I’m Giving Away a Gift Card Because THIS PR Person Gets It 2008-08-07 13:20:12 Over the past couple years a lot of bloggers have bashed public relations professionals. They don’t get it. They send us form letters blatantly demonstrating that they do not read our blogs and often don’t even take the time to discover our names.

Do You Need Gift-Giving Advice? 2008-08-06 14:51:30 I love to give gifts, but frankly, I suck at it. I struggle over choosing the right gift and hate resorting to the gift card.

Contest Winners, Why Won’t You Contact Me? 2008-08-21 22:14:58 I seem to have some bad luck when it comes to contests. A year or more ago I tried to give away a Cars DVD and the first winner chosen did not answer my emails. Last month, I offered a free blog design to someone who subscribed to my RSS feed.

The Tarot Says 2008-09-16 08:59:37 I went through this big "meta-physical" kick about 8 years ago. I watched "Crossing Over with John Edward" religiously. I meditated. I read tarot cards. I searched for spirit guide. I recently got out my tarot cards again and attempted a reading. Read more:Tarot

Introducing… The Present Professor, where you’ll find gift-giving advice, “whether it be for a last-minute birthday party your 10-year-old never told you about or a wedding where all the cheap registry stuff was already purchased.”

Preschool and Panic Attacks 2008-09-20 18:36:45 This week we started our new fall schedule that includes preschool, gymnastics, ballet and swimming. And my usually-social daughter has suddenly turned into a whining, clinging, crying-and-deathgripping-my-neck child. I've been completely blindsided by her behavior.

Election Results: Sadness and Apprehension 2008-11-05 10:09:46 This morning, my insides are in a knot. I expected Obama to win.
