I am taking far more agressive take on having an upscale life! Not upscaled in a money sense although that wouldn't be so bad. It is more about had a better, higher sense of who and what I am and will do.

I had wonderful wonderful moments before and some that were "oogley-ugly". I came to realize that as that old adage "be careful what you asked for as you might just get it"!

You just can't live there". So now, I'll vamp it, upscale it in my not so secret vieux. Here I Glow!
