It tastes good honey, it really does


As some might know, I recently got married. My new name is Jill Perlberg (married to Tom Perlberg). Well, we just got back from our honeymoon and decided to give one of our wedding gifts a try. We received a HUGE 4-burner Kenmore grill from Tommy's cousins.

So I put together some fantastic Chicken Kabobs (chicken, pineapple, onion, red pepper, green pepper, tomato) and got them ready for Tommy to cook. I headed out to the nail salon for a quick fill and told him I'd be back in 45 min.

Upon returning, Tommy asks, "Do you think the kabobs are done?", I didn't realize it was a rhetorical question. There on our brand new stainless steel grill were the most burnt pieces of chicken and veges I'd ever seen.

I guess the old saying that men will be nice and compliment a wife's cooking as she learns to be a good cook needs to be modified. Since Tommy and I have been together for over 7 years, we've had our share errible meals and joked about them, but I had to love that the first meal in marriage that totally sucked wasn't mine.

Needless to say, we ate jello for dinner!

Case Study in The Power of Social Media :It's All About Relationships

I recently participated in a case study without really knowing about it.  We hear so much about the power of social media, and we are equally asked what the results we see. This short case study will give you insight into the power of social media, but more importantly what your campaigns really need in order to convert into theh dollars or actions you are expecting. . Overview: An acquaintance from college posted a request on Facebook for blood donors.  A friend of hers -- a father of two young children-- was recently diagnosed with leukemia and is requiring numerous blood transfusions (specifically white blood cells and a certain blood type). I saw the post on Facebook and although my blood type didn't match, I thought how hard could it be to share the request with my network. "Sue" was a person I knew pretty well and I respected her.  I posted a request for blood donors (of the certain blood type) with some information about the person in need. My post gave a spec

Don't Treat Me Like a Doormat!

You work at home, but your neighbors who work out at an office see you as their personal assistants. Sound familiar? You're not alone. Jeffrey Zaslow of the WSJ recently covered the topic in, " At-Home Workers Say Enough is Enough ". According to Zaslow, "the assumption is that working at home means that you have the flexibility...at-homers are torn between their willingness to help and their resentment about the way their help is sought." From someone who has worked at home, I can tell you that the assumption about flexibility if WRONG. You know what I mean. We've all looked at the clock, realized it was 4:00 in the afternoon and couldn't believe we were still in our p.j.s? Our days fly by and all of the things you had planned to do are still waiting for you. I can see why the women featured in this story feel the way they do. They are "easy marks." Why couldn't they pick up the kids, run some errands, right? Read the rest on MyPath

My New Favorite Snack: Winky Gel Bites

Image
I'm on my quest to get back into shape to look great on my wedding day. Since I'm working a ton of hours and planning the final details of my wedding, eating healthy tends to be a struggle (there's just no time). So when I discover a great find, I just have to tell you about it. Everyone knows jello is low in calories and fat and overall a pretty good snack. My problem with jello: -I don't take the time to make it and use multiple Tupperware containers that will then have to be washed -The jello cups that you can purchase aren't enough sometimes and then I ended up eating 2-3. That gets expensive. My new solution: Winky's Gel Bites . At just $1.65/bag(which is resealable), you get three one-half cup servings of jello bites. They taste great, are convenient, and you can eat the whole bag for only 45 calories. And eating the whole bag won't be hard, I'm eating them as I write. For those on Weight Watchers, that's only 1 point. Check t
