Hi All,

Boy have I missed you. I have often thought about you as I worked in my hotel room from 8 - 6 pm every day. Today, we went to Sea World and the beach. It was the first day that I didn’t work 10 - 12 hours. As for the Adidas Phenom Camp, my daughter made the All Star team again. And, she received an award for being the best post player or something. I’ve forgotten the exact wording. I’ll have a lot of pics to post soon. As for software training and networking, I’ve done my fair share of networking in the past 4 days. I love it out here. Everyone is so friendly. But, I must go to work for another 2 - 3 hours to make up for some of the time watching the Shamu whale show. Talk soon.

Hi All,

I’ve missed you much. It seems like forever since I’ve talked to you guys. My family & I had an uneventful day of travel to the West Coast. We are so excited about the Adidas Phenom Camp and visiting the San Diego Zoo. My only dilemma is that I need to work a bit in between relaxing. Any suggestions guys? I’ll keep you posted as to whether I really get any work done or if I just lounge and enjoy San Diego. Talk soon.

Influenza Blues July 24, 2008

I’m feeling so weak and tired today. It’s been an entire week already. I can’t seem to shake the blues, or the flu that initially caused the blues. The summer is almost over and I’m searching for a long list of accomplishments for my shelf in the mudroom. As I continue to search, I will keep you posted as to what I find.

Next week my family & I are going on a journey to the Adidas Phenom Camp in San Diego; and possibly the Grand Canyon. I’m excited, although it’s hard to tell because the excitement is constantly suffocated by the influenza blues. It’s like each ounce of glee is met with two ounces of misery and glum. With the new airline carry on guidelines I’m not sure what I’m going to do, because I’m such a heavy packer. I have to have extras of things like toothpaste, outfits, and books in case I run out or lose something. My husband has given me the carry on lecture so many times thus far. I think I can, I think I can, I really think I can do this. I’ll keep you posted.

I missed a very important meeting today, and yesterday. It’s amazing how one’s personality changes when they’re a bit under the weather. I’ve yet to have a pity party because that’s not my style. To be perfectly honest, I feel like writing a few songs or poems to try to get rid of the influenza blues. Maybe I’ll share later. Oh yeah, before I forget, my car battery died a couple of days ago. The Triple AAA guy says it’s due to the heat. I vowed to remain calm as usual. I’ve got some great news to share with you next time. Until we meet again.

Hi All,

Happy Monday! I have a few intriguing facts for you to marvel over.

  • In a recent survey, the NPD Group, a national market research firm, surveyed a number of computer users age 18 + to determine how many people were currently downloading purchased software, instead of making an in-store purchase. An amazing 36% of the survey participants download various software applications directly from the web because of simple convenience. Next, 35% had the software shipped to them,  whereas 23% preferred to download the software, and have a backup disk shipped to them.  What does this report reveal to us? That we love to shop online, and we are making smarter choices to offset the rising gas prices.  To read this report, please visit hhttp://www.npd.com/corpServlet?nextpage=press-releases_s.html
