Hands On Small Business

November 30th, 2009

Every other week or so, the gals behind Kirtsy get asked how the heck we started and run a business from different locations around the country. Or maybe they ask us why we do this. I can’t remember. But the point is, we get these kinds of questions a lot. So sometime last summer, we [...]

The Light At The End. Or Not.

November 30th, 2009

Tomorrow will be the last day of NaBloPoMo. And honestly, I can’t believe it’s almost over. This thing has flown, this thing being November. And I’m almost thinking I may keep going on this thing until the end of the year. Not even kidding. Because I still need to write about: 1. Hands On Small [...]

Chartreuse Saturday: A List

November 28th, 2009

1. I’m sitting at the bar in my mom and dad’s kitchen, while my mom is making bacon. I may never leave this place. Or, I may leave in just a few hours because my body can no longer take the massive amounts of food that’s been served since we arrived here on Monday. Seriously. [...]

Black Friday: A Photo Shoot

November 28th, 2009

As I think I might have mentioned, we’re celebrating Black Friday by celebrating Christmas. Because my family likes to get things done. Also, they live in Texas. Have I reminded you of this lately? Because if it’s not clearly obvious, they do. We do. All of us. Well, not my sister and brother-in-law, but they [...]

November 26th, 2009

All the pies have been made, the potatoes have been peeled, the clinky drink glasses have been laid out, and we’re sitting around my parents’ house, watching the parade, and gearing up for massive amounts of celebratory food. Harry is super excited about the turkey this year. In fact, he just shared his turkey recipe [...]

Party Time

November 24th, 2009

So in one week, we’ve enjoyed four Kirtsy book events. In Houston, Washington DC, Dallas, and Austin. And now, I’m entering a couple of days off before our next event (Dec 2 in NYC). But that doesn’t mean the party is over. No. That would be too simple. Of course, almost all of us in [...]

Coco Avant Channel

November 23rd, 2009

I went to see Coco Before Channel tonight, and I highly recommend it. True, it’s a bit of a downer in parts, but the acting, the visuals, and the language are beautiful. Also, it was educational. Before viewing this, I didn’t know: A. That Coco’s real name is Gabrielle. B. That she was an orphan. [...]
