Good week, good times, New York Times
Last week was a pretty good week. My week started off with an email from a New York Times reporter wanted to interview regarding a post I wrote about Amazon’s frustration free packaging. Once I picked myself up off the floor, I emailed him back and told him it was okay to call. I had a great conversation with their technology reporter, and I went on my merry way. Seriously, my heart was beating about 400 miles an hour while this was going on. I asked for him to let me know when it gets printed, and I thought that was the end of it.
On Thursday, I was super surprised to get a call from the New York Times again! This time they wanted to send a photographer to my house to get pictures of me and my kids! I ended up with 2 hours to get me and the kids ready and clean the house. It went well, I think, and I hope to find out soon when the article will get printed.
I feel incredibly blessed right now even though my mom is teasing about when Oprah is going to be calling.
Loving my Sun Times
I blogged recently on Lisa Reviews about how much I can’t stand the Chicago Tribune. Yes, my favorite paper since I moved down here has made me cancel my subscription. I know, hard to believe. I have been through many, many, many changes to the look of the paper. However, this last one I cannot stand. It drives me nuts to the point that I swear its giving me acne. I can’t find the sections that I like. I swear there is less content. Some of pages look like a blog page which would be fine if I was looking at a blog. However, I read the newspaper for more content not less. My husband has always wanted me to subscribe to the Chicago Sun Times, so I finally did. Today, our first paper came, and I loved it! Their articles had real content and weren’t just all pictures. I could easily find what I was looking for. I only have two complaints. I am not sure how I am going to share the paper with Bill. We tend to read it at the same time. The other problem I see is that I get less coupons. However, the Chicago Sun Times is a third of the cost of the Tribune, so at least I am saving money there. If I remember, I’ll just ask my mom to keep her coupons, and I’ll go through them when we go up to Green Bay.
