  • Last night I attended a focus group.  I love focus groups.  You go for a couple hours and chat it up about what you do or don’t like about a product or products and they give you swag and some cash!  Win win!  Last night’s focus group was for a local paper products company called…

  • Even though I’ve never met these people I absolutely love and adore them.  Please, if they are all really jackholes, don’t spoil it for me.  One day I’ll have a big margarita drinking party and all these people will come over for the weekend.  We’ll play tons of games and have the best time and…

  • I haven’t updated this list since June and this summer I did a lot of reading.   I’m including short reviews for each book.  Here we go: Night by Elie Weisel.  EVERYONE should read this book.  Around 100 pages, but the hardest 100 pages to get through.  So worth it though.

  • I don’t feel my age.  Although really, if you think about it, what should 36 really feel like?  I’ve been thinking of the whole age thing since I saw Up in the Air.  Afterward I looked up the movie on IMDB.  That’s when I learned of Vera Farmiga‘s age. I think Vera is absolutely beautiful,…

  • Let me tell you about my latest obsession, Foursquare.  Y’all need to sign up.  It’s so fun.  I’m still a newbie though.  Ok so what is it?  It’s a social networking- city guide- sorta like twitter-thing. It’s perfect for traveling to a new city too.  You can see what the local like, where they like…

  • I’ve read some new books lately and added them to my Books Read in 2009 list bringing my total up to 36 so far for the year.  I read this batch in the mountains the last couple times we’ve been going up & I finished one just last night here at home.  For some reason…

  • She is awesome on Weeds. That’s reason enough to love her. Then I find out about Jumpstart. Jumpstart is a childhood literacy program.  I’m all about reading to your kids & encouraging reading in children.  This event kicks off October 8th on the Today’s show in Rockefellar Center. This year’s ambassadors includes Emmy winner, Mary-Louise…

  • *I tried to embed a video from You Tube here but WordPress wouldn’t take the code. Boo. Click here after you read below. I saw this on Maggie’s blog and knew I had to share it with my peeps.  The video above is for Are you F*cking Kidding Me, (The Facebook Song) by Kate Miller-Heidke. …
