    Delaware, you are small but mighty?

    Its been a busy few weeks for me. Perhaps you’ve noticed by the infrequent blog posts …. or because you’ve secretly hacked into my webcam and seen the bags under my eyes. I’m really hoping its the first one. But, last week I noticed that I had hit another milestone and since you read my…

  • Excellent Advertising…

    Its no secret that I love Kraft Mac & Cheese. Its also no secret that I love my Tivo. So what happens when there is a Kraft M&C ad on my Tivo? I don’t fast forward through it. Seriously. I saw one of the new ads maybe a week or so ago and thought it…

  • Soothing Voices

    Soothing Voices

    A few years back I was thankfully given a TomTom GPS. The GPS has traveled the country with me as I’ve taken vacations in various locales and nearly always brought me to my destination. Because of the solid relationship that we developed, I of course had to name my faithful companion and for no good…

  • Sightings in the Big Apple

    Sightings in the Big Apple

    A few years ago, I gave up “celebrity gossip” for Lent. It was challenging for sure – but very revealing as to how much time I was actually spending checking in on Britney Spears mental status or Paris Hilton’s latest boyfriend. I’m honestly not sure why I find these things interesting or compelling, but I…

  • Target Audience?

    Target Audience?

    In this day and age where email is nearly my primary way of communicating with loved ones – and businesses …. I expect that the messages that make it to my in-box to be pretty much on the mark with interest level. So… you can see why I find it puzzling that Delta thinks that…

  • Excellent Evening…

    Excellent Evening…

    Here is a recipe for an excellent evening: Fire + Wine + Tivo’d Romantic Comedy There is something incredible about a couch … never mind adding a fire. Dear Couch, I love you with or without a fire. With or without wine. But probably with Tivo. xoxo, hopelessly yours

  • Little Kids are Cute

    I’m a sucker for a parody. Now, obviously the best parody is two fold. What fold you ask? (1) funnier (2) made with children Thankfully, I stumbled upon one that suits those qualifications to a T. So, take a break from your busy week and enjoy this little gem about Project Runway. I’m not sure…

  • Sharing is caring?

    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

    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

    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…
