forgive me....

Please forgive me for not being around. I'm so tired....

Working 5 days a week, going to class 3 nights a week and I've been helping to teach a motorcycle safety instructor course on the weekends. Whew! Yep, I'm wiped out.

On a happy note, Thursday, Oct. 19th was my birthday. I took the day off and had a nice lunch with MY GIRLS, MY POSSE, MY PEEPS... We had lunch at Dot's Back Inn on the Northside. Dot's is a great little neighborhood eatery. They have the most awesome Reuben!
