She left our family answering machine message in Thai so her family knew … Continue reading Mama’s Voice
I know exactly the point in the day on Monday when it said, “Let’s kick Shelia in her imaginary balls.” It was a few minutes right after 8:30 am. I like to get to work between 8:00 to 8:15 am since it starts at 8:30 am. I get all the email I need downloaded, open the websites to admin, and get ready for the day. … Continue reading This Week
