Happy Mother's Day!
Today I celebrated Mother's day with my family. I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful Mother. I couldn't ask for a better one. We all went out to dinner at Johnny's Bar and Grill where my brother is working. I just got home and we're all about to have cake and coffee. I realize that it's early but anyone who is Italian knows that dinner on Sundays starts at 2 in the afternoon! I still think that's bizarre but whatever.
Hmmm...so what has happened since I last updated....?
I went to Seattle, Washington about 2 weeks ago. Wow, what a beautiful city! I didn't love it as much as Chicago but it was great. I swear I bet I'll end up living in Chicago at some point in my life. I feel such a connection to that city. Plus, the plane ride is less than 2 hours from NY. I went out to Seattle with my co-worker Mike. Mike and I had a blast...it was a lot of work but we were able to go out drinking and just walked around the streets of the city late at night smoking ganja. During the day we basically sat through numerous pointless meetings and trainings. I was nervous at first because this particular parnter hates my company and unfortunately for them had to beg to work with us again. But despite their defeat they were pretty welcoming. I think Mike and I made a great impression. What I've noticed from all these business trips that I've taken in the 2 years I've been working with my company is that New Yorkers work too damn hard! Every other place is extremely laid back. Poeple come and go from the office all day...and there's NO DRESS CODE!
Mike and I got suited up the first day. We looked hott...I'll admit. I even wore heels! Then we get to the office and there's people in sweat suits, piercings in their face, tattoos, etc. After that day we basically dressed business casual. At first someone asked if we were lawyers! it was funny.
Gotta love the corporate world.
Also, we had awesome weather in Seattle. It didn't rain once..it was about 70 degrees everyday. Just picture perfect. Apparently, it rained for 2 weeks straight before we got there.
Europe is 90% planned out. We got that vacation for a steal!! We also ended up getting a free connection with an apartment in Paris thanks to Maud!!
I'm so excited about that trip I think about it everyday.
Other than that everything is great.
