My mom always told me, “If you don’t have anything good to say, don’t say
anything at all.” Well…glad to see you 2012!
I’m gonna rock your ass!

Price Chopper
Oh boy. So much to say. Where do I start? Maybe with …“Price Chopper, you’ve come a long way baby!”
When I first moved up here, you were not my first choice. That’s right, you weren’t. I loved Grand Union. They were my warm and fuzzy for all my food shopping needs. Devastation set in when they started closing stores. Still to this day they have the best grocery store buffalo wings ever. Sorry, it’s a love that grows stronger for me all the time. It’s all about absence making the heart grow fonder. Every now and then I’ll make the trip to Corinth to get me some, but I should say your honey wings are my favorites. 
Skipping on over to a Friday, November 11th now, let’s talk about my amazing day spent with a group of amazing people and the ton of amazing food; along with the very evident desire to have meaningful relationships with every guest in the room. Price Chopper not only welcomed us with open arms, but rolled [click to continue…]

I can’t be the only one. Well, that’s just a stupid thing to say. I know I’m not the only one, but it sure feels like it listening to everyone’s excitement around me. Everyone I know has the Christmas spirit, so why can’t I find it? Why do I feel so sad about it? It doesn’t feel like Christmas is here at all for me. I see the lights outside, and yes they’re pretty and they really should have that amazing power to uplift me into the realm of blissful sweep me away with that… SANTA IS COMING SOON EXCITEMENT!!! But no. Not for me. No happy jolly fat man coming to see me this year or letting me play Santa either. I am so sad my ho ho ho is no where to be found.
Is it selfish of me to feel sorry for myself that I can’t buy the gifts I want to? Surprise my kids, family, and friends like I want to? Have companies convinced me that Christmas is about buying and giving things to each other? [click to continue…]

Today is a normal day, I’m sitting here having a working lunch with Christina Gleason (a.k.a. @CutestKidEver) and Kelly Pugliano (a.k.a. @kpugs) at Buffalo Wild Wings (a.k.a. @CliftonParkBWW) as I do every Monday. At least I call it a working lunch, but always seem to have a difficult time concentrating or getting motivated to follow through on the goals I set for myself. Today I have 3 blog posts, a test for an online company to take, and I planned into my to-do list working on my blog Tech Valley Food. By the way, this post is NOT part of the 3 I have on my list. BUT, Kelly gave me the idea to write it.
Since I’m obviously an anxious procrastinator this seems fitting. Every day I wake up rattling off my to-do list in my head. I have good intentions, but it’s just hard to overcome feeling anxious and overwhelmed sometimes. Every night I lay in bed thinking …and rattling tomorrow’s to-do list off in my head. I have such a positive attitude,“I’m going to get so much done tomorrow!” and I drift off to sleep happy. I never let myself think about not accomplishing my goals, not in bed. That would just be bad luck and set me up for failure. Maybe even a nightmare or two.
So, what to do? How can I set myself up for success? How can I strive to reach my goals? I have plenty of them. Lots of them. A ton. Fruition is a word I’d like to have as my BFF starting today. I’d settle for getting cozy with it tomorrow, just as long as it was going to slap me silly into a productive maniac.
Maybe I’ll try an experiment. If I think I am a “type” and I act like that “type”, will it make me that “type”? What’s that called? Power of positive thinking? “I thinking I am productive, so I will act productive, and therefore I’ll be productive!” I’ll trick myself into something productive! I’ll fake it until I make it!
To Do List
- Blog post on personal blog.
- Tech Valley Food blog post.
- Finish CC articles.
- I strive to be productive.
- I strive to complete my To Do List.
How do you motivate yourself to get off your Derrière and make things happen? How do you get your To-Do’s scratched off your list?

Pre-Planning and Coordination is Key
It’s not always easy to get the perfect candid shot, so why would I even begin to think a group photo can be coordinated and smooth sailing? I must be nuts, right? Nope, it can be easy 1 — 2 — 3 “say cheese” to have your perfect Holiday family photos. The only trouble you’ll have is choosing which one of your favorites to use for cards.
Scheduling the Perfect Shoot Time
A good planner knows they have to schedule around everyone’s life. This means you’ll need to start early enough to accommodate daily routines, especially around the holidays. Many companies have holiday parties and these can start early in November and member’s of your family may have one or two to attend. Then you have naps and meal times to consider, [click to continue…]
