I still have a little work to do on the design and the sidebar, especially adding all the blogs I read to the blog roll!… Continue reading New Home & a Book Giveaway!

My new job involves working with social media, and I’m now using Facebook and Twitter for both personal and work networking. I am really enjoying it – it’s very fun.

I’ve been at my current company… Continue reading Saying Yes and being brave

The "C"s that I love
My Vox neighbor Christa posted a very fun meme and I decided to join in. I commented on her post (she had the letter D) and she gave me my own letter. I have to post ten things I love that start with the letter she gave me, C. Very fun! If you’d like to… Continue reading The "C"s that I love
