What happens in Vegas… may be posted on my blog

career, travel / Leave a Comment

Wow. How to even begin to describe my trip. Especially given the oh-so-popular maxim of “whatever happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.” But let’s see what I can do to tell some Absolut(ly) Fit adventures while keeping intact the anonymity of all those involved 🙂 Wednesday night, I got in fairly late thanks to my changed flight. I was reading “The Recessionistas” on the flight (well, alternating that with falling asleep, since it was like 1am EST and I had been up since 6am), and it was a fabulous book. While I think it’s supposed to fit in the chick …

Turning the day around

career, diet, health and fitness / 3 Comments

Last night was the US Open, and I was going with my coworkers and bringing clients to it as a big event. I had a lot of fun playing hostess: offering drinks and snacks while we were in the limos riding over to the stadium, writing down orders and then playing runner for the concession stand and bar while at the event, etc. The game itself became a bit secondary to entertaining, but since we were watching two games where the outcomes were pretty clear right from the start (Wozniacki vs Cibulkova and Federer vs Soderling), I didn’t mind too …

Running through it

career, health and fitness / 4 Comments

I’ve run through breakups. I’ve run through rainstorms. I’ve run through depression. And today, I ran through a buy out of my company. Last night, I was out with my new team doing the normal consulting getting-to-know-you-routine. Unbeknownst to us, while we were throwing back coffee-flavored tequila shots at the bar (try it, it’s AWESOME!), all the partners in our firm were meeting in a conference room to vote on an offer to buy the firm. This morning I got up at 5am (!) to get in a good long workout and burn off the alcohol calories from the night …

Things are looking up

Yesterday was a pretty red letter day. Verizon told me that my phone would ship out on Monday morning with two day shipping. However, when I called them to get the tracking number, they told me it hadn’t been sent yet, but promised to send it Tuesday. I was a bit worried – they were shipping it to my Chicago hotel, and I would be flying out of Chicago on Thursday evening, so that left little room for delays! Imagine my surprise when I got home from the hotel on tonight to find the package waiting for me. I immediately …

Oh yes, I’m here, just busy. I ran the Wall Street Run last week and have quite a story to tell there… but am optimistically hoping I’ll have time to write it up as an official race report and post it. No guarantees though – you all know I’m terrible about that. I’m currently wrapping up my project in NYC and will soon be shipping out to Dallas for at least the next few months – yes, back to the days of hotel cooking, water bottle weights, and trying to avoid the Consulting 15. I’ve gotten into a great gym …
