Princess Party!!!

Well… I did it… I survived my first ever princess themed kindergarten sleep over.



It was touch and go there for a long long while… but in the end, Jose Cuervo saved my life. Okay, maybe it wasn’t quite THAT bad… but it was no eas

The Blue Jean CEO Tricia Mischler on My Wired Style





I had an opportunity to meet Tricia at a business meeting in Dallas last month.
She is a smart lady!
It was great to meet and chat with, she is helping people develop their own businesses.
It was an honor to sow into her business and her life with My Wired Style!
It is wonderful to have lovely messages like this.
So to all of you who sow into someone else's life and business too....Thank You!

Kids and Technology poll results!

Well it appears the majority of us thought 7 1/2 hours a day using various forms of technology was just too much for our kids. Here's the breakdown.

Yes, that is WAY too much! 64%

No, we live in a wired world. 14%

Yes, I am actively trying to reduce that number. 19%

No, in fact, I am trying to learn more so I can relate to them better. 0%

Other: 3%

Remember to answer the new poll. And if you have a question you would like to see used, shoot a message our way!

… I’ve missed one afternoon of work because of flooding in Arizona
… One of the dogs has taken to eating their food, and then peeing in the bowl
… The engine light on the car is on one day, and mysteriously gone the next

And yesterday… yesterday was another day… Continue

Transitions

My oldest son turned 18 today. I wanted to write him this moving letter that he would keep for the rest of his life.

I spent hours putting together a montage of photographs of him from the past eighteen years and ended up sharing with him the few thoughts that came to me about life and growing up. Fo… Continue

Ok Rene, what is a "spot" of Cabernet? Would that be considered as just a sip or, in my case, the entire bottle?

I will be reading this one too! What a fool, I thought when he did his press conference. It was obvious that he was in love with this other woman. I felt awful for his wife and children.

It's February 6th and I have made some progress. However, for some consistent reason, the time for suprise treats show up and my most favorite came in on Wednesday. I am pleased to report that I indulged with great control. I opened my box, screamed…
