it is business, but it is like a vacation

pre trip checklist: target had everything i was looking for - the little black purse, the black skirt, the pink cardigan, the white cardigan, the black tee shirt.

flight: arrived at airport & boarded without incident. flight was smooth & on time. & with tomato juice.

hotel: had a room ready. with wireless. and, a cookie.

conference day one: registered without incident.

lunch: outstanding turkey & spinach wrap. starbucks coffee. and, tortilla chips are default in this state.

meeting: mande many contacts and bonus! got two book proposals.

run: 4 mi in 34:30. it is very, very flat here.

supper: pistachios, combos, cherry pepsi, and a banana. b/c i can eat whatever i want. so there.

spontaneous scratch-off lotto ticket: $40. score!

post-supper mtg: total & complete bore. bore. bore.

summary: excellent day that one boring meeting cannot ruin.

i think i am going to spend my $40 on souveniers. the gift shop has a really cool bronze cowboy hat thingie that would look great on my desk. and, maybe a li'l something for mini-me, too, b/c no matter how big mini's get, you always want to get 'em a gift.
