Catching up.

Good morning from rainy Southern California!  I took the day off today to try to find that home of mine that I've had on my mind for over two months now.  I'm finally in LA for the entire week, and my travel season is beginning to wind down for a while (a couple more trips and then March begins to resemble a little bit of normalcy), so it's time to get all of my personal things in order.  Numero uno: Find my new apartment.

It's been over a week since I have checked in to say hello, so a bit of a recap for you:  I spent a week in Dallas, and I so enjoyed it!  In between my work duties, I got to visit with my dear friend CK and her fiance AL, who are getting hitched next month in Dallas!

Then I headed back to NY for the week for meetings, and I had a great time with my old friends, newly made friends, + my colleagues there.  Sleep wasn't the first thing on the agenda that week, so I crashed pretty hard this weekend once I returned.  I've been in bed the past few nights no later than 930, trying to recup before my next trip this weekend.

Where do I head this weekend?  I'm off to Viva Las Vegas for another trade show (trust me, there is no other reason I spend more than 48 consecutive hours in Vegas, unless it is for work!), and a few of my fabulous coworkers from around the country are all flying in as well (shoutouts to ALC, LB, + JW! and a ghost shoutout to KD, who will be missed!), so I cannot wait for a great work week!  Once I get back from Vegas, I'm home for a couple days, then back to New York for five days before I fly home in time to toast my birthday night :) 

Speaking of my birthday, coming up on 25 is starting to feel a little strange.  For as long as I can remember in my career and friend groups, I've been the youngest.  And I'm plenty happy with not having to whisper my age when a colleague inquires how old I am, but it's strange pondering how my position in all of those situations is starting to morph into me finally just joining the regular ranks.  Does that make sense?  I'm still mid coffee cup, so I feel my mind is a bit groggy still.  Forgive me if I sound like I'm just rambling.

Also, over the past couple of weeks, I've had some really interesting conversations that I want to kind of share in a nutshell soon.  Two in particular in my mind have really stuck, and I think that they're ones I'd love to share with you gals, just in case they are thoughts that can hit you like they did me.  I'll figure out how to put them into words and will keep you posted.

Until then, I'm off to finish my coffee and get ready to pound the pavement.  Thanks for sticking with me during the weeks that I disappear because of a crazy schedule.  If you are on twitter though, definitely follow me there, because that's much easier to do quick updates on!  (@laceyinthecity)

Have a great Tuesday!  xoxo

Oh my darling girl - so good to see your blog pop up on my Google Reader this morning :)

I know it is crazy and your schedule is nuts, but the selfish me will be happy when you return to LITC more often :) don't worry, I keep up on Twitter...

Good luck with the apartment search - you know I can empathize with you on that one! Much love to you, darlin, and enjoy the SUNSHINE!!

I like the non-traveling LITC cause she updates more often :) Although I don't mind when she takes adventures to MT :)
