Hey there–sorry I’ve been gone for a while. I went on vacation last week (well, it was helping people move across country, but when you have no income, that counts as vacation), and before that I was trying to get my act together and get a little bit of writing/submitting done. I’m coming up on [...]

One feature I think I’ll still continue to comment on is The O List. I know I probably get a little snarky about it, but since I don’t have much money, it makes me feel better to say, “You paid how much for that???” However, I’m sure that if I had Oprah’s money, [...]

Now that the economy’s heading south again, I wonder if The O List feature will change at all. Actually, I can look through other issues and see if it did during the Internet bust. Though I think this time is different–at least with the last bust, you could get equity out of your [...]
Thankful for Nice Things

There are days when I can’t comprehend how much money Oprah must have. I understand rich, but I can’t wrap my brain around the uber-rich. I wonder what it’s like to have so much, and I wonder if you fear losing it all. And by “losing it all,” I mean doing a lot of shopping. [...]

Thank goodness for The O List to take all the heaviness away! I’ve skipped over a few articles I thought about mentioning–a Sally Field essay where she talks about career transitions and being afraid and sometimes you just have to take that first little step, and the rest kind of works itself out.
I also [...]

Buy Me!

If you run a business, getting the Oprah Seal of Approval can mean you hit the jackpot. People go crazy and buy whatever she says, and sometimes I don’t understand how a regular person can spend money like Oprah can spend money. Oprah can spend a lot of money–she earns a lot. Me? Not so [...]
