Tired and Grumpy :0(

Oh my, I think I'm still tired from my trip.

In all fairness, if I would get to bed at a decent time that would help.

I've got to stop burning the midnight oil...

So today I had a list of things I needed to do, but nothing was falling into place.

Appointments got cancelled, I left the house later than planned, 

had to deal with difficult people, got caught in the rain

and my throat hurts. 

I stopped off and got some soup, brought some home for Mom, too. 

Came home, put things away, did my pilates, took a bath

and now it's just 9:10 and I'm writing my blog.

That is a very good thing. After this I'm going to bed.

Here are more pictures from my trip

My Room

 White Out Night

This designer brought her little baby

 Me and my mentor Lori

 In front of the Convention Center

  This was the store

  

These are new products which will be available in the Fall

Each designer present went home with these

It was like on the Oprah Show

They would show us, everyone would gasp,

then they would say "...and everyone gets one!"

and then all the ladies would SCREAM!!!

New Bracelets coming out this Fall

I finally got a picture with Bella!!!

View of the City from the Convention Center

  

Walking back to the Sheraton

I loved the Banners along the street

Then a designer from Kentucky and I went on a 30 minute tour

of the city in a Pedi-Cab

This guy was peddling us. Pretty cool!

This pizza place is suppose to be famous.

You have to wait four hours to get in.

(We did not have time to go there)

My Mentor won an award for being one of the top ten sellers for the year!!!

The Night of the Gala Banquet

I forgot to have someone take a picture of me

so I took one myself.

This outfit was very special to me 

because I wore it to my oldest son's wedding. 

Morning I left. Waiting for the Shuttle to take me to the airport.

Plane that would take me to Houston

Inside the plane

I sat next to a very nice lady from Arizona.

I wish I would have caught a picture of her.

She was very attractive...short whitish-gray hair, NO MAKEUP

but tan and beautiful. 

She and her husband were going to visit friends in Ecuador for 3 weeks.

She left her cell phone and computer behind. 

I admired her so much.

This was my lunch during my four-hour layover.

It was delicious!

After two flights to get me to Phoenix and the one that began my journey back home

I decided I would not get sick and could eat this before I left.

  

The Houston Intl Airport has a tribute to Pres George Bush

  

I especially loved this picture.

It should his grandchildren welcoming him home.

  

And this one showed his dogs

This was pretty cool.

This was in the airport

(Took this pic for you, Mark)

  

I passed several of these in the Houston airport.

I wonder if heart attacks are a common occurrence when people are 

running like crazy from one terminal to another to catch their flight???

I really did well on all four flights

as far as not being scared of flying (or crashing)

but I wasn't quite sure if I should be comforted or concerned

about the nun who sat across the aisle from me

reading her Bible with her Rosary wrapped around her wrist.

Interesting clouds as we neared FL

Almost looked like icebergs in water.

Not the best picture, but I had to take it myself

and the angle is always crazy that way.

We really were so happy to see each other!

I ran to him when I saw him.
