My 1st Blog-A-Thon!

I have never before participated in any sort of "blog-a-thon."  I currently haven't been posting much at all because my access to internet has been solely from my office computer.  Today's post is brought to you by a bicycle trip to campus and most likely a rainy trip back judging by the sky.



So I would like to say thank you to WordCount for their annual blogging event and whatever article they wrote (I now can't remember what it was) that lead me to their site and allowed me to find out about this blog-a-thon! 

Thanks to Michelle Rafter's post 25 ways to blog every day I have created a contingency plan for how I am going to write a blog every day this month!  So feel free to read below if you're interested and HOLD ME ACCOUNTABLE and make sure that I do this! 

WordCount 2011 Blog-a-thon Plan:
May 1st-1st Day/Contingency Plan
May 4th-Theme Day #1 "My top 5 favorite books on writing are..." I will actually most likely be skipping this in honor of "Wordless Wednesday" where I will be posting a photo on Wednesdays with few to no words.
May 10th-Blog-a-thon Haiku Day (I'm terrible at these but am determined to write one)
May 11th-Wordless Wednesday
May 16th-Guest post/exchange day
May 18th-Wordless Wednesday
May 24th- Theme Day #2 "My top 5 favorite places to write are..."
May 25th-Wordless Wednesday
May 30th-Wordle Day
May 31st-VICTORY POST!

This list includes all of the Events Calendar from Word Count and leaves me breathing a little easier with appoximately 1/3 of my posts planned already!  Here's hoping ideas for the other 21 posts will be just as easy as this plan was!

Wish me luck!

Your Blog: Resume Boost or Liability?

I have recently read two different blogs that have both touched on the same topic. How your blog affects your resume and/or job search. The first was an interview with Sasha Halima, one of my favorite bloggers, at PR Breakfast Club. You can read it here. The second is on Brand Yourself, Your Blog is Your Extended Resume . Brand Yourself argues just what the title says that a blog is an extended resume and that when a potential employer searches for you and finds a blog full of fabulous content, they'll hire you. And while I couldn't agree more that I AGONIZED over the fact that potential employers were most likely Googling me and getting results for some person in Seattle or a Blues Singer in New York the interview with Sasha Halima said something that also struck a chord with me. Your blog can be a "liability." That is the scariest word that any potential employer could ever say because, if you're a liability to them, odds are other potential employers

Julie & Julia

Today Megan (my cousin) took me to Julie & Julia (we got in free because she works there). It was a really good movie, which made me happy because I had heard some people hadn't liked it and thought it was a slow movie, but I loved it. If you haven't seen the movie the basic premise is that Julie (Powell, the author of the book the movie is based from) works her way through Julia (Childs, the world renowned cook) cookbook. She gives herself 365 days and there were 540-ish recipes in the cookbook. She then wrote a blog about it, which became really famous, she was offered book deals, etc. But the point of the movie was that she decided to do something, gave herself a deadline, accomplished it, and it changed her life. So, when I came home I was 1. Hungry (I can't watch food and not want to eat...its the reason I can't watch the food network) 2. Inspired...I decided to cook something...experimentally too. I made soup that I used canned chicken noodle soup and s
