I’m so excited!  My husband and I purchased some new flooring today, some of which will be going in my home office!  It is a laminate product, which will significantly reduce the dust level in my office (read: goodbye dust bunnies).  We’ve waited 5 years to make this “upgrade” and it’s so exciting to be [...]

It’s got the best coffee & lunch menu in town. I get to [...]

A while back, I started using Google Grand Central for my business line.  To say that I love it is an understatement!  Then, this morning I read that they were upgrading the service, and it will be called “Google Voice”.  That’s the good news.  The bad news?  Yeah, if you don’t already have a number, [...]
