Social media rant

December 4, 2013

Do you love social media? Or do you hate it? Right now, I’m leaning more towards the hate side. Hate is a strong word, maybe more like annoyed. Blogging is my exception. I love it because I’ve met so many wonderful people from all around the world. I haven’t traveled abroad much, so it’s especially […]

It’s not about the pie

Okay, I’ll admit it, I was going to do a funny blog post about baking pies for Thanksgiving. Whenever I attempt to bake something, there’s plenty of things to laugh about. After attending a wonderful interfaith Thanksgiving service over the weekend, I decided instead to write a post about being thankful. After, all isn’t that […]

I love walking; it’s my favorite form of exercise. You can do it anywhere and with minimal equipment. You can also do it at work and not get too sweaty. I used to love to take a walk in the afternoons, after sitting hunched over my computer all day. It was a great way to […]

So I know you’ve all been sitting at the edge of your seats,  wondering what that picture was that I posted last week.  First though, let me tell you a story. Once upon a time there was computer nerd. He loved computers more than anything. Well, maybe not more than his car or his wife. […]

How many times have you uttered the phrase, “if only . . .” When I was working, I would say, “if only I had more time so that I could exercise more and eat healthier.” Now that I’m caring for my Mom and doing volunteer work, I say, “if only I had more work to […]

Yes I am (cheap) frugal, but I broke down and got a LLBean Visa card. With this card, I get free shipping both ways, plus I earn points for LL Bean stuff. Who needs free airline miles when you can get free LL Bean stuff? Recently LLBean offered 15% off all purchases, plus I had […]

Washing windows – la, la, la

I’m not one for cleaning. Sure, I like things neat, but I’d much rather be kayaking or meditating or doing anything other than cleaning. I even try to trick myself by saying that cleaning burns calories, so it’s good. My dear Mom is a very traditional person. She believes in a thorough Spring and Fall […]

The endless circle of marketing

If you’ve read any of my posts, you know that I love going to conferences and learning new things. I will be going to the Inbound Marketing Summit Boston in a few weeks. As I went through the somewhat onerous registration process, I got to thinking that my rant would make a good blog post. […]

The Internet allows us to do everything faster, which can be a good and a bad thing. I’m honored to be part of Amazon.com’s Vine, which is a program for top reviewers to write about new books and products. I get lots of cool, free stuff and all I have to do is write a […]
