The last day of work prior to a vacation is always odd. There is always tons to do before you leave and yet in some way you mind is already wandering to where you will be in 24 hours. For me its sun, slots and absolute luxury. With Las Vegas on the mind it seems hard to stay grounded on a cool day at a desk in Calgary.
I took care of anything time sensitive right away and am REALLY looking forward to leaving the country at the crack of dawn tomorrow. Packing last night, however proved interesting. I am going straight from a 4 day personal vacation to a 5 day conference with equals 9 days of varying outfits. I need to be fabulous in Vegas in colour, sparkle and the highest of heels where Chicago calls for a more business casual appeal. There doesn't seem to be a suitcase big enough to pack everything I want to. The shoe choices alone take up a full bag. I am seriously fretting over what needs to go and want doesn't. Need being a totally subjective term, of course. So with such a gigantic dilemma occurring in my head, work seems to be the only thing anchoring me firmly to reality.
I know how lucky I am to have the opportunity to travel and I assure you I am eternally grateful. I would rather spend Thanksgiving in Vegas with my family than around a table eating turkey ANY DAY. That's just us though, my family, we never feel the need to conform to traditions we didn't like. So we started making our own. I adore it.
So for the next 10 days I will be seemingly MIA, but rest assured I am having the time of my life. I'll try to post, but as usual I make no promises. Time simply doesn't grow on trees. Just know I am wishing you all a happy Thanksgiving and thank I am thankful everyday that someone still reads this!
I wish you happiness from the bottom of my soles...In great shoes.
I appologize for the lack of photo today but my camera is not co-operating. I promise there will be all new shoes to see after I return from my trips!
