Nope, don’t get it
January 30th, 2012 · 2 Comments · Gloriously random, Humor: You're laughing WITH me, right?, Parenting, Stuff you need to know about, video
I thought I was pretty “with it.” After all, I’m a blogger – that’s current. I’m a social media manager – that’s still cutting-edge. I’m on Pinterest and Google+ and LinkedIn and Twitter. I watch YouTube videos. Unfortunately, my kids have led me to understand that I don’t watch ENOUGH YouTube videos. Of course, in [...]

Last night my friend Sherene tagged me in something she’d posted on Facebook. It was language-related, and she figured I’d enjoy it since I’m a word nerd. (She was right. I loved it.) It was a list of funny analogies, supposedly submitted by high school students to their English class. One of those things that [...]

Dear Pinterest, I want to thank you for being you. For being there for me when I need a shot of creativity. Your funny sayings and beautiful gardens amuse and enlighten me. I’ve wasted many an hour browsing furniture arrangements and drooling over desserts. I’m inspired by much of your varied content. But I feel [...]

Review: Heaven is for Real
August 25th, 2011 · 1 Comment · Books, Stuff you need to know about
Hello from sunny Florida! Instead of lounging on the beach, I’m spending this week indoors, dressed in business casual attire. Obviously, this is a work-related trip. I’m enjoying my time here, though, meeting many people that I’ve only interacted with online. And our organization always makes conferences fun, so even though I’m a worker, not [...]

I was gonna say that this has been a busy week, but then I always say that. So I’ll just tell you that it’s been a distracting week. I have to leave it at that for now. Anyway, since I’m already distracted, let me tell you about some stuff that makes me happy. Things I [...]

What do you get…
February 21st, 2011 · 7 Comments · Music, Stuff you need to know about, Things I like, video
…when you cross a Japanese kickboxer, wrestler, mixed martial artist, actor, essayist, calligrapher, choreographer and singer for a band called World Order? This guy. And this really cool video shot in New York. Genki Sudo apparently choreographed this phenomenon too. I have no idea what he’s saying, but I want to watch it over and [...]

What’s the Apps?

I know not everyone has an iPhone. (Why IS that? Catch up with pop culture, already!) But today I thought I’d share some of my favorite iPhone apps. These are apps that I use on a daily basis, often many times in one day. I hope they’re helpful to you… Twitter – Dear Twitter, I [...]

YOU NEED BUY THIS
December 18th, 2010 · 4 Comments · Humor: You're laughing WITH me, right?, Linkiness, Stuff you need to know about, video
So lately I’ve noticed that my blog posts have gotten a little… too… helpful. You know, with the free shipping and happy apps and such. Under those circumstances, I really should not post this video. But I can’t help myself. This is a product you — especially you GUYS — need to know about. But [...]

Appy Holidays!
December 17th, 2010 · No Comments · Linkiness, Stuff you need to know about, Things I like
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Okay, except for the traffic. And the crowds. And the long lines. And the bored/tired/greedy/sleepy/grumpy/hungry kids. Shopping for Christmas WITH the kids? What is WRONG with you? Well, if you’re that desperate, what you need is something to help the kids to pass the time. And if you have [...]
