    May 31, 2011 /

    I may be a professor, but I am forever a student. I am intrigued with the world around me, and love to learn about different facets of it. Whether it’s through books, taking courses to further my education, attending seminars and conferences, or learning by doing, I take great pleasure in the notion that we can always further our minds and our journeys through education. Perhaps I was missing the rigorous coursework at NU, but last week, as I am nearing readiness with regard to soliciting agents for my novel, I attended my first-ever online webinar hosted by Writer’s Digest and instructed by Sara Megibow of the The Nelson Agency.…

If Mondays are the pits, then this hat is, to use a 1940s term, a peach. 🍑 I’m not sure about my other friends out there in your forties, fifties, and sixties +, but I’ve already done some damage to my skin over the years, and I’d like to preserve my skin as I age.
Teachers look forward to summer break, too, right teachers????
If you haven’t been to #Annapolis in a while, it’s worth the trip. Merchants and restaurants have gone to great lengths to make the experience a good one for you. From decorating their outside windows, to setting up outside seating in the streets for diners, the city awaits your arrival.
Fashion Friday: Yesterday’s weather was spectacular. Wore my new Orioles orange dress in honor of opening day at Camden Yards. Despite not going to the game, I still support!
This is Eva’s house. Her partner/boyfriend of 10 years has left her for his high school sweetheart—a woman he reconnected with after many years on FB. Eva feels her life has been a fraud, and after throwing a bottle across the room and packing up all his crap to give to the Salvation Army, she has to find a way to pick up the pieces.
Happy first day of the Baseball Season! #tbt to when I was young, skinny, and worked in baseball. So many great things came from my 13 years with the #Orioles, including meeting my husband, making great friends, and learning a helluva lot about public relations, marketing, and publishing. And now, after many years, my husband is back with the ballclub. Happy Opening game!
I don’t know about you, but I can imagine sitting my butt in that chair with a good book. Care to join me?
Well, the annual Eastern Communication Association (ECA) Convention looked a whole lot different this year. Participating in a virtual conference has its benefits, but it’s nothing like being there in person. However, Leeanne, Chip and I presented on two panels—one about event planning (on which we wrote a textbook) with colleagues from Chapman University and Ohio University. We also presented on a panel about reducing student anxiety with colleagues from Cornell University, UNC Wilmington, and Duquesne University. We had a great time and got to learn from our peers and exchange best practices and insights.
Happy 🐪 Day! Wednesdays are the longest days of the week for me, with meetings, classes, and the Shapiro/Rouse lecture happening this evening. I figured I’d break out one of my new dresses...totally inspired by some of the fashion in Emily in Paris. I love the sheer sleeves and polka dots as accents on this monochromatic color that can make those of us on the shorter side appear taller.
Sunshine.🌞
I remember how devastated I was a couple of years ago when I first hurt my back and had to toss all my high heels. I’m only 5’1”, and I loved wearing shoes that made me a little taller. But alas...those heels had to go...for a while.
Is it wrong to already be counting down the days until we get to stay in this gem?
