Little Intern

Last week Sebastian had a fever so I had to pick him up from school and he was to stay out for 2 days. With 2 full time working parents we had to adjust our schedule!

On Tuesday I worked from home and on Wednesday brought him up to work. He was my little intern and helped so much! He went into my Luby's status meeting with the client and demanded "bring back kids eat free!" Then he was in one of my rep meetings negotiating for better rates. Look out advertising world - here Sebastian comes!

Every hard worker needs a little nap now and then



I promise, I really have a fever!

8 Years

In 2001, I packed up a HUGE 50lb bag (most important travel rule I learned - pack 1/2 of what you think you need and bring 2x as much money) and moved to Sydney, Australia for 4 months. I thought I would live off the land, hang out at the beach, maybe work at a bar and just enjoy not doing a 9-5 job. I was 27 and thought - this is the life!

HOWEVER, I found out very soon that I actually do like having a 9-5 job, living off the land isn't THAT fun and you really can't go to the beach everyday. Good life lessons!

During the last few weeks of my trip, Suzanne and I (Suzanne was my wonderful travel partner) went to Sydney's version of Napa Valley. I purchased a bottle of wine at the winery Tyrrell's that suggested aging it for 7-8 years prior to opening.

Suzanne came to visit last weekend from Denver and after 8 years, 6 moves, 2 cities, a marriage and a baby - I FINALLY opened the bottle. It was worth the wait, tasted pretty good and was so nice to celebrate life.

We had to strain it, yummy! CHEERS!
