After spewing forth words that I care not to repeat here on this family friendly blog, I bit the bullet, reformatted my computer and upgraded to Windows 7.
Why the Delay?
What stopped me from upgrading earlier was that I dreaded the backup/reformat/re-installation/reconfiguration process. I realize it’s not absolutely necessary to reformat the computer to upgrade [...]

EGADS, They’re Home Again…
Let me start this post by saying that I love my children! They are the driving force for just about everything I do. After all, this blog would be called “No Job for This Woman” rather than “No Job for Mom” if I weren’t a mom.
Home from School
That being said…they’re home from school [...]

And the Sourpuss Award Goes to…
I’ve been challenging myself to find articles everywhere. Whether I’m in the grocery store, walking around the lake or spending family time, everything and everyone is a potential article or blog post.
Imagine my surprise when unsolicited material for this blog landed in my lap. I couldn’t believe it. I’ve gotta share this [...]
Don’t Leave Money on the Table
The title of this post might imply that I left money on the table by getting the short end of the stick while negotiating a freelance writing gig. That’s not the case. I’m talking about leaving tax deduction money on the table.
Organizing Tax Deductions
After spending pretty much the entire day a few days ago cozying [...]
Time to Remove the Clutter
I was about to backup my computer for my semi-annual reformat and software reinstall which helps to keep my computer running smoothly when and I stopped and took a picture of my desktop. One picture is worth a thousand words.
The Word.doc icons are all articles that I’m in the process of writing. Some of them [...]
Writing Around the School Bus
Yes that says ‘writing’ around the school bus and not ‘riding’ around in the school bus. My daughter’s morning school bus has put a serious cramp in my morning writing time.
School Bus Hiccups and Pick Ups
Since this is the second week of school I thought I was through the first week’s hiccups and headed [...]
Do You Use a Writing Voice?
When I say writing voice, I’m not talking about whether or not your write in the first, second or third person. I’m talking about using the proper voice to convey your thoughts and ideas. Do you use the right…how should I say it… pitch, tone, accent, um…intonation level in your voice when you [...]

September 1st: The Beginning of Writing Pre-Season
Time to wake up the muse and get the fingers into typing shape.
During the months of June, July and August, most of us relax a little (or a lot). The kids are out of school enjoying their summer break, many employees finally get a chance to take much-needed vacations and for many industries, summer [...]
Working From Home: Sometimes You Gotta Tell the House to Shut Up
Very recently I had the opportunity to spend several days writing without being interrupted. No, I didn’t sit at the computer for several days straight. What I’m saying is that the kids were at camp (sleep over) and the hubby was at work and I had time to write to my heart’s content.
I had [...]
Taking a Personal Day Off from Work
Ring, Ring, Ring…
Employer: Hello
Felicia: Hello, Ms. Employer. I’m calling to let you know I won’t be in to work today. Please put me down for a personal day.
Employer: Not coming in? Why not?
Felicia: Last night I stayed up helping my daughter pack for camp and I’ve got to drive several [...]
