So to the few of you who may have missed me last week, I was away at a 7 day train the trainer event. What a long week it was, but also I finally think I feel connected to the new roles in my job and am feeling inspired to bring the vision to our staff. So despite the hours away from my little comfy home, it was well worth the trip. I got to go with one of my favorite co-worker/friends also, so that also helped to make the week more enjoyable.
In addition to the training, they fed us like crazy and didn't stop the entire time, infact I actually chose to skip meals and have an apple instead a couple of times.
One night I got to go out and have dinner away from the event. It was an awesome dinner with awesome company! I even tried Lox nd it was yummy. LOL, I was told it would be my new favorite addiction and that I will go out of my way to find it. I'm not sure how often I'll have that opportunity, but I'll definitely be more aware from now on!
The last night my roomie and I skipped dinner and did a little shopping. We hit Trader Joes, World Bazaar, and a Marshalls, then we went for cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory. All new experiences for her. It was a lot of fun!
Saturday we left Skokie about noon and got home around 2:00. I slept for a few hours, worn out and happy to be home. Still catching up on my sleep and homework today, my boss was nice enough to give us an extra day of weekend to make up for loosing our Saturday.
