VEGAS PART 2

From where I am blogging from my room in the Mandalay Bay I have a clear view of the Las Vegas airport.  I can see planes arriving and departing on the vast stretch of dessert sand.  I am happy to say that in a few hours I will be on one of those planes heading back to New York on the redeye.  It is a beautiful sunny day here in Vegas. Unfortunately I will not be able to enjoy it.  Funny thing about these work events, they keep you so busy that you never have the chance to step outside for a breath of fresh air.  I have been making the walk through the casino to the convention center and back to my room so many times, I think I could do it my sleep if it were not for the constant clinging and ringing of the slot machines.  Last night they had the annual "Bash" party where 9,000 hairdressers and corporate staff come together to celebrate. For this party, the company goes all out, hiring entertainment followed by a DJ to show their appreciation for our customers.  Last night Train played and we all got our groove on to Drops of Jupiter.  Good times, though two years ago we really had a dance party (see photo below).  One of the guys in Creative captured this rockstar moment of mine and ended up in the year end slide show...oops.  I guess what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas.

Anyway.  I am thrilled to get back home to see my baby girl, and Nathan too!  He has been holding down the fort and doing a great job.  Now back to work for a few more focus groups and classes before we head out!
