Blog: The Pile High Club--how NOT to become a member
 Email Distractions
This cartoon cracked me up!
In case you can't see it very well, it kind of goes like this (I'm sure you can all relate--I certainly did!):
A mouse sits down and the computer and says, "I am here to work on my resume. I will finish my resume.
His computer says, "PING!"
Next frame mouse says: Oh! An email. Could be important.
Next frame: Hey! It's got a YouTube link--gotta watch it.
Next frame: Ha ha--that's great. Hey! They've got more like that.
Next frame: I've never even heard of this show. I'll Wikipedia it.
Next frame: I'll 'Google Image' her.
Next: Ooooo... look at these photos. I'll post 'em on 'Facebook'.
Next: Hey, I got a friend request!
Next: Wait, I don't even know this guy.
Next: I should Google him.
Next: Whoa... he's a freak.
Next: I'll write about him on my blog.
Next: Wonder who's talking about my blog. I should Google myself.
Next: No, no, no... it's resume time. Do the resume.
Next--Computer says: PING!
Next: Ooooh, and email!

Favorite Websites
- The Sartorialist
This site appeases my hunger for all things New York, reminds me of my time there, and gives me great ideas for unconventional looks.
- Toffee To Go
They are located in Tampa, very near me, but they deliver/ship nationally. They have THE BEST toffee EVER. It's buttery, salty, sweet--all my favorite things in one bite.
- The Container Store
I know this is a no-brainer for an organizer...but this place really turns me on!
- The Poetry Foundation
- Because I Said So (blog)
As a mom myself, this mom of 6 (!!!) has me in stitches.
- Michael Buble
If I wasn't happily married, I might be stalking him. Bar none, the best voice and best sense of humor!
Quotes That Move Me

"The truth of the matter is, you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it."
- Ivern Ball
"Most of us ask for advice when we know the answer but we want a different one."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
"The secret of education is respecting the pupil."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen."
- Abigail Van Buren
"The best index to a person's character is how he treats another person who can't do him good, and how he treats people who can't fight back."
- Dorothy Galyean
"Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere."
- Aristotle

Places I've Already Been
- Australia (Sydney)

Spent only one day here (took the Chunnel from London when I was there) but it was one amazing, beautiful day where I walked the flea markets, visited the Louvre, people-watched and used all 6 senses to experience it.
- Trinidad & Tobago
My husband is from here, so we go several times a year to visit family.
- Italy (Milan, Vicenza)
- Jamaica
Things I'd Like To Do Before I Die
- Run a leg with the Olympic torch before the games begin
- See the monarch butterflies migrate to Mexico
- Ride a horse on the beach (in the water)
- See a prize fight (boxing) in Las Vegas
- Run the NYC Marathon
I ran the Disney Marathon in 2000 (pre-kids). Would love to run another post-kids, to prove I can.
- Have washboard abs.
- Eliminate self doubt.
- Own an apartment in Manhattan.
- Watch the ball drop in Times Square on New Year's Eve.
- Take an RV trip down the coast of California.
