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
I am a proud mama. My son just received citizen student of the month award at his school. He was the first one in his grade to receive it this year and it was a complete surprise to him. We had received a letter from the school notifying […]

For some strange reason, we have a national day of observance for bosses.Yes, indeed we do and it was observed this past week. One day this past week and I couldn’t tell you which one as I am too lazy to try to figure out which day […]
I’m a light sleeper. A really light sleeper. I use earplugs and the television to mask any other odd sounds . My dreams, as a result, are wild as I embed my environment into my sleepy mind. I would even say I continuously engage in lucid dreaming. Thus, […]
I have been working non-stop for weeks on end. Even years on end. It is partly my fault, as I am a workaholic. In that respect, the weekends are really important to me. I need mini-escapes from my current environment. I love little weekend road trips. I get […]

Then you are asked one of those meant-to-be-uncomfortable questions that you have to navigate carefully when responding. For instance, they may very well ask “why did you leave your job with agency […]
Answer me this. Have you ever asked yourself whether you flushed the cell phone down the toilet. I know I have asked myself that question a number of times and many of those times are totally random. I won’t have been anywhere near the bathroom yet it crosses […]
