Today Was A Restful Day For Me! Starting To Plan For Next Year!

As soon as the gifts are opened and Christmas dinner is over I'm in planning mode for the next year. There are gifts I get that follow a pattern every year. My daughter-in-law gets jewelry. If I find necklace/earring combo, I'm stoked. Otherwise it's earrings. My daughter and granddaughter love... Sign in to see full entry.

Even Though It's Considered A Holiday, The Boise Postmaster Called.

My son-in-law, daughter and I have been trying for days to find out where my package is located. The last location was Cincinnati. It was in Cincinnati for at least 6 days. The updates just said the package was moving through the network. This morning when I awoke I checked my email and by the grace... Sign in to see full entry.

I Doubt My Gifts Will Arrive Before Christmas!

It has been 4 days since my last update. Everyday I check it says my package is in transit to the next facility. The next facility does not take 4 days. I have kept busy today to keep my mind off the dilemma. Ceil made a good point. She said they might enjoy the gifts more opening later than all the... Sign in to see full entry.

Service Request Filed, Perhaps Too Late For Resolution.

I mailed my gifts for my grandchildren on the 12th. I paid for 4 day shipping. My packages were supposed to arrive last Wednesday. One of the boxes sat in Indianapolis for 3 days and another 3 days in Cincinnati. When I checked at USPS yesterday it said my package was in transit to next facility. If...

Fabulous Saturday! DAWGS WIN! DAWGS WIN!

It was a fantastic game. My guys started out with two quick touchdows. One on their first drive of the game and the second on a turn over created by the defense. Harding got within a touchdown when the score was FSU 21, Harding 14. The final score was 42-21. At the end of the 3rd quarter my guys... Sign in to see full entry.

One Never Knows What The Mail Will Bring, Just Never!

I got a text from my daughter late last night and a letter arrived telling her that based on her Google reviews and other metrics her salon is rated in the top 3 in Boise. Considering Boise is a good size city and her salon is classified as a suite, it's a tremendous accomplishment. What makes this... Sign in to see full entry.

This Month Is Cruising Along! Christmas In A Week! Yikes!

I t seems I am always revamping my exercise regime. One of the most critical parts of exercising is to allow time for recovery. It's as important as the exercise itself. I spend every Sunday in recovery except for walking. I get my hour in by walking in increments of 15 minutes plus 8 hours of 250... Sign in to see full entry.

The Year End Reports For the Salon Are Fast Approaching!

This is the time of the year when I have to do the inventory for products, back bar, perms, color tubes, etc. I go over all the expenses as well. As I was perusing the statement from the company that collects money for the business and then deposits it the business bank account. I noticed some weird... Sign in to see full entry.
