New additction

I have found a new potential addiction- going to the spa! Last fall a new all male spa "Sir Spa" opened just around the corner from my house. I had been meaning to check it out and get a massage and some pampering done and the Christmas gift from Grandma seemed to be the perfect opportunity to indulge a bit. It was wonderful right down to the luxury bath robe and delighful shaving products I got to try!

This is in preperation for a busy January of travel. Next week I will be in Iowa all week long. I have built some good business relationships in Iowa and don't mind traveling there too much. The following week I will be at home office all week long for a conference. It now feels so weird to stay in a hotel and be a guest in city that still feels like home to me. I am looking forward to seeing many good friends and family. To end January strong I will be doing a quick overnite to Dallas, TX and then a quick trip to Peoria and Springfield, IL. I am just thankful that I have the Sirius satellite radio to keep me company!

I hope the new year is treating you well and keep reading for more updates!

Welcome new Readers-

I am aware that I have some new readers trying to figure out who I am- WELCOME!!!

Happy New Year

It's time for a new year- so welcome 2007!!!! I always enjoy a new year- we each have a fresh slate to start out on. While it is impossible to erase the past- I enjoy the idea of having a new year to make a fresh start. 2006 was one of the best years of my life- I am sure someday when I am gray and old- I will look and think of how pivotal the year really was. There are many new things that I want to accomplish- so a new year is the perfect time to do that.

Today I am posting using my new personal computer- so if you ready my blog and have a blog of your own- please comment so that I can bookmark your blog on my new pc easily!!

This has been a fun New Years- Megan & Matt had such a fun party to ring in the new year (see photos). Laura (aka Fergie) came back to Chicago to visit with me - and we have had a blast. Everyone is meeting the new boy (Jon)- and so that has been fun. Even Missy from Des Plaines made it into the city to have some fun last night-.

May 2007 bring each and every one of you happiness, health, prosperity and anything else that may tickle your fancy!
