What has happened since we spoke last...

1. We had a wedding in the family.
2. It went beautifully.
3. Finished the Pillar Book
4. Finished the video
5. Coordinated with co-workers a mega successful kickoff.

WOW! Now it's time for me to get back to the art of blogging. I need to get back to my writing. It's time to focus.

Missed ya!

Gone but not forgotten... :-)

I'm a slacker

I have been a bad, bad poster. I've been busy. Busy taking care of everyone and also taking care of myself. I have started an exercise program (p90x) and weight watchers. I've been kind of successful but of course, I have a ways to go.

So that is it in a nut shell. I'm so busy at work that I don't have time for anything else right now. I suppose it keeps me out of trouble though. :-) ttfn

This I know for sure...

You cannot pick your family. Thankfully I have respectful, loving children and a respectful loving husband. :)

HELP!!

I'm working on my editorial for the News-Gazette. Last night between the hours of 1:oo a.m. and 3:30 a.m. it came to me that I should write about 'Second Chances'. I think this opens up a lot of discussion and thought and that it will incorporate my passion which is the community and also day-to-day things that people give a 'Second Chance' to. :-) If you have an suggestions, I'm open to them.

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas...

If that is the case, then this is the end of my post. But we had so much fun in Vegas and I’m dying to share what we did. (In no particular order)

1. Hoover Dam – where we were cautioned to not use the “L” word. I didn’t get it, it was leak. Also, I didn’t get a dam hat. There was only one option and it was not my look.
2. Motion Rides at the Excalibur – where I hope to work when I retire.
3. Freemont Street – Where the Little River Band played a most awesome concert.
4. Draw Poker – One of my newest fun games that I’m going to perfect before my next trip to Vegas.
5. Pooling it – It takes up part of your day when it’s 100 outside.
6. Massage, Mani & Pedi – Enough said.
7. Mon Ami Gabi – Lunch at my favorite restaurant.
8. Outlet Malls – although I didn’t spend much money, they had good options for shopping that weren’t outrageous.
9. Fireworks at Caesers Palace – They were right when they said they would be the best in the world. These were the best I have ever seen.
10. My ability to come home with money in my pocket. .

No, folks, I didn’t win. I know, most people say they did when they didn’t. I was indeed up at times but being honest, I need to factor in the losses. I did my ‘little’ part to help the economy in Vegas.

People watching is always interesting in Vegas. I think it is one of the best places that I have ever been to truly have the diversity of people in one area. And for me it particularly nice because my husband said to me on numerous occasions, ‘Have I told you I’m glad I’m married to you?’ I hear it more in Vegas than anywhere.

Anyway that is our trip in a nutshell. It was great and I can’t wait to go back. I really prefer to go when it’s hot out because there are many more options.

Is Christina home yet?

Jeez...I'm missing talking to her on the phone. It's like she fell off the face of the earth. I hope she had a lovely time in the Bahamas. Now, help me with some ideas for your birthday. :-)

It's only Tuesday. Again, it feels like Friday. I have a lot to do but I'm feeling a lot of support from my co-workers and that helps so much. We had a good meeting this morning and I'm feeling a little optimistic about things in general. Still, I'm going to miss my co-worker who is leaving.... boo.

We have a big CEO breakfast in the morning. I'm looking forward to it. I think I'm ready. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day...but productive. :-)

Two weeks from Thursday, I'm going to VEGAS BABY!! I can't wait!

Hola!

I stink at posting sometimes...might as well get used to it.

I finished my writing class tonight. I'm not sure about my final project but I finally got it down to 500 words and decided to go with it. I have a cert of completion so I guess that means that I passed. It was a fun class. I like the feedback from people who don't know me. It's much easier and I think it gave me confidence. I have subsequently taken a refresher grammar course and I should have waited. I'm a little behind. What it tells me is that I know a lot about grammar, but I still have some problem areas. I'll get it though. I'm glad I'm taking it.

One of my co-workers got a new job today. I'm not surprised. I'm happy for her, sad for us. She really is creative and I have LOVED working with her. :( Not happy about this at all. I understand her need to move on.

Not much else is new...although hubby is taking me to VEGAS BABY!! I cannot wait!! I'm getting all the stuff I need to get done before I leave so that I can have a good time.

No quote...but at least I posted. :-)
