[Dreamboat] Re: Cracker Barrel

Well that is 'heart'ening news ...I'm glad to see they are updating their policies...even if it did take them a lawsuit or two to get there!

found it more economical to be fair.

Luv-n-Stuff,

I guess I've never been "far south" enough to been to a Cracker Barrel. 
I
heard about the controversy about the restaurant. It just doesn't seem 
like
my kind of place to go.

As for A&N and Deana doing a song for this album, it's my thinking
management wanted to get them together on a song to market them on 
their
"down time", between albums and tour....keeping their name out there so 
when
Ann's solo album comes out, you'll remember. The same with Deana. In 
my
Publicity and Promotions class, we're working on Media Stragedy....LOL!

I hope everyone had a nice Halloween. I'm in the mist of midterms 
right now
with 5 more weeks until finals (a final paper, two tests) and two 
projects
to do. The time is flying by....Thanksgiving is early this year, just 
3
weeks away! Where is the time flying to? I probably should of did 
grad
school years ago when I was younger. The schedule this quarter is 
taking
its toll on me. I feel like I spend my time communting on a train all 
the
time to and from school and my internship (which is going well.) I 
have no
social life and any free time I have, you can find me sleeping! At 
least I
will be finished my MS in March and I'll finish up the MBA by next 
fall.
I'm almost done!

Take care...
Francie
