A few months ago, I unfortunately fell out of the habit of updating this blog.  But with the end of the year in sight, I think it’s worth it to try and pick back up.

And what better way to celebrate my return than by posting an old-fashioned mousetrap that rivals Mousesnaps for being the most interesting thing to kill a mouse.

That is pretty cool, no?

I can’t believe I’m doing this…

Mousesnaps Mousetraps on TrendHunter.com

After returning home from my second capoeira class (which didn’t go all that bad, thank you) I got a very disturbing email from a coworker about someone who is making snap traps in boxes.  Well how cutesy cute.  What’s even more alarming -  they were on TrendHunter.com, which isn’t such a big deal except that the last time I checked, I was the reigning mousetrap PR princess.

So I responded as any reasonable person in need of a shower at midnight would – I wrote my own post on TrendHunter.com about Mousesnaps and our adorable hand-painted mousetraps.  And then I posted that article on Facebook and Twitter.  And now I’m writing a blog post about it. 

Or in other words, I really lost my shit about it.

For example, I also wrote to my coworker and said, “First of all, THANK YOU FOR THE TIP.”  And then I proceeded to point out that anyone can submit a trend to the site and plastered Mousesnaps all over the place just to prove it.  For my grand finale, I called the other girl names and then debated myself about whether or not her traps would actually work.  Based entirely on a low-resolution image available online – I have decided that they will NOT. 

As you’re reading this, you may think that I sound like a real lunatic.  And don’t worry, I thought the same thing about halfway through!  I even wrote to my co-worker “As I’m rereading this message (God forbid there’s a typo, that would be embarrassing!), I’m realizing that I should have followed the “First of all” up with “I’m a real nut job and that’ll be the last time anyone underestimates the amount of time I have on my crazy hands.”

But I’m not sure anyone underestimated that in the first place.  Afterall, I’ve spent the better part of the year painting mousetraps, reading business textbooks, learning how to swim, PLAYING DODGEBALL, and dabbling in online dating.

Something tells me people have been thinking I’ve been obviously bored since January.



Get with it Girls.

While browsing in Barnes & Noble on Saturday, I happened to notice this:

girlsbiz

Normally, I’d make a big thing about how someone could write a business start-up guide specifically for ”girls”  and how exactly that guide could be any different than that written for general audiences (which, last time I checked, included women…  or girls, if you will).  I’d also point out that the title is grammatically incorrect and then get really snarky and say that that if you’re going to put two business girls on the cover, they could at least be a little more stylish.

But I don’t have time to build all that out.

Instead, I just want to remind everyone that it is, in fact, 2009 and I think everyone should just get on board with that.



Capoeira: Not quite as bad as Dodgeball

A few months back, I conducted a poll about whether capoeira was a good or bad idea.

Most people suggested that I just try it.

But one person said it was the “worst idea ever.”

First of all, thanks for the hate. 

Second, I took a class in it tonight and I hate to admit it, but you’re probably right.

I’m going to give myself at least another week to prove you wrong.



Oh Match.com

When Match.com says that they guarantee you’ll meet someone special in 6 months, I don’t doubt it.

I just think they should define “special.”
