If there is one thing that I am very passionate about these days it’s customer service and my nook. Interestingly enough, this morning I experienced a combination of those two things that left a bad taste in my mouth. Allow me to precede this anecdote with this disclaimer: I tell this story not as a [...]

I know…I abandoned my blog…again The stress of job searching got to me. The financial shakiness is still more than I can handle, but I’m learning as the days go by. I waited and waited to bring good news to this blog. I was hoping I could make two exciting announcements, but for now I [...]

What a week! I have been counting down the minutes until Friday since Monday morning at 7:30am. I’ll admit that having all of these guest bloggers imparting their wisdom on my blog has made me a bit lazy when it comes to the blogosphere. I would love to provide you with a photo-update of the [...]

Dear 2010, I realize that it’s a bit late to be welcoming you into this world. However, I’ve been so busy preparing for you that your first few days just slipped right past me. Yes,  preparing for you. Oh 2010…I know that New Year’s Resolutions are a silly tradition. Real Simple Magazine says that most [...]

Dear 2009, I don’t know if I will always remember you. Truth be told, you were relatively uneventful. (That is, except for the sweet handbags that accompanied you.)

I tore through the closet to find something to wear. To see the Rockettes, whose appearance is rare. And now…a [...]

As 2009 comes to a close, I have list of things I’d like to do before I start another year. Read John Dufresne’s Love Warps the Mind a little Finish my grad school application (which requires bothering a few professors for letters of recommendation again!) Be energized! I’ve been working out lately and I’m feeling [...]

I’ve been wanting a digital SLR for quite some time now. It’s bound to enhance my scrapbooking endeavors as well as my blog. Not to mention, maybe there is a secret photographer inside of me that’s just dying to take some sweet artsy photographs.  Unfortunately, there are times when I get very caught up in [...]

Dear Santa, Honestly, I think I’ve been really good this year. I only took one sick day and I got an A in my class. AND most importantly, I didn’t spend any money I didn’t have. I’m not sure what you can do for me this year. My wish list is void of designer handbags [...]
