I have tried to keep you all in the loop on my comings & goings via
twitter these last few weeks. This week I am looking forward to having
some family visit us in SC midweek for the July 4 weekend. (Yay!) After that, I'll be on
the road traveling for a stint again. I will continue to post updates
both here and on twitter.
Oh! I almost forgot!
I'm putting together a list of July 4-related tips for this week!!
Do you have one you'd like me to share?
Email me! :)
xxoo!

Also just wanted to mention...
I make it a daily habit to watch the morning national news. Every weekday (and some Saturdays) I get up and turn on Good Morning America to get caught up on snippets of world news, a lot of national news, and some heartwarming and funny stories that get me out of bed in the morning.
However, when I've stopped watching for a few days - when I make trips out of town, for example, or out of the country - or when I'm sick in bed for a few days... all of a sudden I've found myself learning news days after it happened... and feeling completely out of the loop! Surely I'm not alone in this.
Over the last two weeks Ryan + I have been jamming to Michael Jackson's Number Ones album (it is one of my favorite recent CD purchases - I picked it up in March for the drive from Florida to "the SC"). I introduced him to 'Dirty Diana' - a song that he claims he had never heard before. (I found this profoundly strange as he is extremely well-versed in the world of music, both popular and obscure.) And we revisited numerous other songs neither of us had heard in a long time. We had discussions on the superstar - wondering what the day-to-day life for such a celebrity must hold - and discussing "whatever happened to him."
On Thursday, we both looked at each other, completely perplexed, when Dane Cook (his show in Columbia was perfection) dedicated the night to Michael. Huh?? Obviously, everyone else knew what he was talking about because the whole arena burst into applause.
I felt clueless for the rest of the night and for the following morning. Needless to say, we have since found out the news.
Very sad - such a legend...
