Lessons from the Breakfast Buffet
This week, as our honeymoon wound to its sad conclusion, my husband and I had a discussion about what we learned about each other on this trip. He confided, with deep concern, that he had learned I eat breakfast like a dog. "I knew it, but I didn't really know [it]."...
I Need Help. {Yes}
The honeymoon is over my friends, and I mean that literally. Last night, in our last vacation-filled night in Singapore, we passed a restaurant. With my poor eyesight intact, I commented, "PR to-go? That's a funny name for a restaurant." Dry as tonic, @argentinajose...

My Social Media Expert is More #ugly Than Your Social Media Expert
Having a Google Alert for your name is nothing to be ashamed of. Nor is it something you need to lie about any more. (Heck, if Survivor's Jeff Probst can come clean, anyone can.) Similar to the way I recommend in the TWEET model that you use Twitter to search for...
Honeymoon Hell with Hostgator (Shockingly, Hostgator Sucks!)

Learn About My Family from the Twitter for Good Book Trailer
As many of you saw, I posted the video trailer for Twitter for Good earlier this week. Although I did give a few enlightening tidbits in that original post about the fact that I rarely wear makeup, did for the video shoot, and then promptly lost the lip gloss I was...

Social Media Speakers I Love & Learn From
There are a few things in life I am supposed to know, and social media speaking is one of them. When people ask me who my favorite social media speakers are, I have opinions. Strong ones. And, believe it or not, those opinions do not always come with a monogrammed...
CEO Salaries: The CEO of the Boy Scouts Earns Three Times More than the CEO of the Girl Scouts
This week, on a random work tangent, I ended up finding out the salaries of the CEOs of the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts. Now, this was not an intentional exercise in shock, confusion and free-floating ire. And yet it turned into one. Let's look at some numbers. The...
CNN News Alerts Go Snarky (And, I Like It)
CNN news alerts are, hands-down, one of my smartest email subscriptions. In the 2+ years that I have been getting these emailed to me, I have learned a lot. These days, I feel skilled at taking the temperate of the nation, at least as determined by the CNN news alert...
