Welcome Back

Welcome back blogging buds. Sorry for my fickleness. I had so much going on this week I thought, HOW can I not blog it? So here we are back at Love's Lessons...learning another one. Don't be so impulsive. Lol

This week LFM did a 1/2 hr interview on local radio WBLE...really fun. I think only three people listened but still, fun.
We also had our BIG presentation to the roundtable meeting I talked about before...)
Here is who we presented to:

Public Defender 5th Circuit Court
State Senator
Gary Borders Sheriff Lake County Sheriff's Office
Anna Cowin Superintendent
Bill D'Aiuto Circuit Administrator Department of Children and Families
Kim Dixon Department of Juvenile Justice
State Representative District 25
Clerk of Courts Clerk
State Attorney Dr. Charles Mojock
President Lake-Sumter Community College
President United Way of Lake & Sumter Counties
Pam Steinke Administrtor Lake County Health Department
Debbie Stivender Commissioner Lake Board of County Commissioners
Michael Takac Juvenile Judge 5th circuit Court
Ron Wallace Publisher Daily Commercial

AND the verdict????.....they LOVED us!

Man that was scary...but worth it...we got the big stuffies laughing and joking and generally actually LOOKING at the magazine and giving us one big STAMP of approval.

Lots of kudos for LFM and our endeavors to the community so all the hard stuff is past us and I am thankful to just be back to the OLD work of simple deadlines and mag work. Who knew there could more stress above THAT? Lol That seems like a breeze now...it is funny how difficulty can grow you into a stronger and more capable person...it is much harder to ruffle me and I tend to just joke about everything. Ig ths sky falls in, so be it. Not stressed anymore...just livin' the dream Lol

I inadvertantly scheduled the Fairy Party on the same day as the presentation so I had to do them both within two hours of each other. That was fun. Really. From magazine editor to fairy god mother all in a span of 2 hours. Good times.

Calgon.....take me to CHURCH!

Love you guys...glad to have you back.

I'm glad you are back to blogging! So glad that all your extras this week went so well. LFM is awesome--is there anyone out there who doesn't think so?

Tiffany, I would say it's so so, not awesome. just kidding... I have always been a fan of LFM, just ask Steph and it has nothing to do with the fact that I write a column,( have I ever mentioned that, no, didn't think so?)Honestly, I think it gets better every month. Steph, all my neighbors love it and half of them don't have kids. And my mother in law wanted to know "Do you go our to lunch with all the gals who write the other columns." Seriously, she thoguht we all did lunch every week. It was so cute.
Glad you are back and that picture of Kate with the sugar...been there, done that...
