Ski Trip!

I know I've been a bad blogger lately.  I thought I'd show you a bit of what has kept me so busy.  Last week I planned a huge ski trip for 350 of my coworkers (thanks to the help of LaDawn and many of my fellow assistants who made such a huge task possible).  I'm happy to say that everyone had a great time and no one got seriously injured - which unfortunately is a huge improvement over our last team offsite (a whole other story).  I wanted to post this picture as proof that I had all 350 of them smiling at once at our party, but I can't figure out how to make this bigger, so you'll just have to take my word for it.  

I coordinated everything from the shuttles, hotels, food, party, entertainment, skiing, rental equipment and lessons.  It was an enormous job.  The worst part was that I got really sick right before the trip - and I never get sick!  I got this cold/flu thing that's been going around.  I was really congested, had serious body/headaches and a very soar throat and cough.  It made it hard to have the strength to get my work done AND hard to get any sleep.  By the end of the trip I was beat!  I worked from home on Friday and slept almost the entire weekend.  I would sleep about 9 hours at night and then be up for a few hours before I would have to take a nap and sleep for another 5 hours!  Thankfully I feel much better now.   Here's a picture of LaDawn and I at the ski trip party.  We had a great time.  :)
