I love to travel, try new foods (both simple and "exotic"), ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. Im a big pop culture junkie who isnt afraid to say she loves "In Touch" Magazine! A social marketing expert and psychologist by training who works in the public health field trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
All the world is my television and I like to provide commentary on it.
Cheers
Ever since my son was six months old, I have loved taking him on trips. For his first birthday, we went to Atlanta, Georgia. Not super thrilling but I had a business trip and he got to go to the Coca Cola factory there. Oh wait, that was more […]
This past weekend, I spent it in a quaint town of Solvang where we got to eat danish food all weekend. It was my birthday weekend and since I couldn’t really ditch work again, I elected for a weekend getaway trip. The town is a complete tourist […]
When I was a young kid, I maybe skipped school twice. I skipped it once to catch a New York Mets game. And it was so worth it. The thrill of being bad for something so innocuous was cool. Or at least I felt super cool at the […]
I have started making my son’s bed. Am I finally growing up? No. That’s my answer. But let’s rewind and take this from the beginning. I don’t make my bed. I just don’t care how rumpled a bed may be. Here is my thinking and philosophy […]
I have a never-ending love, craving even, of travel. I just got back from a trip and am looking forward to the next. I think of Willie Nelson’s song “On the road again” with great fondness not only because my mother loved it but also because I’m always […]
Ever since I can remember, I have had a rainy birthday. It’s in the midst of spring and supposedly end-of-May flowers will bloom as a result. That’s all well and good but I like the sun and flowers make me sneeze. Admittedly, there have been days where it […]
Growing up I was always reminded that I am a Taurean. I am hot-headed, stubborn, determined, and smart. When my mom was pregnant with me she went to a fortune teller who told her I’d be a girl that would be a smart cookie with throat problems. All […]
My weekend came and went and I don’t know how I feel. I think I have a major decision or two to consider this upcoming week. I think I need a superpower smoothie to get me through this week. It’s the first week of the month and it […]
I have a lot of wanderlust. I’ve been talking about it non-stop for weeks. I was at a local coalition meeting recently where I proudly noted I try to go to at least two countries a year. I wish I could do more but my son’s school schedule alongside […]
I don’t know what it was about this week, but it was a rather long one. Obviously, it had the same number of days as all other weeks. Yet, this felt interminably long. And while I have felt worn down by the week, apparently others have felt even […]
