At work last week, Sylvia did a Lunch and Learn on Adobe Connect and I volunteered to stay in my office and be someone people could meet up with to help make the experience more authentic. Well, I was surprised how much I learned that I didn’t know about Adobe Connect. I feel [...]

My Valentine’s Day gift
Brad really outdid himself this year — a really awesome iron!! Now, I can get rid of my crappy iron from the Seventies that I picked up at a garage sale while I was an undergrad. Every time I worked on some craft project, I’d bitch and moan about how much I hated it. [...]
