My head is still spinning!  I still cannot believe I am HERE…  And where is HERE?  Starting up our business!  It is really hard for me to wrap my mind around our new journey.  I am not one to take risk’s.  It is how I programmed myself for protection.  I was once happy just being on the outside looking in, saying WOW that looks like fun.  Never in a million years did I think that I would be in the “mix” of the adult world.  Dolores S.  Business owner!  It’s got a really nice ring to it!  It’s an awesome feeling of accomplishment!  And it’s a new sense of pride. 
I know “this” meaning success isn’t going to happen over night.  LIKE MOST GREAT THINGS!  It’s a long gruelling process!  And I am ready to take the challenge!  I am ready to be here.  And here is the most important thing!!  I am happy and excited to be here! 
As I embark on this new journey I know the road ahead of me is going to be paved with thorns and is most often times going to be bumpy!  I say BRING IT ON!!
 ”That which doesn’t kill us, makes us stronger” !!!!

Inner ramblings of a cluttered mind!
And if you wanted to get to know me even on a more personal level here is my personal blog!!!

I am a dreamer!  I have BIG HUGE idea’s! 
Example:  I wanted to be a lawyer…  I wanted to be CSI…  I would REALLY like to write a self help for single, divorced, or just women who need a pick me up, I learned so, much about myself and men while I was “finding” myself… And I would LOVE to pass this around to other women…  I have two years left on my pshycology degree… Oh the list goes on and on…   BIG HUGE idea’s not so, big on making them happen!  And why?  When I see the road ahead I get too overwhelmed and I see how “unsafe it is” and I check out!!  BIG DREAMER is ALOT of hot air!!
I married a dreamer as well… However, this other dreamer makes things happen!  He makes it come alive and he is my biggest cheerleader!
Which is why I am here today.
Several times during this process I have wanted to say “nope, I quit!” and, my husband is right there, he keeps me straight and helps me along.
So, with the big dreamer that I am, and with the go getter that Jason is!  I promise you…  Your in GREAT hands!

YAY!  So, you decided to stay! 
Here is your in-depth look at the “dreamer” of TopHat Affairs. 
My name is Dolores.  I am happily married mother of four.  I have a seven, six and 4 month old twins!  Needless to say I have taken the statement ” I am busy” to new levels.
Here is a little about me:
I am a members of the Parental Advisory Committee for Special Education for the Liberty Co. Board of Education,  and I am a member of the Coastal GA Autism Support Group.  Autism Awareness is a passion of mine! I have two that are in the spectrum.  My son has PDD( pervasive developmental disorder) and my daughter has the blanket diagnosis of Infantile Autism.  So, I am very involved in every aspect of Autism I can get my hands on! I believe knowledge in the face of the enemy is the only way to defeat.  Autism is a rising enemy.  I am an avid advocate!  
I am a full time student enrolled at AASU my major is Pschyology with a minor in business marketing and early history.  I am currently onhiatus for the next couple years or so, my twins were born early, with them being early that can sometimes mean that health problems might arise, that might require me to be a stay at home mom.  

I am a no nonsense person!  I am the type of person that can take constructive criticism because, when you are the one looking at yourself, you sometimes cannot see what other people can.  I believe that is one the best ways for self growth.  I am ever-evolving person!  I never want to stop learning! 
I see the world differently!  I see the world how it is, not how I want it to be.  I can dish out tough love and I expect that in return from the people I consider friends!!

Life have been one big adventure for me!  I would not change anything for the life I have had.  All broken roads led me to where I am today and I love my life! 
And in the words of beloved Dr. Suess taken from the book “Oh the Places you’ll Go”

OH!
THE PLACES YOU’LL GO!

You’ll be on your way up!
You’ll be seeing great sites!
You’ll join the high fliers!
who soar to high heights.

Who am I?  I am the dreamer of TopHat Affairs!!!

It started with a simple… “I wish” and, it was turned into a reality!  What am I talking about?  My life!
