Add another book to the Career reading list...

It might feel like a snow day in Dallas but that doesn't stop out office...my national director just added another book to my list of will reads for my career. And since it came from "the big man" I guess it will be making the top of the list...."Smart Selling on the Phone and Online" by Josiane Chriqui Feigon here's hoping that I can get started on this one tonight.....

No Austin for Me!

Dallas got some serious weather last night. Rain, sleet, snow and mainly just ice all over the place when we woke up today. Nonetheless I am here in the office after a very slow drive in on almost completely empty roads. And a really cold windy morning (-4 degrees with the wind chill brrrrrr).

Rene however is at home in his PJs enjoying his breakfast and playing with Stitch working from home because his office is closed today-along with the majority of the metroplex.

The Dallas Fort Worth Airport is completely closed today though which means no travel to Austin for the conference for me! I am quite happy about that as I wasn't looking forward to traveling again with school work due.

Here's hoping that the weather clears up before the weekend and the Super Bowl....Tomorrow's temp at 6am-- zero degrees -- oh the joys of the winter!

Weekend Fun!

After working for 2 weeks straight I am so ready to relax a bit this weekend, or at least try to. With school and work extra time has been non-existent. Of course Rene has been working like crazy as well so this weekend we have a little fun planned for a late Birthday Present for yours truly!

We're going to see Ovo by Cirque du Soleil! This will be my 4th Cirque show that I have been to and Rene's third I absolutely love them! This is a traveling show that is in DFW this weekend and I highly recommend finding out if it will be coming to a city near you because all of them are amazing!

"OVO is a headlong rush into a colourful ecosystem teeming with life, where insects work, eat, crawl, flutter, play, fight and look for love in a non-stop riot of energy and movement. The insects' home is a world of biodiversity and beauty filled with noisy action and moments of quiet emotion.
When a mysterious egg appears in their midst, the insects are awestruck and intensely curious about this iconic object that represents the enigma and cycles of their lives.
It’s love at first sight when a gawky, quirky insect arrives in this bustling community and a fabulous ladybug catches his eye – and the feeling is mutual.
OVO is overflowing with contrasts. The hidden, secret world at our feet is revealed as tender and torrid, noisy and quiet, peaceful and chaotic. And as the sun rises on a bright new day the vibrant cycle of insect life begins anew. " - Cirque du Soleil website
