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....

Friday Beauty – Mood Reflection
Not a bad week. But certainly a weird, out of focus week. So there is color, because it's very pretty all around me. Twinkly lights are everywhere. At work. Inside & outside my house. On web pages & avatars - the holidays are in full swing.! But a sinus headache day on Tuesday threw off... Continue Reading →
The worst 30 minutes of the year
Ladies – raise your hands if you knew exactly what I meant just by that title. Now, I promise I’m not going to go into humiliatingly graphic detail here - isn’t it enough that I’m posting pictures of me from the 80s? - but I still have a few items to get off my... Continue Reading →
June Zoom
I think June may be the most conflicted month of the year. I sit here looking at the calendar just stunned that the year is nearly half gone. Yet, when you have school aged kids, or work at a school, June marks the end of a year. Our kids have been counting off the days... Continue Reading →
Hello, I love you, wont you tell me your name?
True confession: I'm 45. That's NOT old - really, stop laughing please. Truer confession: As Robin warned me, my brain has lost all capacity to remember proper nouns. You know, names of people, places, movies, song etc etc. Numbers? No problemo. Proved it last night while in a debate with a friend on the phone... Continue Reading →
My own private landscape: was there ever any doubt?
I set out on my workout hike this weekend with the Private Landscape post in mind. I really gave this a lot of thought and didn't want to seem so obvious in my choice. But here's the thing - I don't have a terribly fertile imagination. Even my dreams rarely go anywhere too detached from... Continue Reading →
Filling spaces
I was catching up with some friends at a dinner a couple of weeks ago and I was asked a question that made me pause for a concrete answer: "So what are you doing with all your free time now that you are not volunteering - other than reading books again?" Well..... It's not that... Continue Reading →
We might need a bigger boat, but not a leaf blower!
In an unusual display of weather in San Diego this week, we've now had 4 days of often intense rain coupled with REALLY intense wind. There were even tornado warnings a couple of days ago along the coast from Long Beach down to the Tijuana border. Every time I have to drive in it, I... Continue Reading →
Are our lives too boring for blogging?
This topic inspired by Robin, who wonders if her life is too boring for blogging. to which I replied: "Honey, all our lives are too boring for blogging!" And yet we plug away at it, and, shockingly, people regularly stop by to read - why, I wonder? Well, as to the reading part, I suspect... Continue Reading →
What a drag it is getting (c)old
Unfortunately, mother's little helper wouldn't help with this problem. Or, maybe it would since I wouldn't care? 🙂 Have any other ladies out their experienced this? Not just getting more and more sensitive to cold, but getting it in one specific area? Making you so cold that you feel like that guy up there all... Continue Reading →
