So what the heck was happening around here?
Today we had a bit of a moment. This very blog was redirecting most of the fine readers of this blog to random sites where they were collecting clickity click clicks. Stinkers. So short version, I’d kind of been hacked. Except it turns out the culprit was my BadgePlz widget. The one that displays my Instagram photos…

Let’s Talk ProBlogger.
I like conferences. I’m a real estate brat after all. I’ve been to my fair share of training events. Big or small, there’s always something you can take away from them. Every year as part of developing my blog, I attend Blogopolis. I get to visit with friends, make new ones and generally party like…

I’m craaaaaanky.
Today I was cranky. Short tempered and in a foul mood. I could almost feel the storm clouds raging above my head as they followed me from place to place, person to person. Now usually when I acknowledge I’m cranky, it sort of disappears. Like I say, gosh I’m cranky today, I start to notice it…

Hiding Out
So I skipped the gym and my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday. I was hiding out. Ducking what could only have been a bad week. Eating poorly, sleeping poorly. Even failing to drink enough water, which is kind of my ‘thing’ I’ve always done right. There is something that gets triggered in me when I feel…

Emmy’s Fashion Review aka Who Dressed the Fat Girls?
I don’t know much, but I do know when it comes to formal attire and being bigger than a 12-14, life gets hard. I cannot imagine what it even LOOKS like for a fat woman in somewhere like Hollywood who attends numerous functions and events, all requiring something a bit glam. A bit of a…

Hubby’s making dinner.
Not a big deal but it’s newsworthy because today I FINALLY got my mojo back in terms of writing some posts. I’m set up on the dining room table, magazines and junk strewn everywhere. I’m on a roll. So I asked nicely if he would make dinner, despite the fact I’ve been home for hours…

Do men have summer style?
We had a storm here yesterday afternoon. Today is just as hot and still. People were saying, it’s the first storm of the season, but then it slacked off a little and was nothing more than a brief stint of heavy rain. Surprisingly for a region that floods so often, we need the rain. Grass…

Setting goals for your blog AND making plans to reach them.
I am a property manager/real estate agent by trade. Did you guys know that? Well, I am. And when it comes to managing a rentals division you just can’t hit and hope. You have to have a plan for growth, a plan for development of the team and recruitment {people inevitably quit} and a plan…

Party.
Tonight I’m going to dress up a little, put on some make-up and do my hair {with the assistance earlier today of Bec! Hey babe, thanks} and celebrate my Dad. It’s his birthday. And it’s a biggie. The decorations, the invites, the food, the drinks are all taken care of. Now comes the important thing. What…

Casual Jeans and Stripes {She Wore What}
These are green jeans, my friends. A normal leg and rolled up by me because they were just a bit unflattering on me without it. I love them for the colour and almost disregard the fit. Have you ever done that? Love something so much you figured you would wear it anyway, or alter it if worst…
