Whirlwinds!

One of my worst pet peeves, that REALLY gets under my skin, is when people make marriage jokes. Especially at weddings. It makes me want to punch them in the face. Not joking. To say anything like "you just sold your soul to the devil", or "life's over now!", or anything like that to me is comparable to a fat joke. Not funny. Ever. It is usually men making said jokes. I'm not being sexist. In my experience, it has been. How does this make their spouse feel? Yikes! Besides being completely inappropriate (at a wedding or anytime), it is obviously a symptom of how taken for granted the idea of marriage is. For some people. Not all. Today, my thoughts are with lawmakers that they put an end to this idiotic argument that is decades past needing to be settled. Please let them do the right thing. #offsoapbox



Johnny and his wife, Janice, at Nanny's funeral 4 yrs. ago
 

My uncle, Johnny Lee Rickards, passed away last week. His viewing is tonight and his services are tomorrow. Please say a prayer, send love, and good thoughts to his daughter, Wendy and his wife Janice, stepdaughter Chanum, his siblings Daddy and Cindy and all the rest of our family and other people in the world that knew, loved and care about him. Yet another reminder to not take a single breath for granted, tell those you love that you love them and appreciate what you have while you have it.



Friday we will be celebrating our Grand Opening and are silly busy trying to ready the store (and ourselves) for this event. If you are available, please come!It will be fun - we will have a photobooth and some yummy treats. Our friend, Javier (What's CookN Chef) is bringing his fancy new food truck - not only is it crazy cool and a MUST SEE, he will be serving his latin-infused yummy goodness for our guests this weekend. Come out! We will try hard to make sure you aren't sorry! :)

It is exciting. And fun. And not going to lie - Owning your own business is glamorous, right up until you spend your third or fourth or fifth week in a row out until after midnight schlepping and bad delivery pizza for dinner. Even still, wouldn't change it for the world! Peace and love to you all.
