Just before TechBoo and I took off for a weekend getaway to Miami (heavenly!) this past Friday, I learned that Mamalicious! has been awarded a Certified Honest Blogger Award! AJ aka The Cruel Secretary is the wonderful soul who likes me…she really likes me! (Check out my certification on the sidebar…Thanks, TechBoo! Mwah!) According to [...]

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

Post-whine postscript

Monday, September 15th, 2008

So in the previous post, I was whining about self-imposed deadlines and being undisciplined. I checked in with my productivity partner, Yvette, to talk about what carrots we could effectively dangling in front our selves to keep to our deadlines.
