Suburban Blurbs: Hunkering Down
http://suburbanblurbs.blogspot.com/2009/03/hunkering-down.html
The excitement of living on the edge (of the city). Thursday, March 26, 2009. Sounds like an April Fool's joke. C'mon, it's late March! The redbuds are blooming, the daffodils are waving in the wind.spring officially arrived last week! But the weather guys are serious. My favorite meteorologist, Mike Smith, was quoted today in the Wichita Eagle saying, "This could rival the biggest snow we've ever had in Wichita.". Being prepared to withstand the elements does not end with a well-stocked pantry. In t...

Suburban Blurbs: Life Stress Test
http://suburbanblurbs.blogspot.com/2008/08/life-stress-test.html
The excitement of living on the edge (of the city). Sunday, August 24, 2008. I haven’t posted for a few weeks because, well, life’s been a bit stressful. Family reunions out of town, vacation, visitors, and more visitors….events that have had me thinking about which life events have the potential to put people over the edge. That’s when I discovered the Life Stress Test. Cat food with anti-hairball formula actually has reverse effect – 55. Favorite suit no longer fits – 50. With their toddler – 65. Calcu...

Suburban Blurbs: Consumer Tip Alert
http://suburbanblurbs.blogspot.com/2008/09/consumer-tip-alert.html
The excitement of living on the edge (of the city). Wednesday, September 3, 2008. This is just a reminder that if something seems too good to be true….unless it’s a huge end-of-season markdown at Dillard’s and you’ve just found a Tahari suit in your size for $30, someone may be trying to scam you. Who couldn’t use an extra four grand in their checking account? For starters, I had never entered the so-called ‘Mega Lottery.’. Last, there were just enough grammatical errors to make me suspect that the good ...

Suburban Blurbs: Techno Trauma
http://suburbanblurbs.blogspot.com/2009/03/techno-trauma.html
The excitement of living on the edge (of the city). Monday, March 30, 2009. 8220;The easier technology makes our lives the more complicated they become.”. Doesn’t that sound profound? I made it up. I sat down at my keyboard much the way world class organist Diane Bish sits down at her keyboards prior to a concert – confident! Luckily for Ms. Bish (who graduated from East High here in Wichita) she has much more experience and far fewer frustrations. Not sure). Is he just a soft-spoken person? If we went t...

Suburban Blurbs: Back on the Blog
http://suburbanblurbs.blogspot.com/2009/03/back-on-blog.html
The excitement of living on the edge (of the city). Wednesday, March 25, 2009. Back on the Blog. Sometimes things happen. Things like people you care about who are hell-bent on self-destruction despite your best efforts to talk them out of it. Things like stupidity, cupidity, and duplicity, for starters. But I'm ready to put those things in a drawer, close it, and get back to having some fun. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Farewell, Pecan Chicken Sandwich from Arby’s. Back on the Blog.

Suburban Blurbs: June 2008
http://suburbanblurbs.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
The excitement of living on the edge (of the city). Monday, June 30, 2008. When It's NOT The Thought That Counts. Many times in my life, more than I would like to admit, I have found myself at an important place of decision making. This place is an intersection, where cluelessness meets good intentions. At this intersection should be a sign that reads "It's NOT The Thought That Counts.". Nonsense, I told myself. Canned goods last for at least a year. This particular can of pumpkin had been purcha...The o...

Suburban Blurbs: March 2009
http://suburbanblurbs.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
The excitement of living on the edge (of the city). Tuesday, March 31, 2009. Farewell, Pecan Chicken Sandwich from Arby’s. Sometime during the last few months you left, and I didn’t get to say goodbye. Imagine my surprise when I looked for you at the Arby's drive-thru. You weren’t in your usual spot, so I scanned the menu a second time. Then I asked the person on the other side of the intercom where you were…. Arby’s employee: (Click, feedback noise) Hi, welcome to Arby’s! May I take your order? I may be...

Suburban Blurbs: July 2008
http://suburbanblurbs.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
The excitement of living on the edge (of the city). Friday, July 18, 2008. BlogHer Bits: Women's Wisdom. Inner challenges are the hardest to overcome. You shouldn’t ask, “Who am I to do this? 8221; but rather, “Who am I not. A great entrepreneur is someone who can live in chaos and uncertainty. Entrepreneurs say, “I think there’s a better way.”. Sometimes what holds us back is not the glass ceiling but the sticky floor. Don’t let anyone discredit your value. Figure out how to keep going no matter what.
