I Have to Tear Myself Away From the Computer…

September 11, 2007 by WendyB

September 11, Continued

September 11, 2007 by WendyB

I wasn’t going to share this picture due to embarrassment, but plenty of my co-workers saw it at the time and it IS funny. I’m one of those people who tries to find something to laugh at even in dark times. It might be hysterical and inappropriate laughter, but still. When we went back to…

September 11 Is Here Again

September 11, 2007 by WendyB

It’s hard to believe it’s been six years. In 2001, both my husband and I worked across from the World Trade Center at the World Financial Center (we were at different companies though). My company had office space in both the WTC and the WFC, and one employee was killed in the Trade Center that…

Save Britney Spears!

September 9, 2007 by WendyB

Britney swimming with my Borgia ring. Britney Spears, my favorite jewelry thief, had a rough time at the VMAs last night. But America loves a comeback, and I sincerely hope she will get her act together. I know people are saying she’s over but if Richard Nixon can make a comeback, anyone can. Honestly, I…

Do You Ever Feel Like Something Is Missing?

September 9, 2007 by WendyB

Yet you can’t quite figure out what it is? “I can’t put my finger on it, but something is amiss, ” thought Gwendolyn. “Luckily, a LBD is always appropriate!” Gorgeous future client (ahem!)
