By Laura Thomas, ABC | July 3rd, 2008
This will be one very quick post, not only because I have too much to process in the short time I have internet access; but, also because it is hard for me to type on an Italian keyboard!
Yes, I am here in the middle of vacation stealing a few moments to revist the rest of […]
When the Moon Hits Your Eye …
By Laura Thomas, ABC | June 19th, 2008
As the solstice moon rises, I’m counting down the days until our big vacation. Now that it’s getting closer I’m starting to think of all the things that still need to be done to prepare. Stop the newspaper, make arrangements for the dog, ask neighbors to keep an eye on the house - that sort […]
Remembering My Father
By Laura Thomas, ABC | June 15th, 2008
Today, on Father’s Day, while my husband charges his new electric razor and watches golf from a prone position on the couch, I want to take just a moment to remember my own father, John Thomas Pevehouse.
Born of a generation that often worked for just one employer until retirement, he held down many different jobs: […]
Two Steps Forward, One Step Back
By Laura Thomas, ABC | June 10th, 2008
Tonight I sit here enjoying the ability to watch videos online without hiccups on my laptop while my husband watches the NBA Finals in high-definition on our new big screen TV. Yes, Christmas came early for us this year even though we’ve not gotten a stimulus check.
My spouse had been yearning for a bigger TV, […]
Social Media Explained as Ice Cream
By Laura Thomas, ABC | June 10th, 2008
Just a quick post to share another fantastic video from the folks at Common Craft (their video explaining Twitter is on my very first post here).
Now if only more of my friends and family who don’t understand my fascination for social media would actually read my blog and see this!
Summertime Thoughts of Student Jobs
By Laura Thomas, ABC | June 8th, 2008
It’s summertime and many high school and college students are keeping busy with summer jobs. Some may be mundane and have nothing to do with ultimate career goals, while others may be fun and others are calculated steps toward entry-level jobs post-graduation.
This got me to thinking about the wide variety of jobs I held as […]
I’ve Got a New Gig
By Laura Thomas, ABC | June 3rd, 2008
No, I haven’t left Dell or moved to a new job there; but, I have expanded my blogging platforms. Now, in addition to posting here, and on Direct2Dell.com, I’ll be contributing to This Mommy Gig!
I’d not set out to become a “mommy blogger“. Heaven knows there are already enough of those out there. And, I intended […]
If Only Tweets Were Calories
By Laura Thomas, ABC | May 27th, 2008
I wrote here at the beginning April about my increasing Twitter usage and said that I was going to put myself on a twitter diet. Well, I’m happy to report that I do much better reducing my tweet output than I do my caloric intake. And, I didn’t even need a twittervention to do it!
My […]
To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before
By Laura Thomas, ABC | May 21st, 2008
Apologies to Willie for the title of this post, but a recent road trip to visit my mother got me thinking about old boyfriends and songs that remind me of them. Maybe it was the “best of the 80s, 90s and now” radio that I listened to as I cruised along Highway 79 across east […]
Leaving Las Vegas
By Laura Thomas, ABC | May 12th, 2008
A week ago today, I was in the happy midst of a mini vacation thanks to the fact that my husband won a sales contest for a trip to Vegas. Sweet! It was a much needed break and just happened to coincide with our 12th anniversary (hey, there _is_ still a “non-mommy” woman inside me! […]
