Funny how things work out. I've recently been helping out a friend with something that should make us both some extra money. It's taught me a whole bunch of new stuff about web marketing and search engine optimization and back linking and Google rules etc etc. Stuff I knew NOTHING about just 3 months ago....

New things you’ve experienced this year
From my Friday Questiontime query posted on Facebook, Google +, Twitter and here: What new thing have you experienced this year for the first time ever? Here are the answers covering the spectrum of life experiences. Earthquake and Hurricane - all in one week! (a few east coast friends provided that answer of course) Getting laid off...

Friday Question Time
I'm asking this all over Social Media today and the answers are fascinating! I'll summarize all of them Monday. So tell me - what new thing have you experienced for the first time ever this year?
Mercury! What did I ever do to you?
Perhaps Mercury is just hurt because I never paid attention to it before? Because in all the fun I had exploring different theories like astrology and numerology and every other "-ology" that existed in the Spirituality section of the bookstore as a teenager, I never stumbled upon the whole Mercury thing. Now I've learned that... Continue Reading →
Advice for east coasters – seriously!
Yes, I know I participated in the fun that we on the west coast poked at you guys yesterday. In my defense, I waited until a few after hours your earthquake and I knew full well that everyone was totally fine. Once that was cleared up, well...some ribbing had to be done! Heck, you guys...

Memo to any cats in the house........who think it is a good idea to bring a mouse toy into my bed at 5:00am on a Saturday morning and begin playing. You know, batting it around, digging into the sheets, flipping it up in the air - generally creating mayhem right next to me? You WILL... Continue Reading →
Summer..vacation? Not hardly!
Most people's summer vacations look like this: Mine look more like this: Boy does my cat have it right! In the last week we have: Set the alarm on both Sat and Sun mornings last weekend for 4:30am so that The Boy could be on the beach at 5:30am with his scuba gear to complete... Continue Reading →
15
The traditional email to the August Moms when our babies celebrate their birthdays: Alex at 15 (complied in bits & spurts during the week) Well, you all know by now why he is called Sports Boy. His life is dominated by competitive sports and playing video games. In all of those endeavors he is... Continue Reading →
I refuse!
I REFUSE to let the good spirits I am in from a great, productive, fun weekend of cleaning & running & socializing & organizing & writing waste away into Monday! (heck the Padres even swept a weekend series!) I REFUSE to let the news that Sports Boy's weekend diving certification courses start at 6am instead of 7am... Continue Reading →
Transitions, part 1
In case you didn't notice from my last post, SportsBoy is looking less like a boy and more like a teen clearly transitioning to a young man: Last summer I hatched a plan to start transitioning his bedroom to match, but somehow got side tracked. So this year when the summer bonus-in-lieu-of-a-raise time... Continue Reading →
