Wearing Slippers and Drinking Wine from NYC to Wisconsin
“Out of Left Field”: an idiom I use far too often and say wrong mostly. I always use it when I want to say something is out of no where, or misguided, but it generally means to be out of touch with the action…but because I don’t know the etymology, I always say right field instead. […]
MoreWe all know Cinco de Mayo is tomorrow. Or do you? Do you think it’s just a random day the US chooses to translate to spanish (Fifth of May,) and amplify your tequila drinking and partying similar to St. Patty’s Day? Negative, it’s a celebration of Mexican triumph over the French! “Cinco de Mayo is […]

Therefore, I’ve never bought a pair; not even from the wide variety of fake ones on every street corner of NYC. But then this AM, thanks to PR office swag, someone left client […]
MoreTonight, as I boil 2+ lbs of chicken breast for the week, I digress… move her into a trash bag, and remember my little money tree that could. An obituary from the heart. I got this little plant in 2009 from my best friends parents’ wedding. Felt the need to keep it, nurture it, and hope it […]
MoreNew job, new “home”; the oh-so-cherished shoe box cubicle. The entry-level/associate (even junior) employee’s humble abode. The corner desk that expresses your personality, your work ethic, your interior design skills, and more. The original Pinterest… the blank canvas for the new professionals coming into the work force. Some find it restricting and feel “stuck in a corner” […]
MoreWordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report of Suazmo: Here’s an excerpt: The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people.
