OMG..I almost forgot Iva & Jenny’s birthday party tonight. Better late than never. Just hope there’s no creepy old men out preying on young women. If Cougar is an old woman preying on younger men, what do you call an old man preying on younger women?
On our way to trunk show before bowling…a girl got a shop ;)
Tip of the Day: How your Resume can get you the...
With more jobs being lost than created these days, a résumé really needs to stand out. As an HR Professional, several people ask me how they can improve their résumé and get them that long awaited interview. Use these five tips to boost your résumé’s chance of survival:

Management Tip on Shorter, Better Meetings
Tear up your complicated meeting agenda. Even large meetings with multiple objectives really only have three purposes:
1. To inform,
2. To seek input, and
3. To ask for approval.
Create meeting agendas using this simple three-purpose meeting rule. Start by identifying the things on which you need to bring people up to speed. Ask for input on any items requiring discussion. Then...

Whiskey or Whisky
Did you know that Irish and American whiskey are spelled with an “E” while
Scotch and Canadian whisky are always spelled without?
I bet you most of my bartender and whiskey / whisky lover friends do not know this. (I know because I asked) Check for your self ;)

Random Thoughts
I am wrecking my brain trying to remember this really great Washington Cabernet I had at Urbane restaurant at Olive 8. This wine is to die for and I cannot believe I don’t remember the name. I somewhat remember how the label looks like, but I’m just really bad with names. I called every distributor I know and Urbane itself. The restaurant said they have 2 Sommeliers researching the name right...
Mad Men Review "Wee Small Hours" →
I just finished watching Mad Men Season 3 Episode 9……I don’t like the fact that all these married people are trying to sleep with other people. I thought marriage was still important then….totally ruins my idea of the happy 60’s…I guess they were just better at hiding their indiscretions…What’s the world coming into…I still like the show though ;)

Bouncing Back from a Break Up Quickly 101 ;)
Testing my writing abilities ;)
We’ve all been there, done that. Whether you’ve dated someone for two weeks, or two years, break ups are hard to get over. Being a serial dater myself, and being the first person people call right after the break up (I’m on their speed dial under “Heart just broken, need to bounce back fast”), I know just how difficult it could be. It’s not easy,...
Prettyskin4less.com - Never buy beauty products... →
Smart shopping tips – no need to stop using your beauty products because they are expensive in the store. I have a very specific beauty regimen as a result of my years of trial and error and different Dermatologists’ recommendations (believe me, I’ve tried them all). The best products are either very expensive or difficult to find (doctor’s office or Spa). I get all my products in this...
Arizona's Sports Teams weekend
I should have put money on AZ teams. I guess this weekend has been good for AZ. ASU, U of A and Cardinals…Oh well ;)
Seattle Seahawks vs Arizona Cardinals
I’m very torn today - my 2 favorite team is playing each other - Seahawks and Cardinals…wonder if it’s appropriate for me to wear my Seahawks jersey and Arizona hat and scarf?…Is Arizona Cardinals the only NFL team named under a state instead of a city?….Random thoughts ;)
OMG. I need to get to Newman Marcus & traffic sucks. I hardly moved an inch.
Harvard Business Review Subscription Offer →
This is truly a great deal!!! I paid over $200 for my subscription last year. The wealth of knowledge you’re getting is well worth it. Great insights on corporate America, trends and best practices…a must have if you do not plan to be stupid by 30 or 40 ;)
Today's Agenda

- Check out the new Whole Foods in Queen Anne / Magnolia location (Will try my very best not to spend more than I can eat)
- Confirm hair appointment (Decisions, decisions – shorter, mid or just...
