So my second day of OR is over.  For any of you who don't know what OR is, it's a retail trade show that showcases any retailer you might find in EMS, REI, or your local sporting goods store.  It's pretty cool if you're in to that stuff- snow shoeing, hiking, summiting, traveling, camping, staring at the sun with polarized sunglasses...you get the point.  

I'm going out to dinner with my co-workers tonight at P.F. Changs- last time was a digestive disaster for me but it tasted so good I'm ready for the challenge again.  

I'm working hard on getting some pro-deals for industry discounts- not only do I love a bargain but it also scores brownie points with my man! 

I'm off to relax a little before le diner!  

This whole blog this has got me in a tizzy (wow- I sound like my grandma).  BUT, being a woman of certain technological capabilities, I am determined to figure out the whole science of a blog.  I've recently come to a realization that I haven't written in any of my journals for a long time and that I'm a pretty damn fast typer (minus the 3 glasses of wine I've already consumed tonight).  Maybe it's time to start exploring my thoughts, ambitions and dreams- and what the hell, let everyone else in on it.  How exciting and scary at the same time!

My cousin Michelle has an awesome blog called Cicada Daydream that I must say has greatly inspired me!  She is a mom and a business entrepreneur who seems to be taking off as we speak.  I think it's amazing that she can balance a home, husband, kids, and still find time to run her own business and keep up with her blog!  Michelle, you rock!

So- here is my first official entry from a hotel room in Salt Lake City.  I'm away on business and very much looking forward to my few moments alone to gather some much needed thoughts.  Cheers!
