Blog Slacker - What have I been doing for 2 whole weeks!?!?!

It's official - I am on summer hours!! And, in enjoying the dog days of summer I have completely neglected my blog! So, I thought I would share what I have been doing for the past 14 days.....

Thursday, July 17th - visited a dude ranch in Arizona. Should have taken the time to learn the ChaCha Slide!
Friday, July 18th - A successful end to a fantabulous Deloitte National Leadership Conference. It was so fun to see the months of hard work pay off with a great experience, AND I shook hands with our CEO! Awesome day!!
Saturday, July 19th - Having arrived back in Detroit at 2am, I slept until 2pm! Sarah & the kids brought pizzas for dinner and I was entertained by the kids hula-hooping....with 5 hoops at the same time!!
Sunday, July 20th - Sarah & I took a jewelry soldering class in Ann Arbor. Interesting people, a good class and I am super-excited about my new skill (and the charms I made in class!)
Monday, July 21st - Back to the office was a tough transition - I managed to make it until 1pm. Took off a bit early for a haircut and color - clearly needed and much appreciated!!
Tuesday, July 22nd - Wore my new suit to work with my new 'do...felt like a million bucks!! And, Tony's stepdad Gary and his buddy Fred came into town for their annual fishing trip. It's always good to see the in-laws!!
Wednesday, July 23rd - Hopped on a plane to Chicago to meet Tony's mom Becky and her friend Roxanne for a Girls Shopping Trip. We got picked up in a stretch limo - I always knew I would love the lifestyle of the rich and famous!!!
Thursday, July 24th - Shopped the Magnificent Mile in Chi-town....what's not to love? Trekked to the Navy Pier and had a great dinner at the Drake Hotel.
Friday, July 25th - a walk to the Shedd Aquarium was a beautiful trek and we saw crazy penguins and Beluga whales.
Saturday, July 26th - the fun always ends too soon! Made it back to Michigan, picked up Willow and had dinner with Sarah and the kids (yummy pizza and lemony green-beans!)
Sunday, July 27th - Another day with Gary & Fred before they took off for Texas. We ate at the Breakfast Club, some of the best grub in our area!!
Monday, July 28th - First real day back to work was a challenge....going through almost 400 emails was enough to make my eyes cross!!
Tuesday, July 29th - Saw Jacob for the first time this summer - he's a great kid and skated well in his hockey game.
And today, Wednesday, July 30th - kicked it at work (thanks to a GREAT team!) and enjoyed a much needed Happy Hour with some colleagues.

So, that is the news you need to know......I promise to try to be more regular so you can read all the details as I go. Maybe I'll even add another picture or two!!!
