Not the Person You Think I Am
I once fired someone when she was almost eight months pregnant. It wasn’t that she was awful at her job or that she stole things. No, it was much more simple than that. It was all about money and what a company didn’t want to spend. Years ago, I was the consultant that they more »
Rudolph fun sucker
So I may have mentioned it a time or two on Twitter, but even before Thanksgiving we had watched Rudolph 3,722 times. BEFORE THANKSGIVING. One day on Twitter when I was complaining about it, Kemi (@MomboTV) said “LOL! Really?? Rudolph BEFORE Thanksgiving…hahaha :)” Exactly.

How Stella got her groove back
Stella got her groove back this weekend and it was in the form of a color, cut and highlight. (This hair will look *awesome* with the sock monkey hat and that new sock monkey sweater someone is going to buy me for Christmas.)

I mean, 2.5 years after giving birth to your daughter might be stretching the post-40 “it’s still baby weight” line. But, something needs to change in my lifestyle. I’m exhausted all the time and despite my more »
Happy Anniversary, I suck
Last week, I tongue-in-cheek posted on my personal Wall that I was thankful for Facebook reminding me of my upcoming wedding anniversary. Heh, heh. Funny, right? Except I wasn’t exactly kidding. I mean, I *know* when our anniversary is, and I *knew* it was October already. However, I’ve been buried in a huge writing project. I more »
