Trish:Anyhoo… West Ranch at 10.
Me:Leave your heels at home, Shortstack.

As usual, the girls put me in a good mood. My pre-graduation laser tag girls’ day is going to be fabulous. My brothers insisted on throwing a party at the ranch next Saturday, butthisSaturday will be all about the girls and me. I make a mental note to stock up on Baileys, edible glitter, and shoe polish.
Smile on my face, I slide my sticky laptop and notebooks in my backpack and head out.
It’s time to see a brother about automotive clear-coating a glitterized KitchenAid mixer.
