone parties it up at BlogHer, so I’m all about throwing our own li’l par-TAY.  As it turns out, I was a pretty worthless co-host.  [...]

What I Learned This Week, the Idiot Edition

what-i-learned-this-week2

So, does anyone remember last year, when it was time for She Speaks, and I freaked out because I scheduled my plane flight to arrive too late for the bloggers reception that was planned?  Well, I’ve managed to top that one.  Evidently I scheduled my ticket to this year’s She Speaks Conference for A DAY [...]

In Which She Swears Off Walmart FOREVER

I will never cease to be amazed at the lack of customer service training in retail stores today.  I suppose that is why extraordinary customer service is so noteworthy.  One would think that a large mega mart geared to families and busy moms would have this down pat.  But?  Notsomuch.  Allow me to indulge in [...]

Operation Cod Liver Oil

After reading the many benefits of cod liver oil, I decided it was time to bite the bullet.  I bought myself the gel caps because there ain’t no way I’m swallowing a teaspoon of straight oil every day.  Or ever.  I’ve been taking them for a few weeks. Then I decided I ought to get [...]
