Branching Out

October 1st, 2008 Brunette

I am taking a few steps in a direction that I have always wanted - now I am doing it. I am working on starting an online marketing / PR site, offering many online services like blog exposure, brand awareness, and a presence in social networking communities. It has been a long time dream, now I am working towards making it happen.

A great help in getting me off the ground - guerrillaRed.com. Chris at guerrillaRed is taking me under his wing and helping me get started. Sort of showing me the ropes and getting me ready for clients. I am already in the works consulting with Chris on a current client, Chatterboxgames.com, so I am hitting the ground running, so to speak.

I will be unveiling my site and new PR name hopefully by the end of the week. I think the name suits me and what I will be handling for my clients. You will like it. I will post again letting you know when I unveil it!

Time To Post Again

August 27th, 2008 Brunette

Yes, it has been quiet around here simply because I had to take some time off. Not my choice - more like my day job made the choice for me. After the big week I had at two of my other blogs in the beginning of August my day job kicked into gear and took off. Unfortunately, I couldn’t wave bye to it as it flew away, I had to go along for the ride.

Here I am a few weeks later, a few pounds lighter, and definitely not sporting the hangover that I should be for the past few weeks! If you have no clue what I do, it’s not glamorous like I would like it to be, but I am basically a gopher for the account I work on. I once worked for the W*itch, but now I am just her bitch.

The grass is much greener on the other side. Better hours… um, not that one lately. It is nicer working outside the brick walls, I actually have a family life. Damn, haven’t had that this week either. OK, scratch it all. It is nicer, just not this month. Check back when a new season is not under way. Well, WTF, that is all the time too!

Today, tomorrow, and maybe even Friday, I won’t have to worry about. Since I have been working non-stop for two weeks, including my night and weekends, I am taking some much needed time off from textiles and the W*itch and won’t be back to work next Tuesday. In the famous words of London Tipton, “Yeah Me!”

Well, according to Women’s Health, peppermint schnapps and adventure are the two things you need to make your sex life a fun romp in bed again - and in other places around town!

Mad Dayz

July 10th, 2008 Brunette

There were three posts I could do today for you - a cute meme I had completely done, then it vanished on me; tell you my pain as I try to buy a new laptop with no money; or, figure out how to pimp myself for a new iPhone 3G. Well, the meme is gone, I’m always a whiny butt, so how about puppy-dog-eyes-83825the pimping? Hey, 2 for 1 - laptop and iPhone!

So, how does one pimp to get what they want? Yea, I know that. Trust me that is what my Twitter friends suggested. I might be desperate, but not THAT desperate. I can try what my daughter does to get her way. Those cute little puppy dog eyes. Doesn’t work on mom, but she has her dad wrapped around her little finger!

Hmm… maybe get down on my hands and knees and beg? Beg until the sun comes up, goes down, comes up… you get the picture. My goal for the begging forever - they will get tired of listening to me and just give my the laptop and iPhone to shut up! I am good at talking and I even will throw my hands in for special effects. Hey, who can resist?

Then there was this post! Pimp myself out by basically saying, “Hey, I’m not above begging on an open forum to get what I want.” So, that sounds like it’s the one! I’m begging on my lil ‘ole me blog because I’m a heel and I want an iPhone 3G and a laptop. Well I want the phone, but I need the laptop.

Please? Pretty please? With whipped cream on top? And a cherry!? I mean heck, stick a pull string in my back and I’ll pimp myself out for Apple.

“Buy an iPhone. They Rock.”

“Buy an iPhone. They’re Awesome.”

“Buy an iPhone. They’re smack your grammy good.”

You get the picture :)

Looking for guest posts

July 7th, 2008 Brunette

Not here, but at another one of my blogs, Simple Home Basics. I have actually asked a few blog friends that I follow on Twitter and Mom Bloggers Club and to my amazement they have said YES! Which makes me giddy with excitement to read others tips and ideas! We also have one recurring blogger, Natalie @ Hot Off the Garlic Press, that will be joining me in keeping readers up to date..

Over the next few weeks I hope to have a lot of change @ SHB. We will have our guest posts, hopefully bring on a few new recurring bloggers, and I have a few giveaways in mind! So keep checking back.

So, go check out the blog and if you are interested in doing a guest post or coming on board as a weekly contributor, let me know. I would love to have you!
