THANK GOODNESS IT'S FRIDAY

This has been the longest week for me! I have been working about 12 hour days so I'm exhausted! Since I have two positions to handle now, I have been far from bored at work. My assistant, Ami, has been working out really well. She's a quick learner so I'm hoping that with time, she's able to handle a lot more. But already, she's been a huge help to me.

I'll be starting my traveling for work next month in July. I'll in Vegas for my girlfriend's bachelorette party next weekend, then I go to South America the 18th thru the 24th and then I'll be in New York in August for 3 days. I should be excited and I am a little but I can't help but wish my husband was going with me to each trip. But I have to realize that I'm a big girl now and I need to do these things on my own. Hopefully at one point, he can come with me to New York and my two girlfriends Jessica and Kelly can come another time. Woo-hoo!

So speaking of Jessica and Kelly, we had our monthly dinner last night. I worked late so I got to Jessica's house at 7:00pm. Jessica had to go take photos of one her clients' restaurants so we ate there. The food was delicious! The owner talked our ear off so I felt like I couldn't fully catch up with my girlfriends but I still had a great time. Since I was so busy yesterday, all I had time to eat was 4 (yes, 4!) Nutrigrain bars. They easy, quick and ready to eat! So with the mixture of a nearly empty stomach and the heavy, rich Italian food we were served, Jolene's stomach was very upset by the time we were done. :( I even woke up nauseous this morning but I managed to get ready for work.

Today should be another budy day for me but I'm really hoping it flies by because I've never been more ready to enjoy a 4-day weekend than I am now.

Happy 4th!!!
