Meeting Planner emerges from the rubble...

So I took a little hiatus from blogging because of an enormous load of work, travel and just overall stress!!!

Since August work has taken me to....

Honolulu-nice view

Key West-not a bad view again.....wish I could sit outside and enjoy it.

Chicago-wearing boas in light of the evening dinner theme.

Baltimore

Maui- how cute are we in our leis....


and San Antonio-yup thats me on a longhorn...

Its not all fun and games folks. Day starts off typically with an early morning flight and you hit the ground running either running an event or conducting a site inspection in which you are in back to back meetings with hotel, vendors etc to finalize plans or make some decisions on where you plan to negotiate the final contracts for your meetings and events. Your feet typically end up blistered and bleeding by the end. Sounds so glamorous folks I know.

Since August I have also lost a planner hired a new one and am now searching for another planner for another one I am losing again. Am I working these people too hard??? No....one had to move to kansas and the other is going to be a full time mom. So....its back to the drawing board to get another team member hired and trained in superman time before I leave on maternity.

Yes folks.....I am expecting a little girl in March and I think we are crazy!!!!! But we are excited and looking forward to her arrival in March.

In a nutshell.......thats whats been going on since August and if I really went into detail this blog would be a book so I promise not to be gone so long again as I share more of my stories from my life as a meeting planner and mom as I know it.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!!!
