Social Media Sabbatical- Update Month 3
3 MONTHS — It’s hard to believe that I’ve been completely off of Facebook and Twitter for this long. [If you want to read Part 1 of my Social Media Sabbatical, click here, & Part 2 Social Media Sabbatical Day 30-ish click here] It’s become normal. I don’t tweet. I don’t cruise Facebook updates every other second. It’s really kinda nice. There have been mornings, when I’m sitting at the kitchen counter, enjoying my... Read More
Detox Update-Social Media Sabbatical, Day 30-ish
Social Media Sabbatical ~ it’s been 30 days since my last…. indulgence.:-) [if you want to read Part 1 of my Social Media Sabbatical, click here] Hi, my name is Sandy and I’m a Facebooking Twitt-aholic The first 2 weeks were the hardest. It’s really humorous to watch your brain as it thinks in 140 characters and status postings. I find myself wanting to take pictures of a beautiful dessert or a fabulous cocktail and... Read More
Social Media Sabbatical
So, I’m not entirely sure how I decided that I needed a Social Media Sabbatical, like, right this very minute, but I just asked my good friend Melani to change the passwords on my Facebook & Twitter accounts and had her promise not to tell me what they are, no matter how much I might beg and plead until next year. January. 1st. 2012. Whaaaaaa? How am I going to do this? I think I might be cheating already. Because I’m writing... Read More
What the World Needs Now

We were sitting in my kitchen and he said, “It’s your birthday, you should watch this video of Bohemian Rhapsody on the ukulele.” So we did. And it was awesome. I had to share it with you. Jake says in his introduction “What the World Needs Now is More Ukulele” and I completely agree. Glenn & his wife took ukulele lessons... Read More
It Ain’t About the Money ~ or is it?
My daughter & I were singing in the car the other day (and dancing at the red lights) when this Jesse J. song came on. Price Tag. Have you heard it yet? (I posted the video & lyrics below for you) The first few lines of her song have been haunting me. “Seems like everybody’s got a price, I wonder how they sleep at night. When the sale comes first, And the truth comes second, Just stop, for a minute and Smile …… Why... Read More
Yeah, I’m Lazy
I joke quite a bit about being lazy. I get a lot done, but I also treasure my downtime. My friends make fun of (and my daughters despise) my “one thing a day” rule. I don’t like to be over scheduled, so I always build in plenty of time to relax, or if that’s just not possible when I’m working on a big deadline, I make sure to plan something FUN as soon as my deadline is met. The other day my youngest daughter said; “Hey... Read More
