Friday Fun: A Virtual Hop Skip and Jump
03/22/2008
Friday Fun is Diva Marketing's virtual happy hour from cosmos to Jack to lemonade. A waiting for the weekend 'playground' time to be sophisticated-silly. Or sometimes just plain silly.
On this sunny in Hot'Lanta second day of spring I had time to skip around the blogosphere, read some twits and open some email that I had neglected. In my virtual travels I found some cool stuff. Girlfriend, put your extra secs into shakin' up a dirty martini or putting the 'company' coffee on to brew and then relax for a few and enjoy my finds for you.
