Check out the new addition to my LinkedIn profile! Yes, I managed to earn enough writing points (by essentially selling enough posts) to get up to Level 5. Wahoo! I originally hoped to make it there in June, but I've continually surpassed my writing goals these first 3 months. This will come to a... Continue Reading →
I'm pretty sure I did that on Thursday and again today. Today I had 8 things on my To DO list - some fun, some chores, some money making blog work. I did 5 so that's not too bad when you consider I also spent time with the boyfriend. Anyway - my whole money saving... Continue Reading →
The weekend did not go as planned. Mother Nature not only didn't listen to my plea for calm weather, she essentially threw a righteous temper tantrum that effectively canceled the Super Seal Triathlon. No cheering for my friends.

The stats helper monkeys at WordPress.com mulled over how this blog did in 2010, and here's a high level summary of its overall blog health: The Blog-Health-o-Meter™ reads Wow. Crunchy numbers The Louvre Museum has 8.5 million visitors per year. This blog was viewed about 87,000 times in 2010. If it were an exhibit at... Continue Reading →
This question (the one in the title, not the one in the cartoon :-)) was asked of me last week by a friend thinking of jumping into the blogging world. "I blog therefore, I am!" I teased. But really it is more complicated than that. I'm sure many of you who do have a blog... Continue Reading →
