I must say that with all of the excitement in my life that February is not turning out to be a very good reading month for me at all! I'm currently reading Nefertiti as my book club selection and it seems that when I sit down to read I am constantly interrupted! I am loving the story but I really need to be able to sit down and read more than five pages at a time. I'm looking forward to discussing this one with my group next week.
If I hadn't lost my sister to her colon problems almost two years ago she would be turning 35 years old this Saturday. Gosh I really miss her! Life can be so lonely when your siblings and parents are no longer with you and I am so grateful for the wonderful women that are in my life now. My daughter is growing into such a wonderful young lady and when I don't think I could be any more proud of her she does something that amazingly blows me away! And my girlfriends have helped me fill a void in my life that makes me shutter to think of what life would be like without them. So Thank You to all the special ladies in my life!
I have also recently realized that because of my job change and not having enough vacation time accrued yet I will not be able to attend the BEA in New York again this year! Next summer my son is getting married so I won't be able to go then either, so now it probably isn't feasible until 2013...wow, that's a long way off!
So that is all the news in my life right now...happy reading everyone!

Jo JO...I wasn't aware you lost your sister; I am so sorry - so young too.
I do hope that you like your new job.
I'm sorry for your loss but happy that you have a wonderful support team behind you. Best wishes.

Life can be crazy, that's for sure. Is there a regional trade show near you that you could attend?
Hey Jo-Jo, it is hard to have those losses in life and I don't think they ever really leave us. It's nice that you have such a great support group. Good luck on that new job!
I can't believe it's been two years since you lost your sis. I'm thinking of ya.
Oh, and as far as BEA goes, maybe 2013 will be the year I get to go! I never seem to plan it right and it sneaks up on me.
Birds of a Feather my dear friend...you are one amazing girlfriend yourself! So excited for you and your new adventures that await you!! xoxo
I understand your loss Jo--my only brother passed away in '95. He would have been 42 on March 12th. It sounds like you have some excitement with a new job. Hopefully that will be as great as you hope it to be. Have a wonderful week...
It's wonderful that you have such a good support group of women around you. I don't know if I'll ever be able to go to BEA. I hope you get to go in a few years at least though.
It must be wonderful to watch your daughter grow up but I am sorry for the loss of your sister - she was so young!
good luck with the new job!
Jo-Jo sorry about the loss of your sister, that is so young to have life cut short.
Congratulations on your new job.
Don't forget about all of your online girlfriends :) We're always just a click away!
