Growing Old Gracefully…?? Hello? I Don’t Think So.

You think you’ll never get old. I mean, seriously, when you’re a teenager 30 seems ancient, but then you hit your mid-20′s and hell, 40 ain’t even so old anymore.  And then you hit your 40′s . And as much as I may want to deny it, lots of people look at us as getting… Continue Reading

I ♥ Hoops?

Well, I wouldn’t go quite that far…yet. But I will admit to watching my first basketball game since high school. It was the Duke •vs• UNC game Saturday night, a bitter rivalry here in North Carolina but that wasn’t the reason I found myself tuning in. It had everything to do with a city boy…. Continue Reading

The Writing Project

I know it looks like I’ve been a horrible slacker in the writing department. Especially after I said I was going to do better. But I have been writing and I’m not going to give you the ‘business’ excuse. You see, I suddenly decided I was going to attempt to write something every day for… Continue Reading

Abandonment, Trashy Novels and Other Life Happenings

I’m pretty sure I’m writing this post to myself.  Why? Because having pretty much abandoned my small but intensely loyal readership here, who could blame them all for leaving me?  Certainly not me.  Let’s just say, running a business isn’t leaving me much time to do think about personal stuff, much less write about it….

This Princess Needs To Get Her Diva Back

I really have every intention of posting here, really I do. But when I’m trying to post on two business blogs of my own, one client blog and assorted guest posts, lessons and tutorials…well, sitting down to write about ‘me’ gets overlooked. As you can surmise from the above paragraph, my little business is doing… Continue Reading

I Never Thought I Would…

Yesterday I did something I never thought I would do.  I deleted a wall post someone left on my Facebook Wall. As someone who has been Internet savvy for a long time (I won’t tell you just how long) and someone who remembers that Facebook was once the stronghold for college students to connect and… Continue Reading

Back to Our Regularly Scheduled Program

First, let me apologize for not keeping up with the blog here.  You’ll understand my absence when I explain that I currently maintain two business blogs of my own,  one for a client and then regularly contribute to two other blogs associated with another client. I think I may be in danger of getting blogged… Continue Reading

A New Decade

On Twitter today there is a hashtag (#) topic called #10YearsAgo.  Twitter users are sharing what they were doing when we passed from 1999 to the year 2000.  In the process of trying to remember what exactly I was doing (planning a New Year’s Eve party for my daughter and her middle-school friends) I happened… Continue Reading

One Year Ago…

A year ago today I arrived in Richmond, VA after making the long, two day trip from Maine in step one of my journey to my new home.  I remember the excitement of having lunch with my wonderful friend Shari and being excited and yes, a little apprehensive about just what I was doing.  After… Continue Reading

More to Love…the Finale

I’ll admit it, this is the first ‘hook-up’ reality show I’ve been caught up in.  Is it because the women were all plus sized like me?  Probably. It was definitely refreshing to see gorgeous women with curves.  There were things I liked about the show and things I didn’t. Let’s start with what irritated me…… Continue Reading
