Blog Post #4 - the Millennium Quiz

Blog entry #4

Welcome and thank you, thank you for returning to my blog. If you have recently become a follower let me say, thank you, thank you again.  I look to have 50+ followers by the end of this semester and so encourage you to pressure and coercive friends and family to….no, no, sorry sorry that was my pre pre-refuge taking self talking out loud.  He he

Here we go – new location same excitement better pastries. Yes, Starbucks has its conveniences, yes, I can get my coffee “made just the way I like it”, and yes, they know my name.                           It’s ok - I own it.                                                                                                                                                 But at least my world doesn’t “run on dunkin”.

But, viola, there is more to the world!                                                                                                           For wonderful patisseries and café drinks you just have go to La Petite France in West Hartford Center.   Yum yum yum – la petite raison, mini almond and chocolate croissants, éclairs, napoleons, and great fruit tarts.  My favorite is the pear and almond paste tart with, of course, a rich smooth delicious Café Americano. I’m on my second but it is a Sunday afternoon and a treat to be here.        Seriously, no trick.                                                                                                                                              Ok, I’m cutting myself off for making a pun post.

Ok, again, new paradigm – I see Social Media as having the capacity to have a life of its own; if you see value in what I am sharing you will share it with others. Right?

In another past life I was a unit manager for a Colgate-Palmolive Co. named Princess House. 100% commission with a 5% override on what your team sold.  On a good night or weekend you helped the hostess: prepare spiked sherbet punch, have fun with family and friends, and receive $300.00 (in 1980’s dollars) in free beautiful crystal products.  Other times, I helped new distributors do the same thing for their hostess.

My point, yes, there is one to the story so stay with me please. At first, to be a successful distributor, it is your family and friends that get you started. I’m asking you to help me get my blog off and running by sharing my link - www.alcmst99.blogspot.com/.
Yes, it’s a Public Relations & Social Media 495 – Special Topics class for fall 2011 only – ya, ya.

I see how it can be more with your help.

Blog post #4 – The Millennium Quiz - http://pewresearch.org/millennials/quiz/

I scored an 86 out of a 100 which goes to show age is a state of mind.  I am sure many who know me would not be surprised  at my score as I am an absolute adolescent some days. lol. I'd say I missed a 100 due to my having read a newspaper in the last 24 hours. lol x 2

The demographics associated with the quiz were definitely interesting and easy to read. A great resource site.

Oh, did I mention that at La Petite France located at 967 Farmington Ave., in West Hartford you can get delicious, fresh breakfast and lunch options starting at $4.00?

Oh, and the window treatment looks good enough to eat.

Speaking of Halloween – it is written that the veil is at its thinnest on the eve of October 31^st, All Hollowed Eve, and a time to commune with and commemorate your ancestors.  So don’t forget to have a candy bar for Gramps.  I know I won’t.
