We were outdoors in 110 degree heat, selling soft drinks and other beverages to the parched sports fans entering the arena, and we worked for a good 14 hours that … More The Gatorade Effect
Ok, first things first, I have to give a shoutout to Carolyn at Diary of a Sewing Fanatic because her post totally inspired me to do a decade-long look back at my sewing.
