Let's see... how long has it been since I've had to study for a test?  Got licensed to sell insurance in the mid 90's (which meant 2 separate very stressful tests).  I passed both tests the first time.  However... I was younger & had more brain cells then.  I have since let those licenses lapse... because homey don't play dat anymore.  I'll leave that business to my husband thank-you-very-much. 

TGIF... and the weekend is upon us.  It will be a weekend full of lots of Zumba + a crazy girl's night in between.  It's kinda my favorite kind of weekend.  The only thing better might be a crazy girl's weekend... like out of town... but I'll take what I can get for now.

Saw this on Facebook & loved it... 1. Yes, your freshman AND Sophomore years count towards your GPA for college entrance. Screw it up and you’ll work for crap wages your whole life. 2. No means NO. In every possible circumstance.

Seen this project yet on Pinterest...  like a million times?  My creative daughter decided to tackle this the other day.  She purchased her own canvas + a box of generic crayons (she found the Up & Up box of 24... Target's brand... for only 25 cents).

Any of my scrapbooking friends had their work published in Scrapbook Trends lately?  My card that was published in the March issue was just finally returned to me last week, but that was all that was in the box?  No free magazines & no freebies as I've received in the

I know this may be a surprise to you... but I have more Zumba photos today.  I know.  Not a surprise. In fact if you know me... these days I'm in my sweaty work-out clothes looking like a hot mess WAY more than I'm in my nice clothes & high heels.  Me no likey.
