So after a really rough ride for this last year...

Is there a soul around who ever expected to live though the new depression? I think it's like an American girl story gone terribly wrong. ( I say this because my 2 daughter's ~ now teenagers ~ have cumulatively acquired all the "girls " and most of their stuff, now resting in storage in my attic) 

I had been running around like mad this past fall/winter season...I don't know why everyone was waiting so long to book their events (just weeks before they are happening) but just the same, I've been at this for so long, It guess it really doesn't faze me...
