Good morning everyone! It’s almost St. Patty’s day weekend & it’s Friday! I have to admit, my Thursday went flying by. I had one of those mornings where I didn’t hear my alarm at all.

There is no way it is before 8am.” I proceed to look over & see my phone lighting up and a big 10:00am flashed in my face. At first I panicked & thought that I had my 10:30am client coming over before … [Read more...]
