I’m off today and all of next week, but I’ll leave you this week with something fun to ponder, discuss, or disagree with. I can’t stand: The use of “Google” or “texting” as verbs. People who use “Google” as a verb, as in “I Googled him” sound like they’re choking on walnuts, for one thing….

Thursday Musings and Madness
I think I’ve accomplished more this week than any week in my career. I have tomorrow and all next week off, so I’ve had to herd the cats. So far, I’ve managed a pile of client captions, two interviews for an upcoming article, four more interviews for a newsletter, four more newsletter articles from those…
What’s the Buzz?
That would be my head. If I could’ve made up a great St. Patrick’s Day celebration, it would’ve looked a lot like yesterday. Gorgeous sunshine, warm, and the car didn’t break down (it’s the little things). He came home from work and met me at the bottom of the driveway. I jumped in and off…
Feels Like the First Time
Thanks to a car that decided not to start at the grocery store yesterday, I’ll be a little preoccupied today. But since it’s Friday, let’s have some fun. Random questions: 1. What was your first freelance sale? How much did you earn?2. What one grammar rule do you most often break? Is it intentional on…
Random Thursday Ramblings
We had a bit of a full house over the weekend – all but one kid came home. At one time, all bedrooms were full and there were phones ringing all over the place. The last one left yesterday. When they’re around for a short amount of time, it makes for some disjointed work schedules….
On Shaky Ground
Today’s a vent day. I swear this week New Orleans has nothing on my career when it comes to that sinking feeling. By six pm Monday I was emptying a bottle of Chianti. It wasn’t just work related, though that was a large factor. It was also Tivo related. Damn thing has a broken hard…
Thump, Thump, Thump
That’s the beat hammering out in my sinuses right now. Having had little sleep last night thanks to the sinus infection that’s taken over where the cold left off, I’m exhausted. I went to sleep with high hopes – I’d had a good day, little coughing, much healing. Then I made the mistake of lying…
Transitions and Friday Stuff
I don’t know if it’s the Windows Easy Transfer app or my husband I have to thank for it, but the transfer of all my stuff from the old computer to the new one was so freaking easy it was silly. I have to install programs, which I’m doing in order of priority, but I…
The Best and Not-so Best
Great day yesterday. I love when I can say that. I made good progress on some ongoing projects, and I’m enjoying very much the work. I got a link to one of my articles and was asked to write two more. Also, a collaboration is shaping up and I’m exciting to be moving into new…
Sprinting Through the Week
It’s tough to relax over the weekend when you know your day is going to start early and end late Monday, isn’t it? That’s my day today with three client calls and one project due. I’m exhausted thinking about it. Worse, last week ended with rather rudely. Incompetence threatened to ruin my day. Not my…
