I'm just ditto'ing her. This totally started my day happy.

When I first starting writing this post I began writing every little detail and then I erased it all. I realized that every little detail wasn't important. The highlights on the other hand ( Read more... )

My first post in ages. I have others sitting in the computer at home awaiting editing and clarity. They may not be the same thing. But today I am sitting in a conference room, on a lunch break, debating about which toy I prefer to play with. My new bluetooth keyboard for my iPad2 or my new iPhone 4S.

The place is three beds, 2.5 baths ( Read more... )

As usual, I’m behind in posting and that isn’t going to change any time soon. Let me keep focused and announce the big news. I’m moving. To Birmingham, Alabama. I’ve accepted a position with Regions Bank as the VP for Fair Lending Risk Management for their Indirect Auto Loan division. (Indirect Auto loans are when you get your financing through the ( Read more... )

Isn’t that a song title? If it isn’t, it should be. It’s become the story of my life. It seems as though I can only get up on a Saturday if I have someone truly planned ( Read more... )

Beverly Beckham from the Boston Globe couldn't find the author of this year end wrap up but I liked it. So although I wasn't going to do a 2010 wrap-up, I thought this one was worth while ( Read more... )
