    Life Update

    I started working nearly 6 weeks ago. I’ve done a bit of traveling since that fateful day …. including a week in the Washington DC area … and now a week in NYC. yep, as you can see from the picture… Times Square. NYC is quite the adjustment from working from home. Beyond the obvious…

    Sharing is caring?

    I don’t pretend to get video games. I can’t even pass the easiest of levels in Mario. My sister and I may be known for getting little brother Jake to come and do our dirty work for us…. and then letting us do a super easy level. In fact, Kerrianne got so frustrated last Christmas…

    Marketing Fail

    My friend Carrie sent me this picture this weekend from Charlottesville. In the event you can’t read the words (like me), she thoughtfully included what Dr. Scholls is hoping you do on this lovely marketing device. Get this… they want you to REMOVE YOUR SHOES … and then step on this platform. Yep, put your…

    Amazon… you are the love of my life

    I’ve always been a huge fan of Amazon. I love the breadth of their product offering. I love the customer service. But perhaps above all, I love being an Amazon Prime member. Amazon Prime has completely changed my buying habits. I hate going to stores even more now – why go when I can see…

    So, yesterday I dedicated a whole post to my little sister’s 23rd birthday. Because she has A LOT of friends on Facebook, I got a lot of hits on my blog. Now, I know the hits are related to her birthday but I’m going to pretend its because I wrote a ridiculously witty and sweet…

    Happy Birthday to my little sister!

    Today is my baby sister’s 23rd birthday. In honor of such a memorable occasion, I am dedicating this post to her. She has many incredible characteristics of which I’ve chosen to highlight a few both through picture, video, and audio. Yes, that’s right. Its a trifecta of incredible memories. AUDIO Let’s start with something that…

    Farmer's Markets…. are my weak spot

    Its Wednesday… and that means its Farmer’s Market day in Scituate. I am a huge sucker for crates of fresh fruits and vegetables. So delicious and inspiring. I anticipate seeing a lot of apples today, which will make me think about apple pie, apple crisp, or just apples with peanut butter. All great options. One…

    Update: Amazon/Heidi Klum v. Lululemon

    Ok, I admit my blog title might be a bit misleading. As far as I know, there is no war being waged between these two parties – although Lululemon fans think there should be. I find it a little surprising that there isn’t much more out there beyond blog entries of people commenting on the…

    VERMONT VERMONT VERMONT

    The day we have all been waiting for has finally come. Someone from Vermont visited my blog. I originally blogged about my interest in Vermont a few times … more specifically three. (Quest for Blog Traffic, 9/13/10) (Really Vermont, 9/9/10) (Goals Update, 8/31/10) WELL. On October 8th, someone from the Montpelier vicinity graced Hopelessly Techie…
