I wanted to congratulate my good friend Ally on becoming a Mommy. She gave birth to Daemien James Tapia Rooks-Joya on November 19th at 6:57 pm. He was 8lbs, 5 1/2 ounces and 21 1/2″ long. I saw the picture the hospital puts up on-line and he is a doll! He has lots of dark hair and the most adorable face you have ever seen. (I miss you girlie! I am so proud of you! Good luck!)

I also want to congratulate my friend Lisa M. on passing her Series 6 exam. One down, one to go, sweetie! I knew you could do it! Now we can get past the holidays and focus on 63. Girl power!

Now I am going to be out of town for a couple days for Thanksgiving (bring on the tryptophan, baby!), so things are gonna be quiet over here. But when I get back, get ready for the Mother Load of family pictures. Just a warning….
