My Week in Review: A Day in the Life Sunday

Snow and too-cold-for-spring temps aside, I woke up this morning thankful it was Sunday. Now, the last two weeks could officially be put behind me.

Instead of dwelling on things from the past two weeks I'd like to forget like checking into the wrong hotel for training, wiping out on an icy sidewalk, presenting material I was not familiar with, questioning professional choices I've made, missing a suspense for a book outline, a multitude of pending work items and being royally challenged by polling technology in an employee presentation, I choose to focus on the positives:​

  • Chicago, shopping, friends and signature items
  • One cup of coffee with a community colleague
  • One cosmopolitan over dinner with a new friend
  • The kid's volleyball team winning a few tournament matches
  • Pushing through and completing 3 weeks and 9 sessions of Cross Fit ​
  • Staying up to date w/friends and life happenings through social media
  • Work friends, family friends, kid friends and martini, wine and beer parties
  • A team of human resource professionals who make me look good every day

What more can a girl ask for?​ How was your week and what went well for you?

Chicago Rerun: A Day in the Life Sunday

Today is the last day of a girls weekend in Chicago. Last year it was new friends, Frye boots and girl-time. This year it's much more of the same. Some of the faces may change but truth remains - there is nothing quite like a weekend with the girls.

My shopping list includes a chunky gold bracelet, new shoes, a walk through Tiffany & Co and my rejuve centers on girl talk, spa time and not thinking about anything but the steak dinner I am sure to have. FaceTime will keep me in touch with the clan as I scope things out for a big/little girl weekend with the kid in July.​

How'd the weekend go? I don't know since I am writing this before I leave but if last year was any indication, it was be great! When you read this, I'll be heading over to the spa for a massage and facial. Be jealous!

What have you done for yourself lately?​
