Who is Claire Bilby? I never heard of her before.

Wow - they announced the replacement for Jim Lewis already. Claire Bilby - don't know much about her. Hopefully she'll bring some good ideas.

We've been together over 18 years!

So yes, too long!

You know, there's an easy fix for that. It's a 7 letter, two syllable word that rhymes with horse. Just kidding, honey. I'm too scared the next DH wouldn't love Disney as much.

Hi Everyone!! How is Monday going for you all?

Here I go again with another thunderstorm! I was lifeguarding today and had to clear the pool because one came really suddenly! I'm ready for a dry day - but tomorrow should be more of the same.
