Manic Monday

If it has to be Monday, we can at least have a little fun...

A new year means new beginnings, step into the sun and feel renewed...




Welcome to the new year! Any good stories from the holidays? I'm sure there are, there always are! The new year officially means that 'the holiday season' in retail has come to a close, which I'm terribly happy about. Today is my second day off in a row and I'm a little afraid I won't want to go back! It's been wonderful, though, getting to do things at my leisure and be keeper of my own time. I hope your holiday break was relaxing and refreshing, because I have a feeling 2010 will be a big year, but more on that later... Happy Monday, friends, and do something great this week!
