I made it! We officially packed up the showroom and in a few hours I will be back in San Francisco! The last day started out with big smiles, thinking about the few hours standing between me and the plane ride home. After the last appointment around 2pm we started to tear down the booth. …

Another day done
The longest day of the show happened yesterday. The longest day called for a bright and cheery outfit: It was a long and SLOW day that ended with a lovely dinner and drinks at Pappadeaux Time for one last day complete with break down..
WIAW – Trade Show Style
Eating while traveling is hard enough but eating while working at a trade show is even more difficult. You are either running around frantic and don't realize what time it is and skip a meal OR you are bored snacking on the chips and candy that are around the various booths. I have been trying …
Things I never thought I would do
Yesterday I found myself doing several things I never thought I would ever do... 1. Attend a sales meeting reviewing a 2013 toy product line that includes items I helped create. 2. Use a stationary bike for the 4th day in a row. 3. Drive around Dallas, TX. (Me as Chauffeur) Life is surprising - you …
I see the light
Yesterday ended with a more less complete show room and an evening of game play. After another exhausting 8 am to 6 pm day full of set up for the toy show, we all took a half hour break to freshen up and then headed to a local pub to play our latest creation, Pub …

Sorry I’m Late
Well today's post is very late - but that was because I have been on vacation. Well a STAYCATION. After an 8.5 mile very hot run on Saturday, Dave and I headed to his parent's empty house in Tiburon for the evening. Just a quick drive over the bridge and we were in a tourist …
Wine Country Day Trip
With this map as our guide and our taste buds as our motivation we explored Napa for the day. Dave navigated in and out of fields of grapes to get us to various wineries and we enjoyed every sip, swish and swirl. With this gourmet playground only an hour drive from our apartment we are …
Everybody’s working for the weekend, but I’m working ON the weekend
Jordan, staff, reporting for duty. Saturday, a day normally reserved for lounging, lazy exercise and walking around in the beautiful weather, was instead filled with sitting in a hotel conference room with 40 of the volunteers that I manage. The day was productive but long and filled with lots of bite sized candies to get …
