11 Days Since I Posted Last

Ok people, we really need to catch up...

Let's see the last time we talked I was heading to CT for a work convention. They really do know how to throw a party.. The first night we all went to the NBA Hall of Fame in Massachusetts. We got to hear Walter Bond and Bill Walton speak.. My hotel room was AWESOME.. I kept wondering if anyone would notice me sneaking a king sized bed through the lobby. ;)

Here are a few pictures... we were shuttled from CT to the Hall of Fame. We were the last of the riders (our group was ALWAYS the last)... This is our bunch at the Hall of Fame. My company had towels printed that said Team Basement Systems and we had Bball Mardi Gras necklaces.. Some people have TOO much money. :) The kickoff! That's Walter Bond.. And Bill Walton.. ... he said he comes up to Yao Ming's chest!!
Me holding all the awards. Our company went from number 24 dealer (out of 200+) to number 17!! The top 10 dealers get four wheelers. We're almost there.. That's our home office.. very impressive...

I was so busy that weekend.. sessions all day and parties at night.. all in all it was a great time. A lot of learning that I've brought back with me and will incorporate into the office and what I do... Oh yeah, I won Employee of the Year for my company. The joke is that the Dutch (we have many at my company) have had the monopoly on this award for year. I dethroned the Dutch! :) Oh YEAH..Saturday in the middle of the night I got very sick.. I will spare you the details. My only real relief came when one of the guys brought up some Immodium and I was finally able to rest.. I missed all of convention Saturday because of being sick but to be honest being with loved ones made me forget about how I was feeling. What a great time!! I didn't get to see my niece, long dysfunctional story but I did see pictures of her.. what a cutie. I left a bunch of clothes with my mom to give to my brother and SIL.. I left Mass Sunday night returning to MD early Monday morning.. and then back to the daily.. My boss has been away the last two weeks so that has made my life a lot busier than normal. Production was waaay up the last two weeks to that makes for a happy owner (and a happy Tina)...

How did I almost forget this... Thursday night I took all the girls out to eat at the Arundel Mills Mall.. to celebrate birthdays, goodbyes and everything else we will miss when they all return home.. Here are a few pics from the night.

This weekend I'm trying to catch up on sleep and also trying to get better.. my body always retaliates whenever I pack my schedule solid. Sorry I've slacked w/ the blogging guys.. To be honest, I've slacked w/ everything... I feel like I've been eating everything in sight!!! Arrgh! But next week is a new week for me. Gonna get back on track!

There you aer. I was beginning to wonder what had happened to you and going through Tina withdrawls. Glad to hear you had fun on your trip and sorry to hear about not feeling well. I'm guessing it was a "one stomach flu away from your goal weight" moment.

Hope you're all better soon and that you start posting more again :).
