This Friday was one of the best Friday's I've had in Holland, hands down.  It began with a live streaming of the Royal Wedding, complete with swooning, tears and awes by all the females in my office over Kate's GORGEOUS dress.  How beautiful ...

This weekend seems to be one for royalty.  First, we have William & Kate tying the knot in the UK tomorrow!  I work with a handful of Brits and their exuberance for the first Royal Wedding in 30 years is contagious.  An evite has eve...
