Have Conference Ticket Need Sponsors

2009-06-27T17:49:22Z

A month from now, the “Windy City” will be air drying after the “Mouse that Roared” is gone. (sorry Chicago) BlogHer ‘09 will have blown through and the interwebs will be all “a-twitter” with tales of who did what to whom, how many cheeseburgers were eaten in a drunken stupor, who wore what, whose sponsors rocked, [...]

Daddy’s Girl

2009-06-16T18:57:09Z

On Valentine’s Day and every day I remember his influence, his spirit and his well, just manner of being. I can remember being tossed into the air, giggling all the way back into his arms, dancing on the tops of what I thought were his enormous feet, at the age of 5. Learning to ride [...]

Happy Birthday Baby!

Memorial Day. I’ll always have a special place in my heart for this day. The day we honor our fallen soldiers, our current service members, purchase a poppy and give thanks to God that we live in freedom. I have another reason to love Memorial Day and though it doesn’t happen every year this way. My [...]

Old School

I’m alive, yes I am! For that, I’m grateful. I haven’t felt much like posting recently and I guess you’ve all noticed my absence. If you haven’t well that’s ok too!. Being offline, persona non gratis has given me a chance to kick it old school. Physically writing in a journal. Putting pen to paper and [...]

B.O. or What’s That Smell On Twitter?

2009-04-19T19:12:55Z

With apologies to The Accidental Mommies. I’m takin it on. In reviewing the last week online I’ve been stopped in my tracks by a few things.

Sucka!

2009-04-13T15:56:20Z

I twittered Saturday about certain A-Listers not having an original thought for promotion in their bones. And its a fact! They do not! In my email today I found a curious tidbit about an e-book I had wanted to read for a while. It was on sale for a ridiculously low price and I bit. Ridiculously low [...]
