About Me

apriley: I'm in my 30's, married, with a feisty toddler to keep me on my toes. Been in the advertising business for about a decade, and it's still good. I'd like to think that I'll make a difference, but so does every blogger right? As long as we all got a voice and the internet at our disposal, things are bound to get wilder. Let's just enjoy the ride.
