Free Entertainment: Yearbook Yourself
If you ever wondered what you’d look like with an Afro or the iconic 60′s flip, then make your way to Yearbook Yourself. This site allows you to go back in time and embed a photo of yourself into the hair trends of the past 50 years. It provides for great laughs on some random Saturday when you’re roaming the web for something fun to do. Note: if you can’t laugh at yourself then this site is not for you. These photos gave me a night of free entertainment and LMAO. 1952 1966 1970 1974 1976 Student Life...
Read MoreGen X Back to School Supplies
This week many kids went back to school. For those of us without kids, it only takes a trip through Target or CVS to see that it’s “Back to School” season. You’d think that pencils, paper and crayons would be standard from year to year, but it appears that “Back to School” is another holiday where if you don’t start with the ‘it’ product of the year, you’re banned from having lunch at the cool kids table and doomed to a year of scholarly disarray. So as I pass through the aisles of High School Musical folders, notebooks and Jonas Brothers book bags, I go back in time to think about the school supplies of Gen X. The Trapper Keeper Actually, I never owned one of these, I just found it too big and...

“Toto, we’re not in Kansas anymore.” Dorothy, The Wizard of Oz Amy’s Life: Moving to Connecticut, after 27 years in NC, I was in a strange land of Yankees. “You’ll never find anyone as good for you as I am, to believe in you as much as I do or love you as much!” – Katie Morosky Gardner, The Way We Were Amy’s Life: One of two men I’ve ever loved: I believed in him more than he believed in himself.

Read MoreBarbie Cakes
One of my new guilty pleasures is “Whatever Martha” on the Fine Living Channel. I love the sarcastic attitude of Martha’s daughter, Alexis and her friend, Jennifer. Finally, there’s someone who’s more of a smart-ass than me and she makes me laugh hysterically. If you haven’t seen it, the show pokes fun at Martha Stewart and admits what I’ve known for years, that only Martha Stewart can be Martha Stewart. Anyone else trying to copy the crap that Martha does on her show is not worthy of such perfection and automatically feels inferior. A recent show on Barbie Cakes caught my eye. Note: I never owned a Barbie. I’m confident I’m the only American girl never to have owned a Barbie, but apparently, I never asked for one, so my mom passed on Barbie...
Read MoreWhy I Don’t Care if I Suck
Since I lost my job in January, I’ve made a very conscience effort to write. Not writing for publication, at least not yet, but just to write anything and everything that inspires me. Or just to put all the crazy things that come into my head onto paper. I started my initial writing process in sort of a serendipitous way of just journaling out my day. It amazed me that people were actually reading the random thoughts I was putting out there. And so, I was encouraged me to keep doing it, which evolved into doing some more writing for my new business venture and then to be a volunteer blogger at The Secrets of the Job Hunt. But what I enjoy most is sharing the random things I encounter on any given day. Writing is not always easy for me, and some days I beat...
