The Daily Krier

I had a surprisingly pleasant experience today when returning something to a local hardware store.  My husband and I had purchased 5 sets of white net lights for the bushes outside our front living room window. When putting them outside one of the sets didn’t work and, unfortunately, I had thrown the receipt away already. [...]

Like many, many people out there, I was at the stores at 6 am looking for deals on the presents I need to buy for Christmas.   Thankfully I was home 3 hours later, although there are still many gifts on my list.  Just a short time ago I pulled up the Journal Sentinel site to [...]

I was having an interesting conversation with my brother-in-law last night.  He’s very techie and whenever I have a technical question he’s who I turn to. Anyway, we were talking about social media and what kind of aggregator I use.  I was saying that I use HootSuite for Twitter and ping.fm for everything else.  He [...]

I’ve decided to get back into the swing of blogging regularly. I know the benefits it provides to my personal brand, to readership, etc., yet I’ve been finding it challenging to find the time and the topics.  Yes, there are lots of things I could blog on but as I think about how this blog impacts my [...]

I attended the Social Recruiting Summit in NYC this past Monday.  No, I’m not a recruiter but the company I work for is in the recruiting business and we were sponsoring the Summit.  As with everything related to social media, there were people there who were new to it and others who have been doing [...]

I’m heading to a conference in Tampa next week and made the hotel reservations at the Saddlebrook Resort for myself and a colleague online yesterday, using the link directly to the hotel’s website as provided on the conference website.  I quickly and easily booked the rooms and continued my day.  This morning I received a [...]

I’m in need of ordering t-shirts for an upcoming event, and I recently received a catalog from a company that sells personalized clothing, stuff that you can embroider or silkscreen.  Now I have never worked with this company before but they were referred to me by a reputable source.  In fact, the person referring them [...]

I ordered these fabulous croco pumps in purple a few weeks ago, not sure if they would work out or not but I felt fairly confident after all the positive reviews I read.  Well the shoes arrived and they not only fit and are comfortable but they are truly fabulous!  I’ve worn them several times [...]

It’s Monday night which means Monday Night Football, and tonight’s game is especially interesting for those of us here in Wisconsin. Unless you’ve been living under a rock (or aren’t a football fan) it’s the first meeting this season of the Packers and Vikings.  It’s always a heated rivalry but this week even moreso as [...]

My dad is relatively new to social media but has (sort of) embraced it. He’s on Twitter (but doesn’t Tweet that often) and Facebook and while having lunch with him today and hearing him talk about the barbershop group he’s a member of, I suggested that he start a fan page.  After explaining what that [...]
