File system

Some days I feel like my life is a giant pile of papers! I can’t believe how much paper comes into my house. So a couple of weeks ago, Teal and I took, what I like to call, a paper management class. And so far, it has helped eliminate the stacks and […]

It’s a brand new day!

It is April 9, 2008 and in a sense, this is the first day of the rest of my life. Sorry for the tinge of drama, but as you get to know me, you will discover that is “ME.”
I have decided to change my life starting RIGHT NOW and what better way then to […]
