Addiction

Alcohol. Drugs. Gambling. Food. Spending. For some, these are addictions. For others, they don’t understand why a person can’t just stop. I don’t know what causes addiction. From what I’ve seen, I think some of it is wired in a person’s DNA. I think it is also a coping mechanism. A coping mechanism that takes [...]

Today, I Discovered Polyvore

I play on Pinterest a lot.  Most of the pins on my Style Board are the creations of other people that were posted to Polyvore. Tonight, I thought I would try to make my own set. Here it is:   A Day at the Office by kittenagogo featuring draped tops Will this be more of [...]

The tweets on the Klout Topic page may not reflect your brand…

We talked before about how Klout launched topic pages. When you go to a topic page, there is a random tweet about the topic that you are visiting. Tonight, I wanted to see if a friend was ranked on Disney before I +K’d her. Here’s what I saw. First, I love Demi Lovato. Second, I [...]

Autocorrect, You Got Me into Trouble with My Husband

However, Klout later stated that they were releasing Topic pages. I knew that +K was going to come into play on the Topic pages. Today, Topic Pages went live. (Some [...]

Remembering 9/11

Every year, I post the same photo. It’s one of the only that I was privileged to take. I don’t want to talk about what I was doing when I found out about the first plane crash. I don’t want to talk about my reactions that day. Other people are doing it. They are saying [...]

7 Links Project – A Blog Meme

I was tagged by my conference bestie, Kay Lynn at Bucksome Boomer. (Are you reading her? You should be. And you should vote for her to win Plutus awards because I did.) I like this meme because it is all about the blog and posts that I’ve liked.  Her posts are fabulous and I hope [...]

Sometimes I Write Songs about Grammar

To the tune of “I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing.” Can someone teach the world to write in perfect grammar, please? No more rogue apostrophes and commas used with love. I want to hurt myself each time you make dumb mistakes. You cause me pain and hurt my brain each time you mess [...]

I have a guest post on Untypically Jia today. Go read it.

This is a story that a few of my friends know. Others have been spared. Now it is here for everyone to delight in. It’s about the time I weighed my boobs. Go visit.
