******************************
Before we forget...
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones...may this be a memorable time for you...Cherish those around you and don't forget to take care of yourselves...
Let's share a Thanksgiving moment in my past.
I love my family...I really do...and every year our family descends upon my parents' house for a twenty two sit down meal. Being the blessed baby of the family, I have never been asked to make anything (since I really don't cook.) Six years ago (not that I have it cemented in my brain), I wanted to contribute in a selfless manner by making a dish from scratch. Pumpkin Soup was my idea of the perfect addition to an already successful tradional meal. I journeyed to the market to fetch the necessary items. I was so excited that I was actually going to make a love dish for my family.
I retired to bed at 3am after a few fiascos in the preparation of the love dish...I was exhausted. I believe I used every pot, utensil, cup, spoon, fork, cocktail glass ( I was thirsty) and every linen. BUT I wanted and thrived to make the perfect dish.
Travel to Cherryville while guarding the priced soup not to spill in the turbulant drive. I arrive. I announce that I, too have brought a dish to contribute to our family Thanksgiving. Pumpkin Soup! What? What is that? You want us to eat that? Giggle, giggle, giggle! AND it didn't stop there. I only remember three bowls being eaten of the soup.
That soup lasted me WAY too long...
Six years later, every family member still chuckles about the soup...and as God is my Witness, I will burn Tara down before I ever make soup again...
But, I still love my family!
****************************
Some of you may know that I am working out with a personal trainer. Chris is pushing me beyond my limits to force me into the perfect body. I have a little issue. At 37, I have 7th grade junior high girl wrists. I can't get them bigger for the life of me. I don't wear a watch for that reason. Can you help me? I need to find a watch that does not accent my boney wrists but makes them look great and actually gives me the time when I need it!

SHUZSOCIETY.COM

Ladies...if ever a website was designed with you in mind...

Welcome to www.shuzsociety.com

Borrowed from their website...

The new platform supports participation from shoe consumers and the footwear industry to strengthen shoe aficionado loyalty and enable consumer feedback programs and surveys.

Click on it and see for yourselves...We were featured a few weeks ago...

Now, I am sharing my secret with you...

Also, I was and still am overwhelmed with the newest grouping from Trina Turk. I had my moment and even emailed her...

TRINA TURK RESPONDS

So ladies...we love Trina Turk...the lady totally rules!

So I emailed her the other day and guess what? She emailed back...


My email to her....

Trina,

The 2008 Holiday/Resort Collection is your best yet! Seriously, how do you do it? Absolutely amazing...I have wet my pants many times over the pieces (just kidding...can you imagine a 37 year old male wetting his pants every time a lady tries on the pieces in his store). But, do you get the visual?

Your business HAS to be insane from your solid following. A little store in Charlotte, NC loves you more than you know! Sloan rocks with your merchandise. You had us at hello. You complete us. You are just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him to love her.

Well Trina...WE DO! AS do our customers!

Thank you again!


Her email back to me....

Hi Dan: Wow, your email is a nice one to receive in the midst of a busy
day! We are simultaneously working on summer and fall ’08….
How do we do it? Well, we stick to who we are as a brand, try not to
get too sidetracked by crazy fashion trends, plus-- I have a lot of great
people working here that help me to make it happen. Thanks for the
enthusiastic email and I hope our sell through lives up to it! best regards, Trina

*****************

Ok, I think we are BFF's now...what a fabulous lady!
