On another happier note....I can't wait to see some of my friend  bloggers from Columbus at our get-together tomorrow! It is going to be a good morning mixed with coffee, books, and friends. It can't get any better! (more details about this mini-Columbus conference on Sunday!)

Happy Friday! Make it a good day!
