Six little words
The statement “less is more” is true, especially when it relates to your memoir. Some of my smart and clever girlfriends were talking about the Six Word Memoir website recently… Read more Six little words →
Oh label where art thou?
I recently wrote about my “secret” life as a messy person. I was surprised at how that post brought folks out of the woodwork. For all of you who whispered… Read more Oh label where art thou? →
She’s so trashy!
I have this ludicrous idea that I have somehow fooled my family into thinking that I am “with it” and organized. My not-too-well hidden secret is that I am a… Read more She’s so trashy! →
Wait a second…where was I?
I loved the psychology research paper that was recently published entitled “Walking through doorways causes forgetting: Situation models and experienced space.” The paper explains why when we got from one room to another we often forget what we were attempting to do. The research is seven pages long and very scholarly in tone and all of us whether we’ve read it or not can chime in with a collective “hello, duh!” I’ve been doing that for years. What I’m now interested in is a research paper that explains why at… Read more Wait a second…where was I? →
Feed Me!
Whenever I run into someone I haven’t seen in some time, the conversation turns to the twin’s. Recently an old friend asked about them and was shocked that they each stand six foot two and weigh in the 185 pound range. I laughed and explained that last night they were hungry. They were Hungry, with a capital “H”. I cooked four pounds of chicken breasts. Originally I asked for six individual chicken parts, but Paige, at Family Market, knowing full well how much food I usually buy, stopped before wrapping it… Read more Feed Me! →
You’re Welcome!
I’m a big baby about going to the doctor. I recently had to bribe myself into going. One particular doctor is in Springfield, so I asked Big Al if we couldn’t stop by a certain restaurant after my appointment. He agreed. It’s one of his favorite stops; mine too both for the food as well as watching the behavior of a specific waitress. Before that last statement settles in and reads as incredibly creepy, let me point out I’m obviously not the only one. She has an entire restaurant of… Read more You’re Welcome! →
Thumb-worthy
“Hey Lori!” I heard a girl yell across the parking lot. I turned to see an old friend coming toward me. We hugged and talked excitedly back and forth. Within minutes she laughed and pointed to my hand. “I see you’re still using the same notebook.” I’m a bit of a gadget geek. I love my iPods and now my computer tablet. I’ve had many versions of PDAs and electronic organizers. Regardless of how organized and synced across various platforms I am, I always write my most important notes for… Read more Thumb-worthy →
The marriage of technical and paper notes
I’m a techno-nerd. There’s no denying it. I love my iPhone. I’m deeply attached to my laptop. My Kindle accompanies me everywhere. I was introduced earlier this year to the Evernote application. Evernote is a program that allows you to save just about anything; pictures, video files, notes, and even voice recordings to electronic notebooks. You can share your notebooks with individuals via emailed links. I quickly signed up for the paid subscription finding that I “maxed” out the free version’s information allotment size within days. Having just described my… Read more The marriage of technical and paper notes →
