ME AND MRS. JONES

You know how it is when you get a real Talking Heads moment? When you think How did I get here? This is not my beautiful house. Well, I had one of those moments two weeks ago when I found myself interviewing Lori Jones, mother of Olympic hurdler, Lolo Jones.

Honestly, my education is in political science and music. Before my kids were born I worked in finance, sales and event planning. How did I get to a place where I interview parents of athletes as a part of my job? It was a long and winding path, but I am so glad I took it.

MY PHILOSOPHY ON LAUNDRY

Note: Do you ever spend time on a writing assignment only to realize that you weren’t assigned the laundry post, you were assigned the post about messy bedrooms? No. Just me, huh? Whatever. Here is a post I wrote for BlogHer about how I am a laundry slacker.

INFORMATION OVERLOAD AND BLOGHERDC

When Elisa asked me if I would be part of the team that gave a presentation on information overload I was thrilled and also kind of blown away by the irony.

I got the e-mail two days later because I have too many e-mail addresses to have time to check them all every day. I have THOUSANDS of unread feeds in my reader. I was/am (I am in recovery) completely addicted to twitter.

I have serious internet issues. I can spend hours rearranging my netflix queue. I search for things that I have bookmarked just so that I might win something on blingo or winzy.* I could easily spends days looking at pictures on flickr that are tagged with BlogHer.

WHAT SUCKS: PART 1

You know what sucks? Realizing that your iPod is on repeat instead of shuffle after you get in the shower.

I just listened to “Fire” by The Front two and 3/4 times in a row.

I like the song, but not, you know, compulsively.
