Thoughts on: Staying Classy

So, Carol Bartz, ex-CEO of Yahoo, was apparently unceremoniously fired earlier this week by Chairman Roy Bostock. Over the phone. In an interview with Fortune, Bartz says she told Bostock about his method for firing her, "I thought you were classier."

If you read that interview with Fortune, you'll note Bartz takes an almost belligerent tone, blames everyone but herself, and even drops the f-bomb.

I'm not sure Bartz's post-firing behavior puts her in a position to criticize someone else's class. Perhaps it doesn't mean what she thinks it means.

Thoughts on: Stupid Retailers

The Internet discovered that retailer JC Penney was selling a girls' shirt emblazoned with, "I'm too pretty to do homework so my brother has to do it for me."



Really? REALLY?

My thoughts are pretty much the same as everyone else on the Internet. But I'm mostly wondering what was JC Penney thinking?!?

Thoughts on: Hot What?

So, it's a new year and we all know what that means!


*crickets*


Another try at the whole "I'ma be fit" thing! Duh.

I'm using SparkPeople, again. I've tried Livestrong and actually preferred it to SparkPeople, but neither has an Android app and SparkPeople is giving away prizes, so...

But I'm not sure if I'll be able to consistently track my nutrition with SparkPeople if when I search for "hot chocolate," it responds with this:


Um...hot dog buns? Chocolate chip cookies? What?
