April 2012: Editor's Note - My Editor's Note Has Attention Deficit Disorder

Author: Maggie | Photographer: Photography by Anne

I cannot for the life of me think about ONE THING to write about this month. It’s like I have dozens of little half-thoughts in my brain, but none of them warrant 300 words. I think I have Spring fever.

Here’s what an Editor’s Note that has ADD looks like.

I just read this article about how working more than forty hours a week is useless, because after that, you become unproductive. How many hours do I work a week? Am I being unproductive now? Maybe the woman that wrote that article was just lazy.

I saw a large black snake crush a baby mouse and eat him while I talked to a client on the phone on Monday. If I hadn’t been on the phone I would have run outside to save that poor mouse. Now I think about it every time I look out my office window.

Forgot to order my RBC Heritage tickets from Angela. I need to do that now. What am I going to wear to the Heritage this year? Oh yeah, plaid.

Photo shoot tonight with 20 babies and toddlers and their moms. I wonder how many people will fit into Anne’s studio. Where is everyone going to park? I should bring wine. I’m going to need it.

My friend Anthony is always giving me a hard time about never talking about him in my Editor’s Note. I love him and all, but it doesn’t warrant a whole Editor’s Note. Hi Anthony.

I hope Wing Fest doesn’t get rained out tomorrow. It’s not looking good – better check the weather-again.

A lot of shake-up in the NFL this week; Tebow to the Jets, Peyton to the Broncos – the Saints aren’t so saintly after all. I can’t wait ‘til football starts again.

Mad Men starts Sunday! I wish Don Draper worked in this office.

Rick Santorum is gaining momentum. I wonder if Vegas has odds on who will win the GOP nomination.

Should I watch The Hunger Games this weekend or read the book first? The movie always disappoints if you read the book first. Better to do it the other way around.

If I snuck out my office window, I wonder how long it would take before someone noticed…

Better not. That snake might get me.

About Us

In September of 2006, Celebrate Hilton Head (CH2) burst onto the scene with a fresh perspective on Hilton Head Island, Bluffton and the surrounding Low Country. At the helm was a team of young women (all under 30!) with no experience whatsoever in the publishing industry. The first year they made up the rules as they went along. CH2 (and CB2 – Celebrate Bluffton and Beyond), has evolved into a well-respected publication with over 150 advertisers and a distribution to over 47,000 locals and visitors each month.

Content ranges from Interesting Islander profiles and arts and entertainment pieces to food and wine topics and Hilton Head and Bluffton Business Profiles. CH2’s Bachelor of the Year Contest has blossomed into a greatly anticipated media event every year with viral marketing (i.e., Facebook, Twitter) contributing to the annual readership of those issues pertaining to the contest and over 700 people attending the Bachelor of the Year party held every October held at a local Hilton Head or Bluffton entertainment spot.

CH2 strives to give back to the community in which they have been so successful by sponsoring charitable events in both Hilton Head Island and Bluffton (Bluffton’s MayFest, put on by the Bluffton Rotary), donating editorial space to worthy organizations (Bold Strokes, Volunteers in Medicine, March of Dimes), and making the Hilton Head Island Rec Center the recipient of monies raised in conjunction with the Bachelor of the Year Contest.
