I want to thank the amazing editors of She Takes on the World, a popular and award-winning blog for women entrepreneurs for the fabulous surprise to ring in the new year. I found out yesterday that I am included in their 2009 Women of the Year list...

The other day, we went to Paxton Manor, a beautiful building in the Old Market where my grandfather lives with his wife. We had dinner together in the neighborhood at a new Indian restaurant called Flavors. I’m not a connoisseur of Indian food, but that place is my new favorite in town. ...

There are many large publications that publish an annual Women of the Year list and I'm always disappointed when I see the lists populated with female

I loved 2009. January: There’s no better way to start a new year than with a rejuvenating, relaxing vacation. Dave and I joined my grandpa, his wife, and some of our other family members for a family vacation in Puerto Vallarta. ...

What I’m reading elsewhere on the internet: 1. What we can learn from Lady Gaga via Daily Speculations (and what Startups can learn from Gaga, from Leveraging Ideas) 2. The first three chapters from Hungry Monkey: A food-loving father’s quest to raise an adventurous eater. I’...

Merry Christmas and happy holidays, readers! Here’s your present: Just kidding. We’re being hit with what will come to be known as the 2009 Omaha Christmas Blizzard–it’s snowing over an inch per hour and they don’t expect it to let up until tomorrow afternoon. We had p...

Happy anniversary to my parents today! 24 years. I love you guys. Thank you for showing me what a happy couple is, what a good marriage looks like, and for being so understanding and loving with me and Matt...

Today I went all over town but I don’t have much to show for it. With my 2009 work done, I slept in until about 11 (bliss! just like old times!) and then met up with Professor Lasertron for lunch. ...

The other day, a box of croissants arrived in the mail from my mom. They are the BEST. They come frozen and tiny in a huge box, and you just let them thaw and rise overnight. Bake them in the morning and smell the hot, flaky French croissants throughout your house...

Saturday was the first day that I really felt well enough to be up and around, and we went to such a fun party that night at our friends Jon and Sarah’s. We drank, ate, talked, and mostly danced. It was good to see all of our friends. So many people were there packed into their cute little home! ...

I just finished my last order of 2009 and now I’m taking a break and enjoying the holidays! I saved all of my gift wrapping for after work was finished, so I could look forward to it and save it as a reward. I love wrapping gifts. ...

1. About half of the packages ordered this month went out on Monday, and the rest are going tomorrow with the generous help of Mr. Lasertron. (And I slipped on those stairs twice! Rude!) 2. My super cute friend Sarah’s new shopping/fashion blog, What I Really-Really Want. 3. ...
