I have 475386572 posts in draft and not a single one of them got published. You can blame her, and her, and her, and him.
Sooo, it’s 22 days until Blissdom and I know some of you are all in a flurry about it. I started a post like this in [...]

Random thoughts.
Awhile ago, I watched Edie’s ghetto video about makeup for those of us who aren’t 25 anymore. I am a convert. I want to hear what tips those of you who “aren’t 25 anymore” are using. I’m feeling my age. My mother says I was never a kid – I [...]

photography Trouble wagon fall leaves outdoor portraits

I often do blog boot camp with my clients, and the first thing I always tell them is: be consistent, publish on a regular basis and don’t start each post with, “I’m sorry it’s been awhile… ” So, if you want to grow your blog, do as I say, not as I [...]

Missed those suckers like crazy this weekend.
I’m sick again and not feeling very interesting and kinda nasaly. You probably shouldn’t get too close to your screen. Apparently I have the immune system of something permeable and osmosis-ish. What’s with that? So, I’m taking you on a tour. So get those [...]

So the FTC wants full-disclosure for blogger/sponsor relationships by December 1. This means that for every advertiser or company that wants to run a give-away or sponsor m3b, I need to issue a disclosure statement. [...]

I drove my car until it died. It’s not a pretty ending. And people can make fun of minivans all they want; I loved mine (may she rest in peace). But, instead of be-boping out of state like savvy little travelers, the boybarians and I barely made it half-away across the [...]

The Boybarians’ Favorite Bread

July 6, 2009

I’ve had at least a dozen loaves fold in on themselves and become dense, yeasty masses…
I’ve had a dozen more bake themselves out of the Breadman – expanding out of the pan, making a big, fluffy dough mess all over the machine.
But, I’ve finally nailed down the perfect loaf. It took nearly 6 months… [...]

As a blog designer, I spent a ton more time on others’ blogs than my own. I always say I would be such a great blogger, if it weren’t like bringing the office home. Even still, I love the blogosphere. Not [...]
