New Year’s Resolutions 2012
I often complain that our society lacks originality, at least from an entertainment perspective. Movies from decades past, like Footloose, have been remade, television shows from the 70s have been modernized for today’s world, like Hawaii Five-O and the epic fail, Charlie’s Angels, and covers of older songs are created every year in the double…
Read Morefavorite books of 2011
I am a writer of chick-lit novels, but I am also an avid reader. In years past, I probably read about a book a month. In 2011, however, I think I averaged closer to a book a week thanks to receiving a Kindle for my birthday in December, 2010. Reading on a Kindle is just…
Read MoreWhat’s the hurry?
It occurred to me lately that I’m always rushing to be somewhere, do something, etc. I am ALWAYS rushing to get to work by 9:30am which is absurd because a) 9:30am is not that early and b) my commute is a 15 minute walk. It’s not that I can’t wake up in the morning; I…

I currently have several windows open on my computer. While working in Outlook, I can easily click to Pandora Radio if the co-workers behind me get chatty and I need to drown out the sounds of their giggling. If I see that I’ve received a new email in my Hotmail account, I can quickly click…
Read Morewhy so sensitive?
I hate the fact that I am so sensitive. One of my friends said that my being sensitive is a nice quality, but that I should be a little more selective about who gets to see that side of me because I’ve been hurt by people who really were not worth my time in the first…
Read MoreRandom facts about ME!
I’m in a very generous mood this evening, so I figured I would share with my readers. I will not be sharing my paycheck, cookies or pieces of my favorite sushi roll, but I will share tidbits about me. I’m sure you’d prefer the paycheck or maybe the sushi but get over it! Here goes nothing:…
Read Morebits and pieces of novel #2
As some of you know, I’ve completed my second novel, working title, Taking Back the Fadeaway. After working on it since 2009, I’m very excited to share it with you, but since I’ve only just begun the submission process, I have no idea when it will be contracted and eventually published. Although I want you to…
Read MoreSeattle observations
I just returned from a four day vacation in Seattle. Since it’s about time for me to post my weekly blog, I figured I’d let you all know what I learned about the “Emerald city” during my four days: 1. Seattle is sometimes referred to as the Emerald City. Not sure why, but will look it up before I…

Fact: I am somewhat of a television junkie. I can make a television reference to almost any real-life situation. For instance, I’m headed out to Seattle soon and told a friend I was going to hunt down McDreamy and McSteamy (from the television series, Grey’s Anatomy). If I sneeze in front of my sister, Marjorie, I’ll fake concern that the sniffles mean I’ll…
Read MoreThat time of the week!
It’s that time of the week! For writing a blog, of course. Thankfully, that other thing only comes once a month 🙂 I’m hiding out in my boss’s office while he’s out to lunch. I’m eating a really good salad from Hale & Hearty. It has tomatoes, broccoli, mushrooms (my friend Abbe just winced. She…
