Work "looks" fun

Unlike most, I dont dread going to work. In fact, I pretty much love what I do. But still, it is, after all work. I am in a building that was designed in the 70s, and while new desks and carpet and fresh coat of paint go a long way, sometimes I look around the office and its just BLA. So to spice things up I order a few times a year from this great website, See Jane Work. Check it out

Lets all choose to have a great day.



I had to post this. I think I have had mixed feelings about "the secret" ever since I became aware of it. But the more I learn, the more I see it happening all around me. Please feel free to start your day with this video. Upon first watching it seems a bit hokey,.... or too perhaps too spiritual, but regardless of how it seems to you, the message is there. Once you're aware of it, the law of attraction is undeniable.

I want to Live Strong












So I am kicking it into high gear this week. Giving myself the smack down on bad habits and trying to step it up for my workouts. I know come spring I will thank myself. But aside from not fitting into any of my pants yet which is driving me nutty, I have found inspiration in a couple of places. One, my hero Oprah who had Dr. Oz on again this week. Check out his great tips here . And on the workout side of things, I try and participate in the Livestrong Challenge each year but this year it conflicts with a big work event in Colorado called the GORE-TEX Trans Rockies Run which I am going to attend this year. Last year I was 8 months pregnant so couldn't fly out there but this year,... if I start training now, I might even be able to participate for a day.

Lets not talk politics at dinner.....

Or over drinks for that matter. I do subscribe to this social rule. In fact, I learned the hard way that you just shouldn't talk politics in general with friends. I was reading one of my trade pubs this week and came across a great marketing program that Nintendo did in marketing the Wii....they did a press event with mom bloggers. (sadly I was not invited). Anyway, so I checked out the blog of the trendy mom blogger who hosted the Wii event - I was really thrown for a loop at how much she was blogging about her support for a certain presidential candidate. Isnt that a bit risky for a blogger to do- potentially alienating your own fanbase? So rest assured I am not going to tell you who to vote for on this blog, but I am going to seriously encourage you to educate yourself on the platforms on which each of our presidential candidates stand. There are a ton of sites out there that can help. I'm a big fan of
MTV's Choose or Lose. If you MUST talk this unpleasantness at your next social gathering, the least you can do is be informed.
