It’s almost time to send out Holiday Greetings again.  I have never been big on mailing cards, but I do love receiving them.  Holiday cards however are like blog comments, mostly reciprocal. It used to be so hard, picking out the right cards, signing all including a witty note, addressing and return addressing all the [...]

Blame it on the Shoes

August 13, 2011

I for a long time was a HUGE proponent of Crocs.  When attending my first BlogHer convention other bloggers made a Flick’r site of show porn, I included a picture of the shoes I would be wearing the entire weekend as well – Crocs clogs.  People laughed.  I didn’t care.  They were comfortable beyond belief.  [...]

July 19, 2011

After standing in line to get the new t-shirts we are to wear for the show I am working this weekend, I hear the boss remind everyone that they need to be tucked in at all times. Ugh. I approach her and have the following conversation: Me: If after I wash this and it doesn’t [...]

Attire

May 1, 2011

While working a medical conference this week, the main topic of discussion during down times was the apparel of the attendees. Everyone attending this conference was in the medical profession.  Doctors, Nurses, Pharmacists and such.  Some retired, some still in residence programs, but all at one point in time attended college and obtained a degree [...]
