{ok, so my friends don't look exactly like that - they are much better looking!!}
Since I was in Atlanta all week on business, I didn't get a chance to write about my daily spots of happiness. However, I don't want you to think that they didn't exist - so here they are, all jammed into one entry!
Going to ATL is always fabulous because I have amazing ATL friends. Plus, since I was at a CDC meeting, I have a few CDC/Grantee friends that I like to catch up with too.
I haven't been sent to ATL for work since the winter of 2007, so it's been awhile since I saw them (unless they have made the trek to the DC area). And I love seeing them. It makes me smile.
Pretty much every day was a spot of happiness because I was soooo busy seeing people I almost missed the CDC meeting - haha, just kidding, I promise I was there and paying rapt attention to every presentation. I had dinner with grad school friends, old roomies (and their expanding families), Peace Corps friends, CDC/grantee friends, etc.
Although the meetings were long and a bit onerous (not all presenters present equally), I had something to look forward to every day. I was a busy socialite.
So, if you were wondering what happened to me - that's it. Too much hotel time, slow hotel internet, and lots of fun people to catch up with. Great days.
Then I totally thought I'd catch up on the weekend, but was busy getting my wedding dress fitted, taking Ivan to English class, coaching golf, making cookies, and having dinner with golf friends (oh, and washing clothes, sheets, and towels). It was a great weekend too! Next weekend I'm off to Florida (please be warm, please be warm) for golf coaching certifications. Excitement, excitement!!
Welcome back! Glad you had a great trip!
