Just in the nick of time my good friends, Friday has arrived on the scene.

And not just any Friday, but a Friday leading us into a three day holiday weekend.  YES!

I work hard, just as you do, and I also take a lot of pride in the work I do.  But at the end of the day, work is work and everybody needs a break from it.  I am not one of those people who subscribe to the idea that if I put in long hours at the desk or computer I will get more accomplished.  To me, … Read More

Something as simple as the day of the week can make me happy. I didn’t even work five days this week because Washington, DC got so much snow on Monday that the federal government shut down, the buses weren’t running and just like that, I had the day off.

I hope your weekend was a good one and that you had a chance to relax and renew yourself. My weekends always seem to fly by and just when I’m feeling as though I have totally brought myself down from the workweek, it’s time to begin a new one. It’s okay though; I selfishly wring every minute of down time out of the weekend that I can.  Even if I am grocery shopping or running other errands, I try to enjoy the outdoors and reduce the pressure to get everything done in record time! I try to unplug myself, even… Read More

I am deleting all of the songs on my iPod and starting over. Here is a blast of a song from the ’80’s that I will be adding to my new song list. I don’t know what happened to Lisa Stansfield but I always turn up the volume when I hear this song: I hope you are having a great weekend!… Read More
