Some things from my Business Trip

1) I can do hard things. More importantly, I am actually pretty good at problem solving. While I might fret about what could go wrong, I actually really love a good crisis. Basically I'm the Olivia Pope of selling packaging equipment.

2) Hydration is key- this is true of travel at any time, but I worked especially hard on it while in Vegas. We spent hours setting up our booth in 103 degree weather. I took vitamins and drank water and ate smoothies, and I managed to make it through the show without getting sick.

3) If Vegas were a person, it would be my arch nemesis- loud, tacky, expensive, and self-involved. Every city has it's own personality, and while I think I'm probably a Seattle or a Portland, I would date Boston and be best friends with Cleveland or Nashville. But Vegas? Vegas is everything I cannot stand in a person

4) Rob Thomas wrote my life- Rob Thomas (creator of Veronica Mars and iZombie) is the understated Joss Whedon. Please, do not write off iZombie like I initially did. Rob Thomas has this gift for creating fierce, sassy women who get shit done and are the perfect balance of a tough softie. iZombie is essentially just Veronica Mars with the added zombie story-line. It's on Netflix next week, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. It made for excellent hotel entertainment.

5) Recovering afterwards- I got home Friday around 2am. I'm still unable to get out of bed before noon, so I've missed the first two days of Applefest, but I finally made it to hermitage where there is a Leonardo's pizza and Daffin's chocolate waiting for me. Cross your fingers that tomorrow I can get back into my normal rhythm (doubtful though, since tonight is the first SNL episode of the season).
