I don’t particularly mind New Year’s Eve celebrations and there is something to be said for champagne, dumb hats and noise makers, but the resolutions drive me bananas. Each year my inner dialogue kicks in and it has gone a little something like this. 2007: This year I am going to lose weight! 2008: This [...]

The rumors being reported by the media are true. I am a married woman. The wedding took place just two days before SEMA and I wasn’t about to miss the biggest show of the year. My new husband, Pat, traveled to Vegas with me and, like any man in his 20’s, he drooled over the [...]

Last year at SEMA I told you that it was all about paint protection film. While this is definitely still the case I have been hearing a new tune. While paint protection demos are still speckling the show floor and tinters are still looking for more info on the product, many attendees are looking at [...]

I feel so educated. After returning from the International Window Film Tint-Off and Conference I feel like I need a diploma and graduation cap. While inMemphis I learned a lot about our industry and, more importantly, you. I’ve compiled my list of what I know for sure after attending the International Window Film Tint-Off and [...]

Five letters in three names (all ending in an “E”) is supposed to tell you all about me—Katie Marie Hodge. While I enjoy the organization of a name that is truly symmetrical and even, I am excited to take a new name. In fact, when you see me at SEMA I will be sporting a [...]

I really had no idea how difficult it would be. I thought, “All dogs have to go through this and it happens all the time.” Everyone told me I was worrying for no reason. However, after returning from her spay surgery, my seven month old yellow lab has lost her mind. She has been sentenced [...]

I recently had to buy a giant whiteboard calendar. It has been attached to my fridge for two weeks and I can’t believe I didn’t think of this sooner. My household schedule is fairly insane. My fiancé works a rotating work schedule (two days on, two days off, three days on, two days off, etc.) [...]

Yes, my friends, the time is upon us. It’s that time of year where all of the hard work comes down to just a few weeks. The time when your bets are placed on the table and your paperwork is completed. I do believe March Madness has arrived. I will admit that I don’t watch [...]
