I can see the sun shining brightly outside my window. I am determined to make my way outside today and get some fresh air and enjoy the beautiful day.
The forecast is calling for rain this afternoon, so I think I am going to go to an early movie downtown and I also am in the [...]

I haven’t talked much about work or really even personal stuff lately, have i?
Work first. Busy and I love it.
I have made no bones about loving what I do, and I still believe that the sign of being a success in my business is not about the balance in my bank account or [...]

Just Add Garlic
Posted on 26. May, 2008 by Deb.
Today is the first time I have cooked in….forever. It’s easier in so many ways to eat out, but then, when I’m in the kitchen, I forget how incredibly comforting it is to chop and stir.
Yesterday, I did go to the grocery store and one of the things I picked up with boneless chicken [...]

a pigtail day
Posted on 26. May, 2008 by Deb.
I didn’t want to make any specific plans for the day – just the ability to hang out and do…..not much….is a huge bonus in so many ways. We’ve been to the movies (Indiana Jones), I went and got a facial while kid had a massage, we’ve had sushi and pizza…and last night watched some [...]

It’s a wonder….

I’m going through the Fall / Winter Catalogs for Hachette Books (Little, Brown)….picking through the books to review and authors to interview….and it’s amazing the number of authors that live in the Virginia / Maryland / DC area. It’s a wonder I don’t pass one of them by on the street

Memorial Day: 2008
Posted on 24. May, 2008 by Deb.
Yes, I know that it is only Memorial Day weekend, and not yet Memorial Day, but I have some quiet time right now…and want to post while my mind is fresh.
For many, Memorial Day is a time for BBQ and heading to the lake or simply a three-day-weekend. For others, though, it is the [...]

Is it Thursday
Posted on 22. May, 2008 by Deb.
I went to dinner with The Marine Boy tonight. This month is kind of our three-year anniversary . Yep, three years ago we met and have been friends ever since. At times, there has been a teeny more than friendship, but it has always boiled down to friends. Being with him is comfortable and it’s [...]

This incredibly sexy and lovely Marc Fisher Peep Toe Pump.
Problem was, ti was only available in a size 7 1/2. [...]

Today is Tuesday. And it was Tuesday All Day Long
Posted on 20. May, 2008 by Deb.
Overall, today was a fabulous day.
I have this “gianourmous” to do list and today was able to knock of this incredibly huge chunk. there is still more there, but progress feels fabulous.
I hate to drive in DC but at times, I will admit, the cab drivers scare me. This morning on the drive into the [...]

Courage. Passion. And Karma
Posted on 19. May, 2008 by Deb.
I’ve been thinking a lot about karma….and passion…..and courage. That is two of my three words for 2008….and a third word that has been a focus for me for more years than I can easily count.
Today on my flight into DC, I sat next to a flight attendant…and we talked about work – and he [...]

Pack It Up, Move It Out
Posted on 15. May, 2008 by Deb.
It seems like just yesterday I was unpacking everything and putting item exactly where it belongs. Now, it’s time to smush everything back into my suitcases, figure out what I am going to leave at the hotel (since I will be back on Monday) and what I need to take home.
I did get a head [...]
