Dressing Up My Blog for Halloween

Call me a party pooper, but I have never been into Halloween. In fact, the last time I donned a costume on October 31st was back in middle school. I was tempted to go all out this year — dress in a slutty outfit (because when else can I dress like a streetwalker and not be judged?), crash multiple parties, and drink myself to oblivion. However, lack of planning on my part and total exhaustion from the past week has me rooting for a quiet night in instead. So since I will not be dressing up this All Hallows' Eve, I have decided to dress up my digital persona instead. Then I asked myself: why not take it a step further and dress up...

Trolls and Naysayers

I have been blogging for eight years. I have had moderate readership at my first blog, gained immense exposure through Weddingbee, and am starting to get a small but devoted following here at Geek in Heels. Needless to say, I am no stranger to internet trolls. I have received my fair share of personal attacks and snarky comments over the years. You would think that I've gotten used to it by now. ...

Bees I’ve Met in Real Life

Just in case you weren't aware, I blog for a website called Weddingbee. I am not as active as I used to be, as my wedding was a year and a half ago. However, I still visit the site all the time to cherish and cultivate all the wonderful friendships I have made with my fellow bloggers.

A few of the bees and I were talking about how strange it is that we can all be in a room full of people we've only conversed with over the web and still feel the incredible amount of solidarity and kinship that we always experience...

Tater Tot Baby Blog

I was planning to continue writing about Tater Tot here, or even perhaps create a subdomain for it. However, J was insistent on creating a separate blog devoted entirely to our little one. I finished it last night (stupid WordPress!) and it is now live at http://www.tatertotlau.com. The new blog will feature three writers: Tater Tot, Mommy, and Daddy. Please go say hi! P.S. - I will continue to write about my pregnancy on this blog, but sparingly. ...

Major Apologies!

I've made a huge, significant boo-boo. Remember the winner of the tagline contest? Well, I had compiled the list of entries incorrectly. While I admit that I've had a major case of Pregnancy Brain this past week, that is no valid excuse. I have no one to blame but myself. The winner of the tagline contest is Jen, not Sara. I extend my upmost apologies to both ladies. Please forgive me! Jen will be receiving the prizes, and I will think of something to gift to Sara as well as a small way to express my regrets. Lastly, I am sorry to all my readers. I promise the next contest/giveaway will be better organized (and I'll get J, the dog, and Tater Tot to make sure...
