Happy Election Day! (Finally!) Lord knows this election cycle has gone on forever and everyone I know seems to have very strong opinions about what we should do as a country, while not necessarily knowing who to vote for in order to make those things happen. Despite feeling exhausted by the constant political smog, I am […]

Pumpkin Fever
It is rare for me to get caught up in the Halloween spirit. I don’t hate the holiday by any means, but I’m not a big fan of all that comes along with it. But this year, I seem to have come down with a case of Pumpkin Fever. You might even call it Great […]
Confessions of a Beauty Flunkie
I consider myself to be a smart woman. I know a lot about a variety of things and my brain has stored more than its fair share of random trivia, too. However, there is one area of life where I am completely lacking. Let’s call it Beauty Intelligence. What do I know about the latest […]
What’s Your Motto?
Charlie Peacock, one of the artists performing at the Art*Music*Justice concert tossed a quick motto over his shoulder as he walked to his piano: Live to love, and love to live. For some reason, this phrase has really stuck with me. I’ve always been the sort that likes to have a personal motto. My motto […]
The Question Everyone’s Asking
Who are you voting for? I can’t seem to escape this question. It’s not that I don’t want to say, it’s honestly that I haven’t decided. Based on what I hear from those around me, I’m not the only one stuck in the mud. I suppose we shouldn’t be too surprised at the amount of […]
And the Winner Is…
I’ve said many times before that Friday Breakfast Club at my office is a competitive sport. If presentation counts for anything (and it does), we have an undisputed winner: print master and graphics guru, Carlos!!! I’ve always been proud of my produce placards and bistro jars of juice. But fruit kabobs in themed containers really […]
Danger Will Robinson!!!
Someone brought crack cocaine to the office today. Or they might as well have, because powdered mini-donuts are a trigger food for me. We all have trigger foods. Heck, marketers want us to have trigger foods: “Betcha can’t eat just one.” “Once you pop, you can’t stop.” Argh! The best solution for me is pure […]
If This is True, I’ll Never Get Anything Done
Horror upon horrors…NPR has continued it series on multi-tasking. I’ve learned that: We technically don’t multi-task, we quickly switch mental gears and Multi-tasking in the car is as dangerous as drunk driving! But the worst news of all is that multi-tasking is muddling my brain. According to researchers at the University of Michigan, when we […]
Going Dark
It feels like forever since I’ve been on the blogosphere! I knew last week was going to be tough and I wasn’t disappointed. The late night (Tuesday) with barfing Bridget was only the first of many late nights last week. Wednesday night featured a charity auction and work-until-you-drop afterwards to meet a deadline. By Thursday […]
Why Does this Happen?
I’ve just looked at next week’s schedule. I’m quite sure that I need to put a warning label on my Daytimer for weeks like what we are about to face: Take a deep breath and buckle up. I have a meeting on Monday. I have two meetings and an evening event on Tuesday. I have […]
