Started in the Bay Area. Been working in PR for 11 years -- enterprise and consumer tech -- and have lived in a rural town in Idaho since 1998. By day I live the scrambled and fast-paced life of a comms consultant with a firm in Silicon Valley. The rest of the time I'm just a flip flop-wearin' wife and mom to two kids in a town where you have to hunt down the rare wireless connection, the only highway is two lanes, and the post office workers know me by name.

Lotso Sleep in Seattle


Went to Seattle last weekend for a sorority sister’s wedding. We left the kids at home with Grandma & Grandpa (bless their energetic hearts). I haven’t slept so much, and so soundly in months. Four day weekend for us, two of those days I slept until at least nine. Of course, I came back to 1,000+ emails to weed through (only about.05% being spam, mind you). Those evenings preparing and catching up were well worth the “freedom.”

We did do more than sleep… Hanging out with my girlfriends in Seattle was a definite treat. The rundown on my pals? Two stay-at-home moms, one with another tot on the way. One now married product manager at MSFT. One contract PR peep at Y! with a bun in the oven. One very successful sales maven with RR Donnelly. One nurse admin. One practicing nurse with chicken tenderloins that make every man swoon (long story). One interior designer. Finally, one marketing peep at Specialized that is living in sin. What a lot.
