I can't remember if I mentioned here that my mom and I were going to Savannah for my birthday weekend, but that just happened. It was really nice. Savannah is a pretty little city, and it was great to have some time to spend with Mom. But horrible timing; work is crazy, and I'd been working 11-12 hour days for the past two weeks (including weekends ( Read more... )

I believe I have been in the office all but one day since March 28th or so. And most of those days, including the weekends, I've been there past 10pm. So, pretty much every waking hour. I'm leaving on Thursday for a long weekend in Savannah with my mom, but things are so crazy that I almost don't want to go... I'm going to do my best to relax for ( Read more... )

I was just looking back for an old post and could not find it, but I did find this blast from the past and it made me laugh.

And he said "I've always wanted to test drive a Mini! Reserve ( Read more... )

EMAIL OF THE DAY
