sweet home NJ

OMG. I HATE AIRPORTS! Totally disregard everything I said previously about people watching, yada yada yada. Where shall I begin?? Well, let's start with United Airlines decided to downsize the plane for our cross-country LAX to PHL trek. Then, they overbooked. So I show up to the gate w/ no assigned seat and somehow knew I wasn't getting back to NJ on fri at 6am as planned.

There is nothing worse/funnier than watching 25 people duke it out for a seat on a plane that we all know 5 extra people will actually board. So for the first time, I decided to make a deal. I happened to be #19 on the list, so I knew I wasn't getting on. I ended up w/ a few free tickets and some nice upgrades. All in a day's work. ;-)

So my big friday off was spent flying all day, but that's totally fine, b/c I spent the day reading the BEST BOOK EVER - "Good to Great," by Jim Collins. Anyone who really knows me knows that I'm rarely seen without a magazine or book, and this is my book of the moment. EVERY business owner should have to read it.

So I'm actually going to get back to reading the book (by the fireplace, of course - and, WHY is it so cold here in NJ that I can still do that comfortably??).

it's about time!

so i have finally taken my diary from the .doc to the www! can you say MAD PUMPED! so i have to say i'm beyond tired right now. i've been in LA since mon and have been working 24/7. it has finally stopped raining in LA, and i'm pretty pleased with that.

i'm taking a redeye back to the east coast, and i CAN'T WAIT for the flight home. i honestly love airports. it's the best place to read mags, eat the most unhealthy stuff, and just watch people. airport fashion is just so so important. it says a lot about the traveler. are they rockin' juicy w/ cute ballet flats? PJs? all so interesting to me.

so it's back to NJ for a fun family weekend and then off to nyc on tues. tues will be a super fun day b/c i get to speak at The Door, which is an AMAZING organization for youth (www.door.org).

ok kids. time for me to sign off and get to work. keep your fingers crossed that some handsome stranger from london sits next to me on the plan.

P, L, & H,

TW.
