defining the circles that make me whole
A fun morningPosted by Alli on November 29, 2008
We are still visiting Lake Martin, readying ourselves to head back to Chattanooga tomorrow. It started raining yesterday afternoon and was still pouring this morning. We were grateful for the pre-planned activity of heading to the Bass Pro Shop to check out how they deck the halls for Christmas. Damon had read online about the [...]
Izeafest :: The good, the bad, the suggestionsPosted by Alli on September 16, 2008
I could draw out my Izeafest observations into posts that will run for days, but one thing about blogging is life goes on and I want blog about sinus headaches and my new Chacos. So, I give you my highlights. THE GOOD Seeing my friends. It was the biggest reason for me going to Orlando. [...]
Izeafest :: The IzeahuntPosted by Alli on September 14, 2008
In stark contrast to last year’s Postiecon, the Izea team decided to not host a fancy, good behavior event for the conference attendees. Instead, the conference ended with an Izea-style scavenger hunt. If you are familiar with the company at all, you probably know Ted Murphy (Izea’s CEO) is really into the scavenger hunt as [...]
From Pretty to SweatyPosted by Alli on
I am sitting in my hotel room, digesting breakfast and debating another cup of coffee. If you take a look at the picture above, I hope you see the stark contrast I see. When I arrived on Thursday I immediately got pretty and excited to see my friends at the Izeafest pre-party. I left the [...]
Izeafest Day TwoPosted by Alli on September 13, 2008
Well, I’m currently sitting in my hotel room eating Pizza Bianca and resting up before the next Izea event: the Izeahunt! The Izeafest conference was a good one overall. There were lots of great speakers and panelists. One panel, Tools and Plug-ins, I really looked forward to because Eric Hersman was one of the panelists. [...]
Izeafest Day OnePosted by Alli on September 12, 2008
I am having a great time in Orlando, enjoying the sessions and panels at Izeafest. So far the best of the best has been Jeremy Schoemaker, aka Shoemoney, who gave an excellent keynote presentation this morning. He didn’t just say, “I’m a big money blogger and you should admire me.” He gave a real story [...]
No way is this the sunshine state!Posted by Alli on September 11, 2008
My trip to Florida has rather by the book. Got on the shuttle, checked my bag (didn’t have to pay a fee!), went straight through security, holed up at the gate, and then got on the airplane and flew straight to Orlando. Once in Orlando, picked up my suitcase, met my friend Deb, waited for [...]
My bags are (almost) packed, I’m (almost) on my wayPosted by Alli on September 10, 2008
We got back from our last trip late Saturday night. And now I am packing again for my trip to Orlando. This time it is all about me, me, me! I don’t have to worry about packing enough boxer briefs, pull-ups, and where the heck is Damon’s black belt? I am even dumping everything out [...]
Blogging Tapas, vacation modePosted by Alli on August 31, 2008
It was never my intention to go this long without a post, but it goes like this: ~Friday I got it in my head we had to get our car clean before we traveled south for the weekend. I also wanted to find out where the heck the ants in our car were coming from. [...]
Pop and fizzlePosted by Alli on July 9, 2008
I was really excited to have my new DSLR with me for the 4th of July. I was looking forward to finally making use of all the “How to photograph fireworks” blog posts I had read in the past year. In the past, I had recorded pictures like this one. And I should note the [...]
