(An unremarkable invitation, yes, but I tell you people it took me WEEKS to decide on that particular wording, and an entire frustrating day of margin tweaking and printer-fighting to get them all printed right.)

Sonja’s Guide to Life: Cooking
Generally, when your husband says, “Can you cook tonight?” and you have had the week from hell and not been home once before 7 pm in like 10 days and you are so tired you could weep, you are allowed to say, “Unequivocally, hellz no.” However, on the off chance that you are feeling magnanimous and/or guilty, and you do decide to cook, here are some guidelines to keep in mind:
1. Make a list before you go to the grocery store. Assume nothing. I guarantee that if you think you have eggs or butter or cheese, you don’t. Just buy it. (Of course, that’s how I ended up with 8 bottles of soy sauce in my fridge, but it’s saved me 7 trips to the grocery store, so it evens out, right?)
Country and Class
It’s been the week of Big Events for me.
Our first Brooks Bell Interactive conference, called Click, was this past Thursday, and it was really successful. (Get your invite requests in early next year– I bet we’ll sell out fast.) The format was conversational and participatory, rather than the usual sit-and-listen type conference. We heard lots of great feedback and conversation.
Fearless leader Brooks starts the day with opening remarks.
