Mommo and Bobbo

Lucca and I live with Mommo and Bobbo, my kind and generous and very patient parents.

I think I found the ring…

My good friend Kelly sent me the link to a conflict free diamond jeweler. (She also sent me the mp3 of “Wagon Wheel” and I cried listening to it. I didn’t realize it was a song when Man in Kentucky sent me that text, clueless me! After listening to the lyrics, now his message means [...]

The Question before THE Question

Friday Afternoon Multi-Tasking….Errr, Procrastinating

I am doing five things at once…none of which of what I should really be doing, which is working on the Business Plan for iHeart (its getting expensive to run this social network out of pocket! we need to find an angel investor, I know He/She is out there somewhere).
