On social graces
I was talking to Jenny yesterday and we were discussing some social faux pas, such as staring at someone’s computer screen while they are working, or watching someone nursing a baby a little too closely … Truthfully, I think many of these sorts of things happen when people are zoning out, not paying attention. Looking…

Update on my novel (no, I haven’t forgotten about it)
I say I haven’t forgotten about my book that I have written, but I have regrettably put it on the back burner this year – but it’s not to stay there for long! My intent was to go through an edit on screen, and add scenes as needed, and then make a proof copy and…

A rock-star weekend
So, pretty standard weekend for me … (uh, not in the least). I won’t go into all the details since I did so on Twitter in great detail as they were happening (sorry for anyone who did not want to know every second of my nephew’s birth) but my sister had her baby on Friday…

From training bras to hotel porn to 31
Our friendship was sealed at 8 years old when we decided to spell it out on the Lite Brite: “Amy and Melissa: Best Friends Forever.” We lived across the street so that made this arrangement very convenient, but over the years we’ve ended up an entire 15-minute drive from each other and I’ve realized proximity…

So many things to be excited about …
So my nephew is due to arrive in this world on July 23, and I have pretty much put all plans on standby until I get that phone call from my sister that she’s going to deliver her first born. In the meantime, I’m happy he doesn’t seem to be arriving during a major client…

What I’ve been doing (since I’ve not been blogging)
I wondered why I spent the first part of the week sleeping (and not blogging) but when I look back on my weekend I really should not wonder at all. I’m not 21 anymore, after all … Thursday night/Friday morning Chris came to town on Thursday evening and he and Jeff and I went for a late dinner…

I could so do porn right now
So Amy and Jeff both asked me if I was going to blog about my bikini wax and I won’t other than to say Parvin’s Spa on East Boulevard is, hands down, the best place I’ve ever been for waxing and I will probably never go anywhere else. In describing it to Amy, I told…

My favorite iPhone apps
Just so you know I’ve never paid for an application for my iPhone. All the ones I have are free. That’s not to say I wouldn’t pay for one; I just haven’t found the need to yet. So for those of you who just bought an iPhone (Stephanie) and for anyone considering buying one, here’s…

Seeing your byline not always a good thing
Amy suggested we write about the first time we got published, a topic which should have been easy for me but instead I started getting muddled in the details: First time I got what published? – A book? Dictated from me to Mom, who wrote it down on construction paper and tied it together with string, 1983.…

My birthday party video: The next best thing to being there?
I have virtually no experience in video editing, but Susan brought her Flip to my birthday party so of course we had to have fun with it at the bar. And of course I had to spend all day playing with it in Windows Movie Maker. Apologies in advance for bad lighting, bad camera skills…
