So, as I was walking into work yesterday morning I noticed (out of the corner of my eye) that a guy had caught up to me and then continued to walk dead-step-even with me. If I slowed down, he slowed down. If I sped up, he sped up. Then it happened.
He said, “you smell awfully [...]

So, it’s been almost a month since my last post. I realize that’s a sin in the blogging world. But, hey, I’ve been really busy! I posted pictures of my Bernheim adventure on my Facebook page. Thus, I’m moving on to my next topic of interest…the Aqua Globe (as seen on [...]
Landscaping Tips for the Unlearned
Posted in Personal, tagged landscape, landscaping tips, mowing, weeding on September 6, 2008 | 1 Comment »
As promised, I’m writing about landscaping. I figure I’ve learned a thing or two this last year, so why not share it with the rest of the world?
First, let’s talk about grass. Do you remember my mowing adventures last April? If not, that’s ok. Basically, the experts recommend you cut your grass twice a week. [...]
So, about owning that name space.

When I do a Google search for “katie shedd” (as I do quite regularly…yes, I’m just that arrogant), my blog pretty much owns the space. My LinkedIn profile shows up. So does my Naymz profile (that I never update). There are a few rogue Facebook profiles. But, I pretty much own [...]
Did you just picture me naked?

So, I’ve been thinking lately that I need to come up with more engaging content for my blog. Maybe something a little more edgy. Thus the title. They say that in order to capture your audience you should ask a question. You’re still reading, so it must have worked. It’s [...]

HGTV is my failsafe. If nothing good is on TV, I turn to the home and garden channel. Well, sometimes I don’t even surf the stations…but that’s not important. For those that don’t know what HGTV is, the station plays a lot of home improvement/design shows.
Last night I was watching House [...]

I was recently exploring the Web 2.0 directory when I discovered a budgeting site that I thought might be of good use, especially in light of the insane gas prices.
No, the website won’t pay for your gas, or even discount your gas. But, it will help you figure out just how much you’re spending on gas [...]
Exploiting Fear

You know, I was watching TV the other day and an ad came on that totally disappointed me. I understand that It’s not anything new to see commercials that play to the fears of its audience. For years, the insurance industry has fed worst-case scenarios to the masses. The pharmaceutical [...]
Memorial Day Madness

So, I’ve made a discovery. It’s likely to become an obsession. And it was all prompted this past Memorial Day weekend.
This past weekend I went up to visit my sister. Whenever I visit my sister I can count on two things happening. Number one, I’ll have plenty of cereal choices in [...]
