This weekend I finally watched The Social Network. I really enjoyed the movie and I wonder how much of it was fact and how much of it was embellishment on the facts or just plain fiction. Either way I am amazed how someone took the idea of social networking and expanded it to what Facebook… Continue reading Facebook

I love words; I believe they have power. I have a passion for telling stories. Fact or fiction, it doesn’t matter.
On the more technical side of things, I have an undergraduate degree in Technical Communications. This means I am trained to be a technical writer. I have been taught to take long and complicated pieces of information and shorten them up and make them readable/digestible to an audience. I also have a special and distracting knack for editing. Finally, I hold a Masters in Marketing Management. Combining these two degrees, I now work as a B2B martech content writer.
Uh Oh Abercrombie!
Before I begin I will share that I'm a little nervous about this next blog. I have tried to not get political or current event sensitive on this blog. Not because I don't have an opinion on things. Those who know me know that I have MANY opinions and I often share them even when… Continue reading Uh Oh Abercrombie!
Take a Walk
I have been wracking my brain trying to come up with an interesting topic for this week's blog. I made that goal last week and it would be a shame to mess it up a week into it. It's been a rough week for some reason and I feel a bit topic-free. Not a good… Continue reading Take a Walk
One Year
I noticed about a week ago that the 15th of March 2010 was my first post on this blog...or so I thought. I even put a reminder in my phone (a.k.a. my lifeline) to write today. It turns out that I actually started the whole blogging thing on March 2, 2010. The 15th was my first blog on with… Continue reading One Year
The Track
Today, after work, I felt this incredible need to go for a run. It was a frustrating day towards the end. I was tired of the day-to-day frustration that can be my job where I constantly wonder why it is not possible to plan ahead (that's a whole other blog!). I was feeling impatient and… Continue reading The Track
Comment Te-Tu Repose?
To translate the title of this post: How do you rest (relax)? This is a question that my Intermediate French professor asked me today. After some quick contemplation all I could think to respond was: Je ne me repose pas! (I do not relax!) While this may not be 100% accurate (of course I rest… Continue reading Comment Te-Tu Repose?
25 Minutes
Last night I completed my first 25 minute run on the C25K (Couch to 5K) running program without taking a break. I am on Week 7 and from Day 3 on Week 6 the runs have been in 25 minute blocks. In the grand scheme of things I know that 25 minute really is not… Continue reading 25 Minutes
Week 3 Begins
Well it's almost 9am in what should be sunny Las Vegas. At 8:15am I finished Day 1 of Week 3 of C25K. I got up early, got dressed, brushed my teeth and once I was sure it wasn't raining (just really ugly cloudy) I started the day's run. Yes, friends, it hasn't even been two… Continue reading Week 3 Begins
Here I Go Again!
Tonight I started back on my running program. This past summer I had started on the C25K (Couch to 5K) program after being inspired by a friend. I got to Week 6 (in about 9 weeks) but stopped. I had all sorts of excuses. They closed the gym closest to me and I didn't want… Continue reading Here I Go Again!
Guilty Pleasures
Last night I posted on Facebook that I considered Guns & Roses one of my guilty pleasures. A couple of friends commented that Guns & Rose really should not be considered a guilty pleasure. Not fully agreeing with the sentiment I decided to look the phrase up. Wikipedia supplied this definition: Guilty pleasure is something one… Continue reading Guilty Pleasures
