Last Week before "THE BREAK"


Here it is...the last week before schools are out for Winter Break. Last week to shop solo, to run errands solo, to go to the post office solo...you get the picture. Do me a favor this week...have a cup of coffee solo, watch some mindless TV solo, go for a walk solo, have lunch solo (or with a girlfriend). Do something for YOU before the craziness begins!!

Blessings,
The Buzz
