All went fantastic!  With only a week and a half notice, it really did turn out to be a fantastic day.  It was an absolutely perfect day.  The happy couple were, in fact, HAPPY.  But can I dare say. . . . I’M exhausted!I need a vacation day just to recover.  I’m not sure when [...]

While usually I’m a pretty low stress type female individual, these past couple of weeks have been shocking to my delicate system. Why am I so stressed out? I don’t GET stressed out. THAT’S stressing me out. Seriously. I spent way too much time in the 80’s stressing about every [...]

Yes, it’s true. We women DO have one flaw. But only the one.
This has made its rounds through emails for years, but I have a couple of friends specifically who need to be reminded of this fatal flaw. I’m not going to name names. They know who they are.

Since my return from the Land of the Lost, I’m unstoppable! The stars got back into line, I reckon. I’m feeling more like the old me again. (And I DO mean OLD – more on that later in the week)

Technology is absolutely amazing! And as much as I try to keep up and stay current with software and such, I feel I’m failing miserably. I need to go back to school or something to catch up because whatever is able to do THIS is really something.

How in the world is this done? [...]

Well, I hope everyone had a fantastic 4th of July holiday!  I, personally, took a vacation day on Thursday to pre-empt the already three-day weekend to stretch it to four.  I rarely take vacation days, especially on the eve of a holiday.  (That’s when disasters most likely strike in my business)  But I braved it, [...]
