Heartache

| November 23, 2010 | 5 Comments

Sorry I’m late posting my blog. I started to write last night, and the words weren’t there. Right now I’m packing for a mini-vacation to the ocean at South Padre Island. I’m so excited.

| May 29, 2010 | 2 Comments

Hello from my Manhattan hotel room, where I’m blogging before running off to see “Next To Normal”-a risk in and of itself, but that’s not what this blog is about! Today is my first wedding Anniversary! Some of you that know me know that this is my…ahem…. 4th first Anniversary. There. I said it. For [...]

The Day I Called The Famous Blogger

So, I’m drinking my coffee and reading my email this morning, waiting for my eyes to fully open and my brain to finish booting up, and I come across an email announcing a workshop about getting more traffic to your blog. The workshop is being put on by two recognizable names in the blogging world, [...]
