Today I head back to work after spending last weekend in New York at the BlogHer 12 conference. Yeah, I know I haven’t posted my recap yet, but it’s coming…eventually. Anyway, here’s a quick post of what I am taking to my coworkers from the conference: Toys from Hasbro for Mr W’s son who is older than my godson. I… Read more →
Yesterday someone called me bougie – you know, the slang word for Bourgeois. This is not the first time I’ve been called bougie and it probably won’t be the last, but I’m sitting here trying to figure out what makes people want to attach that word to me. I’m not wearing the latest fashions, chasing dudes with nice cars, or… Read more →

You know I woke up early this morning to change the layout of the JOBSMonday website, right? Ok, so maybe you didn’t know this, but I am telling you now.

Written on June 5, 2012 “I was dreaming when I wrote this forgive me if it goes astray” – Prince, 1999 Last night I dreamed of performing improv comedy. I’m not sure if this is because I am in NYC or because I still think about taking comedy writing classes. Maybe it is simply because my newly minted blog mom,… Read more →

Recycled themes: Gilmore Girls – remake of characters with a ballet theme Look, I loved Gilmore Girls when it first came out, but… Read more →

A few weeks ago, I posted Bear Creek Country Kitchens. I normally wouldn’t eat cheddar cheese potato soup, but then I thought about it a little more. If I like cheese on my potatoes, how much different can it be as a soup? I decided to search the Bear Creek website for information on their ingredients because I know that… Read more →
What can you expect to find in downtown Atlanta? 1. You can find Le French Quarter Cafe, it’s a tiny place where they serve various sandwiches and a pretty good cupcake (even though the icing looks scary). I asked for a grilled cheese with chicken added. My bread wasn’t really toasted, so it was really a chicken sandwich with melted… Read more →
I still need someone on Atlanta’s urban planning committee to explain the new traffic pattern at Ashford Dunwoody Rd and I-285. Who thought reversing the traffic at a major intersection would be a good idea? Hmm? How long will the police have to sit out there with flash lights so that people avoid head-on collisions? I know this drive-on-the-left-side-of-the-road thing… Read more →
I have always been an artist. I am a violinist I am an out of practice violinist but nonetheless, I’m still a violinist. In grade school I always turned up my nose at art classes and thought of them as useless. Back then I didn’t think of myself as an artist. Art was that class kids took on the back… Read more →
