Girl Friends*
Sometimes I feel like I missed the boat. Every time I open my Facebook my homepage is filled with photos of my girlfriends and their girlfriends. Pictures of cottage weekends, fabulous dinners, or even just hanging out together in someone’s kitchen or backyard… and I can’t help feeling immensely jealous. I don’t have that. Don’t get me wrong–I have lots of girlfriends, and they are all amazing people. I love them to death, but I haven’t felt like I was really “in” a group in years. You know, the ones you can call about anything at any time of day, the ones always ready to get together for a good…

Shop Girl Shares Fail Blog & The Search For Happiness*
I just got back from the strangest job interview I’ve ever been to. I arrived a little early (just the right amount of early, not crazy I-really-this-this-job-so-give-it-to-me-NOW early) and was greeted by a girl in the hallway who brought me into a room for my interview. I assumed she was some kind of assistant because she wasn’t the same person I handed my resume to and she looked pretty young… but she escorted me to a room with a mini-table and chairs designed for toddlers (you know, the ones that fit ONE of your bum cheeks at a time) and began the interview (as it turns out, she was a…

Tales of a Runaway Wedding Ring*
Many moons ago, in the days before I became the Wifester, the Hubster asked me to marry him and gave me a big beautiful diamond ring. It was so sparkly and beautiful and pretty that I swore that I would never lose it. Now, in those days, I was a scatterbrained 19-year-old student (with near professional procrastinating skills… ha) who lost everything. I could never find my phone unless it was ringing, and had a notorious record for losing my inexpensive jewelry. The Hubster often not-so jokingly told me he was going to secretly replace my pretty sparkly diamond with a hunk of cubic zirconia so that when I lost…

Ask Me Anything*
Well, I finally did it. It only took me like a month (ducks head in shame) but I finally put up my About the Author page and created my Contact Me one as well (see top right corner). When my Crazy Egg test ended last week I realized that nearly 20 people had clicked on the links, which until tonight went no where (Crazy Egg is AWESOME, people. Get it). So, I finally put something there for your reading pleasure / you scary secret blog-stalkers can know more about me. haha! So, check’er out and lemme know what you think. :) Anyway, all this forced self-reflection / realization that my…

Shop Girl Shares United Breaks Guitars and Joel Plaskett*
(image found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fozclan/3705185242/) Hi lovelies! I’m so sorry for being such a terrible blogger this week–life was busy, busy, busy! As you know I was in B-Town last weekend for Peeah’s baby shower, then I was only home for 3 days before hitting the road again! At 6:30am on Thursday I was on the road heading up to the Great White North (which is actually looking pretty green this time of year, but Great Green North just doesn’t do it for me. haha!). I had a wonderful weekend with the family as we got together to celebrate my Aunt & Uncle’s 50th wedding anniversary. Some of the highlights include:…
