March 27, 2013

I had to go to the bank to deposit a check. I’m already annoyed because I hate going to the bank. Long lines, annoying music, video screens in my face, tellers trying to sell, sell, sell. You get the picture. All I want to do is get in and get out, no conversation. The teller […]

Are you a Facebook fan?

March 20, 2013

11

I love how my blog ideas come to me through my everyday activities. This post came out of a simple question from my husband, “Do you hit “like” for Facebook Fan pages?” My first response was, “No way, I have no interest in big companies and their products. They only want me to “like” their […]

Sunday is my favorite day of the week. It is a time to step back from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Why I love Sundays: 1. I love spending an hour in church. Seeing the sun come streaming in through the stained glass windows feeds my soul. Hearing the soaring notes of the organ […]

For marketing and branding, a good name is key. The name of a product, service or company should reflect the essence of it. As a marketing person, I should be quite creative right? This is true most of the time, but I’m stuck on thinking of a catchy name for my new fitness and health […]

Okay, so my hip is only marginallly better. But that doesn’t mean I can’t be fit and strong. This was brought home to me during the recent blizzard, Nemo. All told, we got about 30 inches of snow. My dear husband’s snow blower wasn’t powerful enough to plow through this, so guess who was out […]

Technology – love it or hate it?

February 6, 2013

I personally have a love/hate relationship with technology. I love technology because: I’ve met some amazing people, who I wouldn’t have met otherwise. A special shout out to Bindu, Tony and Susan! I can workout where ever I want. Since I’ve been spending a lot of time over at my Mom’s, it’s wonderful that all […]

How many times do we miss opportunities because of preconceived notions? If you’ve been reading my blog, you know I love exercise. A recent experience made me think twice about my assumptions. I learned some valuable lessons. I just love it when exercise teaches me about life. Because of my ongoing hip problems, I am […]

It’s a new year and time to tune up my eating habits. My goal this year is to try one new food each week. When I saw this Kashi(R) frozen meal in the supermarket, it reminded me of sesame chicken from my favorite Chinese restaurant. Okay, so the sesame chicken isn’t the healthiest thing, but […]

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for my blog. Here’s an excerpt: 600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 5,700 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 10 years to get […]
