While I’m gone, I thought it might be fun to introduce you to some of the music you see on my iPod updates. Just an attempt to share my favorites and maybe expand your music library a bit. Or make you glad you didn’t pick up my iPod by accident. Either way. I came across…
Month: October 2010
Guest Post: Life Lessons from Project Runway
By the time you read this, I’ll be in Shannon, on soil that’s been calling me since birth. Hard to explain it, but I’ve never felt quite “complete” before. I’ve always felt there was a home I needed to get back to, even before I realized how Irish I was. Listen to the instincts. I…
On the Search for Leprechauns
What’s on the iPod: Rain by Scott Blasey Today is the last post you’ll get out of me until the end of the month, but stick around. Plenty of folks have helped fill this blog with excellent information and advice. I spent yesterday putting things in order. Let me say I LOVE AT&T Wireless. Setting…
Let’s Be Consistent
What’s on the iPod: Sweet Sophia by Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers Many thanks to my camera company, Fuji, which responded quickly to my call asking for help. I’d sent the camera in for repair and had received mixed messages on when I’d get it back. I explained calmly but with a little “oh dear”…
Of Weekends and Strong Drinks
What’s on the iPod: The Clowns by The Clarks With weekends like the one I just had, I’m glad to be able to come to work and sit for a while. Not only are we preparing for a vacation, but let’s throw a party in there three days after we get home. Oh, and four…
What I’ve Learned the Hard Way

You, Sued
What I’m reading: Rebecca by Daphne du MaurierWhat’s on the iPod: Happiness Is by The Airborne Toxic Event Yesterday was one of those days. I was motivated enough, but couldn’t stay focused on the projects. Thank goodness there were only two small ones. Never thought I’d rejoice in the lack of work. Daughter called with…
Why Marketing is Simple
What I’m reading: The Civil War: A Narrative by Shelby FooteWhat’s on the iPod: Wasted Words by The Allman Brothers Band In case you missed it, I have a post up over at About Freelance Writing. Check it out and join the discussion. Busy day yesterday. Between vacation plans and trying to stockpile work, I…
Rallying Around the Cause
What I’m reading: The Pearl by John SteinbeckWhat’s on the iPod: Just Another Girl by Pete Yorn Maybe someone can explain to me why companies tend to say one thing and do another. My new digital camera went back to the company for repair on September 15th (flash wasn’t working). The website says 10-15 days…
Stress Balls
What I’m reading: Rebecca by Daphne du MaurierWhat’s on the iPod: I Want to be Sedated by The Ramones Today starts the marathon. Time for me to inhale deeply and power through a lot of small projects so I’ll have some money post-vacation. I’ve asked one client to double up on the projects until the…
