Ironic

by Susan on February 4, 2010

Somehow, my sites know when I’m uber busy and traffic mysteriously kicks up at a time when I don’t have any time to capitalize on it. Just think what I could accomplish with the right momentum at the right time!

HOMEdigz has great potential and a new wave of members. I need to offer more than just a place to hang out. My thoughts…integrate a front end CMS that offers product, value-added content, and oodles of plugins.

Ok, I’m going to go think about this some more…has merit!

Is the Gander Skeptical of the Goose?

by Susan on January 29, 2010

I feel like the over-zealous juggler at the county fair challenging a volunteer to “go ahead, toss me another ball, I can handle it”!

I don’t know if I’m nuts, arrogant or just appropriately confident to be taking on as much as I am right now. But I must confess, it’s invigorating. I’m finding that having a lot on my plate makes me more efficient and gives me a new, bigger perspective on everything I’m working on.

What’s good for the goose is good for the gander, right?

Or is it.

Where I’m losing out is having less time with the kids. And when I do get time with them, they’re pretty darn tired.

I’m a geek-enabler

by Susan on January 10, 2010

It’s official.  I’m a geek-enabler.

I helped my father-in-law post a car for sale on Craigslist.  Then I spent time this afternoon helping my 4 year old learn how to play Webkinz online.  Then I helped hubby with his fishing blog.

Maybe it’s just a winter thing. Too cold to get out to play.  But it’s becoming apparent that at some point the kids are going to need their own computer.  My 3rd grader is in line now to play her games on my PC.  She’s waiting for me to finish writing this.

Regards,

The Geek Family

Do what you love

January 10, 2010

Have you ever had one of those moments when everything just naturally comes together and things start to make sense?  Some call the the “Laws of Attraction” or “Destiny” or “Fate.”  I call it real life.
As you work on what is important to you, not only does it not feel like work, but it actually [...]

A Happy Geek

January 3, 2010

It was a cold, windy snowy day.  The kind where it’s even too cold to send the kids out to sled. They played happily indoors (their Christmas toys still feel new) so I had a little time to do something.
So what did I do with this precious pocket of time?  Yup.  I worked on a [...]

New Chapter?

December 11, 2009

Ok, I probably haven’t been as candid about these past few weeks as I typically am in this blog.  I accepted a position as VP, Marketing.  Does that mean I sold out?  I don’t think so.  First of all, it’s a great job, and I was able to get it because of all the hard [...]

Pause to Play

November 17, 2009

One great benefit of running your own (albeit part time) show, is that you can take a break and go to Disney on your birthday.  Yes, I got a bit behind, but I can handle it.  Good things are still happening, and I discovered that the world did not stop when I don’t have access [...]

Branding Clarity

November 5, 2009

It’s been a good week, despite the family (including me) having the flu.  Perhaps it was the “special”  cough medicine my doctor prescribed, but I had a moment of clarity.  I needed to tie the local website more closely to the national blog, and I needed to better define my target market.  It’s a branding [...]

Laws of Attraction

November 1, 2009

Coming off a sick week.  Both girls and I had the flu.  The flu is so bad around here that they actually closed the schools last week.  Being sick is bad enough, but having to take care of two sick kids at the same time really stinks.  But…thanks to some heavy duty coughing medicine from [...]

Off My Clocker

October 14, 2009

I’m looking forward to changing the clocks for Daylight Savings in a couple weeks.  My internal clock feels out of sync, which is why I suspect I had a perpetually late day today.
First, we missed the bus. Then I was a couple minutes late to the Pre-K class for “Specials Persons” day.  I was 10 [...]

The Perpetual Pendulum

October 13, 2009

Don’t you hate it when bloggers start their post with “sorry I haven’t posted in awhile”?  Yea…me too.  Not sayin’ it!
Been very busy on the home front -yes, that familiar balancing act.  I’m taking a look at my staging business from another perspective and will be making some changes soon.  All good.  But first I [...]
