I never have been much of a book reader. I tend to start a book and never finish it. So when I finally did read a book in it’s entirety a couple of years ago, I was so proud of myself that I wrote a book review.
Well, it seems like I’ve been spending more and more time just sitting and waiting (ie the kids’ doctor appointments, airports, etc), and I can only read so many celebrity gossip magazines (after I read my Revenue magazine). So, I ordered a few “chic novels” (aka romantic comedies). Sure, they are all funny and mainly about a girl chasing a guy and living happily ever after in the end, but I’m tending to grow fond of them.
In the last month, I have read Exes and Ohs by Beth Kendrick and Stupid and Contagious by Caprice Crane. And this past weekend, while traveling to the Mile High City (no, I didn’t join the Mile High Club as I flew alone), I started to read A Total Waste of Makeup by Kim (great name) Gruenenfelder. And I’ve ear-marked a couple cool quotes I’ve read so far…
When it comes to finding a man in a bar, remember: the odds are good but the goods are odd.
Money can’t buy happiness. But it sure can rent it for awhile.
Good ones, eh? I’m now to read some more…
What I’m Listening to on iTunes: “Crazy Bitch” by Buck Cherry - I must confess I had an old boyfriend once tell me that song was written about me.

Since I work from home, I communicate with my colleagues via IM and email. I have a dedicated business phone, but I was getting sick of all the CPA Networks bugging me. Then I found Private Phone. Owned by NetZero, it offers a free local phone number with voice mail. So, I have my (not so) private phone number now listed on my Contact Page. This way I can screen my calls and only call back who I really want to talk to. Go ahead call it and see how it works. I promise not to answer. I won’t even know you called unless you leave me a friendly hello. I have it set up to email me when I have a new message. You can also set to send you a text message to your cell phone.
I’ve been a good spokesperson for Private Phone. I recommend using a private phone number for signing up for freebies and entering sweepstakes. Sure saves on the telemarketing calls. They recommend a private phone number for classifed ads, to have a local number in another city, even to give out on dating sites.
Ok, I’m getting off track… My original intent of this post was to write about how it’s nice to go affiliate marketing conferences to get to meet my colleagues in person. In Vegas, I finally got to meet Shmuly of OneParkAvenueReality.com…
This is
Patrick, me and Shmuly at the Tryst Nightclub,
Wynn Hotel, Vegas
Shmuly’s latest mission is to recruit Ari Gold as his talent agent. He had me going for a minute, as I don’t subscribe to HBO.
