Nice Day
The new job went nicely. I like the people I work with and it's a fun place to be. It's been a hectic day. I started a new job, had an eye appointment and got new glasses (literally had the new ones in 2 hours). I love, love, love the new glasses. Then I went over the Macy's and got myself a nice...

Oh Yeah, I Used To Really Like That...
I am having a slight case of nerves. I start my new job tomorrow and like any new job, I am a little nervous but I am also very excited. I went to a Writer's Meetup today. I really enjoyed it. One of the things I love about Blogit, is being in the company of others who know that writing is not...

Why Boys Suck--The Rest Of The Story
This is probably the only place, I will share the entire story as I have no desire to embarrass Pam nor do I have any desire to slame Carl in a public way. We all know what happened and hopefully, we have all learned to do better the next time. I would bear witness over the next few years as Pam...

Writing Versus Storytelling
I am not a great writer. Before you all start debating with me let me say this. When it comes to the technical end of writing, I know the rules and when I feel like it, I follow most of them. With that said: I detest editing, when I begin writing the voices in my head take over and the minor details...

Why Boys Suck
The inspiration as I begin writing my book for Pam and all the young women in my life. I hope you enjoy. I will catch up with everyone over the weekend. Several years ago my daughter had a shoe box that held her various treasures. I don’t know that she kept anything of material value in that box,...

Decoding Social Media
I am not a huge fan of social media. As a matter of fact, I simply don't understand it but as a person who is trying to get a business off the ground and the majority of my business comes from word of mouth and the internet, I am forced to use things like Twitter (what is the point of that anyway),...

Doctors, Time Off Work And A Wake Up Call
So it comes down to this: I'm on restrictive duty by the doctor after taking a nasty fall at work. I personally think the doctor is milking a very minor issue so they can make money but I can't go against doctors orders in the even an issue arises down the road. Besides, Starbucks is worried about...

A Writer's Curse
I went to Como lake/zoo/conservatory today in St. Paul. Como is one of my favorite places to go because no matter the weather I can find something to give me joy. In the summer there is also an amusement park of which I am sure I will take advantage of the chance to be a child again from time to...

Possible New Job
I've always known that Starbucks was a far cry from a career move when I started. Over the past months, I have become VERY clear on that. I have no desire to give up every weekend or holidays for the rest of my life. My alarm going off at 3:30 AM in the morning a couple of times of week, doesn't...

Tired And What The Heck...?
I'm completely exhausted today. Even though I didn't start work until 10:45 this morning and it was a short day, I am tired. I didn't sleep well last night and I have been tired all day. I made the decision to take my daily walk today even though I am tired, given it would likely help me sleep...
