Casual Fridays For The Freelancer
My iPhone alarm goes off at 8:30. I push “Snooze”, or “OK” and fall asleep for another thirty minutes—an hour—it really all depends on whether or not I have a deadline.

What I’ve Been Missin’
Got my hair braided today. I took a ten year break from it, but have recently started up again. Only this time I’m 4,000 miles away from my hairdresser–my mother–I miss her.

After returning home to the big city from being away, I realized that I didn’t give myself enough credit for how responsible and put together I am (if you don’t mind me saying so myself). Monday was quite the day; full of massive e-mail and phone correspondences with co-workers, customers and contractors regarding broker tours … Continue reading »
