Yesterday my company said goodbye to a coworker as it was her last day of work. While I will miss her presence in the office and having her as my desk neighbor, I am happy she has found other opportunities that will fulfill her. Even though it was sad realizing that I would not see …

I survived
I made it home! I lived through 8 12 hour work days in a row and it feels so good to be home. The only problem with heading home after being away for over a week is that this is what dinner looked like: But it was delicious purely because I did not have to …
The end is here
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..

Working Women
Day one of set up for the toy show started with a good half hour on the stationary bike, planks, push ups, wall sits, squats and leg lifts. Little did I know that this work out would just be a warm up for the rest of the day. It was full of moving, unpacking and …
Down South
Surprise! I'm in Texas! Dallas to be exact, but let me rewind. I work for a board game company and there is a trade show going on in Dallas next week so I left early with a coworker to start setting up. This was the first time I had been through security with my new …
WIAW – Scrambled
Scrambled is how my mind felt by the end of Tuesday. It was an incredibly long day full of back to back to back meetings that ended with an overwhelming desire to go home and collapse, but a strong will sent me to the pool. The morning started with some banana and sun butter …
