It seems like every blog has some sort of themed periodic post. Hopelessly Techie has never had that but I’ve been thinking about doing something… A few examples: Sometimes Polite dabbled with the idea of “Cat-urday” Rachael Passing Notes does “Awkward & Awesome Thursday” and “Link Love” on Fridays MBA Forever puts out “Fluff Friday”…
I like reliable. I like consistent. No real secrets here. There are many great things about “living” in the Hilton, but one of them is consistency. Every night around 6pm, a lady comes around to each room and turns down the bed. Best part of this? She leaves two little chocolates on the pillow. I…
I can’t decide how I feel about this. Shocker I know. I have some pretty strong feelings about lots of things. Two years ago, there was a fire sale on peanut butter on Amazon. If you know me, you know that I not only love to buy from Amazon but also that I love to…
Normally during a work week, I’m “social” one night a week. The rest of the week I grab takeout and eat it on my giant king-size bed. I’m not complaining, I love eating a bacon cheeseburger in bed. Its sneaky luxury that I would never do in my own bed. This past week was a…
I’ve been on Foursquare since last June just before I went to Ireland. I blogged about the life of a suburban Foursquare user during the summer. At that point I was the mayor of 16 locations that included some of my daily “hotspots” like the gym, the porch, the beach, etc. (Can you see that…
I love an excellent ladies night but even more than that… I love an unexpected one! I ended up staying in NYC this Thursday night and got a spontaneous dinner with one of my friends (and one of her old co-workers). Despite the icky Manhattan weather, we ventured out to Wine:30 in the Murray Hill…
Back in the fall I got an interesting Delta promotion on flights from Detroit to South America (or something like that). Being a lover of data, I wondered where Delta got off thinking I would ever went to Detroit. Didn’t they have customer metrics on me to indicate that I lived in Boston? They should…
Sometimes after a long week all I really want is just to sit on the couch and decompress. I don’t think that is too much to ask for. But last week, there was cause to celebrate! A great family friend took Baby Sister and I out to dinner in town … and by town I…
My baby sister is returning to the workforce today. This is a big day since it means she will learn about some really important things like: 401k health insurance expense reimbursements fiscal quarters taxes Baby girl does have a solid head on her shoulders – so don’t get me wrong. She’s smart for realsies. When…
I would never claim to have a “normal” sense of humor. I am not sure why but I have always enjoyed older sitcoms a little bit more. Stick me in front of an “I Love Lucy” marathon and I’m a happy girl.
