Vegas, curls, bowling and steak

Is it really the end of October? Well, Happy All Hallow's Eve to all of you!

This month has FLOWN by...I had 2 major events this month that took up most of my focus, first I went to Las Vegas for an industry confernce 2 weeks ago, then we had Sammy's 7th Birthday party the Saturday after I came hoe, (a veritable bowling bash), and here it is, Halloween! How did this happen? I guess all those rainy days were the passing of October???

Oh yes, and I also had my haircut. One of these days I will post a picture of me so you can all understand why a haircut is a monumental event for me...I have naturally curly hair, and for years I hated every single strand of it. But a few years ago, my SIL told me about Ouidad, and for the first time in my life, I had a haircut that didn't send me running to a sink to wet my hair so I could start over! Not only are they skilled at cutting hair like mine, the Ouidad products are amazing. This is all a very expensive undertaking, but hey man, its my hair! ;-) If there are any people reading this blog, who are "blessed" w/curls, you NEED to click the link above...it is soooo worth it! It is so good, that my best friend now sends her curly-coiffed husband with me! So he and I had "a date" while our spouses stayed home with the kids.

So, my "date" and I went to the city (NYC to the rest of the world) for our Ouidad appointments, then had a yummy yummy dinner at an overpriced steakhouse...but so worth it.

So...Vegas! I think I have mentioned before that I love Vegas. So, when I saw that IPComm2005 was at Belaggio, I made a beeline to my boss' office requesting approval to attend. Of course, they all made fun of me, (my affection for Vegas is no secret at work either!)...but my business case was strong, so I got the approval. One catch, Chris was unable to join me (ran out of vac days and he is just too damned busy at work), so I had to go alone. I have done this before, and its not that much fun. But this time, I tried to make the best of it...hey, Vegas...no kids...! So, every evening, after the seminar, I made special efforts to take care of me. Room Service, excellent vino, a massage, and of course used their luxorious gym and sauna! It was extremely relaxing, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Unfortunately, my relaxed spirit was all I took home with me, my money was left there...split between Monte Carlo and Bellagio!

That's all I have time for now, heading home soon for Trick or Treating with my 2 Witch Sisters!! Damn they are adorable! This is the first year the little one will really appreciate what it means to ring a doorbell and get some candy just for being cute as a button in her costume! I can't wait! (and not just b/c I want to setal some of their treats...although she had better hide all the Reese's from me!)

Happy Haunting!

Hey Jamie, you have a great blog here. Vegas, curls, bowling and steak caught my eye and I thought I would put a post on it. I'm looking for help.

The site I have is a work from home moms site. Its all about, need I say it, working from home. I think people should have the choice to build their own income instead of somebody else’s. Freedom of well being and all of that...anyway I was on your site looking for ways to help my business. I'm really looking for ways of building better rapport between recruits.

Anyways Jamie thanks for the great blog. I'll just have to carry on my search till I find what I'm looking for. Take care.
