Yoshi!
This has been a good week. A very good week. Too busy, and too boring for the most part to post, but a good week just the same.

Goodbye, Sweet Spammy Girl

Being fabulous is a lifelong pursuit
I just learned of a friend's death. She died peacefully, and with her family at her side after a long, full life.
The title of this post was in the comments, and I want it to stick with me. She was a fabulous woman, and was an inspiration to many.
I'm off to plan something fabulous in her honor. -
