Long Week

Last week, my average work day started at 6AM and lasted till 10PM and boy, was I ever tired on Friday! We had a huge convention where 150 delegates (marketing managers) flew in from all over the world to see the studio's 2008 line-up. It was hard work but the convention was fun. I got to see some really, really, really cool movies. To top it off we even had directors and movie stars come in and explain to the managers how the films were made. Sometimes our line-ups can be questionable with a few stinkers here and there but all the movies we watched this time were really good. I was very proud to work for the studio I was at after seeing all the great films. Kinda makes feeling stressed out all the time worth it cuz, you know our work is not going to be in vain.

Because my work is stressful, I often forget that I am sitting on a lot that makes movies. Don't get me wrong, I like what I do for a living but sometimes I just have so much to do I think I am going to explode. Anyhoo, sometimes I come out of the fog that I am and realize what a cool job I have. Friday morning, as I was watching a presentation for what we hope to be one of the biggest movies of the summer, I was listening to one of the most successful movie directors of all time and I was thinking "How many people get to go to work and listen to this guy?"

Besides all the great movies and the famous people, I got to visit with people I speak to from all around the world like the tequila drinking guys from Latin America, the smiley gal from Australia, the crazy Japanese, the serious Germans, The fun loving French and of course all my colleagues from the London Office. There was many late night dinners and drinks this week.

When we have events like this, I really get a good indicator of how much my work goes around the world. I guess in some respects, when you are sitting in a boardroom listening to people thank you, for all your hard work in getting materials to them fast, I guess it makes a person feel validated in the world. So thank you world, you made me feel validated this week!

Back to craziness next week and the fog.

This weekend is action packed. Got Chicago Black Hawk hockey tickets at the Staples Center today and then dinner with a couple we meet at one of my vendor parties a while back. Tomorrow is the OSCARS! I am having a small party. I am so excited to be having a party. I always go to other people's parties but never had one myself. I got all these prizes and can't wait to pick out all my games today. I printed out my ballots yesterday and all the movie posters. The only big thing left to decide is what to make to eat!! You have to have great snacks at an Oscar party!

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

My Favorite Gourmet Trucks

As of last night, I have now tried 18 food trucks! Only 60 more to go! My friends, Krueger and Kristy joined me at 55 Degree Wine in Atwar Village to try the always busy Grilled Cheese Truck! I have run into the truck a few times now but something has always prevented me from trying their food. Mostly the really, really long lines!! This time the hour wait wasn't so bad with two girls to gossip with. By the time we got to the front we were ready to execute our food plan. Kristy took lead and placed an order for 3 sandwiches (the brie, the mac-n-cheese and the rib meat) plus the dessert sandwich and some tator tots!!! I was a bit bummed that they didn't have the sandwich I went for, the Harvest sandwich but the 3 sandwiches we got more than made up for everything. I was glad to try this truck with 2 girls because we split the sandiches in 3rds which was awesome because I got to try a variety of their sandwiches. Now I must add the Grilled Cheese Truck to my list of fa...

7th Birthday

Mark ur calendars, Dec 12 is an awesome day to go to Disneyland! There was no one at the park yesterday morning. We had 3 amazing hours 8am to 11am to ride! Some Disneyland records we set yesterday:  ✅A After many years, we finally got a wristband (and bought) a giant Disneyland candy cane.  ✅F First people on pirates of the carribean.  ✅ Line for Indiana Jones was 10 minutes long  😳  This never happens and we sat next to the people (strangers) who sat next to us on pirates b ut we did not walk over to the ride with them. ✅ By a fluke, we were also the first people on Big Thunder Mountain and kiddo rode in the cart by herself! (They opened late and we were in the right spot) ✅Kiddo  rode front seat on Matterhorn because a kind guy, his first visit, said he was too tall to sit in front and she wouldn’t be able to see sitting behind him ✅ Prode space mountain for the first time and huffed that it wasn’t scary and it was no IncrediCoaster. And the line...
