Dear Residents of Denver (and all surrounding areas): Please be on the lookout for a white female, 81, driving a blue Ford Expedition. She has been spotted driving 20 miles or more below the speed limit since her recent move into Colorado boundaries. She is frequently lost and easily confused. She often has her GPS [...]

When most people think of Oscar Mayer an image of the wienermobile or hot dogs come to mind. You might even start singing the “Oh I Wish I Was” jingle. To be honest a year ago when I went to Madison to meet the folks at OM I didn’t really get what I could do [...]

“If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together.. there is something you must always remember. you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. but the most important thing is, even if we’re apart.. i’ll always be with you.” Winnie the Pooh quote with love from Me Click [...]

Oh wow. Where to start? Two weeks ago I went to Phoenix and helped my mom move here to CO. It was a long, hard week on us all. My family has been in that house close to 70 years and every square inch of it shows it. From the spices from Grandma that were [...]

Dear Farmville, I am angry with you. You knew I was weak with  the boredom of a kid on bed rest and my favorite laptop off getting fixed. Yet you didn’t care. You lured me in with your promise of a pixel perfect life. You offered me shiny apples and adorable little animals. As our [...]

Yeah, I wish that’s where I was. Maybe if our Make A Wish comes through in time for Halloween I will be trick or treating on the beach You all know I have a lot going on and now I have to send my computer in for 2 weeks of work. Yes, we have 7 [...]

I hope you all are having a wonderful summer. Here? Not so much! Between the oldest one taking Honors Bio in summer school and the younger one not being allowed to get out of bed, summer is just kinda sucky. I’m bored, Carts bored, Bob and Con are overloaded. So we have been playing with [...]

Once upon a time I wrote an article on how to host a blog giveaway. But with all the blog changes I have going on I began doing some research on blog giveaways and realized it is just not something I am comfortable with anymore. Lots of blogs are writing about the subject and I [...]

I recently redid most of my media kits after attending the EVO Conference Before and After: Sales & Monetization. I learned a lot from listening to Stephanie Schwab discuss the elements that make a media kit successful so I would like to pass some of that advice on to you. Here is a media kit [...]

Lots of times people approach me and say “I don’t know how you do it” and my answer is always “I don’t know how I don’t”. Having trials and tribulations is a part of life. Recently my friend Lisa suggested a new author to me, Echo Bodine. I am really enjoying her words of wisdom [...]

I have a full conference pass up for sale on Ebay with proceeds going to Make A Wish Foundation. I had a great time at BlogHer ’09 and I am so bummed to miss out this year. But I am really happy to be able to use the ticket to help MAW! I am also [...]

I have been a painfully lazy blogger lately. Life is happening and I just haven’t had time to process it all. I had a rough couple weeks a while ago: letting go, changing directions, remembering what is most important. I think we all need those reality checks now and again. Then I fell down the [...]

Today the latest Twilight movie opens yet it was apparently way better to share the news that my butt is still out of shape. Thanks USA Today! Cause today wasn’t weird enough. I needed my butt to be the cover story.  The least you could have done is linked to me since you found me [...]

Jenny, the Bloggess, has officially saved me from a life of drugs and for that we must all thank her! I was catching up on my feeds and since she is one of my favorites I actually went to look and see what I missed last week from her. Thank god I did. She had [...]

O M G- I just returned from the best blog conference I have ever attended, EVO10 and I have so much to share with you all about PR, brands, relationships and the evolution of this wild, wild west atmosphere we are all currently in. There were so many brilliant speakers and one on one conversations [...]

*Republishing since it is feels timely* I have waited for years for the chance to see Wicked, so H1 (yes, it is running through our house) be damned, I was NOT going to flake out on tickets that we got 6 months ago to go see it! If you have not seen or heard of [...]

Let’s see who was paying attention during last weeks PR Monday when I said that I was posting it every other week during the summer……cause this ain’t no PR post. Happy Belated Fathers Day to all those awesome dads! Hope my father-in-law had a wonderful day. I tried to make sure that Bob did as [...]

*You probably think this post is about you* Oh wait, it is…. I seriously needed that. Thank you, Lori! And thanks to all my awesome friends who read the blog. You never comment but I love you anyway. PS—I would rather talk to you all in person anyway so it is OK you don’t comment. [...]
