July4th
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
The Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776
Happy Birthday, America. Thank you for all the wonderous freedoms which you have endowed upon your inhabitants. I am truly honored to say that I’m PROUD to be an AMERICAN!

This Monday morning I’m celebrating…(which I do always love to do)…celebrating hitting 100 fans over at The Sassy Steel Magnolia facebook page!
Love a reason for a party and this one’s as good as any.
To celebrate, The Sassy Steel Magnolia is giving away a $25 gift certificate to one of my favorite online jewelry finds….
You may remember me mentioning the site before, as it is indeed where I get my own pistol pendant that I wear every day.
To enter is easy – leave a comment below or on facebook (you can even do both!) and tell us WHY you like The Sassy Steel Magnolia. That’s it. No heavy thinking involved on that one, just why you hit (or plan to hit if you haven’t already) the like button. *Bonus points if you go as far as to name your favorite post.
The give away ends next Sunday night (July 4th – yay!) at 11:59 p.m. and the winner will be announced in next week’s Sassy Starter. Anyone can enter, fellas don’t be shy, as there’s few things better than being a little charmed & dangerous. ;)

I think every girl (and any decent guy) knows a thing or two about the world of fashion. Even if it’s the basic color wheel, there’s a bit of a Fashion Hat sitting in all of our closets. I think it all started with dressing Barbie (and making sure GI Joe still looked good enough to catch Barbie’s eye for you fellas reading this). Regardless of how it started, here’s your chance to play Barbie dress up again, in a more grown-up sort of way of course.
A month ago my friend Shauna of Mackenzie Image Consulting tapped me into a little secret: Couturious. And let me tell you – this little secret of her’s has turned into a bit of an addiction for me. I’ve literally caught myself on the site for hours creating outfits, looking through and hearting other outfits, coming up with certain things to wear for certain places. I had forgotten how much fun putting on your Fashion Hat and playing Stylist can be!
You can pick the model (I’m a bit partial to the red head, go figure), the back drop, the shoes, the clothes, the bags, the accessories – all of it. So addicting and so much fun. As you can see, I’m not the most high powered fashion kind of gal but I do love having that kind of virtual closet at my disposal.
So when you have a little spare time, put on your Fashion Hat, set up an account at Couturious.com (add me! TheSSMOnline) and give your inner stylist a work out session. But you might want to set an alarm or wait till you get home, I’d hate for you to get carried away in the middle of the day…..

This one goes out to quite a few people today:
1. Angie for her 5 a.m. text asking if I happened to have this song & her hard work in putting the 2010 Moms Run together in such a fabulous way!
2. My Sista Sista Jessica & her Husband Justin, who are leaving tomorrow to head to Aruba for the next week!
3. Mortti, who leaves tonight for a nice little cruise in the Caribbean!
4. My girl, E, who just moved into a new apartment and near finished getting everything set up and ready to roll.
5. Berty, who just got back in to town! (but I’m not allowed to talk about where he was because the CIA will come get me.)
6. C-Note for finally making an appearance on The Sassy Steel Magnolia and who will probably have to buy me lunch for mentioning his name.
7. My brother Jim, who turned 36 yesterday!
8. My doll downstairs, Lavinia, who’s lost 12 lbs already and gonna cause quite the stir out on the beach in her bikini!
9. The one and only ATC, who just gets me and all the crazy things that roll through my mind!
10. All my fabulous readers who keep coming back time and time again to read my ramblings!
And last but not least: Me! Because I said so and it’s my blog :)

On this the day to celebrate Administrative Professionals I knew exactly what song I wanted to post. Having plenty of Admin experience myself I know the ups and downs that come with having an administrative aid position. Everyday is never the same and sometimes you love your job and others….well, not so much. On the days that you-don’t so much-there’s one song that you can always turn to, one movie you can always pop in and laugh your cares away. Ladies & Gentlemen of the Admin World, and for all of you Workin’ Girls out there, this one’s for you…

• Happy Administrative Professionals Day to all You Hard Working Sistas (and Fellas) Out There •
With out you, the world would barely be able to function!
