Oh, hello blog. It’s been a while. I’ve been a little afraid of you, to be honest. Too much on my calendar? check. Not enough sleep? check. Overextending myself as usual. check. A ridiculous period of severe burnout after returning from WPPI? Yes, ma’am! (Yes, my blog is apparently a chick.) (more…)
Hello from beautiful Las Vegas! Due to my tendency to wake up early to go to the gym and the three hour time difference, I got about 4 hours of sleep last night. I’m in our hotel room, looking out at The Strip as the sun peeks over the mountains. Despite all the hustle and bustle below, this city is pretty spectacular at (more…)
