  1. Holes

    October 13, 2010 by Blondette

    Just a quick update because you care…

    I have another sinus infection and breathing is hard. I earned myself a referral to an ENT due to the number of sinus infections I’ve had in the past year. I’m back on Cipro to clear the infection. I’ve taken to eating comfort foods so I was slightly horrified at the numbers on the scale at the doctor’s office.

    But, speaking of holes – how bout those miners in Chile? I don’t have pretty words for it, but I’m so happy for the miners, their families, and Chile to see that those men have been reunited with their families ABOVE GROUND. I wonder what was harder, the first 24 hours they were down there, or the last 24?

  3. Second Breakfast

    November 8, 2009 by Blondette

    mmm. Also known as the first thing I cooked (other than frozen pizza) at my new house.

    You’re looking at scrambled egg whites and 2% sharp cheddar cheese on a bed of sauteed red peppers, red onion, and roma tomato.

    Also, if’ you don’t know what “Second Breakfast” means; you’re not nerdy enough to be my friend. Poor you.

    mmm.

    mmm.

    You need to see my breakfast closeup. You're welcome.

    You need to see my breakfast closeup. You're welcome.

    Because I believe in doing things in 3's.

  4. High School Sweetheart Class of 1999

    August 11, 2009 by Blondette

    In just over a week, my high school graduating class will hold their 10 year reunion. I will not be attending. Interestingly enough, I’ve been friended on Facebook by several former classmates, and really, that’s good enough for me.

    I don’t really like the idea of facing the reunion alone. I wasn’t popular. I was smart, quiet, fat, extremely self-conscious, a little crazy, and just didn’t get into all of the typical high school things. Oh, and I was in the band. I was not an extreme loser, but I was definitely a non-entity on the social radar.

    Parties? only if they were sleepovers where we talked about boys, watched movies, and ate treats.

    Boyfriends? Only in my diary.

    The only good thing about this reunion is realizing that 10 years later, I’m not the same person I was back in high school. I have a successful career, loads more social skills, and a much stronger sense of worth.

    I will admit to e-stalking the reunion profiles to see who’s married, who has kids, who has a shitty job, who has a better job than me, and just other general “where are they now.”  Granted, I’ve gotten some of that info from the phenomenon that is Facebook, but it’s still interesting.

    Overall, I think I’m doing alright. After all, I was in a magazine- how many of them can say that?

  5. Slogans

    April 11, 2009 by Blondette

    On my way to pick up a salad for lunch today, I started thinking about my slogan and tag line. Currently, it’s “a girl in sales and marketing” which is in tribute to the song-spiration for my domain name. But, I don’t actually blog post about sales or marketing. One could argue that of course I don’t need to blog post about sales and marketing because the blog is about me, the girl. The girl in sales and marketing. (and come on, I spend 12+ hours of my day on sales and marketing already)

    Anyhow, it got me thinking, “to what would I change my slogan/tag line?” Here are a few of the ideas:

    • Big, Beautiful and Blonde
    • Making Blonde Smart
    • Because Blonde is Awesome and So Am I (okay actually I just made this up because I couldn’t remember what I thought up earlier)
    • Not all Blondes are Tiny
    • The Life of Katie Leas
    • Where Blonde Meets ___
    • Geeking Up the Peroxide Factor
    • The Dirty Side of Blonde

    There were two that were actually good that I, of course, cannot remember. This is the problem with being creative while driving- you can’t write things down!

    I decided to see if the Internet would help me with my quest- so I hunted down my two favorite time wasting sloganizers.

    1. http://thesurrealist.co.uk/slogan.cgi?
    2. http://www.sloganizer.net/en/

    Here’s what they came up with:

    • “Naughty, but Tremenous Blondette.” This came up a few times which is a bit frightening. I’m a reformed lady!
    • “For the Tremendous Blondette You Don’t Yet Know.”
    • “8 Out of 10 Owners who Expressed a Preference said Their Cats Preferred Tremendous Blondette.” Back to that cat lady thing.
    • “Tremendous Blondette Unscripted.”
    • “The Tremendous Blondette with the Hole.”  Is a comment really needed for this?
    • “The Tremendous Blondette Goes Straight to Your Head.”
    • “A Day Without Tremendous Blondette is a Day Without Sunshine.”  So true.

    So, what are your suggestions?
