Thank you. Two powerful words that mean a lot.

My mom taught me, at a young age, to use proper manners, 'please' and 'thank you'. She also taught me to write thank you notes to people if they gave me gifts or spent time helping me, etc.

I'm thankful that she taught me this lesson, among many other things. I know it has helped me become who I am today. Thanks Mom!

While I'm busy auditing, Frankie is busy chewing on a bone in the care of my parents. He looks pretty spoiled and happy about the situation, and I can see why!

Day 53: February 22, 2011

I learned from my mom at a young age, dessert will make almost any day better. And this one did the trick.

Day 52: February 21, 2011

I called the Marriott 'home' this week. As busy season gets even busier, and my client is nearly an hour drive away from my apartment, I decided to stay in the hotel right around the corner. I loved the 5 minute commute and the luxury of staying in a hotel, which includes cable TV and a maid to make my bed!

Day 51: February 20, 2011

Although I'm a native Texan, until today, I had never been to a gun show.




It was a cultural experience, to say the least.

Day 50: February 19, 2011

After a long week of work, Mom and Darrell treated me out to a wonderful dinner at Bob's Steakhouse.



Good food. Good company. And of course, good dessert. It doesn't get better than that.

No Strings Attached, starring Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher.

My favorite line from the movie: "You make my heart have premature ventricular contractions." In other words, you make my heart skip a beat.
