Better writing, better blogging, better overall?
I’m taking a business writing course at Big University. and enjoying taking a closer look at my writing. This is exciting and educational opportunity, and I’m finding that not only is it good for work, but it also has me looking at my blog writing a little differently too. I maintain a number of blogs [...]
Fit House?
I’ve been a Cooking Light read for years and have been a subscriber for the past year. I enjoy the effort that goes into the magazine and the recipes, though I do question some of the advertisements used. One feature I have always disliked is the Fit House feature the magainze publishes annually. For the Fit [...]
A moment of silence please…

As seen in Seattle
I’ve no clue what this is but its pretty nifty. I was walking down to the library on Sunday and ran across this parked on the street. I can tell it’s from the King County Fire Distract #50. Beyond that? no clue. Any idea what it is?
Spam Spam Spam
One of the things I just don’t understand is comment spam. Each day when I check in on the blogs I have about 20-30 messages of comment spam to delete. Since it never gets posted no one sees it beyond me. While I understand that these are just bots doing the posting, at some point [...]

We had the super cable with a second set top box a DVR, and cable internet service to boot. While high speed internet is a requirement for my household, paying that much for television [...]
Trend Starting? What to expect when you’re divorcing.
It’s funny. Last summer i was invited to two or three weddings and knew two or three other people who were getting married. I found it funny that I was just now catching the cycle where all your friends get married at the same time. See I always thought that happened in your early mid [...]
Picture your past…
Yesterday while working around the house I came upon a bunch of pictures, a lot of them taken while on vacation with my ex-husband, and i’m sort of at a loss. I remember the conversation I had with a Canadian Kitty friend of mine, when she was working on her scrapbook from her marriage. I [...]
Summer Vacation
Did you know that in the average American works 5 weeks more than the average Brit, and 12 weeks more then the average German. Are we really the no vacation nation? It’s been years since I’ve gone on a vacation. It seems like it’s not something most of my friends or family do. I remember [...]
