Time to Brag about Shannon

I’ve posted a lot of exciting news about Brian & Andrea and Dawn and Chris lately, so it’s time to brag about Shannon. Shannon has accepted a new position as a publicist with a firm in Dover, New Hampshire. Bisson Barcelona is a national publicity firm that specializes in high visibility campaigns and integrated marketing strategies for Authors, Business Professionals and Companies. Even her boss at the Women’s Business Center told Shannon that this was a fabulous career move for her (of course she tried to counter-offer first).

We’re really proud of you, Shay!

What a Great Night!!!

As you all may know I just recently turned the big two one (A.K.A DRUNK) haha just kidding dad! To celebrate this wonderful occasion my wonderful cousin Shannon came out to celebrate with me and a couple of my friends down at some of the ISU bars. She felt right at home. Basically I’m just posting this to say that not only do I wish all of you could have joined us but also to thank Shannon soooo very much for driving down to celebrate a birthday I’ll never be able to remember.

To Pod or Not to Pod… that is the question.

Are IPods really the way to go? I was in Best Buy last weekend looking for a set of replacement headphones for Brandon’s IPod Shuffle. The only ones (that were Apple certified and that matched the original ones) were sold with a useless remote control and were priced at $45. I was highly annoyed that I couldn’t find the replacement headphones sold by themselves. It was at this moment when I realized that I had become a victim of marketing. It never even occured to me that there may be other options out there for MP3 players. So, I began to look around. I noticed several on the market and all at significantly lower prices than IPod. So what’s so special about these fruity little devices anyway? Why should I give them my money?

While Larry makes Martinis, Shannon makes Headlines

Larry, that’s not to say that I’m not impressed with your feat. Oh, and watch the thumb comments, eh? 🙂

Since Larry has already made his big headlines in the corporate world, I figure that I should start making mine if I want to retire and make martinis anytime soon! I don’t have the time to post the picture here… well, I’ll give it a shot. But anyway, check out the article in all it’s glory by visiting http://www.seacoastonline.com/news/10232005/business/69484.htm.

Okay, now for the picture thing… here goes nothing.

Yeah, I tried the picture thing and it didn’t work. Oh well, you’ll see it on the website. I hope all is well with everyone! (I fixed it for you – UL)

That didn’t hurt a bit!

Hello All!

I’m amazed at how easy registering was (once I received a bit more direction from Larry).

Larry and Gary, great job! You are absolutely right… this will be a great way to keep up with everyone’s life!

I’m suddenly finding myself without a whole lot to say… let’s see….

Well, I recently finished putting on a 200+ person event for work (last Monday) that went over really well. Or at least that’s what they’re telling me. Things were completely changed at the last minute (there is a major difference between a room being 51 x 59 and actually being 41 x 49 when you are setting up a trade show. BUT, while things were insane behind the scenes, the public thought that it was the best show yet (it was our third show and the first one that I’ve run). The Governor came (if I master the picture posting I’ll put one up of him and I) and I mentioned that Lisman has worked at Knoll forever (Governor Lynch is/was the CEO of Knoll). He began asking me a series of questions that I couldn’t possibly answer (what department, what location , how long has she been there, etc.) and I proceeded to smile and say, “I will find the answers to those questions as soon as my family’s blog is set up.” Okay, I didn’t actually say that, but I’m sure I’ll get my answers nonetheless.

Many of you met Brandon while we were in Chicago. I am currently planning his surprise birthday party (Chris, Nick and Mom you inspired me) which will take place on “Stevie Ditka’s” birthday (next Saturday). So far so good… he doesn’t seem to have a clue. Actually, I need to call his father because he’s planning on heading up to Freeport, ME to visit with his dad that evening. Something tells me that not having the guest of honor present that night would really throw a monkey wrench into the whole surprise party thing.

Well, it is sunny and 65 degrees in northern New England and the leaves are starting to turn. It is too beautiful to be inside any longer, so I will venture into the great outdoors. Much thanks to Larry and Gary for taking time to make this happen!
