T-Shirts, Take Two

September 30, 2007 in Shameless Plugs, Unsolicited Advice | View Comments

Ok, how do I say this politely?

...

I didn't like any of your suggestions for the t-shirt. Um, sorry. Not trying to be rude, but hey, my promotional material, so.

But you can still help me out. I've narrowed my list of cute and catchy slogans to 4 and I need your help deciding which one has the most popular appeal. So click forth and choose your favorite:



Thanks!

Also, if you're an author planning to design a t-shirt, check out my most recent article at Promo-Ho.com. I give tips on how to make a t-shirt that people will, you know, actually buy and wear. Besides your mom and your critique partner. They'll pretty much do anything for you.

Back, Sans Pictures

September 18, 2007 in My Wide Bum | View Comments

Yes, people, I have returned. However, I am still sans pictures which is why I haven't posted a blog yet. I have lots of really cool pictures, but I can't make iPhoto cough them up. Any hints? Advice? I'd rather not export every single one to my desktop and upload that way, but (sigh) I will if I have to, since I'm dedicated like that. I suppose I could just use some web software that iPhoto plays nice with, like Picasa, but I want to use Snapfish, darn it.

So I'm back and newly energized and ready to, you know, be put together and perfect. A good long vacation gives you time to think of all the ways you can improve your regular life when you get back. So my list goes something like:

1. Lose lots of weight
2. Eat three meals and two snacks a day (while losing lots of weight, of course)
3. Stop drinking Diet Coke (Because apparently it takes your liver an ENTIRE YEAR to digest all the toxins from the aspertame in ONE Diet Coke. Ew.)
4. Drink more water
5. Cook at home
6. Keep the house clean
7. Learn clothing trends and attempt to keep up

So far (in the like three days I've been back) I'm doing ok on eating and cooking, but not so good on the rest. I don't drink enough water because, bleh, I just don't like it. Oh, Diet Coke, why have you forsaken me?

As for the other things, I'm debating whether or not to:
a) Post my weight loss progress for all to see-- it kind of gives me the heebie-jeebies to know the anonymous masses can tell how big my butt is.
b) Buy a totally awesome flyaway sweater from Macy's even though it's like $60 and will probably be a stupid-fad-from-2007 by next year.
c) Spend a whole lotta money on Famous Footwear because MAN do they have a lot of shoes for really cheap.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Words of warning?
