Dear Christine
No, this isn’t a new name I came up with to address – it’s the name that TOO MANY DAMN PEOPLE use to address ME! Note to parents: I know you worry about naming your children & how you spell their names because you don’t want them to be teased and such in school – [...]
It is what it is – don’t look here for motivation!
Over the past month the top search term drawing random strangers to this site is “Motivation”. Pardon me for a moment while I react to the idea that I can provide advice on this topic: OK, OK….so um..motivation eh? I supposed folks were experiencing what I call the February doldrums. Still stuck with winter weather. [...]
1 wrong does not make 50 wrongs
Last week an email went out at work admonishing the ladies of the basement about flushing items they shouldn’t. Specifically, it was plastic applicators (apology for the slight TMI there). I knew because I heard the maintenance employee talking about it. I immediately felt defensive because hey – I’m a woman in the basement! But, [...]
Memo to my fellow bloggers – don’t be scammed!
Funny how things work out. I’ve recently been helping out a friend with something that should make us both some extra money. It’s taught me a whole bunch of new stuff about web marketing and search engine optimization and back linking and Google rules etc etc. Stuff I knew NOTHING about just 3 months ago. [...]
This is why I usually listen to sports talk radio
On the random FM morning radio show (yes, same one with the Push Presents topic): Female DJ: “So, Kim Kardashian revealed recently that she suffers from psoriasis. Apparently her mom has it too and her doctors revealed that there is a large hereditary component to it” Male DJ: “Oh wow, that’s so sad! Will she be [...]
Push Presents and our Madison Avenue driven culture of expectation
Listening to a morning radio show on the way to work I heard a completely new term. “Push Present” Now, I know I fall out of the range of your typical female target audience. The things that I watch on TV or the magazines & blogs I read are WAY out of the norm for [...]
Too many “I need to remembers”
It started as soon as I got back home from my run: “I need to remember to water the plants & fill the bird feeder” I didn’t want to do that at that moment since I needed to shower and eat some breakfast because I was famished. So I tucked that into a corner of [...]
Vive le difference!
I’ve had occasion recently to notice the vast range of differences between individuals. Sure, we all know those exist on a large level, but these were examples that to me were more granular and pretty amusing. Some time ago on Facebook I posted this status “Hey, did anyone catch the license plate # of the [...]
This week in learning – everything old is new again?
Another workout picture from the cycle class on Wed night – which they do AFTER we spend an hour of circuit training! I must admit to being mighty impressed that they all keep up! SB is the second head on the left with his new (old) bike. So – what I learned this week. I [...]
Sometimes stereotypes are true. Perhaps often.
It is 2010 (hell, almost 2011!!) and we live in an era when over generalizations and stereotyping are quite politically incorrect and often downright offensive. Lord knows we women sure know how to scream FOUL at blood curdling levels when ANY sort of judgment is passed on our behavior based on gender biases. We SCREAM. [...]
