Hi, I'm Margie Newman. I blog about public relations, social media, careers, productivity and geek stuff.

Starting over again, again

Just when I figured out how to maneuver these waters, I am off to chart a new course over here.

I am excited. I am sad. I am nervous and I am confident that this is the right decision.

Wish me luck!

Geek watching

So, me and my hubby packed our bags and jumped a flight to Austin, TX. We are sitting on a floor blogging and taking photos, respectively, at day two of South by Southwest (SXSW).

Most folks here have odd colored hair, some version of a Mac and an orange lanyard.

They hoard power outlets and they wait in hour-long lines for coffee. Some of them have not bathed in a while.

Oddly enough, I have spotted seven men wearing kilts. One is standing above me now, in fact. Also, I am apparently sitting next to some famous Swedish gal.

People keep looking at me funny — Dave says it is because I look normal and have a natural hair color.

At any rate, this place is cool. The food is fabulous, there are tortilla chips everywhere and I just bought a pair of bright blue shoes.  And really, what more does a girl need on vacation?

Tonight, I’m clean’n out my closet

Did you know that the third week in March is “Clean Out Your Closet Week”? That’s right. Get out your Keep, Dump, and Donate boxes and get to work!

You can read up on closet organizing tips and tricks here.

Happy cleaning!
