Multi-tasking: The Key to the Crown and Scepter

The ability to multi-task is definitely key to maintaining my status as a Queen Bee. Throughout my day at work, I manage to fulfill my job responsibilities, while:
  • Keeping updated on the world by listening to NPR on my computer, thereby insuring that I am able to speak intelligently about current events;
  • Keep track of my 3 email accounts - so I don't miss any great gossip, or last minute meetings, or long lost friends;
  • Blog - which helps clear the cobwebs and get thoughts somewhere other than the cramped space in my head;
  • Telephone calls and texting - to manage my family's affairs and keep in touch with those unfettered by cubicles
  • Browsing the internet - this is how I used to shop, but is also how I schedule my sessions at Dream Dinners, keep our accounts current (virtually all our bills are paid electronically), and find out about up and coming trends.
Some environments are more suited for multi-tasking than others. For instance, Fellow Queen Bees, when you have small children, it is much more difficult to do ANY and EVERYTHING while you are also supposed to be paying attention to them.

White Chocolate Banana Bread Pudding

OKAY, I went to this restaurant in DC, Busboys and Poets, and they served this delectable bread pudding that was made with white chocolate and banana bread, two of my most favorite things. I found a recipe for it, and I made it in the slow cooker last night, and it was heaven! I did some substitutions to make it a little more healthy, but in general, this is a sinful treat.

What is your hidden...or not so hidden...talent?

I recently made a sh*tload of cufflinks for a friend's wedding. They were awsum...if I say so myself. I have played with the idea of making jewelry as a side hustle for sometime, but the small parts on women's jewelry made it hard to work on with my two year old playing nearby, distracting me, and causing me to overbend many a 14k jump ring.
