Welcome to the [Blog] Neighborhood: Meowmix

Yup - you read that right, Meowmix, I mean "Sidney" has decided to join the blog-o-sphere so, while I'm off and about working on one LAST project for the 9to9 and then get ready for this move, why don't you mosey on over HERE and tell Meowmix welcome!

Trust me - she's seriously hilar!

Forgive Me Readers For I Have Sinned...

It has been a few days since I have updated the blog.

Work has a gal with her nose to the grindstone. Combine that with the fact I'm beyond worn out when I get home only to have to keep the North & South warring factions apart, keep the dog out of the litterbox - AGAIN and somehow try to find something that makes me actually want to write - yeah, so not happening. My creativity has been stifled. And, for that, I'm banning myself to my closet to reorg. the shoe collection this weekend so that I won't find the cat hiding behind the shoeboxes.

I took a few days to clear the cobwebs in the brain and, yeah, no luck. Anyhow, I'll be back posting with a vengeance soon because while I have blog fodder stored somewhere in the recesses of the brain (Kar and SL will remind me of the topics I thought of earlier in the week on one of the brief 'Bucks runs), my brain can't seem to process a coherent post this evening outside of this rambling mess. And try to get me to actually not get "Shiny Penny Syndrome" when trying to multi-task with reading and doing a multiple amount of other things at the same time is asking for a miracle to happen. I'm hoping to get caught up on my Google reader this weekend...

However, for your listening pleasure, I have to share a little something. One of the Philly crew uploaded a hell of a Flashback Old Skool Mix and has been sweet enough to let me post the link. So, I highly recommend bookmarking his site and checking out his mixes when he posts them. Thanks DJ Ed-D! You can check out the link HERE. I've been listening to it at work for two days - it seriously rocks!

I mean, c'mon, great music - a gal can't help but think "Hello Weekend!"

Everyone's Talking About Resolutions...

Y'all know the drill - everyone makes resolutions which, in my opinion, is giving themselves an easy out if they don't make it. For example, I could say that I resolve to cut back on my Starbucks runs. Ummm.. I tried that and it doesn't work. It's like when as a kid I would resolve to give up chocolate for Lent. That just never played out.


Instead, Single Ma over at Fabulous Financials talked about "Life Goals" and that is a way of thinking that I wholeheartedly support. I could say I resolve to "get out of debt" but I know that I might just shrug it off at the first sign of a sassy pair of shoes. However, I have a HUGE Life Goal this year that makes me think twice before I go shopping. Plus, with the state of the economy, I want to really build up that E-Fund because I've made a goal to buy my own place by 2010. (Plus - an apartment with these two monsters = chaos. Trust!)


I've also been inspired by various bloggers who have really taken the bull by the horns and either transitioned their blogs to WordPress (Blogger - I *heart* you but Cooking In Stilettos needs a new design and platform) so I've made a Life Goal to actually LEARN my HTML and programming, etc. I learned so much already from some fab bloggers like Hotfessional, Fabulously Broke, Single Ma, Erin Cooks!, The Chic Life, The Leftover Queen, and Chef B, etc. where I'm inspired to just go forth and blog. However, I'm NOT going to blog with BLOG365 HANGING OVER MY HEAD!! That about drove me nuts. Plus, a few months ago, I had dinner with some amazing food bloggers that has really made me reflect on how to make Cooking In Stilettos better...


Another life goal is to really get into the kitchen and play more. I'm working like crazy at the 9to5 where I finally realized that if I continued at this pace, my life is going to pass me by. So I'm learning to take some time for myself. The only time I really don't let my mind race to work issues is when I'm chopping my little heart out in the kitchen. However, the pug will be playing personal trainer to help me work off all that cooking goodness.


I've also made it a goal this year to work on revamping the PR side of things and my writing. Thanks to circumstances that crossed my path earlier in 2008, I've learned I am damn good at doing Culinary PR so while the entertainment industry works itself out with all their recession drama (too many buddies of mine have been laid off), I'm going to learn all I can about the culinary side of things.


Finally, and this is a goal that might be contrary to some of the stuff above, I've resolved to buy my first pair of Loubous (with cash - not plastic!) Now, if that means scouring the outlets, the Internets etc. for the best deal - I'm game. However, I'm also making it a goal to pare down the closet, getting rid of stuff that I don't absolutely love and wear on the regular and the main shoes I find myself wearing are those that are well made. I have a number of pairs of shoes that I rarely, if ever, wear. So EBay and I will be BFFs for a while. Apparently, the Loubou desire has also infected Meowmix because on NYE she sent me a pair of shoes that she fell for and, lo and behold, they were red-sole lovelies. These are the ones I currently have my eye on.





Not a bad Life Goal list to work on in 2009... What do you have on the agenda for 2009?

I Haz Guest Blog At SSG's Spot?

Moi - Guest Blogger? Never thought those those words would be used in the same sentence. However, since one of my fave bloggers, (Sometimes!) Serendipitous Girl (aka SSG) is off cavorting in Paris, she graciously allowed me to guest blog over at her spot.

So, for good giggle, feel free to visit me HERE today where you will yours truly find waxing poetic regarding one of my favorite subjects - the Stiletto.
