Happy

This is what it looks like. And this was before my date later in the night told me, "My ex was so hot and not a good person. So now I'm looking for a less-attractive woman who has substance.". I'll be your substance buddy, but I refuse to be your, "less-attractive". : (

Friday

It's been a long week. A healing kind of week, both professionally, personally, and physically but a long week none the less. Back to back 18 hour days makes me long for the comforts of home and personal down time to decompress. Later, I'll be off the clock, and seeking some soul-soothing gym time, a manicure and a restful night at home. In my own bed. The actual party will have to wait until tomorrow, but I thought this photo was too cute not to share!

Austin: Day 4

I'm heading home, and feeling much better physically than when I came! Yay for Austin sun and healing powers!  Below are a few of my blurred Austin images, nothing like life on the run. Literally!

Austin: Day 3

I rocked it. Totally, rocked it. I had to make a presentation to my entire team today and yep, I rocked it. I felt confident, kept my presentation positive and commanded my audience's attention. My talk ended with applause, lots of compliments, and numerous levels of management asking me for a copy of my slide deck! Woo-whoooo! I rock! (See a theme here?) Now off to Austin's famous, Perry's restaurant. Can't wait to sink my teeth into one of their famous steaks, and sip a nice glass of wine. Or two. Or three. Work hard, play hard!

PS) I'd go for their famous pork chop, but was warned at last night's bar by a very cute bartender that it's literally a side of a pig and I'd never be able to finish it! Check them out, they're even coming to Chicago soon! Yum! 

Austin: Day 2

The first day here in Austin, Texas went well. Long, but well. Today finds me networking, enjoying the hotel gym, soaking up all the sun and weather I can, and  chowing on some Stubb's BBQ. Everything IS bigger in Texas!

Austin: Day 1

Awake at 5 A.M., I'm showered and heading to the airport hoping I can get out before the snow hits! It's going to be a long day and I don't want to end up like the image below!

Chicken & Stars

Still sick, and this is the only thing that nurtures the soul. 

I swear by it's healing powers.
Thanks, Campbell's!
