HRA 326: Wrap-up

February 22, 2012That's all for today!

Why is it, when you visit a tropical island such as Hawaii, everyone asks you why you don't have a tan when you come back?! While we have no tan, we did have fun sightseeing with family, eating at new restaurants, and barhopping. Now we're back in the real world trying to catch up on all that work we swore we'd get to while on vacation ;)


Next "trip" will be NYC for the SES conference March 19?23. Looking forward to it!


Meanwhile, I'll catch you here in 2 weeks! ? Jill

HRA 324: Wrap-up

January 25, 2012That's all for today!

We got Tim back to Brown this weekend after about a month's break. I wish I could say that it's a lot quieter and neater around here, but he's actually very quiet and fairly neat anyway, so we don't notice much difference in that respect. Different story entirely when Corie is visiting :) And Jamie mainly hoards her mess in the cellar where she dwells. As long as we don't have to go down there for anything, it's not too bad.

My husband, Don, and Jamie will be coming with me to Honolulu for PubCon in a few weeks, which we're all looking forward to. Although winter hasn't been too bad (so far) this year, it will still be nice to get away to warmer climes.

October 19, 2011That's all for today!

Wondering where the reference to exercise in today's article came from? Well, after a good 5 years of avoiding joining the gym with my husband, I finally agreed to sign up. He had been going with our son, Tim, but with Tim off to college, my husband was back on his own. And honestly, I did realize I need to get off my ass more often too, so I figured what the heck. If I had to go alone, I'd likely keep putting it off. But since my husband is already in the routine, I kinda have no choice! So far, so good. I'm just doing things like the elliptical machine and I can read or watch Netflix shows on my iPad while there, so it's not too bad.

In addition, in my quest to find some new and interesting things to do that don't involve SEO (or drinking ;), I also signed up for improv classes at our local adult ed program! The first class is next week, so I'll let you know how it goes in the next newsletter.

I don't have time for much of a wrap-up today due to watching my real-time analytics and playing on Facebook and Twitter while I was supposed to be writing this...sorry! And as I write this, it's nearly time for me to run out to this week's SEMNE event (I guess I'd better hop in the shower!). More next time.

HRA 315: Wrap-up

September 21, 2011That's all for today!

Things have been pretty quiet so not much to report this week. I did have a nice dinner out in NYC last week and met up with a bunch of old SEO friends at SMX East. Other than that it's been mainly same-old same-old.

Speaking of which, I'm always looking to meet up with other Internet marketers. If you're ever near the Framingham, MA area and want to meet up for lunch or a drink or something, let me know. It gets a bit boring working from home all by my lonesome these days. Maybe we could plan a High Rankings Advisor meet-up!

Hope you enjoyed the long weekend (if you had one). We dropped Tim off at Brown University for his freshman year on Saturday. He sounds like he's settling in nicely and already managed to test out of a biology course that he studied all summer long! So far we don't notice the lack of his presence too much in the house. We'll notice more on Saturday and Sunday nights when he usually joined us out for dinner. He's not far, because Providence is less than an hour away, so if he's up for it in the future we might take a road trip now and then and get some decent food into him :)

Not much else going on. In fact, it's been fairly boring around here. Not sure if it's just the end-of-the-summer blues or me being bored with SEO and my typical routine, or some combo of both. I haven't traveled recently, so that could be part of it as well. I did manage to secure a speaking slot at Pubcon Honolulu in February, though! Definitely looking forward to that. I'm also scheduled to speak at InternetSummit in November, but I don't have many details on that yet. We're also looking for something interesting to do for Thanksgiving. Perhaps New Orleans?

August 24, 2011That's all for today!

On the home front, our son Tim has less than two weeks until he heads off to his first semester at Brown University. Needless to say, he's pretty excited. (Can't imagine why he'd be so anxious to get out of our crazy house :) And our oldest daughter, Corie, just got a new job in Houston (where she's been living for the past year), which she is also excited about. She is now the Political Director at a new organization called "Alliance For Self-Governance." Middle child Jamie remains home as a cellar-dweller, just to be sure we don't show any signs of Empty Nest Syndrome ;)

The summer seems pretty quiet workwise, which is fine with me. I've purposely taken on limited work so I have time to catch up and also just enjoy the nice weather. I'm also only taking on the type of work I enjoy the most, which is mainly high-level SEO consulting and training. In fact, I've got an in-house SEO training day scheduled for a client next week that I'm looking forward to.

All is fairly quiet on the home front, too. Which is also a good thing. It is hard to believe that my son Tim will be on his way to Brown in just a few weeks. Apparently quiet, the summer is going by quickly!

I've still got Google+ invites if anyone wants one. Just let me know the email address you want to invite and I'll send one over to you. The more people on board there, the more we can see if it's a worthwhile online hangout! I'm still debating it.

Meanwhile, my ears are still somewhat blocked, although not quite as badly as before. Even worse is that Tim has caught the virus and now his ears are blocked also. I hope that his get better more quickly than mine because he depends on his ears even more than the average person since he has low vision.

Anyone taking a fun vacation? It seems that out-of-office replies have been rampant lately. We have no major plans at the moment. Our 28th anniversary is coming up this Sunday, and as far as I know, we don't even have plans for that!
