    Happy Monday! I’m feeling very Marilyn today. I hope you can find beauty in the imperfections this week.

    Making Funny Outta Crazy

    September 8, 2010 /

    Thanks to Ted.com for this wonderfully funny video from comedian Maz Jobrani that shows how we are more alike than different and yeah I happened to be in Times Square on that day too along with some friends. Small world and it’s getting smaller every day.

    Hope you have a good one.

    Smart Sony Style Meet Up

    September 2, 2010 /

    As most of you who stop by ye old blog often know I’m a big lover of books and romance in particular so when my friend author Liz Maverick tweeted me about the sbtbSony event hosted by Sarah Wendell of Smart Bitches Trashy Books I was in.

    I had a great time at the lunch time chat at the midtown Sony store on Masidon Avenue to talk about their newest ereaders just being launched and to chat about great reads. *Note to self: Gotta get newest Jenny Crusie* It was nice to see so many people come out and show their love of books in the serious summer heat. The passion for the written word is alive and well if you ask me.

    The pink pocket reader was too cute for words and I can see the DD just loving that in her Christmas stocking. I think I’m personally in love with the reader touch edition which is the next size up. It has quick page turns and the note taking feature seems like a dream come true for reviewing books. I’m also in love with Sony’s borrow from your library feature since I’m a huge library girl.

    Check out Sarah here holding the cute pink number

    And look at Angela James from Carina Press who was in town taking notes on the touch (I promise she’s not this blurry in real life).

    Angela was nice enough to give all attendees one free download which I can’t wait to get. Hmm who should I choose? The picking is half the fun.

    So tell me have you gotten on the ereader train yet? If so what type do you have? Sony, Kindle, Nook?

    Best,

    Go On Baby

    August 30, 2010 /

    What’s Jack up to? I never found out what Jack got into or what he was trying to say with that look that he gave me the other day but he was a lot happier over the weekend since Nana came back up for a visit.

    I’m thinking Jack would love it if Nana just moved in.  I’m sure the Dear Twins would too since Nana spoils everyone on her path. It seems the word ‘no’ is no longer in her vocabulary. Man, it’s a whole lot different from when I was a kid and getting into all sorts of mess or at least trying too– you see in my day nothing got by Nana.  But, I guess that’s the fun of her now being a great-grandmother. Getting to say ‘sure’ and ‘yes, go ahead baby’ then sitting back and watching the fun unfold.

     

     

    Happy Monday!

    Best,
