Today being Friday, I think we deserve to listen to an outstanding song to celebrate its arrival.

You may know the song Hold On from the fabulous and hysterical movie, Bridesmaids.

In the movie, Hold On is performed by Wilson Phillips, the original group which cut the record in 1990, and we watch as they sing their classic harmony and then we see the uber-talented actresses/writers/entertainers Maya Rudolph and Kristin Wiig lipsynch the words to the song and dance along to its catchy beat.

My Labor Day weekend was productive and I hope yours was too! I only wish it had been longer. . . I had lunch with a great friend, visited with one of my sisters and then later went home and decided that I needed to declutter.  I started with the book shelves and was ruthless.  I found about 40 books that I didn’t need in my life and packed them up to donate to a good cause.  I also went through another box of papers belonging to my husband and I will write all about that in a future post.… Read More
