So I’m all off in MI and we’ve just left R’s family Xmas party on Xmas Eve. Had a great time, hung with his brothers and sister and assorted family members and I received the gift of Barry!!!!!!!!!!! Uh-huh. My man got us tickets to see Barry in Dallas in Feb. I didn’t even know he was coming to Dallas… Truly, I have the besteset evah boyfriend

Anyhoodles, we hop in the car and take off to go to his moms which is like two hours away. Run smack dab into some black ice. Cars are all upside down on the side of the highway. In essence, we need to stop and wait it out. So we decide to stay in a hotel and tackle the drive to his mothers in the morning.

Check into the Holiday Inn with no problems at all–get a nice room and we have Internet. Normally, when we go to MI and we’re at his moms I don’t have any access. So though I figure it’s going to be pretty quiet, I take a peek anyway because I’m sure it can’t hurt to weed out the SPAM.

I see a note from my friend Angela on a group I’m on and the subject is Romantic Times, but I deleted it like an idiot because I’m not so good on my MAC laptop yet. I hit another one in response to her email and it says, “Yay, Dakota!” And I think, well, huh. Yay, what exactly? I figured Angela got a multi-platinum 2 bazillion star review and quite frankly, I’m so used to her getting them. So I’m not AT ALL prepared for what came next.

It wasn’t Angela’s review. It was mine. I am the proud recipient of a 4.5 star review. I was like-no way and then the guilt set in.

I’ve blinded a reviewer from RT now. Which means I’ve gone all global. LOLLOL

So a big thanks to RT for the fab review–it made Xmas eve in a Holiday Inn a whole lot more cheerful!

So I’m off to MI with R and his family and my sons are off to Jersey this year for Xmas with their father.

I’m stoked because it’s supposed to snow in MI and it also means some much needed down time after the caaaaa-raziest year like evah.

Then I’ll come home and start all over again

So here’s to all of the wonderful people I’ve met this year and the terrific opportunities that have come my way as a result. I’m uber-grateful and humbled by your presence in my zany world.

Wishing all of you the happiest of holidays and a prosperous new year!

Dakota
