Thankful Thursday: Scent
Today, I’m thinking about scents and feeling really thankful for my schnoz. Smelly smells can sometimes be a good thing. Plus, you know what they say about sense of smell being one of the most powerful triggers of memory. Here are some of my favorite smells – and feel free to share a comment with […]
Wedding Planning Mantra #1: I Will Not Be a Bridezilla
When we first got engaged, my Mister-to-be and I spent a weekend watching “Bridezillas”. Like most Netflix rabbit holes, “Bridezillas” sucked us in for what probably amounted to several hours. We watched, we cringed, and swore up and down that we wouldn’t let that kind of crazy seep into our own wedding plans. My name […]
Support The Vintage Theater
I don’t consider myself to be an artist. I’m not a painter, my drawing skill tapped out in junior high, and I can’t read music. But, I appreciate art and in my life, the arts – particularly the performing arts – have always held a very special place in my life. In so many ways, […]
Thankful Thursday: Achoo!
I’m hanging out with a box of tissues. I’m going on day three of Sinus Infection Fest 2013. I sound a lot worse than I feel (thank goodness), but, because I need to spend my night resting up, I’m going to keep this week’s Thankful Thursday short and sweet. I’m thankful for: My […]
Thankful Thursday: ‘Merica
Happy Independence Day to all! Normally, for Thankful Thursday, I’d just post about three things I appreciate, but today, I’ll be doing four. The first one, and the most important one, is my country. Although our world is complicated and nothing is perfect, I feel thankful for being an American and I’m looking forward […]
What LinkedIn is Not
In the past two weeks, I’ve experienced some frustration. When I’ve logged into LinkedIn to endorse friends for their talents, update a few things, and generally keep informed of things happening in my industry, I’ve also had to encounter those who weren’t using the network the way they should. This happens on all social networks, […]
Thankful Thursday: Chuckle
Today, I’m thankful for: Tina Fey. There may not be a cooler lady out there right now. She’s besties with Amy Poehler (another favorite funny gal), she has her own Greek frozen yogurt flavor, and her creation of Liz Lemon has enriched life as we know it. Tina, I’d love to meet you. […]
It’s BlogCon Kick Off Party Time!
Summertime is a pretty great season in NEPA. There are festivals pretty much every weekend, county fairs, and of course, nice weather! But one of the things I love about summer is the start of what I like to think of as BlogCon season. Last year, three amazing women and I planned NEPA’s first blogging […]
Thankful Thursday: Simple
Today, I’m thankful for: Blueberries. Cinnamon almonds. Warm smiles.
Sleep and My Codependent Relationship with the Snooze Button
This morning, I didn’t want to get up. It was like most mornings. I’m not a morning person. I never was a morning person. I may never be a morning person. It’s something about myself that I’ve accepted. Brent can hop out of bed the minute his alarm starts dinging, but I can’t. Instead, I […]
