Hello Tuesday! Some of us had Monday off (not everyone – 13 states do not officially celebrate Columbus Day: Alaska, Hawaii, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, South Dakota, Vermont, Washington D.C. and Wisconsin. South Dakota officially celebrates Native American Day instead of Columbus Day.

While some of my clients were also off yesterday, some were not. I, however, actually took Friday and Monday off for a long weekend (gasp! I know, right?!), and headed up to Leavenworth to meet up with some online friends who turned into real life friends. Don’t let the town’s name fool you, though, it’s a Bavarian town in the mountains. Definitely not a prison!

A (very) long time friend of my family happens to be an author – she’s written over 40 books, some of them have been turned into Hallmark and Lifetime movies. If you’re a cheesy romantic like I am, you may have heard of her – Sheila Roberts. One of her early books was turned into a Hallmark Movie: On Strike for Christmas. One of my favorite books and movies!

Her latest book (just released on September 20th) is at this very moment being turned into a movie for Great American Channel (GAC) (new streaming channel that has poached a lot of Hallmark actors), The Road to Christmas“. Another brilliant romance novel by Sheila, and I’m looking forward to seeing it come alive on the screen!

Us ladies were there this weekend for camaraderie, to meet in person after interacting on our group’s Facebook page, as well as support Sheila for one of her book signing events. I’d say we had some fun:

That’s the first time I ditched the family for a girls weekend since going to BlogHer in 2012! I better not wait another 10 years for the next one. Now it’s back to reality, and back to work! Let‘s jump into the funnies first though, shall we? This cracked me up:
