Hair Product WINNER

July 19, 2011

As it’s been a full week already (it’s Tuesday, people! Tuesday and it feels like it’s taken forever just to get here!) I should post the results from the hair product contest before people eat me alive. That would be bad blogging and I could get kicked out of the club for that! The general [...]

Mean Girls & Queen Bees

July 11, 2011

Next month I’ll be attending the annual BlogHer conference again and I’ll be doing something that I haven’t previously done at the past six I have attended. I’ll be moderating a session. In the past I have been a speaker on several topics. Women of color and marketing, media, culture, self-reflection, parenting, and writing about [...]

Suebob: A Passion for the Ridiculous

July 6, 2011

Suebob is an old friend of mine and if I were to try to count back how long I’ve known her it would mean that I would have to say I was in my 30s at the time and Suebob was in her 40s. Suffice to say that I’m 40 now and Suebob is turning [...]

What I Learned at Coke Wasn’t What I Thought I’d Learn

June 20, 2011

It might just border on impossible when it comes to summing up my trip to Atlanta. First, there was just the whirlwind of it all and traveling quickly to meet some really incredible women, both the writers I met and the female executives at Coca-Cola. There is also the very opinionated base of family and [...]

Coca-Cola Does Me A Solid (Even Though It’s a Liquid)

June 8, 2011

I will be attending a Conversations with Coca-Cola event next week in Atlanta where I will be meeting with their leadership team. Coke will be paying for my travel and lodging and I am being financially compensated for writing this post. As always, they are thoughts true to who I am and if you don’t [...]

New York Stories

August 18, 2010

Much as I’d love to exercise my option of not writing a post-BlogHer wrap up, I can’t help but tell you how I became a raging lunatic within 15 minutes of landing in New York. Don’t worry. It subsided just as quickly. But then I read this on Gawker and I had second thoughts. Then [...]

10 Best Questions: Answered

August 2, 2010

By far, the most difficult part about letting you come up with questions for me to answer is the sheer number of them. Too many great ones will be left off this post since I said I would only choose 10 to go into the contest drawing for a mystery box full of goodies. But [...]

The 10 Best Questions

July 27, 2010

This week I am up to my eyeballs in stuff. Stuff like taking the kids swimming, going to the water park, playing more tennis than I’ve ever played in my life, getting tennis elbow, riding bikes, baking pies, getting in my 2 hours of writing each day, and generally getting ready to return to work. [...]

Awards and Whatnot

July 19, 2010

I love reading other blog posts that describe what the do when they’re on vacation. Skiing, hiking, and ziplining or some such nonsense. Isn’t ziplining a word? I thought that’s what it was called, but since I’m terribly uncultured in the art of vacation it’s just a crapshoot. My version of a vacation is usually [...]
