Zagat’s Does Fast Food?
Ok, I will freely admit it.
I am a fast food snob.
Ever since my daughter brought home the book “Fast Food Nation” several years ago and I read it (twice!), I have oh-so-rarely stepped into a fast food joint. I would say “never” but there are those rare occasions when I will deign to buy the Chicken Bacon Ranch salad from McDonalds.
Knowing how the fast food industry has basically created...

So Why Am I Still Interviewing?
I have a plan.
I have an information product, a website selling it, AND two other websites (including this one).

So why did I interview for a job the other day?
Not only a job-job, but a job working for yet another Philadelphia nonprofit in yet another dysfunctional environment at, dare I...

This blog will chronicle my recovery, using my self-designed 2 Habits a Week program. Read along as I strive to become a successful Internet Marketer/entrepreneur, a better mother and human being, and achieve the best body of my life (not necessarily in that order).
