Yes, Yes, I know, I am the WORST blogger (I’m going to try to be good…) I am chatting with my new best friend Cathy Hazzlerigg and we were talking about using iGoogle and Google Word Alerts. In showing her how to use it, I put in “Sandy Shepard”…and guess what! Someone is talking about my book! Wa-Hoo!!
More later. I have now sworn to be better at blogging 🙂
I am just such a ham! View From The Bay, our local San Francisco Bay-area show that’s on the Hour before Oprah, came to my house during a Clothing Swap that I was doing, as outlined in Chapter One of my book. (You have it, right? So you can just go check it out…right? (wink))
We had a BLAST, and all the clothing that wasn’t taken (which was thousands of dollars worth) went to a charity, Image for Success, that dresses women (and their families) with two weeks’ worth of business and personal clothing. Check it out!
OK who do you know that would have a Google Alert for “Granny Panties”? Um, that would be me…
And check out this faboo blog – no no, it’s not just faboo because they’re quoting my book (wink). It’s my new subscription in iGoogle!

Hey Grrls!
OK – I suck. Yes, it’s true, I know. I not only have a fantastic interview podcast that is still 1/2 edited, but I haven’t even posted in the blog. Bad me. Bad bad me.
As ya’ll know, I’ve been trying to replace my law firm income with SendOutCards. I have also been to 2 conventions (eWomenNetwork, and the SendOutCards convention), plus I was on ABC again (link, next blog). But it’s the first that’s really the culprit.
If you’re going to change the way that you make your $, sometimes, other things suffer. It wasn’t going to be my relationship with my James – so (pitiful sigh) it’s my relationship with ya’ll. Forgive me?
I am actually a little amazed to report that last month, my SOC income was more than my law firm income! Yes! People are so interested in this system. (If you don’t know what I’m talking about, go to YourCardShark.com and send a card on me – or listen to the podcast about it and then go try it out.)
AND – talk about Beach Money (again, go check out that last podcast…) we’re on our way to Hawaii, so I’m crammin’ in work so I can play!
I miss you guys, that’s the truth. I’ve gotten a number of emails and such – book is selling well, thanks – and the SendOutCards is going REALLY well!
I’m going to try to get out about 4 blog postings today, and then be as better-as-I-can when we get back from our holiday. But until then – I apologize, ya’ll rock, and keep it up! Don’t stop readin’ and listenin’ – I’d miss you!
Woo-hoo! Minna Yoo from LoveBottle.net was on View From The Bay this week talking about Green tips for under $20. Minna was one of our Bonus Interviews a month or so ago, and she gave more information on this subject. Yay Minna, for appearing on ABC!
My mom “Pranked” me with this and it really made me laugh today. Check it out!
Yay! Our View From The Bay episode (and my book) were mentioned in Sheila Kelley’s global “S” newsletter, read by all the coolest grrls in the world. If you haven’t seen it… hmmmm, whyzat? No, really…
OK just kiddin’ – here’s the link.
Besides, you just gotta LOVE the book that she’s covering… A Mind Of Its Own: A Cultural History of the Penis by David M. Friedman.
Thought I’d share a video from Yahoo of the Bond Girl for the new Bond film, Quantum of Solace, coming out on November 17th. As I’m busily trying to get things/businesses/pets/James (smile) ready for my imminent departure for Dallas, no pithy blogging here – just the link. Olga Kurylenko is Camille, training for her stunts in the movie. I just love video like this, the “behind the scenes” stuff. Have a look!
This is from the Femdefense website:
“Femdefence is an on-going project first presented in 2003. The project includes the creation of an imaginary product, which bears the project’s name. The product is a kind of protection against rape, somewhat similar to a tampon in that its user carries it inserted into her vagina. In it there is a sharp pin which has a penetrating effect on the perpetrator’s penis in the event of a rape. The construction is such that the pin cannot injure the bearer. The design is based on a similar construction invented by a Swedish woman named Anita Ingmarsdotter. She came to work on her invention after a series of rape cases in Sweden that received a lot of public attention. Typically, in many of these cases, the accused do not receive an adequate punishment, and the abused women are left without appropriate support from the judicial system. All too often they, in the perpetrators’ place, are burdened with guilt.”
Yee-owch…
