Who reading this does not LOVE to visit Oakland!?! Me.
So flying in here is so much easier than flying into SFO but it is Oakland. As I'm sitting here catching up on some work before my next flight I just saw an inmate escorted off the plane by eight, count 'em eight, police officers. Scary. I firmly believe in the innocent until proven guilty theory but if you have eight cops waiting for you ... I'm going to assume you aren't the nicest of people.
Okay so back to the traveling last week. I didn't write from the Twin Cities, my fingers couldn't type. It was too cold. I woke up Sunday to go to market and it was negative 12 degrees. Brrr. Okay, never mind it was damn cold. But market went great and it was wonderful to meet five of our new reps in the Midwest region. What topped off the entire weekend trip was dinner with my almost 91 year old grandma. I have not seen her in over two years and I missed the 90 year bash last year due to being just about 36 weeks preggars. We enjoyed a nice dinner, I cleaned/dusted/re-placed all her china, and I placed her roosters back on their ledge for show. I know what an exciting evening. But I can say I definitely made her week!
Last week was definitely a whirlwind though. I got home Monday and Lizzy came home sick from daycare. She ended up staying out of daycare until Friday and by then Ben had left for a boys weekend in Whistler. Must be nice! So Miss Lizzy and I hung out and did a ton of shopping and cleaning this past weekend. Such fun!
This is actually my last trip for a bit. Half our office will head to Frankfurt next week for Ambiente (a international housewares/furniture/lighting trade show) and I try to stay in the office when he is traveling, especially out of the country. My next trip is on the 22nd and I'll head to Orlando for about five days. Should be warm (crossing my fingers) but extremely busy as it is for a hardware trade show. We will see ... it is a new one, so hopefully we do some good business!
