HAVE YOU EVER HAD ONE OF THOSE WEEKS ? YOU KNOW THE ONES, WHERE EVERYTHING HAPPENS AT ONCE. WELL I HAVE HAD THREE OF THEM...IN A ROW ! THE WORST THING WAS WHEN MY SWEET MOM HURT HER BACK AND HAS BEEN IMMOBILE SINCE THE WEEKEND. PLEASE PRAY FOR HER.. SHE ALREADY HAS SO MANY HEALTH PROBLEMS. ONE THING ABOUT MY MOM...SHE ALWAYS HAS A SMILE ON HER FACE AND SOMETHING NICE TO SAY. WELL AFTER RUNNING LIKE A CHICKEN WITH HER HEAD CUT OFF TRYING TO REPLENISH THE SHOP AFTER THE SEVEN SPRINGS FESTIVAL, GOING TO LAKEWOOD 400 TO SEE THERESA & CRAIG SMITH AND THE 2 CHIPPY'S (GREAT TO FINALLY MEET YOU LULU) AND REALIZING TWO DAYS AGO THAT THE SHOP ACROSS THE STREET WAS HAVING CHRISTMAS OPEN HOUSE TONIGHT!!! AND THAT IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA TO STAY OPEN LATE, I DECIDED TO CLOSE EARLY AND COME BACK LATER TO REOPEN FOR THE SALE.( I KNOW... RUN ON SENTENCES, BUT THIS IS HOW I TALK WHEN I GET EXCITED.) WELL I HAD PLANNED TO CLOSE AT 2:00 BUT PEOPLE KEPT COMING IN SO I STAYED. JUST AFTER I LOCKED THE DOORS AND PICKED UP MY PURSE TO LEAVE, SEVERAL LADIES CAME TO THE DOOR SO I RAN AND UNLOCKED THE DOOR AND INVITED THEM IN AND BOY AM I GLAD I DID. ONE OF THE LADIES MENTIONED TEXAS AND THAT SHE HAD BEEN AT THE SHOWS AND BOY DID THAT OPEN UP A CONVERSATION. WELL THE MORE WE TALKED THE MORE WE REALIZED THAT WE KNEW THE SAME PEOPLE AND I MENTIONED BLOGGING AND SHE SAID SHE HAD A BLOG THEN SHE SAID THE NAME...PINK ROSES!!! OH YES THE LOVELY AND TALENTED SUZANNE DUDA WAS IN MY SHOP. IT'S LIKE I KNEW HER BUT HAD NEVER MET HER. I READ HER BLOG EVERYDAY. WELL WHAT A WONDERFUL SURPRISE. I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS WHOLE BLOG WORLD. YOU MEET THE NICEST PEOPLE THERE. SO GLAD TO MEET YOU SUZANNE... PLEASE COME BACK AGAIN SOON.
