Back in the day – and this will date me, girls took home ec in junior high and high school and boys took shop. Now, I am not so old that there were not a few boys in home ec and a few girls, like myself, in shop. Fast forward to my own children and… Continue reading Home Ec – Book Review
I haven’t sat down on a Saturday and read a book from cover to cover in ages. I know that a lot of that has had to do with getting in the “long run” in my training plan for February’s marathon I ran. I also know that some of that has had to do with… Continue reading Surviving Your Serengeti – A Book Review
Have you ever wondered what social media does for those who use it? I know that I have used it to make additional contacts and to find some freelance assignments. I have, on many occasions, wondered about companies and their use of social media. I think almost all corporations can use social media. The problem… Continue reading Social Nation – A Book Review

I, then, came to my blog to attach two pages back to the blog. Both of these pages had been private… Continue reading Advent
First, I want to thank Maria at BOREDMommy for leading this group of women reading Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat, Pray, Love. I had read the book previously but jumped on the band wagon – although I fell off along the ride – to re-read the book before I head to the theatre to see the movie.… Continue reading Eat, Pray, Love – Indonesia

Here’s the background. Maria of BOREDMommy fame is reading and writing about Elizabeth Gilbert’s… Continue reading Eat, Pray, Love – India
Lately, I have been obsessing on numbers – my times on the my runs, pace on my run, the length of my runs, and, unfortunately and very new for me, my age. I have not put it straight in my mind why this sudden obsession with age. I really do not recall having these issues… Continue reading Operation Beautiful – Book Review
Just a quick note or two. I may spoil the book, or possibly the movie, for you in any of these upcoming four posts on Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat, Love, Pray. I am re-reading the book with Maria at BOREDMommy. Those of us who choose to do so will be posting four pieces on the book:… Continue reading Eat, Pray, Love: Italy
Today seems like a day when service, truly good or fantastic customer service, is on my mind. Why? First, I was going through Facebook to find a friend of a friend commenting on the “service” – and in this case, it was lack thereof – her daughter had received at a college. Second, today is… Continue reading Customer Service – and a Book Recommendation
This entry is a combination of a post for Momalom.com’s Five for Ten challenge and a review of Aidan Donnelly Rowley‘s first published novel, Life After Yes. I also need to disclose that I received a copy of this novel from Aidan. I was not required to provide even a review but love the novel… Continue reading YES – Review of Life After Yes
