Social Networking Your Way to a New Job
So, this is what I have been doing with the bulk of my free time the last few months (when I am not playing cello!). I was hit by the layoff shoulder tap twice (!) in the last two years. Each time I found a new job reasonably quickly and a big part of that […]
Tie-Dyed Hair? Yes, Please

Carmageddon in Toronto
I spent 45 minutes stuck in 2am traffic last Friday and I was about losing my mind. I can’t imagine what LA drivers will be going through next week when the 405 closes down. I only had to drive in SoCal once and while it was not nearly as daunting as I had heard it […]

It’s a six foot plant with flowers 2 – 3 feet high that can cause blindness(!) Wait- what? According to the article linked here, SWAT is on standby. For a plant. I swear this is not […]
Top Seven Blogs in My Google Reader
Problogger – this is a great site for anyone interested in monetizing their blog or at least taking it more seriously. I’m interested in monetizing like I am in getting thin. It would be great some day, but in the meantime, I’m reading everything I can about it. Get Rich Slowly – A common sense […]
Shark Dog
My dog is old and weird– just two of the things we have in common. She will be 14 in a couple of weeks (July 11). Happy Birthday Keesha! She is deaf, lumpy, mostly blind and very needy. She always has to be in the same room as everyone else, even if that means climbing […]
Question For Graphic Novel Fans
I love all the superhero type movies– XMen, Ironman, Spiderman, Thor, Daredevil– you name it. If I were to start reading graphic novels, where would I begin?
