Today’s post is a shout-out for some assistance. My girl Sarah over at Snarkalicious is quite obsessed with NKOTB, which, if you’re unaware, stands for New Kids on the Block. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate her obsession probably about a 76. And that’s being conservative*. Sarah, who saw NKOTB in concert twice last year, just bought a ticket to another performance, and she spent the extra bucks to actually meet ALL of them. Anyway, being the fiscally responsible wife and mom that she is, she was trying to think of a way to raise a little bit of cash to pay for this “5-star ticket”…

We Interrupt This Blog For Two Special Announcements…
Now that it’s 2009 and you’ve turned over a new leaf (or whatever), are you feeling the urge to reach out and help others? I’ve got two opportunities for you right here, and they require very little effort! First, my buddy Mags from Ms. Maggie Moo Talks 2 U has opened an etsy shop to sell some yummy goodies!* Mags is not only a CHEF, which–to me–makes her quite qualified to open up shop like this, but she is also lost her job a couple of weeks ago, and every purchase you make will help her out. In checking out her shop I noticed that there is only a shipping…

Send Some MoJo My Way, Please!
Just a 30-second rant, here. Humor me. I am working on an article that is due in 6 days. I have no doubt I will get it done; I am more than halfway finished. I am just not feeling it, though! The topic of this article is something that is extremely familiar to me and I should be having an easy time of it…but I’m not! I am easily distracted and want to take the dog for a walk, but I really, really, really want to get this monkey off my back. My paycheck is waiting for me and will be sent here as soon as I send in this…

Shameless Plug
Now that the holidays are over, it’s time for me to get back to business on a few things, one of them being writing (yay!), and I’m not just talking about bloggin’! The three magazine articles which I’ve already gotten assignments for are calling me, and (I’m putting it out in the universe not as a resolution but as a commitment) I plan to send off several queries to some new magazines by this Monday. The other piece of “business” I need to get back to is promoting my book, Remembering Ruby: For Families Living Beyond the Loss of a Pet. Many of you knew me from my other blog…

If I Ever Needed For You To De-lurk, Today Would Be The Day…
Obviously I love getting comments on the blog…it’s validation that there are one or two people out there who are reading my stuff! But today…well, today I need assistance! I am beginning to assemble a holiday music playlist for my group cycling class, and the first song that I thought would be nostalgic to spin to is this one: Yowza! Great memories with that gathering of artists, as I’m an ’80’s gal. But–the horror!–although I have it on vinyl, I can’t find this original version anywhere online, meaning I can’t download it! I know there are two more recent versions (one of which I will probably use if I am…
