the quiet life of a girl

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

I haven’t talked much about work or really even personal stuff lately, have i?
Work first.  Busy and I love it.
I have made no bones about loving what I do, and I still believe that the sign of being a  success in my business is not about the balance in my bank account or the number [...]

Quiet….but….Always Thinking….

Friday, May 9th, 2008

I’ve had a busy - but a good - week.  I just haven’t gotten over here to write much.
I forget, at times, how comforting routine is.  I have little things that I do when I am traveling to make things run more smoothly for me, and as things happen, I get out of those routines.  [...]

Seize The Day!

Monday, May 5th, 2008

Each morning, there is the possibility of you waking with the troubles and grudges of the day before - or the chance to start fresh.
I think I prefer to start fresh - and seize the day with all the wealth of opportunities.

We can learn from Icarus. Don’t be afraid to seize [...]

Lovely Travel & Satisfying Lusts

Sunday, May 4th, 2008

Ahhh….The National Air Force Museum in Dayton, OH.
Satisfying my lust for lovely planes….like Shoo Shoo Shoo Baby….The B17…..

I’ll share more of my photos later this week. For now, it’s brunch with Kiddo…and then finish packing. The car service will pick me up a little before 4 PM today as I head into DC [...]

Never Ending Checklist

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

The work with my newest client will be (mostly) out of the DC area and my next trip in will involve staying 12 nights in a row. In one way, I am really looking forward to it….because the thing that stresses me on the travel is all the back and forth part. Once [...]

Note to Fellow Travelers: Learn to Pack Better

Monday, April 28th, 2008

Other Airlines have started it, now American has joined in. Joined in on what? Charging $25 for a 2nd checked bag on Domestic Flights…..
We want to make sure you’re aware of the current checked baggage policies before you head to the airport. Customers who purchase domestic economy class tickets on or after May [...]

Heading Home

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

Today has been a somewhat leisurely day….breakfast, out to Arlington Cemetery, and then for a nice brisk walk down King Street.  I had a lunch that was kind of bad for me, but I figure the walk helped balance that out!
I didn’t realize how beautiful the cherry blossoms are after they have begin to fall.  [...]

Need to Visit the Man

Friday, April 25th, 2008

I have until tomorrow on this trip….and I am thinking that tonight, I need to visit this man….or at least his Memorial.
I really enjoyed my visit to the Jefferson Memorial earlier this month, but it isn’t in my heart like The Lincoln Memorial is.  I think, tonight, after work, I will make a visit to [...]

Morning Travels

Monday, April 21st, 2008

I am waiting for my flight to board. I feel like it’s been forever since I’ve done an early morning flight like this… I had a car service pick me up this morning…..4:30 AM….my plans for the week have changed slightly, though. This was supposed to be a week where I hid out [...]

A Change Would Do You Good

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

If someone were to ask me, I would say that I am incredibly flexible and take changes in stride.  In recent months, however, I would agree that I do have some routines.  Today, I realized that I like the comfort of sameness in many ways.
I needed some new luggage because no matter how fabulous your [...]

Springish & Shopping

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

Spring is very much in the air. We are experiencing the weather disturbances that happen….but also the incredibly beautiful days as well.
Home was 85 and sunny when I landed. I changed from my jeans and sweater to a skirt and sandals. I had lunch with Miss O, picked up kid from school, [...]

Pure Loveliness

Saturday, April 5th, 2008

There are moments when life brings about pure clarity…..  I really do love this city…
I was brought to myself and reminded that “Passion” is one of my words for 2008 and it had slipped away from me a bit.  It’s been a really good trip for me.  I just pray I have the strength to [...]

And a Very Happy Easter….

Flowers at the famous “Pike Market” in Seattle….

Plane Lust

Friday, March 21st, 2008

It’s been a bit since I’ve talked about my love for airplanes.  You would think as much as am on and off planes during my daily life that they wouldn’t hold my attention….but…I can’t help it.  Show me a shiny aluminum plane - especially vintage WW2 Era Stuff - and I am head over heels [...]
