I've had quite a few friends and family wonder how to get an Amazon customer service rep on the phone, so instead of going through the instructions one-by-one, I thought I would publish them here and link people as needed. If this helps you as well, all the better! Cheers! STEP 1: Navigate to "Help" … Continue reading Getting Help from Amazon by Phone

Why Do We Choose to Do Difficult Things for Fun?
What compels us to take up hobbies or pursuits that are sometimes difficult or even painful? It's a question my husband has asked me a few times about my desire to write stories, most often when I complain about how hard it can be. There are just times when characters don't come to life as … Continue reading Why Do We Choose to Do Difficult Things for Fun?
You Know You’ve Gotten Used to Working from Home When…
I spent almost the entire day today working in my pajamas. My son came home from school and found me tapping away at the keyboard in my PJs and looked at me funny, so I had to explain. You see, for the past week or so, I've had video meetings with co-workers every.single.day. Which means … Continue reading You Know You’ve Gotten Used to Working from Home When…
The Van
This is the post in which I pay loving tribute to my Toyota Sienna minivan, a vehicle that was the bridge between my single, career girl post-collegiate days and my present state as a working wife and mother of two. The van saw me through it all over almost 15 years and 192,000 miles of … Continue reading The Van
Making Memories at Disney: Then and Now
OK, I admit it. When my husband first suggested that we buy our family annual passes to Disney for Christmas, the first thing I said was something like, "Are you crazy?" I mean, I don't know if you've checked the prices for Disney tickets lately but they are quite a hefty investment. So much so … Continue reading Making Memories at Disney: Then and Now
Photo Friday: Sunlit Cloud
Here's another shot I snapped during a photo walk with my daughter in our neighborhood. She and I both were intrigued at the way the setting sun seemed to light the cloud from within.
Photo Friday: Yellow Flower on a Fall Day
I'm not sure what kind of flower this is but I really just liked the vibrant yellow orange color and the little hint of green from the leaves. Maybe the colors spoke to me because there was the tiniest hint of fall in the air with just a wisp of coolness to relieve the normally … Continue reading Photo Friday: Yellow Flower on a Fall Day
Photo Friday: Dog’s POV
I took this picture of my dog Wrigley on a walk in our neighborhood just as an experiment using aperture priority on my new-ish camera. There is something about the colors in this photograph that appeal to me: the pink tip of her tongue, the green of my neighbor's lawn, the gray asphalt, and Wrigley's … Continue reading Photo Friday: Dog’s POV
Voice Recognition Funnies
I have a private blog that I use to catalog the books I've read and my unfiltered thoughts about them, collect favorite passages from my reading, and gather interesting new words I come across. I was experimenting with the WordPress.com mobile app and my tablet's built-in voice recognition software last night to dictate a book … Continue reading Voice Recognition Funnies
Photo Friday: Sunset Palms
I caught a glimpse of the bright pink sky out of my bedroom window so of course I grabbed my camera and headed outside to shoot a few pics. This is one of my favorites. I love how saturated the pinks are and the how they melt into violet and then blue. I also really … Continue reading Photo Friday: Sunset Palms
