a special kind of headhunter

I post on four different sites on a regular basis, and by regular I mean pretty much daily.

There’s this site.

There’s my LiveJournal, which I’m not helping you find.

There’s my Vox.

And then there’s Metroblogging Minneapolis.

So, if someone could find me a job doing nothing but writing in various online spots all day long, I would gladly give you… 10% of my earnings. How’s that for a deal?

he needs options

twins collarYou may remember the red baseball collar I bought for Little Riley Pants three months ago. It’s cute and it’s perfect for him in every way possible. Everyone always says, “Oh, do you like baseball?” when they talk to him in their coochie-coochie-coo baby voice, and of course, I always answer with, “Why, yes. Yes, he does.”

And now, after a lunchtime trip to PetSmart where I spent entirely too much money on my Fancy Pants, I found the cutest Minnesota Twins collar in all the world. So, of course, I had to buy it. I mean, when you think about it, what almost 17 month old boxer puppy wouldn’t want a collar with his favorite baseball team on it?

You’ll be proud to know that I left the leash on the shelf, but not after I threw it my cart for a trip around the pet store looking for a new toy. And, yes, I do need a cart at the pet store, but only because my shoulder and neck are injured, not allowing me to balance the 25 pound bag of dog food on my head like I usually do. But let’s not tell my chiropractor that.

I’ve been tossing the idea around and finally committed to it this morning at 9:12 am. I’m gonna jump into the whole Nano craze this year. I say this every year, but this is the first time I’ve actually started writing and I’m up to 380 words right now, thank you very much. Only about 29 of them make sense, but it’s more about quantity rather than quality, right? I thought so.

In two weeks, I head to Phoenix for a work conference. I’m less than thrilled about it and for the most part, it’s because I don’t feel like flying for 3 hours and then sitting in meetings for 10 hours a day for four solid days. The training will be more than useful, so I’m hoping my body lets me remain in a seated position for more than two hours at a time without wanting to completely fall apart like it does now.

This was my Halloween costume. I made it all by myself, based off of this. I got the t-shirt here. I have way too many t-shirts, most that will not be appropriate to wear in front of small children and none that would be appropriate to wear to the aforementioned sales conference, where the dress code is listed as “way too fancy for Wendy for the entire time”.
