My dog ate my week

It’s just like getting off the ferris wheel, feeling a little dizzy and disoriented, but realizing its 3 days later after when you got on. Where did my week go? Since my last posting, I’ve been literally spinning with sales calls and doing media outreach! All with success! A few new stores lined up to buy the collection and a some others want more information! Fantastic! I’ve begun compiling an awesome media list and outreaching to area reporters. So far so great! The response has been great. This is what small business has to do in the climate. We have to keep trekking and trying a variety of things to promote business.

Today was a milestone also on the personal level. I dragged my butt to my long-awaited, and long rescheduled physical. Three vials of blood later, I was squeamish after seeing my blood be removed. For some odd reason, I can’t take the sight of blood leaving my body. Call me nutty, but I like my fluids in my body.

On a related note, my little brother (the apple of my eye and a soon-to-be doc) is recovering after a serious ear infection. He anxiously awaits my arrival in NYC Sunday. Next Monday I have a factory visit scheduled to scope out the possibility of producing in the Big Apple as opposed to California (see previous post).

Hubby treated me to dinner tonight. That was great! We went to Pollo Ranchero on route 1, a longtime fave spot of ours. We caught up on the week over Peruvian chicken, ceviche, and chips and salsa (delish). We discussed the possibility of a vacation either in May or August. Since I’m lining up sales through May, August may be the most realistic approach. Towards the end of the date, I had to apologize because I was talking incoherently, due to the syndrome of toomuchonminditis. I swear I had no drinks. I remember telling him “You’re going to have to learn what I mean because I don’t always know what I’m saying.” He looked bewildered. He’ll be okay! Sometimes 20 things are going to on in my head at the same time full-speed ahead. Tomorrow nite will be super cool since his company offered him box seats to the Wizards vs Pistons. Whoohooo-a nice relaxing evenings with hubby! Can I ask for anything else?

Actually yes—a good night’s sleep. Tomorrow will consist of errands, work, work, work, packing for NYC and anticipation for the game! Go Wizards!
